@oldcpu that was an interesting adventure, thanks for sharing, and yes it is Thailand...! I read with interest as I also enquired about getting a pink ID, but it was so complicated I gave up - also need minimum 6 month valid visa for that...! I also wanted to get international driving permit to ride abroad, so I was waiting for you to say can not get one when licence expire less than a year, as usually those permits are valid for a year, so do you know if your permit will only be valid till Jan 2027...? One good thing would be when you renew your licence it will be 5 years from Jan 2027, and not Oct 2026, I guess that's nice of them... 😉 My current headache is changing address on both licences and the green book, insurance etc. , so far not bothered... (all need a lot of paperwork). Sometimes I think we should give in to the big brother society with a chip inserted up the neverland, so they know who we are and where we go and what we do at all times..., maybe less hassle...!? 🫣🤔
