thanks

@Sal ****

I’m actually hopefully coming in April or thereabouts. I’m coming as soon as my house sells.

I did just find a place where I can take the endorsement class that is not on a Harley. In fact, within reason, I can request the size of bike, even a scooter (although I think that’s a bad idea). I just need to travel a bit. Now, I need to figure out what size to use.

@Otto ********

I think you misunderstood the point of my comment. I have no interest whatsoever in a Harley.

@Zed *******

Thank you very much. I've been planning to take a motorcycle course here before moving to Thailand, just because it's the prudent thing before getting on a motor bike. I'm just concerned because the courses (and thus the test) are on Harleys. Thank you for your help.

@Otto ********

maybe you can answer the question I posed to Steve. Do you need to have a motorcycle license from your home country to get a license for riding a motor bike in Thailand or is a general driver’s license sufficient?

@Steve *********

so, you can’t answer with your experience after being a prick going back and forth with non-answers? What, you just like wasting people’s time nit-picking? “Google” only says one needs a license. It’s ok. You’re not the only person on this group, but you seemed to like to offer your “expertise”. I guess not. I guess you’re one of those. Maybe someone else can answer the question.

@Steve *********

sigh. One more attempt to clarify…must the license from the home country include a motor bike (or as the licensing is here, “motorcycle”) specification on it? In the U.S., to drive a motorcycle, one needs a motorcycle license. In order to get a license to drive a motor bike in Thailand, without taking a test, does one need THAT license from one’s home country?

@Steve *********

I’m asking if you need a motorcycle license from one’s national of origin to get a Thai license to drive a motor bike (happy now?).

@Steve *********

do you need a motorcycle license to have a license for a scooter?

One problem with using third parties (and I know that generally agents are a better option...I'm not criticizing your choice AT ALL...it's actually one of the reasons I hate health insurance as a concept in the first place, lol) is that you never know where or why the breakdown is. I'd be careful to blame the company without actually know what is happening. You don't have a view directly into what is happening.
