I drove in Thailand for eleven years and when I was stopped on motorbike for roadside checks, produced my old British tatty bit of paper. Only ever once asked why I didn't have a photo id type licence, but nothing said.
All this gibberish reminds me of a line of soldiers on parade and the soldier at one end of the line says lend me 3 & 4 pence to go to a dance, by the time it gets to the last soldier at the other end of the parade, it's changed to send reinforcements were going to advance 😂😂😂

My Thai friend has fourteen chihuahuas and a British bulldog, but he has a large gated and walled village type house, so the dogs can't get out to mix with soi dogs.
