An IDP is simply a translation of your government issued license.

You CAN take a motorbike course in Thailand that will enable you to get a motorbike license, but if you're in the US still it would be better to get it there.

It's a retirement visa, don't be pedantic.

Result times depend on how busy the lab is. Now there's not a lot of people being tested (especially in the west were most are vaccinated). Should have same day results Most places.

Yeah, government insurance would be Medicare.

I think they took a lot of the government sites down due to the data breach.

@Mic****

To be fair, I think road deaths decreased a lot in 2020.

Get your test done 24 hours before departure, then you have nothing to worry about.

Hasn't been any announcements but I'd suspect it would go back down to 30 days once quarantine is dropped.

You can travel with any amount of money....

OA visa can only be obtained in your home country, not in country. For the initial OA, the money can be from a bank in your country, doesn't need to be a Thai bank.

A Non-O based on retirement (90 day visa) needs to be in a Thai bank. It's really not hard to open a bank account, you just need to use a bank that works with forigners often. Money shouldn't take more than 3-4 days to transfer.
