Does having a Thai motorcycle license allow me to drive in Thailand if my travel insurance covers me based on my UK license?
Carsten ************
A Thai diverse licence doesn't allow you to drive in UK, means you won't be covered by your insurance driving a bike in Thailand. Seems to be a typo or a sh*t company.

@Graham *****
 correct, and in that case the money is always put into account within Thailand and it doesn't need to be marked FTT. At least my deposits never came from abroad.

@Steve ******
 Sorry, since the "initial Visa" is usually applied for in your home country, i can't really believe that. In my understanding ONLY the income method needs to be marked FTT in your bank book.

@Chris *****
 1st year you need the 800k. If you have all the 12 month an income from abroad into your Thai bank account of minimum 65k THB, you can use that from 2nd year onwards.
