Do I need a Thai driving or motorcycle license to buy a moped in Bangkok?

Steve *******

If you hold a full motorcycle licence and International Driving Permit this should initially cover you. After 90 days in country you need to convert that into a Thai Licence at the Land Transport Office. If you don't hold a motorcycle licence I think you can go and complete the test and get a Thai licence

What is the process for renewing a driver’s license in Bangkok and how long are the appointment wait times?

@Giuseppe *********

yes I live in Udon and know AEK. That's where I went to get my medical certificate. I didn't realise there was an office there to also get a licence. I don't if it makes any difference but this was my first Thai licence and converting from UK licence.

Is Apple Pay commonly used in Chiang Mai and Phuket?

Steve *******

@Oliver ******************

I have an account with Bangkok Bank. Just not that well up with this modern technology. May I need to speak to them and try to get sorted. Maybe easier than keep going to ATM and carrying lots of cash.

Steve *******

From what I've seen the common way to make payments is from your thai bank account with a qr code. Don't know if foreigners are allowed to do this or not.

What is the best way to reach Bangkok's International Airport from Nongkhai by train?

Steve *******

If it's Don Muang the train stops outside the airport. If its Savarnabhumi then probably best to get into town and use the Metro or BTS.

Is a quoted fee of 30,000 baht for a retirement visa processing fair?

Steve *******

If you have the 800,000 just do it yourself at a cost of 1900 baht. I can understand using an agent if you don't want to keep the large sum tied up. But otherwise like I say just do it yourself.

How about a tour of Isan and follow the Mekong for a while. Beautiful part of the country and probably quite different to the rest of Thailand.
