Yes I'm trying to get the test as required by Thailand, THAT IS WHY I ASKED. My mother is old and terrified of them stcking things into her brain so Im trying to find the nicest way she can test.

Hmm maybe its an iphone weakness or possibly just the older models, it was 6 or 7 years ago when I was experiencing this, hopefully my new model wont have this issue!

No they check it before you board and wont let you board without it, at least here in Canada.

preeeetty sure its the sun heating my phone ???? Have you ever laid something out flat in the sun for an hour and then touched it? thats heat from the sun

Wondering if the saliva test is a viable option to enter the country unvaxxed.

Yes this might be the answer I was looking for, Ill try to set it up more upright, it did indeed used to lie almost flat and get so hot it would shut down. Thankyou

ok so peple arent believing me lol, I used to mount an iphone in the hot sun on my motorcycle for like 40 minutes and it would shut down from over heating, maybe you guys arent driving for that long or not in the sun? I dont know

Is quadlock worth it? its incredibly expensive once you get all the addons, I was looking at the weatherproof wireless charging head and the extra weatherproof adapter cord, the vibration dampener as well.

I was about to buy an expensive phone mount for my motorcylce Im buying next week in Thailand only to remember that when I lived there the phone under the hot sun would overheat and shut down so using a phone on a mount for gps in a sunny day was absolutely useless, is there any way around this? lol like does anyone know of a product that wont let my phone overheat? Im guessing no but thought Id ask

From what Ive gathered searching online, Pro-Atk just means not using a test kit yourself but it being administered by some form of professional? And I assume that comes with an email detailing the results which the authorities will then check to be allowed in Thailand? This is for unvaxxed people. Or is there really a certain level of antigen test that needs to be done to be legitimate? Pro-Atk is not a word anyone else uses and can only be found on websites explaining Thai requirements, took me a while to see a page actually explaining pro-atk means not using a home kit by yourself so Im hoping that is correct.

Good job on the bike! Ya I wouldnt be putting the stickers on myself, Id mess it all up ????

I'll be in Bangkok

I'll most definately be buying a Suzuki GSXS 750 next week when I arrive, but was wondering if anyone here has changed fairing colour or stickers on their bikes or wheels? Would love to see them if you have a pic. And wheres the best place to get that done.

Id be interested to know where they require 800cc, has anyone else seen that and remember where it is?

Hey I remember back in the day there was a special big bike parking section at a lot of malls, and they had a CC requirement, like only bikes above 600CC could park there or something like that. What is the highest requirement youve seen and where?

I guess Ive been doing alot of browsing on facebook marketplace and the bikes up for sale there all offering financing are at terrible rates and land up raising the total cost of the bike way too much.

I was shocked to see that when you finance in Thailand you turn a 200k baht bike into a 300k baht bike. They really make it not worth it.

Well the English is the required part by Thailand so you are covered but that is a bit strange AAA is giving out IDP with just english and French, I guess most americans use it to drive in Canada which would explain that.

American Automobile Association? In Canada our document is in english with a bunch of pages in chinese, french, spanish etc because the document can be used all over the world and those are the main languages, but Thai is not a very important language so would not be included, they dont custom make the document for you its the same document everyone gets regardless of where they are travelling. In Thailand from what I read the requirement is that your document says in ENGLISH thats its an internaitonal driving licence for the vehicle your driving. But youre saying your main pages are all in french? Thats odd

Ya... my thinking before when I lived in Bangkok was the police are going to extort me anyway so why bother, but this time around I'll register it and see how much of a difference it makes.

Do you really believe registering the bike is necessary to drive it on thai roads?

Wait so as a tourist I cant even just slap down the full amount in cash and buy a motorcycle? You have to own property or certificate of residence and have the proper visa?

Anyone know of banks in Canada that have good debit cards that refund fees?

Ya seems like its just a bad idea, cash it is. For the rest of you jokers, I lived in Thailand for 13 years previously, I know enough Soms dont need to know any more.

Just curious if there is a way to do this, I'm a big fan of monthly payments ???? I'm assuming no but thought Id ask. I am not in Thailand yet but will be there soon so just looking at options.
