Tropicalevo Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Send a pm to Samuibruno http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/user/122291-samuibruno/ I know that he went along to the marine police people and looked into all of this. He was looking to get a licence as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 There are no laws on Samui, so anything goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketcher Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 There are no laws on Samui, so anything goes.Until it goes wrong then all of a sudden there are laws and it's about to go very wrong. If you are going to drive a boat you should get a license (same as car or bike) at least the op is trying to do the right thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadgib Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) not at all ive had boat licence for many years you will need one to get your vessel insured however doubt you could use this licence in any other country I've held one from home for decades but I have yet to see a ferang at the helm of the sort of boats that schuttle tourists around. Divers/'moonies' etc. This is what I meant by Thai only although I could be wrong. Edited December 22, 2014 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means I can not drive tourists around. And as non Thai I can not get a commercial license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
