@Justin ********

why not be public about contact details?

If someone is foolish enough to want to do this, we should encourage them as much as possible so then they will be some other Country’s problem

@Steve ******

exactly

It appears-your experience has been very different from mine. I have had multiple extensions and I go in and apply about two days before the end of my Current extension. They keep my passport for two weeks here in Chiang Mai and then I go pick it up. The stamp Put in my passport is the day I applied for the extension, not when I picked it up.

Office crrew not in a good mood when I flew. Will avoid in the future

I have to say I am a little confused by your comment. If one takes a class in Thailand then one graduates driving like Thais.......scary. LOL

I found my 20 years of whitewater kayaking experience had some positive carryover into bike riding- feeling comfortable leaning to the side and being in the moment. Mindfulness, continually monitoring your environment is necessary.

If you want to get an IDP to drive a bike here, my experience, I went to AAA in America and was told I would need a USA motorcycle license. I opted to get an automobile IDP, but when I showed it at a police traffic stop in Chiang Mai I was busted and had to pay the fine.

Wait
