First time entering Thailand on a DTV. Can I use the Laos–Thailand border crossing for entry? Will there be any issues getting the 6 month stamp?

Has anyone successfully managed to get a Thai driving licence whilst on a DTV? And if so, could they tell me how (DM me if preferred). Not looking for feedback on the ins and outs or pros and cons, just how to get it done, ideally via an agent to take some of the hassle out of it. Cost isn’t an issue, time is.

Hi, a couple questions regarding getting a Thai DL:

Do I need to have an IDP in addition to my Canadian license?

Is there an extra step to add a motorbike designation?

Thanks

I know the freezing of funds for visa related bank balance certificate at Bangkok bank has been done to death, but I was in my local Kabinburi branch and decided to see what they said, they told me pretty much what's already been shared, however, they then said it did not apply to my account because its older than 4 years. It will be probably different when I apply for it.

I'm looking for recommendations for Muay Thai gyms in Chiang Mai that offer BEGINNER classes for the over 50 crowd, I mean BEGINNERS beginner. That also do DTVs.

I would attend every class, but I'm a slightly older person who hasn't done any workouts in probably close to 3 years.

I will being going to Chiang Mai on a visa exempt for 60 days to check out places for muay thai and language school and then will hopefully apply from Hanoi.

When applying for DTV it asks for proof of current residence. If I’m in the U.S. could I just scan a photo of my drivers license with my address on it?
