Hi all, I appreciate the feedback I get on this site. A wealth of knowledge. I am in Thailand on a METV until end of March. I wanted to get a Scooter (maybe 100-125 cc). It is my understanding I could buy it and get the book, but I cannot register it with GOVT since I do not have Thail DL, just US DL and IDL. I was wondering if my Thai GF could buy it and register with Govt even though she does not have a cycle endorsement in thailand (I have it in USA on my DL and IDL). In the US one could buy it, but when they went to register it they need to show proof of insurance, which you cannot get without a cycle endorsement, so you really cant register it. I was wondering how I would get around all this in Thailand without my GF going through a class to get the cycle endorsement as she is not gunna pass that lol. Can She register it with just the basic compulsory insurance (no third party...I know this sucks)? Whatever I try, is it best to put a deposit on the bike and get the book to try and get govt approval before paying total cost of scooter? thanks again Darren

There is a 60 day extension after the 30? or are you short-handing the idea of leaving and coming back with 30 day and then 30 day extension to get the extra 60. Thank you for information Darren

If my Thai Girlfriend buys a car, can I drive it while in thailand...ie can I get on policy without a Thai DL. I will only be in country for 4 months. What do other people do? thanks Darren

Hi, spending 4 months in NW Prawet for Winter. Wondering best way to find expats and events in my area. I tried searching for Prawet FB groups but did not see anything. Any advice is appreciated. All the best Darren
