Can a UK motorbike IDP be used for a fresh 90 days if doing an out-in visa run after being in Thailand for 90 days previous to that ?

 

I thought that the IDP was good for 90 days before you had to get a license or license update...am not sure

situation is if you came back in from a border run and use it again as its valid for 2 years I believe.

 

Would that be 90 days in a calendar year  only allowes or good on re-entry again ?

Seems residency certs are hard to come by now on tourista visas in Chiang Mai to renew licenses and maybe all over now to re-new a Thai license ?

I have no plans to go on non-O visa routes in coming year - which would help get license re-newed.

 

I just don't want to be stuck with no medical cover issued from outside Thailand.

 

Am looking at it from both medical cover and traffic stop side of things.

As most of us know, you can use the IDP for the entire term of it's validity, almost no police will ever cross-check with your date of entry etc. on your passport.

 

But I think the OP is more concerned about the Medical Insurance he has from abroad, will it be void on an IDP used for over 90 days from entry into Thailand, or does he need a border bounce to re-validate his IDP.

 

Anybody with any information on this interesting question?

My most recent UK IDP for Thailand ( 1968 ) is valid for 3 years. I believe it's valid as long as your D.L. is valid. Nothing on it about re x days.

 

Where does the 90 days come in?

 

There maybe country stipulations that say something along the lines that after 12 months LIVING in country x you must get a permanent D.L., but as a tourist it should cover 3 years

There is no 90 day limit, you are good to go as long as your IDP is valid.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      I appreciate you having the honesty to follow your rationale all the way (most people don't) and admit that ultimately, what prevents you from going there is that you are not prepared to accept the scale of such a deception. I totally get it as I was in that position myself for a long time. The Overton window is shifting quickly on this issue, which has moved away from the fringes, from Elon Musks's troll comments on space footage "looking like fake CGI but definitely real" to Candace Owens claiming she has "broken away from the cult of science" and now totally open to alternative theories regarding the shape of the Earth. (I'm guessing I'm going to get at least 5 laughing emojis for this one.)

      Abortion

      No. This is not right. It IS a right. And, in the USA, for example....the stigma is incredible. Just trying to set up a procedure is still very difficult, at clinics. The stigma and the hurdles must go. If you want to know what it should be like: Please just look to Taiwan. No problems there. Honestly.

      Huberman is very POPular, these days. Still, he is NUTZO, and quite an idiot. Sometimes, no matter what..... Even at great universities.... We can still find idiots. Stanford needs to get rid of this guy if Stanford wishes to protect its integrity. Charlatans are probably a dime-a-dozen at major unis. Just listen to Does ANYBODY take these two seriously???? No way...Jose....!!!! BIRDS OF A FEATHER....with plenty of supplements for all....555555 Even Vitamin-C Pauling was never such a blatant supplement-advocate as these two.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      The "blue marble" is an invention and NASA has in fact never taken a picture of the entire planet Earth. Each one of the pictures released over the years is unequivocally altered and the inconsistencies are undeniable: But don't take my word for it, here is NASA data visualizer and designer Robert Simmon, creator of the "blue marble": In the existing cloud map some people have noticed a few repeating features that appear photoshopped. They are. There are gaps between orbits near the equator, and there’s no way to fill them with real data. Compositing separate images into a convincing whole is (of course) easier said than done. Even with control of each layer in my image processing software (Photoshop) it took hours of tweaking and re-tweaking transparency, layer masks, hue, saturation, gaussian blur, and curves to get an image that looked like the picture I had in my head. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/2011/10/06/crafting-the-blue-marble/ The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble. https://www.nasa.gov/people-of-nasa/robert-simmon-aka-mr-blue-marble/

      Abortion

      Police has nothing to do with it. Abortion has been legal in Thailand for several years. No need for "backroom procedures" nor for improper procedures. Medical abortion (taking tablets) and d&c (dilatation and curettage) are both done here. Abortion is done by doctors, in clinics or hospitals, staff is very caring. The places I named are the most obvious choices, there are others. But many doctors or hospitals won't do it, that's their personal choice. The posts above are misleading. And as I said before, it's walk-in service. No need to call first, just don't come after 3pm. The earlier, the better.

      Gravity is among the weakest of the forces known to Nature. Even weaker than.... The weakling on the beach. Still, the only reason that there is an Earth is due to gravity. The conglomeration of particles only happens due to the force of gravity. Also, during the mating season, the gravitational force between males and females causes procreation. Otherwise, neither you nor I would even be here.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      I don’t give much credence to Newton’s theory of gravity. Density is, I believe, the most probable theory (to the smart*sses: yes,if I jump off a building I will crash to the ground, because my body is denser than the surrounding air). The gravity idea, just as the Earth curvature idea, is riddled with contradictions and absurdities. Newton himself, according to David Wardlaw Scott, confessed that the explanation of the moon's action on the tides did not fit well with his theory of gravitation, which asserts that the larger object attracts the smaller (but the mass of the Moon is only one-eighth of that of the Earth). Why are lakes not affected by tides? Gravity is strong enough to hold the oceans to a spinning ball, yet weak enough that birds can still fly?
