Update #2. I went to both promenada and the official immigration Monday, denied a TR. My gf emailed them on facebook,  and they told me to come in, and immigration then made a post about how people that have TR visas can in fact get a residency certificate. I went in Tuesday and while I was finishing up, I asked for the 500 baht next day service. She says that is unavailable now, and I will have to wait for the document in the mail. I wonder how long it will take? Classic Thailand. I guess I can't complain, I will get my licenses just slightly delayed. I would have been better off using a professional service and paying a bit more. (assuming it worked lol) 

I'll try it out unclemhee, thanks for the tip

Update Feb 8, 2021. I went to Chiang Mai immigration  to get a residence certificate, and asked why i wanted one. I replied to get a license, and was declined the residence certificate. I cannot get a license on a TR visa. Was told to contact my embassy. Sad 

Just finished my asq today, on the way to Chiang Mai. NO, you cannot buy a SIM card at Suvarnabhumi, and you can't exchange money either. You are taken straight to the ASQ hotel directly after doing paperwork.  My gf shipped me a sim card from Chiang Mai and it took less than 2 days 

I have an American drivers license and motorcycle license... I bought a motorcycle and it would be nice to drive it around the neighborhood, but I'm sure as hell not going to drive it illegally. When I get out of quarantine i will go apply for the motorcycle license and update my expired (by one month)  drivers license in Chiang Mai. I'll update you guys when it is done about the process I experience

Thanks guys I'll let you know how it goes when I get out of quarantine in about 10 days

I have a 2 year thai drivers license that recently expired (Jan. 8)

I have a motorcycle license from my home country that I would like to add to my Thai license when I re-new it... Has anybody ever gone thru this process?  

I've read that Thai licenses that have expired within the last year are still valid due to the pandemic... Any advice?

Im in the process of getting my TR visa from America as well...

May i ask you a few questions Kevin88? Which website did you use to apply for the coe?

I see two options:

https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/ 

https://thaiembdc.org/onlinevisaapplication/

Did you get your TR visa back from the thai embassy before you apply for the COE? That seems to be the way i understand it. 

I also would like to know this ????

This bad boy is waiting for me in chiang mai, I think i was the first person in chiang mai to get one. Only 55 will be available in Thailand this year. Unfortunately I am waiting to get into Thailand from the usa with the whole covid thing, I work 5-6 months seasonally in the states and then spend winters in Chiang mai.

I have a fantasy of giving me gf my old 300 bike after lowering it and getting a 600.... But if anything should happen to her id feel responsible. Her mum lives with us afterall. Decisions decisions 

I like the abs and slipper clutch on the kawasaki z300.. Safety ya know...thanks for your help guys

Im worried about being able to walk it inbetween cars during heavy traffic ect. Id consider lowering it or shaving the seat, maybe if i need a couple inches i can seach for a mechanic that can install a lowering kit. 

Hello lads i just took a msf course in the states, and im in the market for a starter bike, a naked 300.

I have been looking at the yamaha mt-03 and the kawasaki z300... Im 5'7 ????, which bike would be best for a shorter guy? Does anything else come to mind? I stay in chiang mai by the way
