Why won't hotels in Thailand match online prices when asked directly?

Mike *********

Actually been advised to leave the desk before when I went to book a room (walk in) and book it online with a certain company, then they can give me cheaper price with breakfast Inc + free upgrade.

Why do some long-term expats in Thailand not learn the Thai language?

Mike *********

Maybe like myself (a little older) and it gets harder to do the tonal words, also here in issan it's a different language that's spoken very fast and difficult to get even the basic words down even when listening hard,

What are the steps to obtain a Thai driving license with a Washington State license and how to handle translation issues?

Mike *********

I'm English, but all I did was get a proof of residence at the local immigration office, then go to test centre, sit through a 10min video, have colour eye test and reaction tests, all in all about 1hr from entering to having both bike and car licenses, same as in England.

Can you ride a 125cc motorcycle in Thailand with a full UK driving license and an international driving permit?

Mike *********

Or if you did same as me and forgot to get IDP you can get one online and print it off, it's only a translation of your official license that is required.

Mike *********

I would imagine your current insurance company would get in touch just before expiration and offer you an improved deal.

@Aguilar ****

certified copy of passport from your embassy, along with certified copy of divorce (if required) then they need to be translated into thai, they in turn have to be taken to ministry of internal affairs for ratification and stamped. Then you personally should be all good to go 👍

What steps should I take to obtain a marriage visa in Thailand after arriving on a 60-day visa?

Mike *********

@John *****

managed to get all mine done in 1 day in Bangkok, embassy then translation local to embassy, after that you need to go to foreign affairs to get translation stamped officially, I was going to make appointment at Bangkok again but a friend said their was foreign affairs dept near me, so look around (google) it saved me another 8hr drive 🤣
