Because he's a troll 🧌. Don't feed him 😁.

Because non-tourists want to live in Thailand on tourist visas.

@Wayne ******

Then you probably don't know how taxes work.

@John ********

And he doesn't seem to be a tourist.

@Morris ****

Sorry to disappoint you but this won't change because Russians don't care about any licences at all.

Sure, because nothing screams "international standards" like daily near-misses and chaotic intersections in Thailand 🤦‍♂️. Maybe start by testing local drivers first - many of them wouldn't pass a proper driving test in a country with civilized traffic.

Why don't you just ask them?

Do you feel better and smarter now after giving us that history lesson? I didn't answer because I don't know the exact answer, and honestly, I've never needed to do border runs myself. There are probably others with more experience who can speak to that better. However, what I wrote was a piece of advice that aligns with the purpose of this group and is relevant to the topic, especially considering the current situation at the border. I think it's valuable information. Not every comment related to the topic has to be a direct answer - especially when there's no single correct one or if someone else has already addressed it. That's what discussion groups, forums, and comment sections are for. This was simply information worth mentioning.

I suggest you check what's happening right now on the Cambodian border.

Your security deposit is the least of your problems right now.
