I renew mine next year this time. I did have to watch the video 1 hour last time I wonder if I will have to do it again. But since it is online I will watch the whole video so I can answer the questions at the end. Thanks for letting us know about the questions.
Gday chuck, like I said, renew license just after it expires and you get 5 years plus. 2030 before you have to worry about the process again. Perfect mate, I know the feeling renewing because they do make the foreigners jump through the hoops now. Also if you get pink card before you are 60 it will last 10 years, if you are over 60 it has no expire date. And yes mate, it’s a UTE 😂
Thank you for his small adventure It help me relax after a long day at work Keep up the amazing content And the drive for 100,000 subscribers is still on Good morning 😂
I've had my yellow book and pink ID card for over a decade. I will readily admit, they don't get much use. They are sort of like insurance, there if I need them. Unlike you, when I buy vehicles for me, I title them for me. I also have my yellow book in my pocket whenever I do 90 day (in person), or extensions, even though I've not been asked to show the book. It has for me taken the place of an Immigration Residency document, which costs baht to get, and the book and card are free. Over time, in my own case, I feel getting the book and card has saved me much more baht than not having the book and card. That may or may not be true for you. 🙂
@@notime2bsad I agree, most foreigners do not have a yellow book, or go through the extra step to get a pink ID. And you don't NEED either to do anything. They do make it easier and less expensive to do anything that needs an offical address document, but you are absolutely correct, you can pay each time for an Immigration document and accomplish the same end result. As with everything here, "Up to you". 🙂
Congratulations on renewing your driver's license. I have both the yellow book and the pink ID card. It's good to have. But for me it's being able to own my cars and motorcycles myself. I have renewed my driver's license once myself and it was at the same place you did now outside Udon Thani
🙏👍 To buy a car in Thailand as a foreigner, you’ll need to gather several important documents. These include: A valid passport, both original and photocopies. A copy of a valid visa. Ideally, this should be a Non-Immigrant Visa; you can buy a car on a tourist visa, but the car won’t be registered under your name. Work permit or a residence certificate. It is advisable to submit both documents, if possible, to ensure all necessary documentation is covered. yellow book should take care of the Resident document, however some workers might not see outside of what is written and no exceptions. So be prepared in advance. If that is possible
Another reason to have the ID is you can use it at the bank too. To many trips back to my house to get my passport. Also if I need to return an item to a store for a refund, the first thing they ask is for your passport. The ID is good for that . If you are over 60 the ID is valid forever.
I have a retirement visa end I am 52 years old. I also have a bank account. Everything becomes much easier with the yellow book and pink ID card and a bank account. I buy and do everything myself now. don't need my wife to do everything
Hi, happy good morning Paige & Chuck ! That was really an awesome little holiday, you found nice places, and of course it was comfortable for the Mafia ladies to enjoy good food without cooking themselves lol ! Happy for you Chuck you got your driving licence👍btw.I`m everytime excited to see your amazing kitchen and all the new upgrades in your house - very pretty❣✌I wish you happy christmas days🎄
Yes Chuck it's a UTE not a truck . When you re-new your passport whenever , do you have to get a new YELLOW BOOK too , what a lot of extra mucking around :-)
Going through this myself in Nonthaburi. I’ve been driving around Thailand using my American driver’s license and International permit for almost four years. Told my wife I need to get my Thai license and she keeps telling me her police friend said I am ok what I have been doing. I got my first speeding ticket a couple weeks ago. I haven’t gotten my yellow book since being here or a pink ID, but my European buddy over here told me I need to get all that done an a Thai driver’s license. We have two homes, one my wife’s family home that she had built a couple years ago and a condo in Bangkok for her work where she has her name in the condo blue book. So I will be registering my yellow book at the condo.
Your police friend isn’t not very good you are breaking the law because you have no insurance after three months with an idp license and your USA license is invalid being used in Thailand. so don’t know how you can state what you are stating because it’s false. In Thailand, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is valid for driving for up to 90 days from the date of entry. After this period, you must either obtain a Thai driving licence or exit and re-enter the country to reset their 90-day allowance. The validity period of an IDP is influenced by the type of IDP: the most commonly accepted in Thailand is the one issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention, which allows for a broader validity period in other countries but is restricted to 90 days in Thailand. Each entry to the country allows for a fresh 90-day driving period if the person leaves and returns shortly thereafter. This can sometimes lead to confusion about the regulations, with varying opinions on the enforcement and practical implications of driving without a local licence, especially among long-term residents.
I have a pink card and yellow book live in central Thailand and have seen no advantage of having them. A drivers license and passport does the same thing is what I have noticed. I understand they interpret the rules different all over Thailand nothing is consistant.
Dude I got me renewal of my drivers license my first try and Chaiyaphum office got my certificate of residency in like one hour. And with that I went to and office took color blind and all the stuff. But it was either waiting for one hour until 1 to take the safety class I signed up online and did it in tgat hour and was able to process. They didn’t even scan the code to see if I actually passed.
Congratulations Chuck on your new license! The upstairs has really changed and looks so clean and welcoming ! Daz will love it ! Great job to Paige and you!😊
Good Morning. Chuck and Paige. Great information as always. The breakfast selection looked good. Nice new pictures. Good that your license is sorted. Dinner looked good, Mafia is a great cook. Happy Birthday to your father-in-law. Wishing you all a Great day.

most foreigners here who own their vehicle or motorbike do not have a yellow book as it is not necessary to title a vehicle in their name. 🙏
Saves time too

The yellow book simply proves you live at a certain address so you don't have to renew or change it unless you move home.
Yeah! a renewed license, anyway cheers guys,
🙂
❤ Good morning Chuck and Paige ❣️ Enjoy your tour video’s and lovely life in Thailand 🇹🇭🇳🇴 Wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄❣️

Hiya Mike
Morning!
I’ll do the same here soon, at least the tests are easy 😅
If you get your license before your birthday you get 5 years just after your birthday nearly 6 years 😃
Yes thanks. I thought i mentioned that in the video.
@ sorry did not hear that bit 🥴
When buying a new car I only took my passport to immigration with my 90 day report paper in my passport 200baht letter done same for driving license
That guy was right about getting the extra year doing the licence. Bonus for sure and paid for 5. Now you're legal .. lol. Bushyboy Oz.
I Like the shirt Chuck very Smart

The safety video is a pain. And don't forget it pauses periodically and asks questions with a,b,c or d options. :)
