  1. I'm on a fishing expedition. Does anyone know of / have experience with, either of these organizations, please ? I believe that back in 2009 one of the originating businesses may have been "OxiGen" Please feel free to P.M. me. Thanks in anticipation. The Proffesor
  2. The lasagna was also a favorite of mine, and my TW loved the spicy seafood spaghetti.
  3. Do I spot some ex-Secrets staff there ?
  4. All of my license applications have been at the Land Transport Office adjacent to the Regents School. But, TiT; my wife has inadvertently let her car license renewal lapse, so she is going to renew it tomorrow. I asked if she had got her Medical Certificate - she says that Thais don't need one. I then asked her when her motorcycle license expires and she tells me that it is valid until she dies . . . ? !! The inconsistencies are not just at the Land Transport Office. A guy I know ( he died last year ) was working in Chiang Mai for a Company when his Work Permit expired - so he went to the Labour Office up there and renewed it. He showed me the renewal, which was valid for a 2 year period. I've asked our Business Agent ( who handles my Work Permit ) and she says emphatically, there is no such thing as a 2 year W.P. Go figure.
  5. Define "Road Test" I had to drive around the building, through a road cone slalom, and reverse into a parking spot. On the (supplied ) motorcycle, same trip around the building and instead of the parking test, ride across a scaffold plank about 8'-0" ( 2.5 m ) long, that was flat on the concrete ground. Thanks Danny I suppose that at our age, we should be thankful that the mind is only playing tricks and hasn't failed completely - but then, some would say that it is only a matter of time.
  6. I got my first, 1 year, Thai licenses ( motorcycle & car ) on the 28th December 2010 - i came to Thailand with an International Driving License ( IDP - issued by the U.K. post Office ). My Birthday is the 25th December. As the OP says, the effective date of the license is the 1st birthday after it is issued, so my license was valid until 25 Dec 2012. I went to renew them both ( upgrade to a 5 year ) in early December 2012, only to be told that it couldn't be renewed until it had expired, so i went back after Christmas, and got them both renewed / upgraded to 5 years. So, 2017 comes around and I wait until after my birthday to go top renew - only to be told that they've changed the rules ! I should have renewed within the last 3 months of the license's validity. Because I had let the license expire, I had to go through the full gambit of tests, video presentations etc, etc. to get them renewed. They now expire on the 25th December 2022. So, I suggest you check with somebody in the know; if in doubt, go to renew early, rather than late. Best of luck The Proffesor P.S. I'm at an age where my memory is failing, so excuse me if I've got the dates wrong. I do remember that my birthday is at Christmas - I think . . .
  7. Hi Guys ( & gals ? ) Some of you might recognise the name from other forums. It's my habit to read the forums on a regular basis, but I tend not to contribute unless I feel I have something relevant to say. Having said that, I'm not too shy to post a question if I'm in need of advise.
