there’s no test really, just watch a video, do a depth perception test and call out the traffic light colours and they switch the lamps on. Worst part is just sitting around waiting. There’s a backlog of Thais renewing their licences since Covid so I had to go down to Rayong to renew mine last month.

Pretty easy but time consuming. At least half a day sitting in a driver licensing centre watching a video, filling in forms and generally sitting round waiting. Get an agent and they do all the paperwork etc, some can even go on your behalf apparently but I have never used that service.

“Pfizer knew and loved about all the side effects”? What are you gibbering on about?? Let me guess you had eyes on a top secret internal memo from Pfizer and only you know the real truth? Make sure the aluminium foil is wrapped good and tight round your head so the satellites can’t listen to what you are thinking.

plenty of stupid people the world over, admittedly ‘merica seems to have so many they export them in droves. Making sweeping racist statements about the people in whose country you are residing is pretty much guarantee that the individual needs a horoscope reading.
