They're not that stupid, surely...  🙄

It is amazing the amount of long term expats that really are.

They don’t have a clue.

 

I doubt if any Thais would go to England to live and not bother learning English.

Assume make an ASS out of yoU and ME.

They may be an ass, but I will not put government apps on my phone.

My phone is 'app free' and my telephone plan has no internet usage. WIFI is always off.

That must be handy in this day and age.

To you still read from old paper maps when driving?

I'll take bash at it...

 

I was using the DLT app for about three years and never took my physical licence with me.  Then, about six months ago, I could no longer access my driving licence through the app.  I tried to upload a copy of my new licence, but the app would not allow it.

 

It seem to only foreigners who are unable to access the full range of uses from the DLT app, as my Thai girlfriend is easily able to access it on her phone.

 

Anyone can download the app from the Appstore, but you need your phone to be registered in Thailand.

 

(I took a guess that maybe "handy" means handset. 🤷‍♂️)

I haven’t had any problems with the app, works just fine here.

And if drivers don't have "smartphones" or "tablets", what then?

Then you carry your licence in your wallet, pocket, etc.
