Hi,

 

I'm GoGet, a very nice and polite guy.

 

Can I use a residence certificate from Chiang Mai to make a driving license in another province?

 

Please reply quickly if possible. It is an emergency.

I don't see why not as one can go to any DLT office in the country to apply for a license. I used a cert from Nonthaburi to get my license at Chatuchak in Bangkok

Your residence cert will determine the number plate province of your motorcycle.

 

I guess it's alright if it is in the same province but not in a different province.

I have a residence certificate in Chiang Mai. But I was thinking about both buying the motorbike in Lom Sak and making the driving license there.

 

Are you saying this is not a good idea or perhaps not even possible?

It will depend on the DLT office you go to.

Go there and find out for yourself is the only way.

A number has nothing to do with resident address.

I don't think it's possible because your driving license and motorbike have the province of your residency printed on it. If not, why do they need your residency cert in the first place?

 

I am guessing you are going there because the  driving tests are easier there than in Chiang Mai?

 

However, other posters here said it's possible but you should ask first.

      LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency

      I've just been recently approved for LTR visa, and i can confirm they asked for the health certificate just a few days after my initial application. I was surprised, as i thought i would have to buy the insurance only after being endorsed. Not wanting to compromise my application i bought one online straight away (about 400€), hoping that it won't be for nothing… Maybe the screener saw that the documents i had already sent would make me easily eligible, and asking the insurance that soon would make things faster (took 3 weeks) ? Who knows.

      Woman Arrested for Running Teen Trafficking Ring Behind Udon Thani Karaoke Bar

      Picture courtesy of Khaosod A 46-year-old woman was apprehended for using a karaoke bar in Udon Thani as a facade for trafficking teenagers. Sirijanya was arrested after allegedly recruiting three 16-year-old girls into prostitution, pocketing a commission of 300 baht each time. Acting on the orders of Police Major General Songklot Gerkkritaya, a task force led by Police Colonel Sarawut Chantawong and Police Lieutenant Colonel Saksit Nilmith detained Sirijanya. The arrest unfolded at the karaoke venue in Ban Dung subdistrict, Udon Thani province, where unlawful activities had been taking place. Initial investigations revealed the troubling involvement of minors at the karaoke bar. Undercover operations were set up, revealing the exploitation. Agents discovered the girls offering services for 1,500 baht each, with transactions facilitated by Sirijanya. The sting operation advanced to a nearby resort, where they apprehended the girls after receiving payment. At that moment, officers moved in, seizing Sirijanya along with 4,300 baht in cash, which confirmed her role in the illegal scheme. During questioning, Sirijanya admitted to owning the establishment and orchestrating the prostitution of minors. She confessed to keeping 300 baht from each fee of 1,500 baht, distributing the rest to the girls as payment. The young victims, named only as A, B, and C, were taken into care by appropriate agencies, ensuring their safety and welfare after the ordeal. In a related incident, authorities recently cracked down on a massage parlour in Mueang district, Lop Buri, for similar illegal activities. Disguised as customers, police officers investigated and uncovered prostitution services offered alongside massages. Police Major General Songkrod Krikkritaya ordered this raid, leading to the arrest of 30-year-old Wilaiwan. She faces charges for soliciting prostitution and operating a brothel, underlining an ongoing fight against human trafficking and exploitation in the region. This series of arrests indicates a significant effort by law enforcement to clamp down on human trafficking networks and ensure the protection of minors across the country.

      Brazilian Couple Arrested at Samui Airport with 20 Million Baht Worth of Cocaine in Luggage

      Picture courtesy of Daily News A Brazilian couple has been arrested at Samui International Airport after authorities discovered nearly 7 kilograms of cocaine concealed in their luggage. The seized narcotics have an estimated street value of over 20 million baht. The suspects, identified as Mr. Diego Dos Santos Silva 35 and Ms. Fernanda Grebriel Lorenço De Andre 25, were apprehended by a joint task force comprising Customs officers, Bo Phut Police, immigration officials from Surat Thani (Samui) and airport security personnel. Officers found 6.63 kilograms of cocaine hidden among clothing and personal items in their suitcase. The pair have been charged with importing a Category 2 narcotic (cocaine) and were taken to Bo Phut Police Station for further legal proceedings. During initial questioning, the couple stated it was their first time in Thailand. They had flown from Brazil, transited in Qatar and arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport around 09:00 before continuing on to Samui, landing at 10:30 the same day. They claimed they had been offered a free holiday to Koh Samui, including flights, accommodation, food and excursions, by a fellow Brazilian man, in exchange for bringing a suitcase into Thailand. According to the suspects, they were told someone would collect the bag upon their arrival, and they would receive 35,000 Brazilian reais (approximately 200,000 baht) as payment. Authorities noted that the suspects were uncooperative during questioning and struggled to communicate in English. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts underway to identify other members of the drug trafficking network and bring them to justice. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-07-21
