richard_smith237 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Nothing... a motorcycle licence is a motorcycle licence in Thailand. Thats it... there is nothing size (cc) or HP related... just one licence for all motorcycles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Do you have big bike license from home country? If you do not have big bike license, it can be vise to get the license in your country, and learn to drive a big bike from experienced teachers. All the basics with the safety involved. Well worth the money. Anyway, it is up to you,, since here you still get a big bike license without any basics at all. Just a simple balance test almost and off you go on your own.

Jack james Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 From what I have read, you need a big bike license over a certain cc. I have a bike license for Thailand now. Has anyone upgraded theirs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FriendlyFarang Posted March 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2022 By law we are required to have a big bike license if riding a bike 400cc+. But the DLT isn't issuing those licenses, so never mind... If somebody is feeling bored they could file a police report against the head of the DLT for failing to do his duties. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I have a 40+ year old lifetime "Jakayan Yon" (motor bicycle) license. Would I be OK with a big bike if I add pedals to it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Was at the DLT in Phuket recently and inquired about the big bike license. They just said it doesn't exist and it's the same as the regular bike license. So more than 2 years after the law passing nothing has happened. Doesn't seem like anything will happen any time soon either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be all done and dusted in another 5 years since it's on the expedited track! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
