@Hoang *******
 Hoang is a common name. Try your name in FB search. You will find a lot of people with the same name. My father almost get denies entry at China for having a same name and birthday with another guy who on the watch list. Luckily that guys photo looks different.

As what Brandon said, you need to contact a lawyer.

 As Steve said many insurance companies won’t cover you unless you are the owner of the bike. Travel insurance covers hospital bill. But you need to ask if they covers accidents cost by riding a bike. Then do they require you holds a license or permit.

Getting an IDP or Thai license is just for voiding pay fine when police stops you at a check point. For insurance purposes get a travel insurance which covers accidents riding a motorcycle. When you riding a rental bike there is a basic insurance coverage from Thai government but it does not offer much protection though.

@Brandon ***********
 before was 5 or 10 baht for regular Thai post. Take about 1 month. Now they charge 40 or 50 for express delivery. Around 1 week. If my memory is correct.

It’s at Chiang Mai immigration office Level 2. Stairway is left side of the main building. Photo from last year. Should be the same.
