Handicapped parking permit

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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 impressed

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.

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

 

This is interesting.  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).

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
