Can a foreigner drive a Saleng in Thailand with a motorcycle license?

Steve **********

have I ever been to Thailand? Yeah. Started in 1997. Living here since 2019. Issan, BKK and now Pattaya.

What a ridiculous question.

Having one of those in a city is silly. In a farm. Ok. But I still will keep using my truck with AC.

Steve **********

I cannot imagine why any foreigner would be in one of these death traps.

It provides no advantage over a car. You’ll still be stuck in traffic, cannot maneuver around anything and now you get the bonus of eating all the diesel smog and sweating your balls off.

Just get a car.

Steve **********

I have an AIS eSIM and TMobile eSIM. It’s very easy to do and manipulate when traveling (meaning making the appropriate sim the primary)

Can U.S. pension, social security, and 401K monthly payments count as passive income for the Thailand LTR visa?

Steve **********

A close friend just finished his and his situation is similar.

He had to show 24 months bank statements documenting the deposits for the entire period. So yes, as long as you can show the payment history.

How can I withdraw a large amount of money to pay for my visa in Thailand?

Steve **********

US Banks can flag it. It happened to me. I took out 25,000 and immediately tried to do it again and they shut off the card as a fraud alert.
