By the way, I have ridden several times on the trike. A trike that doesn’t look anything like your picture. Shuttle service. And the driver will tell you were to sit so the trike is balanced. It’s much more dangerous than a motorbike

That’s him. He is rather down to earth in my opinion. I do not watch regularly but he had one video about the trike.

There is one Thai blogger who drives one. You could ask him. I do not remember his name of YouTube channel.

He does recommend practicing driving in low traffic areas and at low speed until you see how to handle it

When do I need to file a TM30 with a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand?

Can I extend my 60-day Non-Immigrant O eVisa and is it worth the $80?

David **********

Your challenge will be to comply with all the Non-O requirements to get a 12 months extension. A Non-O is usually approved for 90 days.

What I have found is you have to play the cards your dealt. The entire process, to me, appears to be rather subjective.

VISA”s to me are “Like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get”.
