Great video, if I could offer a few more tips : - get your international drivers permit from your home country prior to arriving , when pulled over that’s all they will look at and if you don’t have one you will be fined - if renting long term for a month as an example , ask if you can leave the deposit in your home countries currency ( that way you don’t have to bring 5000 baht home with you, or lose money on the exchange and have to deal with getting a ride to the exchange booth on top of it ) - keep your line ( when driving along don’t drift to the right or the left, or make any unnecessary quick movements to either side ) because believe me .. scooters will come flying up from behind and pass you within inches on your left and right so quick ya don’t even see them coming - wear eye protection ( sunglasses ) I’ve been riding for over 50 years and got hit in the eye by a large bug when I was much younger while not wearing any and almost lost my eye , it amazes me how many people ride there without them, especially family’s with little kids

I agree about renting small bike such as Honda Click 125. Obvious reason is easy to maneuver, automatic, easy on petrol. Just fill in 100 baht can last the whole day.

I am coming to Samui on the 16th March 24, I am then going to the mainland by ferry for about 7 to 10 days doing a bike tour, then coming back to Samui, I need a bigger bike with luggage and one that allows me to take it off the island, do you know any? I have a full licence to ride any bike and international. Thanks

Can I use a provisional license

@TM_9723 Ай бұрын

I’m struggling to find answers for this, obviously in the UK you can ride scooters on a provisional license, is this the case in Thailand too? Are you able to get an international license with it or no?

@kamolhengkiatisak1527 Ай бұрын

Apply international licence in UK or if you cannot, you can apply to learn with riding school in Thailand and when done the school will guide you to obtain international licence in Thailand the next day. Quite easy.

It's awful advice, don't listen to him. His advice is putting you in peril

@tbjdiamonddog 2 ай бұрын

His ‘FULL GUIDE’ doesn’t tell you that your need a full bike licence, if you have NOT passed your test on a big bike you can only drive up to 50CC in the UK on L plates therefore you should only rent up to 50CC in Thailand, but there are NO 50CC scooters in Thailand, you will be allowed to rent a scooter with your uk licence and or international licence, the problem comes if you have serious accident that you need hospital treatment or worse someone dies, you will not even have the 3rd party insurance they use as standard

@kamolhengkiatisak1527 Ай бұрын

That's wrong. The L licence in UK is limited to 125CC, not 50CC. There is no bike sale at 50CC in UK anymore. Even if I am Thai, I have watched so many UK youtubers about L licence limit at 125CC.

@tbjdiamonddog Ай бұрын

@@kamolhengkiatisak1527 yes thank you, I stand corrected on the 50cc, thst was back many years, now 125cc but have to do CBT test ‘To ride on public roads you first need to get a provisional licence and then complete compulsory basic training (CBT) to get a certificate’

@jamespaterson9801 Ай бұрын

Well said. I think the lowest cc bike in thailand is 100 cc. Don't think there are very few 50cc bikes

do you need bike driving licence to rent a bike?

@jamespaterson9801 Ай бұрын

Legally yes you do, a full motor bike licence and an international driving permit Any insurance you have will be invalidated including your travel insurance, should you have an accident..

@colinrulez1 6 ай бұрын

What about license? Do they require a motorcycle license? What’s the fine for not having one?

@bertspringdog 5 ай бұрын

you need to purchase an international driving permit from your countries driving agency. they are below $10. if you are coming to Chiang Mai, the Police set up check points and stop tourists and fine them. much cheaper and easier to sort before coming. if youre going to the islands, they rarely check but Chiang Mai as i say, they do check. The bike rental shop will not check for license or insurance but you should check your medical insurance covers you incase of accident :)

@jamespaterson9801 Ай бұрын

Your advice is irresponsible buddy. You haven't mentioned that you need a full motorbike licence and an international driving permit to legally ride motorbike in thailand if you don't have these any insurance including travel insurance will be invalid should you have an accident wether its your fault or not.. Your video very irresponsible and misleading..

@darioquacquarelli Ай бұрын

You sound like a lot of fun James, lighten up. Everyone rides without licence's here, on your head be it if you want to ride without insurance.

@jamespaterson9801 Ай бұрын

Its irrelevant if everyone rides without a valid license , give responsible advice buddy. It isn't difficult. By doing so it just might keep people safe and not financially out of pocket should they have an accident. Ive seen irresponsible people like yourself ruined financially for not having valid insurance because they don't have a full motorbike licence, which makes all insurance invalid.. Should they have a serious accident. Hospital bills, damage to the bike and damages to any third party involved. Bills running into 10s of thousands of pounds.. Just give responsible advice or don't give any.
