The license expires on you birthday. When you get a new one it is valid for 5 years from your next birthday. If you renew a few days your birthday you'll only get 5 years but renewing a few days after you will get almost 6 years. And you must be on a permission of stay that is 90 days or longer such as a Non-O, B, ED Visa or Extension of stay for marriage or retirement. If on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry you will only be able to get a 2 year provisional license. Even if you have already had, or have, a 5 year license. When you get a new license the issue date will not be the date you got the new one. The issue date will be the date of your FIRST license. My license expires in 2027 and the issue date is 2005.

My advice is to: first write your speech and get someone translate it to Thai. I would suggest short "bullet" statements rather than long flowery phrases that might be difficult to remember. Memorize it and repeat it while getting feedback on pronunciation from a Thai. Repeat this at least 100 times focusing on getting the pronunciation correct. If you need to read it you can transliterate it using spelling that YOU understand how to pronounce. Don't expect anyone to understand you.

No problem for me either. I just connected using Edge and then again using Firefox.

The Helicopter Bar says on their Facebook and Instagram pages that they are an "Independent" bar. The bar posted about the incident on their Facebook page earlier today.

Maybe they did find one and now they are going to 7/11 to buy a toastie.

Or maybe they are looking for a pharmacy to guy bandages and Motrin.

Can't re-posted videos here but anybody commenting should definitely watch the videos. A merged video of inside the bar and outside also is on Reddit. Google "Soi 6 fight" and look for result "Full merged video of the Soi 6 incident"

Not true. For example US Passport Photo - 51mmx51mm UK Passport Photo - 35mmx45mm Other differences are that no eyeglasses allowed in US Photo but are ok in UK photo.

Now they wait until your next extension and check it then.

There is a driving school on the soi that goes from Soi Photisan to BPH

Take a look at this website. It explains about Permanent Residency Thai Permanent Residency

The current law is still the one dated 1979 but there have been multiple changes to the since then. I've attached the English translation that is found on the Thai Council Of State website. I put the link in also but it didn't work correctly afterwards. I'll try again. Vehicle Act Note the definition of "motorcycle" “Motorcycle” means a vehicle driven by motor or electric power with not more than two wheels, or not more than an additional wheel in a sidecar, and shall include a bicycle equipped with motor driven devices; Vehicle_Act_BE_2522_(1979).pdf

It wouldn't be difficult. The further from the water you are the cheaper it is for renting or buying. I own a home close to the water and I maintain it, in addition to my Thai condo, for less than 5k USD per month. I could also live where I grew up easily on that amount. I came from a mid-size town in Missouri with a 2020 population of 20,000. Until retirement most people have to live where they can find employment. If that is not a consideration then you have many more options. The places with the high paying jobs also have higher living expenses.

A loan shark wouldn't accept something like a blue book that has no monetary value as Collateral. When dealing with a loan shark your life is the Collateral.

I believe the survey asked women if they looked at Jeremy like he was a big hunk of beefsteak. Quite a few said "Yes". It didn't mention that they were all vegans.

They don't. All those treaties are multilateral. A bilateral treaty involves TWO countries. ASEAN Treaty (10 countries), 1949 Geneva Treaty (102 Countries), 1968 Vienna Treaty (89 Countries) The Double Tax Agreement (DTA) Thailand has with the UK is an example of a bilateral agreement. A poorly worded translation of the law does not change the meaning of the word bilateral. "A bilateral treaty is a treaty strictly between two state entities. It is an agreement made by negotiations between two parties"

And stop using the term bilateral if you don't know what it means.

Have you ever looked at a Thai Motorcycle Licence. It is called a "Motorcycle Driving Licence" In the US a licence good for motorcycles is also called a Driver Licence (spelled License in the US) but must have the motorcycle endorsement.

Yes. That is exactly what the lady at the Banglamung (Pattaya) DLT Office said when I took my friend there with his long expired license. There were special considerations for Covid but no idea if those would still apply.

Happened to a friend of mine in Pattaya also. He had an expired Thai license (over three years) and tried to get a new one using his US license and IDP. He made the mistake of showing his expired Thai license and the lady explained that once you have been issued a Thai license you cannot get another one based on a foreign license a second time. He came back about 3-4 years later to retire here and tried it again but without mentioning that he had had a Thai license in the past and no problem getting the Thai license.

I have this problem sometimes, although not with Chrome since I don't use it. I eventually found a setting that kept getting changed by some rogue app. Check the Sound Mixer settings and see if Chrome is muted.

I do not vouch for the accuracy of this info but this is a list of requirements by state. I'd take it with a grain of salt IS IDP Required in USA?

No. FBAR is still required if 10K or more.
