I'll need to ask about the upgraded school requirements. But it seems likely.
Kudos on surviving your motorcycle riding days. As much as I like the country, my happiest moment is when I turn the scooter in at the end of each trip.
Right now a 150/PCX is about as small as you want to go these days even in northern Thailand. And in another 10 years it will only safe to drive a car outside rural areas. Big change from the early 2000s when all you saw were 100cc bikes on the highway with the odd military truck.
wow it does seem different used to live there in early 2000s.
In Bangkok they had motorcycle taxis,,could be very exciting at times
I want to say they where 175cc but not sure, it was a while back.
When they where building the sky train. A hug slab of concert fell crushing a taxi killing the driver.
His family only got around 10k US, from the company building it.
My company had to apply for work permit for me to work there ...very interesting process at the time.
Each month I had to go back and get it updated until it was approved paying money each time.
At the end of 6 months it was approved starting from the fist month of the application processes
which effectively meant it was only good for 6 months
We used to have lunches on a restaurant on the chao phraya river, very cool, good food,
like something out of the movies.
Land of smiles....
speaking of scooters
I always considered Taiwan to be scooter heaven,,,,
They have every kind of scooter one could think about,,,kinda cool
https://nomad-notions.com/2013/12/20/10 ... in-taiwan/Some one mentioned that in Thailand they had a rule about wheel size, this resulted in the small motor cycles being used there as opposed to scooters.
They did have have some big bikes owned by some of the more affluent Thais.
