Used to be show a foreign license and or a IDP no written test NOw The Department of Land Transport has drafted new regulations stating that international driving permits can no longer be used as proof for obtaining a temporary driver’s license. Foreign nationals will now be required to pass a written test to qualify for the license. Temporary driver’s license: Applicants cannot use an international driving permit as evidence for obtaining a temporary driver’s license. Foreign nationals seeking temporary licenses: If a foreign applicant uses a valid foreign driver’s license for the same vehicle type, they will still be required to take the written test (previously exempted from the written and driving tests). The license will remain valid for two years, as before. The use of a foreign-issued driver’s license, which is still valid, or an international driving permit under agreements to which Thailand is a party, will no longer be accepted as evidence for obtaining a personal driver’s license. The validity of the personal driver’s license has been extended from two years to five years. This applies to cases where the applicant has previously held a temporary personal driver’s license that has expired. https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/news/general/40051501

FYI: regarding ur basal cell carcinoma , i had one removed from my forehead 5-6 years ago at the plastic surgery center in the Siriroj hospital in town, it was about 1 1/2" across and not deep, They gave me the option of having some skin removed from behind my ear and stitched on to cover the hole OR allowing it to heal naturally I chose naturally, no scar or mark at all and much cheaper

??? US passports have 50 pages , last 3 pages are GOOD for visas ( says so at the top) so total 42 pages are for visas> one price

when i got my new US passport in nov 2023, had to file a new tm 30 with the new passport number did it online so no big deal

I used to get new passports when down to 5 pages left. Usually got one every 2-3 years between 85 and 2016 I miss those fold out pages of the 80's....lol Now I travel less and last ones did it after 8 years
