Hi Dan,

I’m from Australia and now living in Thailand (Khon Kaen).

Google is your friend.

Ask any question and sift through the answers.

Then you can corroborate with people here.

Most of the expats here are great but as in any population there are different views 😉🥴!

Choose your friends wisely!

Best of luck with your future.

👍😎

@Dhyana *****

, yes, longer term.

@Ann ***********

Just read how to register and do so.

It helps to screen dump so you have record for next time.

@Andy ********

I print everything from my pc each time and just repeat it next time.

Thai Government loves strick behaviour to process.

I’m surprised about their online and swiftness!

@Ann ***********

yes, give me a moment and I’ll send.

Basically you register and then it’s easy online.

I’m enjoying my time in Thailand.

I’m a self funded retiree and don’t have those employment pressures you spoke of.

I enjoy my interactions with Thai people and certainly I’ve had nothing but courtesy and respect from them.

I’m happy living here.

We were back in Australia last month and whilst I love my home country it is micro managed. Everything.

Food is an individual’s choice.

Unusual for Thais to comment about a stranger’s behaviour - usually “it’s not their business”. You can pass through a village and no one (except the kids🥰) will notice you.

If you are being noticed I expect it’s because of behaviour.

Keep safe

👍😁😎

@Richard ********

“very confusing” is a polite description of the Thai to English translation 🤣!

I’d managed to find a version of these questions online👍.

I didn’t have a home motorcycle license. I looked at the Transport Department’s requirements, easy.

Some paperwork, eye and reflex test, then an easy drive test in their area!

Cheap, no hassles and very easy.

Good 👍😎
