What are the requirements for obtaining a Thai driver's license with a foreign license and IDP?

Terary **********

My first license was a couple of years ago. I don't exactly recall everything I needed but I do remember it's a pain in the neck.. Doctor's letter, class/instructor letter, immigration letter.

I found someone who helped me get my second license... It cost me 3000, took me 30 minutes.

Are 125cc scooters in Thailand powerful enough to travel uphill easily?

Terary **********

My girlfriend and I have no issues going up steep hills. Together we're 120kg.

Top speed without the girl is about 100-120km/h. That's fast enough to hurt yourself pretty good.

Scooters are good enough to get through the city without issue. They're not so great for long trips, off-road riding, or similar real motorcycle activity.

What are my options for obtaining a visa for my elderly mother coming to Thailand when health insurance may be problematic?

Terary **********

My buddy is 70+ and has some other health concerns besides. He gets around the insurance requirement by getting his retirement visa inside Thailand.

I didn't read all of the responses but if nobody mentioned it, getting the retirement visa in country is also an option.

Has the Honda Click 125 been discontinued in Thailand, and what are the alternatives?

Terary **********

I have rented motorcycles in several SE countries. There almost always have a Click style motorcycle, named something different. Given the popularity of the bike I doubt they'll discontinue it anytime soon. They may rebrand it but I am skeptical of that.

Are there hotels in Bangkok and Pattaya that offer guest kitchens for self-catering?

Terary **********

AirBnB often have some sort of "cooking area" with limited cooking supplies.

An induction cooker (Hot plate) is pretty cheap. I have dietary restrictions also and when I travel to exotic places I tend to stick with fruits and vegetables.
