The point is that some people prefer to do it that way and be guaranteed that there will be no hiccups.   You don't have to queue, don't have to worry about whether you've got everything perfect or have any conversations, in Thai, with the staff if you don't want to.  

 

If you don't want to do it that way you can do it whichever way you prefer.

Perhaps an agent is useful in some cases like dealing with "Non-" visas at Immigration

Your interpretation of my comment is 100% incorrect.  The agent I recommended does not help to bypass any of the DL application requirements, "their" applicants need to meet exactly the same standards as anyone else going through the process independently. 

Their service bears no comparison to Immigration agents in the way that you suggest, they simply makes the process completely hiccup-free for those foreigners who may not want to risk going through the process on their own or those whose confidence in their Thai language skills is not that high, that's all.

Pattaya: Clear water as Thai and foreign tourists flock to Jomtien on holiday

Eh .! Where did the foreign flockers come from .. 

Most probably came from Thailand where they're living, the others from whichever countries' visa holders are being allowed in.

The "monkey" appears to be wearing a black face mask...and a man bun.

Anyone with half a brain would do it themselves and save thousands of baht. But, nice plug for your business. 

It's not my business, it doesn't cost "thousands of baht" and someone with half a brain would be unable to do it.  Apart from that your comment was 100% accurate.

I recently renewed mine in Banglamung. I had a Thai friend with me to help me. But there was absolutely nothing that she could or had to do. They all spoke English and I was assigned to a group and we were guided through the whole process. They are also not happy if people hang around there that don't apply for a license. 

Good for you.  I wasn't in Banglamung.

They also don't have the requirement that it has to be with a local bank, only states english language bank statement in original.

"6.2 For investor, please submit a Current saving bank statement in Thailand with minimum balance of 3,000,000 baht per person in English. The bank statement must show account owner and account balance".

Their rep does the running around with the paperwork at the licence office for you, you just have to sign the forms, do the physical/reaction tests, watch the video then pick up your licence.

What's the point of this? The "paperwork" is just making copies of your passport and signing them, and also signing the form, which ladies at DLT will fill for you.

The point is that some people prefer to do it that way and be guaranteed that there will be no hiccups.   You don't have to queue, don't have to worry about whether you've got everything perfect or have any conversations, in Thai, with the staff if you don't want to.

It's funny to me how so many expats married their ST girls and then suddenly get all hiso about red light.. 

It's even funnier to me how so many expats think that they know anything about fellow Thaivisa members and then make false assumptions about them! 

It's also funny how so many are so touchy and protective about their beloved red-light areas!

And what does the "senior civil servant" expect to find if he leaves a McDonalds milk shake in the sun for 8 hours? Total idiot.

McDonald's sell milk shakes in Thailand now?

No, it's the fat underneath the skin that's high in fat!

What's a DA polisher please? And a 'detailed' .

DA stands for 'dual action', not 'duel action.  A 'detailed' car is what you have after a 'detailer' has had his way with it.

HHMMMM  just did a Red Notice search for him and there were no results to show. Maybe using an assumed name huh.

Hmmm...maybe you should remember that ,no matter how many people search the Interpol website, that's all it is, a website and not every Notice is shown there because member police forces don't need to get their intelligence from websites!

• "He said the RTP has not received any information from the 194 countries that are members of Interpol after a Red Notice was issued a couple of weeks ago. "

Just completed a search of Interpol Red Notices, see hereunder, and there is NO red notice, so more lies by the RTP

Not every notice appears on the website!

Does Dubai have an extradition treaty with Thailand or not.  Not sure they do if Thaksin is still there under the watchful eye of the Emirates.

No, Dubai does not have an extradition treaty with Thailand.

Killed a police  man...drug  charges  ...

If they really wanted him  a reward  for  a few  million  would be posted world  wide

He would be found in days  ( However   took long time to find Ronald  biggs but he was  clever not an arogant rich  apendage!)

They  dont want to find him  too many will go under  if he  goes  down

Good Luck Thailand 

Finding him is not the same as arresting him and getting him to Thailand.

Is he really on interpols list, and if he was, he would be easy to track down by the paparazzi. I doubt that he’s been hiding in some palace on lockdown for all these years. He was in London a few years back and photographed. 

Paparazzi have no powers to do anything and photos of him don't do anything.

Dubai doesn't have treaties with other countries. The UAE does though!

There is no extradition treaty between the UAE and Thailand.

Ridiculous people! Send a letter? You send a delegation to the UAE Embassy, and with a confirmation that he is living in UAE also send a delegation to apprehend him in cooperation with the UAE authorities. It´s really sad when ordinary people like me have to tell you how to do your work, boys.

It's even sadder when you give incorrect layman's advice to the Thai authorities when you clearly don't understand how any process of getting him back here works. 

You seem to assume that the UAE would want to co-operate with an "RTP delegation" in Bangkok and then detain Vorayuth in Dubai where he has committed no offences.

Is he really on the Interpol Red List? I couldn't find him.

Apparently not, according to Interpol. If he was, he would be on the list

They're not all shown on Interpol's website; international police forces don't need to get their information from a website.

Give a little bounty, then the paparazzies will find him in a few days, with photo evidence.

They can find people.

Then what can Thailand do?  Knowing which country he's in doesn't necessarily help the Thai police and photos of him definitely don't help.

 If they really wanted to find him, they could.

Then what do the RTP do if he's not in Thailand?
