Managed to get this Tokay to pose for me - captured with one of those basic point-and-shoot cameras, nothing fancy.

Re: The Digital Surgery

Don't use either but they may require you to import all of your music to a library or create play lists as other media players do. I always use Winamp for music as it is simple and doesn't misbehave.

I have a car license, it was simply converted from the one from my home country several years ago (when things were a lot easier), it was the bike license I'd never done.

Re: Thai Driver's License Renewal

As far as I know the documents are the same, you just don't have to take the test again.

Maybe someone that has done it recently at Pranburi can confirm.

Re: Do you use social networks and websites?
