Driving a Saleng.

Can anyone advise me whether a foreigner obtaining a regular Thai motorcycle driving licence qualifies the individual to drive a saleng?

Reason I ask is that I know in Thailand it’s the vehicle, rather than the driver, which is insured.

Consequently, I know I can drive a borrowed car with a Thai driving licence (or IDP for the first three months) and I can drive a borrowed motorcycle with a Thai motorcycle licence.

I’m told a foreigner cannot drive a Songthaew (Baht-Bus) and am wondering if the same applies to a saleng (as well as a tuk-tuk).

I have access to cars, motorcycles and a saleng owned by the Thai extended family I am staying with.

Any experienced advice would be gratefully received.

I have been offered the use of GF's brother in laws spare car next time I'm in the country, not sure if I should take them up on the offer because of the insurance implications, I'm told that the car is insured but what happens if I have an accident (I'm aware that it will be my fault) ? So any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone know the process on how to change the address in my car blue book? I assume Department of transportation in my province but are there forms, documents required.. payments?

In the past I have received a speeding ticket in the mail and I did pay it at the post office. However, I have moved and I did update Immigration of my new address but not sure if they are linked to department of transportation.
