I took a community college course, two weeks to get my motorcycle endorsement on my Las Vegas license then got my international DL which allowed me to avoid the test when I got my DL in Chiangmai. The class was invaluable. Keep your head on a swivel 🙏

Tank you so much for this nice and informative video ! Nice to hear the story from the Swedes. I am living about 45km from there home town. Today I am flying out from Copenhagen to Bangkok, it’s 7 months since i met my family, and i am missing them like crazy. It would be great to meet up for a coffee or lunch when we arrive in Hua hin in December. I understand that you are very busy right now, but I will contact you and maybe you can find some time ? Take care and stay safe ! Se you !! Ulf and Da ! 🙏❤️🇹🇭🇺🇸🇸🇪

You're so right. Riding a scooter and a motorbike is completely different. I have a HD in Sydney, and a 125 scooter in Hua Hin.

Riding motorcycle or scooter I only do it on smaller island as that is more convenient but have all license, scooter insurance coverage and don't drink or other illegal drugs as that disqualify for coverage. In most major tourist town from Bangkok and others you have Bhat bus, scooter taxi, taxis, MRT/BTS then add cheap Grab/Bolt app using these are safer especially if you plan to drink on the nights out.

Hiya Joe and Gift. Glenn and Carina. Lovely couple. How lovely they brought gifts. And brought breakfast. Breakfast looked so good. Joe, I gotta do my exercise. Gift, me too. Joe, Yeah right. 555. Another lovely couple, Nathan and Tye. Sorry, if I spelled names wrong. The lunch looked amazing. This vlog is making me hungry. Sorry, to hear about his friend. He was lucky. And the bike company was great. Great to share. One of my daughter's friends came to Thailand rented a bike without a helmet and smashed her face and body up really badly. Ruined her holiday. Great video. Happy Thursday.

Great vlog as usual. It’s no wonder that your subscribers want to visit you and Gift. Y’all are “victims” of your channel’s popularity. I’m now a little hesitant visiting Thailand despite the very reasonable costs for emergency medical care in a govt hospital due my pre existing cardio😢 vascular medical conditions. I’m still looking for a travel insurance plan that will cover such conditions.

Awesome video To bad the guy got hurt But what other country could you be in that that whole thing would be less than a 100 dollars That’s crazy Once when I was in Thailand I broke two ribs my bill at a hospital was about 20 dollars That included X-rays pain killers ect I didn’t even bother to put that thought my travel insurance But one when I was in Hawaii the wife of a friend of mine who we were travelling with got a nice urinary infection that was $1500 USD Lol
