January 7, 20188 yr Anyone know how to get Permit.Have valid Permit from Texas if that make any difference. Lefty
January 7, 20188 yr i live in N/E province tried for one, reply Thai only having said that if for parking no body takes any notice people just park any place they want to
January 12, 20188 yr Having to use a wheelchair I get my driver to park in the disabled bays at Makro or Big C. This catches the attention of parking attendants, but as soon as they see my chair they smile and wave me on.
January 12, 20188 yr If you require a disabled badge for parking go to the drivers license office, most offices have disabled badges for cars.
January 12, 20188 yr You are most likely to find handicapped parking lots occupied by handicapped bird-brains
January 12, 20188 yr I asked the same question some time ago. It seem’s the best possible route is to go to your local driving license center, I didn’t follow it through as it’s possible they would require your license back, as I often use mine as ID it didn’t seem worth it. I always park in disabled spaces without any issues. Anyone with eyesight can see I have problems walking.
January 12, 20188 yr My friend in the Land Transportation Department advised me against applying, as it involves having to get a letter from a specialist, who is jus5 as likely to pull your license as give you the letter. I picked up a disabled sticker at Thai Watsadu for ฿50 and affixed it under my rear-view mirror. It’s accepted by police at the airport and all the parking attendants.
January 12, 20188 yr Shouldn't be too difficult to get one here; millions already have them! Although, they don't exactly park cars, more like abandon them.
January 13, 20188 yr Not sure for physically handicapped but for mentally handicapped it is available at your local DVLC and called "Driving License". It entitles you to park anywhere you like.
February 2, 20188 yr They do exist . I took my wife’s uncle who is disabled to the transport office to pick his badge up Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
February 3, 20188 yr Thankyou for your reply. Just a couple of questions when you have the time. Did your wife’s uncle have to provide anything, medical letter from hospital or certificate. Has he retained his driving license or was it required to be returned. You say to collect his badge, do you have to order it or are they readily available or just under consideration while the cogs are in motion. Lastly how long did this take from applying to collecting, and how much did it cost.

Lastly how long did this take from applying to collecting, and how much did it cost.He saw a dr from the transport dept who decided he was disabled plus he brought proof from the hospital showing that he had a stroke. I’m not sure about the driving licence as he has never driven apart from illegally with a motorcycle. He couldn’t drive now though.It took about 4 weeks from start to finish. Once the badge was ready the process of pick up was very smooth. Even me as a farang was impressedSent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
February 12, 20188 yr I have used one downloaded, works well for all carparks, and police as well if using no seat belt, i also gave a friend one who has serious medical problems and works good for him
February 12, 20188 yr Moo71, thanks for the reply, good idea, I did have a colour printer a few years ago but guess what they got borrowed by other family members and never seen it since. Today I was going out to get a new set of photographs for my frequent trips to Lao and was going to drop into the driving center but my sister in law has not shown up. Will suggest your way to her but pretty sure the printer is long gone or beyond repair.

Do you remember where you downloaded it from? It's obvious that I'm disabled when I alight the vehicle, but whilst sitting in it as a passenger nobody would know. Having said that we always park in disabled spaces and no-one bats an eyelid (I don't drive - I'm always in someone else's car or pick-up). Edited February 13, 20188 yr by Horatio Poke

No, try google/bing etc Also add numbers from tax disc at side, gives authenticity Its not forging as in any case a true one does not exist here, just a picture put on the windscreen Edited February 13, 20188 yr by Moo71 added a bit

February 14, 20188 yr Moo71, just back from town, got new photographs passport size and a brand new handicapped parking sticker (laminated) all from the same photographic shop. Thanks for your idea. Saved a trip and grief at the driving center.
