Remember all rentals are motorcycles !
You need a international or Thai MOTORCYCLE drivers license.
Not the correct license = no insurance cover accidents.

I'm well aware of the requirements for driving in Thailand. That's not the issue I'm having.

@Alan *******
so what is the nature of your problem?Alan ********

none of the places I've called are willing to rent by the month. Daily rates makes it prohibit-ably expensive. It just seems strange. But I suppose, if you're here for 6 months or more, you might as well just buy oneActivity
