@Richard ******

that may be true down south but not in Chiang Mai.

Annual? There's someone always burning something. If you mean the main burning season, economics and a fetish for hed thob mushrooms.

@Reiner ********

if the license is in English, no translation required.

@Hettie ******

I'd say no but it varies between provinces and even DLT offices. I've never had to but others say they had to.

@Travis ******

you do need the medical in CM, you even need it for the renewal.

@Daniel *****

you only need a translation for licenses that are not in English.

@Phill *****

that's coming into Chiang Mai from Bangkok. I havent seen any specifically about enterting Bangkok

@Sarah *******

putting aside that the air is currently fine in CM, apologies, I misread what you said. The inverse is true. If you're living in Phuket, not CM, you should get the car and bikes registered there. You should have plates reflecting where you live.

If you don't mind me asking - why Phuket? I can understand why you'd hate March in CM but it's not a place I'd move to down south given a choice. Everything is twice as expensive and the locals aren't nearly as nice.
