New law coming: International permits not accepted for temporary driver's license
Which is why i went and got my License on Tuesday, before the supposed rule change. Showed up the day before and DLT Information Desk said I had to watch the 5 hour video and take a written test, video had started 20 minutes before so i was s.o.l. that day. Went home and the wife called DLT help line and got told to come in the next day for my physical test, gave a list of documents to bring etc. Tuesday morning was there before 8:30am, got sat down as people from 3 different desks looked over my documents, eventually I was given the Physical which consisted of a gas and brake pedal test, a color code test using a gaming controller, a depth perception test using a gaming controller, and the final test was flashing lights testing peripheral vision. No video to watch, no written test to take After passing the physical testing i went and paid 205 Baht for a Car License, then went and sat down to take a photo for my 2 year DL.... All together, that morning took about less than 3 hours. People were friendly and two members of the staff had impeccable English skills😁

Welcome to Thailand: Where No One Can Drive and No One Gives a Flying Toss
Luckily, i learned to drive in the desert of southern california where there were no roads or lines or traffic lights, so i do ok here. Still call out the idiots constantly but the wife said as long as i dont use my horn she wont worry too much. People here in Udon Thani will actually pull a gun on you over traffic🤣

Epithets for life - do you have any?
- Why are there no fat cows in Thailand?
Rice chaff has nowhere near the calories of hay. They're underfed from the environment lol. Also, a fat cow would die of heat exhaustion pretty quick out here. I hear there are some pretty enterprising Thais out there breeding Angus, but you're not gonna see em on the side of the road anytime soon- Would you talk to a famous Youtuber if you saw them?
YouTubers in Thailand? Nope. YouTubers that I watch for Gaming or Warhammer 40k, I'd buy 'em a drink and offer to cook an American Meal with Thai Ingredients😁- If you really want to understand Thai politics and the current situation -- this is it.
You tread dangerous ground posting Thai Politics in a forum.- Do you tend to shun donning Hi-So fashion during the Hot Season in Thailand?
So many fellow farangs would be shocked by how much wearing a button down shirt and closed toe shoes when dealing with any Thai who has a little "authority" or social status means to Thais. I have never been harassed or given the run around when dealing with a Bank or Immigration by following this rule. Oh, and a fresh haircut and well groomed appearance goes a long way too.- I tried to get a safety deposit box at a Thai bank.
Go to DoHome or HomePro and buy you a Safe. No need to have a Safety Deposit Box that you may or may not be able to get into when you need to....- small business ideas in Isaan
Not 100% True. He's an American and has access to Treaty of Amity, so he wouldn't need a Thai Majority Shareholder...- What are you having for Dinner tonight?
We did Steak, Pork Streak, and Mashed Potatoes with Gravy and Garlic Bread. Still cheaper than Merica😅- Price of a cup coffee
