Yes. We also use 3bb. But the answer is more what location you are in. 3bb is best many places.. AIS might be better somewhere else based on their lines.. True or even 5ghz over the phone might be best for some people also... 

Its like this. You can apply for a DL based on tourist visa and get 2 years temporary license.. IF you want to renew it again under a tourist visa you get 2 more years.. If you have a Non Immigrant(O, A , X or other) or of course different visas like diplomatic, Education visa or whatever you get 5 years on the extension.

Melantonin is the bodys natural sleeping pill. The brain produces it.. However.. This is why they call it a drowsiness pill. Bad translation , but it makes you naturally sleepy.. but not if you are excited or have general medical problems.. I think ... not sure. the point is that once i has helped you sleep the bodys natural mechanism takes over... It helped for me withouth any bi effect, but that was some 20 years ago.

No..hehe.. BUT.. they actually made a case out of this i saw in the news.. Will be funny to see how that escalates.

Well.. maybe just start another school, but maybe you have to restart that from outside again.

You completely misunderstand the rules.

 

Your Thai license is invalid for driving the day it expires. 
The regulations allow for renewal with no special extra requirements up to 1 year. Your new license has a different number.

 

Between 1 year and 3 years expired you are required to do a theory test. (Your license can be renewed) Your new license has a different number.

 

Over 3 years you are required to do a driving test and theory test. (Your license can be renewed) Your new license has a different number.

 

On each renewal you get a different license number. 

 

The procedure you outline is not within the driving license regulations. 

Your DLT office may go outside the regulations, many others will not. Others may try your procedure, they may get lucky or the DLT office may enforce the license renewal requirements.

 

this is once again TIT YMMV

 

 

 

Well.. seems we are going in circles.. I do understand the rules the same as you.. Im just saying they told me to take theory and practical exam once again after 1.5 years already. I know they practice 3 years sometimes. I have also just been told that.. However.. 1 year seems to be the norm here in Phuket. However.. I produced an international license and asked them to just renew it again or convert it you might say. This was withing their capability and was so done. However.. In the end they gave up that and just gave me a license since it as they said it did not make sense to replace the old with a new one since i had the license already for 15 years. Anyway.. It was good for me since i then got 5 more years and not the regulatory 2 on a new one which i anticipated i had to do.

I am not saying anything you say is wrong.. ????

The law has been in existence for around 15 years already.. Maybe more. Its just that the law in existence was much easier with a requirement of 10 millions invested. Seems they have just inflated it and called it new. As far as I understand selling that before to a Thai owner was never out of the question either. I am wrong of course.. I have to be, but I see this new law as the same just 4 times more draconic.

yes

The procedure you outline is NOT guaranteed to work. It may work for some people, it may work in some offices.
 

Other offices have refused to allow that exact procedure. They have maintained that once issued with a Thai driving license you are obligated to follow the Thai license process and cannot bypass it in the way you suggest.

 

TIT YMMV

Yes.. I do not mean to argue agains what you say.. But the thing is .. It is not illegal to do this.. as you in the eyes of the law start again.. And when you start again this is a normal procedure.. Your old license is invalid and can not be renewed after one year after it was due for renewal. Hence it is not of any use anymore.. So a brand new license with new registration number on it is required.. Then it is considered a new thing and the procedure discussed is a normal way of doint it.. I do know it might not work everywhere. But it has worked recently. That is for sure..  ????

Faulty information. The video is required in almost every office for all licenses, however you can watch it online and get a completion certificate to print. You were given a break about the theory test as over 1 year expired it is required.

Again. This is not faulty info.. Some offices never ask for the complete certificate print.. Some do not even bother to send you to watch the video again.. This was in Phuket.. I hear some other provinces require what you say.., but it is also depending on what kind of licence you already have.. Maybe they are more relaxed if it is a 5 to 5 new year renewal.. From 2-5 I also did not watch any video, but I know some people has to.

Utterly false information!

It is absolutely not false info.. I just did it and so did one of my friends. Either you need your driving licence from abroad verified by the embassy OR the easiest way is to bring an international licence that can be purchased in your home country for around 20 EU or a little more maybe.. This international license is acceptale for conversion with no tests(and no visit to consulate or embassy).. Except the reaction test that is distinguish red from green light.. break test so to speak.. Then you will be issued a new license for 2 years.. since the old one is not valid any more.. 

Remember.. This is for people that already have gone more than one year over the limit.. Meaning.. the license can be renewed within a year after expiry. If more than one year you can do my mentioned method.

Missed KL.

They do not care.. Not that I thought so either , but.. Solution is to bring an international license and get a new 2 year one withouth driving or theory. The easiest fastest it is...

Yes.. of course.. but instead of writing anything.. This link explains it..

You just need a different pci-e adapter.. They do not have the same connectors so they would not fit in a nvme adaper anyway... Its a no brainer. I mean.. You would not be able to put anything wrong into the machine.

the m2 NGFF SATA adapters are cheap, about 10 USD

 

NMVe is not compatible with m2 adapters, even though the connectors and pins looks exactly the same, be very careful, it could possibly damage the adapters or the NMVe stick if you plug in one in the other

 

 

There are two M2 Cards.. NVME like Grandpapillon says here.. but also NGFF . There are converter adapters for both of them for apple macs. 2240 is the lenght.. and it would work good , but .. the 2240 ones are normally only sata disk.. Anyway.. All can be used, but for speed a real nvme disk m2 is recommended.

you have two options.. buy a disk from aliexpress.. free freight.. they cost around 50 usd to thailand .. or buy a similar priced m2280 ngff or nvme.. if its a mac.. remember to buy the adapter for 100 baht also.. from proprietary Apple ssd connector to standard ngff or nvme M2 disk.. You can also use 2240 which are normally ngff disks and half the size but a litte bit wider.. 

This is an example of something you could use.. normal sata ssd. 2.5

If you referring to travel to Thailand then

is wrong, and so is

Probably better not to take travel advice from health personnel.  Travel personnel would more likely say this:

This is the law like mentioned.. , but its not what is applied in all circumstances. Especially if you change airline along the way. Last flight into the county is the key. From checkin time of that the pcr test has to be valid from the time written on the paper which will be from when you took the test. Not when you recieved it. But yet.. claiming the law does not always work. However strange it is.

The answer is like this..

The law says.. 72 hours from first port of embarkation.. However.. It is not always implied like this.. Health personel in europe told me. Not hearsay.. It is the last flight checkin time that you actually check in.. or in other words.. The last flight until you land in Thailand. This is if you have a multi leg which most have.

And yes. To complicate it further.. It is from the test time.. Not when the result is recieved.

Hope it clears stuff up.. 

Sidenote... It is normally applied to first port of embarkation time.., but it could backfire and lets say you change airline.. if its a different airline you normally have to show it again.. meaning.. IF you fly Lufthansa from point a to b then it will definetly be first port of embarkation.

I would say Gilbys.. The vodka is tripple distilled.. but do not try their Gin.

Question only about Thai Pass here.  If applying for multiple Thai passes, based on possible different dates of departure, would you have to pay for additional PCR tests and new hotel reservation each time you submit new Thai Pass application

Yes.. You would I am told.. Its a risky game.. but might be an option.. That said.. jan 15th is confirmed in the media. But I have not seen an official document about it. It would be useful for a few if so. 4 new provinces are declared sandboxes also. That is eventually good news. Phang nga, Krabi, and samui off my head here.. its one or two more. Koh chang possibly.

IF so.. It would solve a problem for some people.. Not for the majority. But like said earlier here.. It is possible to apply for a sandbox pass as well.
