What are people's experiences when transitioning from a Work Permit to a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?

literally millions have

I did udon to Krabi, pretty sure theres a very long boring stretch that will square off your rear tyre 🤣. Now i always head north west for the best motorbike thrills

Before I know some Danish guy did that every years when he visit Thailand but now he'd get skin cancer already.

I did it once on a 125 2 stroke yamaha.....hell of a drive but way fun😆 just wing it brother and remember that if you're back breaks massages are cheap in phuket 😄😄😄😄drive safe

My back and butt would be sore for a month.

Driven it many times in my cars....use Google maps to avoid the main roads and you'll need a stopover or find...find on Google maps

Made it there and back on my Nmax. Way back even in a single day. Took about 13 hours with frequent stops to eat, drink, get gas and gibe my butt some time off.

The roads are relatively new and for Thailand they are surprisingly good. I would not dare going faster than 120 though. Still Thai roads.

Scenery can be both beautiful and interesting as well as boring depending on where you are.

Thai drivers are going to do Thai driver stuff. It’s dangerous and you should have experience driving national roads.

If you are used to driving long trips it’s ok and doable. Won’t necessarily ever do it again though, although I sometimes catch myself contemplating it.

Avoid cars and bikes make sure you have eyes in the back of your head o and do not be a numpty and not wear a HELMET

And lived to survive it…..? No

Yes....best month of my life....take it slowly.....take a small detour to Kanchanaburi ( go see Erawan falls 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟)......Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan (Ao Manoa go see Langur ring eyed monkeys at the army base, and visit Khao Chong Krachok (The most outstanding temple in Thailand imho), Chumphon then cut across to Ranong (great hot springs and superb sunsets overlooking Myanmar)....Khao Sok (phenomenally beautiful area with a nature reserve that will blow your mind).....Phuket 😎🎶💯📷🕺

Great trip, but don't do it one go. Break up with one or 2 overnight stops. Take your time 😄

I did it,years ago. Never done again! 🙂

Hi, I did. Will suggest from chumpon to cross to rayong / kao lak. Much more interesting and panoramic route.

Make it an adventure, leave your phone at home. Live a little and discover as you go the natural beauty of Thailand.

Send bike by post office & fly.

Did it in a BMW withThai owner driving hopefully she is not on the roads she drove over the speed limit while playing video game on IPad

Around 50 times.last time was last week

Great ride and lots of possible detours to enjoy along the way. Ignore the people too scared to do something like this you will love it.

Stop over in Ranong for the hot springs

What kind of bike?

Check this group

I’ve done it on a bus. It took 16 hours I bet 20 on a motorcycle!

Between the 71 million people that is the current population and foreigners that visit here yes I'm sure someone has. What a great question 🤡

The main road is incredibly boring and nothing to see at all. just concrete on a mostly 4-lane road. That is fairly dangerous with the thai traffic.

If you have a lot of time then you would need a route that avoids the main roads. This will take you a few days at least.

Brave man on Thai roads good luck

Try just doing it without a nanny.

Adventure! Been everywhere without a mobile or map.

I did the ride from Sattahip, through BKK and down to Rawai and back in February/March.

Great adventure.

When you are coming back up, go via Khao Lak and then use the ferry to go to Kho Kho Khao and head up to the sand spit at the Northern most extreme for the fantastic sunsets…

Pic is of me and my Road King “ Memphis “

Done it on push bike all good

I did it in my Airbus ACH160 Luxury helicopter, a bit different hovering over the car and bike plebs, in the air drinking a bottle of Bollinger and getting head from my private air hostess.....

In July I’m riding from Bangkok to Krabi. Can’t wait!

At this season it can rain heavily around Chumphon and Ranong

It’s an easy ride. After Chumphon, cut across to Ranong and down the coast through Phang Nga and Khao Lak beach. We stayed in Khao Lak a couple of days and really enjoyed it

After prachap khiri khan go coast road some amazing little places around. After chumporn head to Ranong (stay in town head to Os cocktail bar) head down south can either turn left and head to Khoa sok or carry on down to Phang Nga town

Make pit stops in Hua hin, Chumphon and Khao Lak. Pretty smooth ride

88 people a day die on motorbikes .... at the road & 100's more in hospitals just get a VIP coach end enjoy the trip ... ! :(

Make sure you overnight cha am and hua hin and mueang prachuap khiri khan. Just hug the coast down to surat, then krabi and phang nga). Centre of chumphon has no value but the outskirts on the sea side is ok. Its a long way, take your time, plenty of stops

Ive done it, its all on my youtube. Took the east coast from bangkok and back on the west coast.

My girlfriend of seven years and I made this trip three years ago on two separate motorcycles. Five hours in to our trip it started raining very heavily and unfortunately my girlfriend lost control of her bike and skidded under a huge lorry her head was literally smashed to pulp. Her entire body was dragged several miles before the lorry driver realised what had happened. Her body was literally like jelly. Every bone smashed. Every bit of flesh torn to ribbons. We had planned our trip meticulously but because of her accident I had to pay for her half of everything including hotel bills and needless to say I had to pay the full amount for her bike which was literally broken beyond description. all in all I lost around £1200 . Despite the accident I had a great time and met another girl just a week after I arrived in Phuket.

Lots of negative comments here from people I can only assume are not big bike riders so find the big highways a bit scary, they just lack confidence when they are away from their ladyboys in Pattaya 🤣🤣

The road is totally fine and can be a lot of fun, done it many times. Head out west to the border at Chumpon and follow it down to Phuket, some amazing bike roads down that way, enjoy 😉

Lots of bad drivers road blocks and monsoon season. Also have a Thai dl or an IDP @captive....take the plane

Must avoid bad drivers.

Just get a flight ffs

Do it

From Pranburi and Ban Krut until Chumpon, the coastal routes are fantastic. Look for the "Scenic Route" which lets you pass by the "Wat Kaeo Prasert". . . . . . . From there you get an incredible view along the bay. . . . Before Chumpon, you must get off the Phetkasem and take the route across the mountains to Ranong

Great question

And my Ash hurt
