    Couple months ago, my wife drove car license in Thailand. We went to driving test into city 20km away with a car she drove herself. Two before her went to driving test without seat belts. Staff mentioned about it, but it wasn't reason to fail the test. If you moved car one time too much while parking, that would result in failure. Most useless driving test I have ever seen 😅

    For Johnny $150 extra for the license is nothing but $2 more to eat inside a restaurant is too much.

      @JohnnyFD I don't even know if it's enough for a cup of coffee, i know kr 20 is very little and i feel a bit self concious because it's not very much. But it's the thought that counts or something. A small way to repay for all your content. 🌸

    Good work Johnny, now you don't have to bribe the cops if you get stopped. And, on a lesser note, it helps keep people in a job.

      I always refused to bribe the cops anyways. I'd rather just pay the real fine at the bank so it doesn't encourage them.

    Welcome to Johnny's slurping channel lol. I love good Thai noodles. Rice once gave me serious food poisoning so noodles are safer. BTW, brakes should always be checked after they have been affected by water. You got that wrong.

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Makes sense about the brakes. Even after washing your car you should test them as soon as you can. =)

      @@JohnnyFD They have signs up at car wash places here about brakes, which is how I knew. Congratulations with you licenses. They made me order a new international driving license which I had forgot to do. Got caught without at Jomtien once. Only got out of trouble cause my friend, who speaks some Thai, yelled and screamed at the police so much that they got fed up and told us to get going. No fine.

    Yes. That is smart to be licensed. I wonder if the rolling down the window question was a trick question? In other words, both answers can be correct, but the first one is the most important. Is there a way to find out why the driver's test made that the one judged as correct? I'm asking because I just asked the Copiot AI, and it didn't make a distinction. Or maybe I didn't ask the question the right way. As far as the question about the brakes, I would have answered that correctly because when people can drive off and not realize that the brakes need to dry to be effective. Anyway, proud of you for getting all your driver's licenses!

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually shocked right now that you, JohnnyFD, spent that much to get a license?!😮😂 You wouldn't even buy a sandwich in Oslo Airport. I thought you were going to starve.😂 Fortunately, there was a pot of gold at the end....the food court at Suvarnabhumi Airport.😅 Anyway, Congrats🎉 Any plans to visit other countries nearby, maybe driving?

    Johnny , since you already have the license, all you would need is a motorcycle endorsement. Same as America.

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  15 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      In thailand, the Motorcycle License is seperate from a Car license. You can't just add an "M" to your existing card unfortunately.

    10:56 Ohhh it is a trick question. You must always stay on the left side of the ENTIRE ROAD (in Thailand, JP or UK etc..) but drive to the right of the motorcyclers. This wasn't testing your driving ability it was testing your logical ability. Kind of lame.

    Brakes don't work well right after getting wet..till they dry..Think safety when taking tests. I never have been required to take the tests.....I had an international license with bike endorsement and all I had to do was watch an hour movie, take the red, green,yellow test and have a pulse and i got both at the same time...cost was 310 for both licenses, 100 for medical and 10 baht for copies. Next time when you renew- just do it yourself...easy...2 hours..no appointment needed,,..plenty of info. online to help u thru the process.

    Johnny, have a question for your next Q&A. and 2 large singhas on me (with ice)
    would you consider moving back to Chiang Mai for 6 months out of the year, similar to what you do in Jomtien? Also how do you like all your new filming gear you got recently? and lastly which mic do you like more the DJI or the Hollymark?

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  15 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Hey thanks for the tip! I'll go into them more in depth during the Q&A but...
      Chiang Mai - I loved it there, but that chapter of my life is now closed. I'll go back and visit only. 5 years was enough there for me to see, do, eat and experience everything I wanted. Now I appreciate having a beach.
      Gear - I like the Hollyland for my iPhone better as it has a small usb plug. But the DJI works seamlessly with the Osmo 5.
