om3n1rpak Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) So I always take my drivers license when I run, in case something happens, so I have ID on me. Well my running backpack broke and I had to return it to Decathlon, with the DL in it as well, obviously. Decathlon conveniently DESTROYS all returned items the same day u return them (WHY????) So I need to get a new DL. I am in Chiang Mai, if that makes a difference. most google results are many years old, and all have somewhat conflicting info. Things that I have read are needed. Police report (within 7 days of application) New Medical cert. New cert. of residency (I really hope not. they take a 500 baht bribe at immigration for it here, otherwise it takes 6 weeks) Anyone know exactly what I will need? Help appreciated.

Kwasaki Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Report to police it got destroyed. Go to your local DLT with police report and passport and a copy of your DL and see if they will give you new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right it is their stupid policy causing problems, not you failing to clean out the pack before returning it. It is a pain in the <deleted> all these people around blowing it.

canthai55 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) So it is Decathlons fault that the OP did not remove contents from the pack before returning it ? Makes sense to me !!! 555 Edited March 31, 2021 by canthai55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Ignoring the completely irrelevant sidetracking arguments surrounding blame, OP, you may not need a police report to replace a Driving license. My wife simply replaced her’s without a police report. Just rock up at DLT and ask for a new one, or call ahead and ask directly.

Last time I needed a replacement (Bangkok), a couple of years ago, I went to the police station to get a report and they told me it was no longer required and indeed, the DLT didn't ask for one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
