Ain't nobody got time for that!

She would have needed a full UK Motorcycle Driving License to drive any scooter or motorbike regardless of engine size. The CBT license is not covered on the International Driving Permit, if she had one of those.

I flew into/out of DMK domestic and thought it was great. Took the MRT and Red Line there. No queuing as security and pretty much straight through. It has a 7-11 past security with only slightly higher than normal 7-11 prices, but still much cheaper than shops in any other Thai airport I have been to. It also had a purse/bag shop with unique designs of a good quality and reasonable prices, where I bought a few gifts. A lot of the jet bridges seemed empty with no aircraft, but perhaps it reaches capacity at certain times of the day? Took a taxi from the airport back to the apartment coming back, and had a odd short wait and the waiting area and process could be improved.

I had a damaged wheel on my luggage during a trip to Thailand and tried several local places that advertised "Bag Repair", but they were unable to repair damaged wheels on Luggage. I think they are more handbag repair places, rather than full sized luggage. In the end I went into Mr DIY and bought some wheels in there that I do not believe were made for luggage, but fortunately matched exactly with the holes on my luggage, along with some screws and bolts, a small screwdriver and pair of pliers and repaired them myself. After another trip to Thailand since then the wheels are still good and holding, and much cheaper than buying new luggage. They seemed to have a whole section of loose swivel wheels on metal bases of different sizes, along with some pre-packaged sets, so perhaps worth checking if the existing wheels can easily be removed from inside and then a trip to Mr DIY (Stores all over Bangkok can be found on Google Maps) and then making some new holes in your existing case to make the new ones fit, if they need four holes like the ones I got.

No. It is Thai English. That means you understood what was meant, but decided to anally post this commenting about the grammar used, rather than make any meaningful comment about what the article was actually about. Well done! You have added another "useful post" to your forum post count!

Does anyone know or recommend anywhere I can buy a Thailand Phone Number to use with a Single User SIP Trunk?

I am from the UK, where the insurance is on the driver and the car, and realise it is different everywhere in the world. With this being the first time I have checked this, I was unsure what the situation for Thailand is. I was also unsure if being on a foreign driving license and IDP (Non Thai) would also have any exclusions or special requirements on standard car insurance that could prevent me from driving.

I know I need an International Driving Permit, but can I get insurance to drive my girlfriends car? My girlfriend has a small car and she is insured. I would like to do some driving for her, so she does not have to drive everywhere. I read somewhere that the insurance is on the vehicle and not the person, but I am unsure if that is true. If it is would I be covered just driving it?

Then they should remove dual pricing on these attractions and increase the opening hours of temples, as most shut around 6PM leaving nothing to do in the evening. Also have sunbeds out on the beach every day on Koh Larn, rather than remove them for cleaning.

I have a Late Evening flight from Bangkok on my last day, so do not want to get a full price hotel room as there will not be time to sleep, and will leave my luggage there and collect just before leaving the city. However I would still like to have a quick shower before I leave, so I wondered what the cheapest short time hotel room (near Nana or Asok) would cost? Alternatively are there any cheap massage places that have a private shower room available to take a shower? Asking as a lot of places seem to have closed since my last visit, and expect prices may have gone up.

Showing as Canceled on FlightRadar24. The only flight that seems to be canceled too.....

Most real tourists will not go somewhere for more than 30 days. (from UK) Vietnam gives 15 days and Cambodia does not even offer a free entry visa at the moment.

But those international tourists from international flights would have used immigration at BKK to transfer from international to domestic departures, and the covid tests would have been checked at BKK immigration and not in Chiang Mai. In Chiang Mai they would have been treated like domestic arrivals and would have been treated like Domestic Arrivals and been able to walk straight out without any further checks needed. The number is still 160 of international arrivals that would have been checked at Chiang Mai. Source: https://www.thekohsamuiguide.com/bangkok-airport-transfer-flight-how-to/

As far as I am aware there is a rule you have to wear a face mask in a Thai Shop in Thailand. Does this also apply to a Thai Shop in the UK selling items imported from Thailand?

Scoot are also doing direct flights from Gatwick to Bangkok, which I guess would also reduce demand for the BA flights.

I have read that in Pattaya you need to take an ATK test before you can use restaurants and enter some areas like Walking Street, and also need to take one to enter Khaosan Road in Bangkok. Does this policy also apply to any other restaurants or places (areas, tourist attractions etc...) in Bangkok or Phuket?

Considering the already expensive flight tickets do not include any hold baggage, and the amount you have to pay for hold baggage, this is no big loss. I also wonder if the new direct Gatwick to Bangkok direct flight on Scoot has something to do with this (also more expensive than connecting middle east carriers as prices do not include hold baggage), however for me Heathrow is now a better choice since the UK re-nationalisation of the train system train prices to Gatwick Airport have gone through the roof and a single from where I live to Gatwick Airport would cost more than £40 and Heathrow less than £20 using the Underground. Brit<deleted> Airways are also opening a new budget airline at Gatwick to cut costs by offering staff less benefits, so we may see that then open a budget root from Gatwick to compete with Scoot.

I am learning to drive a scooter and am looking to take my A1 motorcycle test on a 125cc automatic scooter in the UK. I know I can then get a international driving permit from the Post Office which would allow me to ride 125cc scooters in Thailand, but if I wanted to convert this in the future from a UK Driving License to a Thai Driving License how would this work? Does the Thai Driving License have motorcycle engine categories (A1, A2, A) like the UK , and would I even be able to covert a UK A1 motorcycle license at all to a Thai Motorcycle License, or would they require a full UK class A motorcycle license for this (which I really do not want to take, as I do not want to drive large geared bikes - Just automatic scooters).
