Nah, he just said "I’ve applied for a motorcycle license online from my country in Australia."
To convert, Thailand prefers that we bring an IDP along with the home license. However, the original post is vague because he didn’t specify what the 2,000 THB was for. Agents typically charge this amount to arrange a residential certificate with Thai immigration, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn’t scammed... except for the 1,000 THB medical fee. Lol.
1. Australian - IDP's are online & can be mailed out globally.
2. UK - Ooof... IDP's only at postpoint now, no longer online with RAC & AA
3. Scam - Oooff... I see now..

These websites issue realistic IDPs, but they are fraudulent. The IDP appears legit, but you could face criminal charges if caught, and insurance would be void.
It's possible to get a letter from beauty clinics, as long as a Doctor is there.
People purchase botox,HIFEM,HIFU all kinds of treatment packages which have 2 year expiry.
1. Pay clinic.
2. Request for a appointment letter. (Saying you need one to help with your visa)
3. Inform clinic what they should include.
(Exact treatment doesn't need to be include on the letter, as this is personal, even still doesn't matter as your are seeking medical treatment through a registered clinic with a certified doctor present)
4. Purchase a "package" with a a 2year expiry, then it can be worded you are seeking ongoing treatment with the clinic & require multiple sessions to visit the clinic.
This can take up to 2 years to complete. (Due to the package expiry)
I've seen packages for Emsculpt for 3,000 THB
Could even be IV, possibilities are quite broad here.
They seem to question people less, when supplying a medical letter from a certified doctor.
People often are more questioned when applying for the "workcation" as proving a job/ongoing income requires further detail.
Anyone spending more than 180 days in Thailand is expected to pay Tax, unless if your'e already paying tax elsewhere. double tax agreement (DTA)
Thailand can only track "remittance" they have no system currently in place to chase individuals up for tax & ask you apply for a Tax ID & file yourself.
