Thailand question: Need a moped license?
Dear readers,
Do you need a moped driver's license if your moped has less than 125cc capacity? This seems to be the rule in Cambodia and a friend who has lived in both Thailand and Cambodia says it is the rule. Is that right? And if so does anyone have a text love Thai I can show if they pull me over?
Regards,
Ralph
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
Ralph,
Whether or not you need a driver's license for a moped under 125CC is not that important. If you are arrested, it will probably cost you a few hundred Bath. No problem. What is much more important is that you have no insurance if you cannot prove a driver's license in the event of a (physical) accident. I have read my insurance (Allianz) with the "fine Print" and you are not covered with this company if you do not have a motorcycle license. It has also been made clear that if you are on the back of a moped with someone who does not have a driver's license and have an accident, you will not have insurance. We just hope that every Moped taxi in Thailand has a driver's license……… Cheers
You must have it from your friends….
You can rent motorcycles in Thailand without a license, up to 1800cc Harleys and larger.
However, without a driver's license you are uninsured. So you drive 100% at your own expense and are jointly and severally liable for damage to the motorcycle, damage to third parties and of course your travel/health insurance does not cover the hospital bill in case of injury as a result of driving something for which you do not have a driver's license.
Calling on Gofundme to help pay hospital bills doesn't have to count on much understanding.
My simple and well-intentioned advice: no driver's license, don't drive unless you have the financial means to bear the financial consequences of an accident yourself.
8 out of 10 times it goes well, but if you 1 out of 2 times it doesn't go well you're seriously screwed
motorcycle license is definitely required and an international driver's license too (ANWB)
Yes, also in Thailand you need a motorcycle license for above 49cc. But when renting / borrowing, it is never asked for, often for a passport as a deposit.
It is very unlikely that there is insurance
g has been taken out in addition to the compulsory insurance. The compulsory insurance only covers hospital and death up to 50.000 baht. Travel insurance also does not cover costs due to a motorcycle accident where you are the driver.
I also did a round of Koh Samui on a 130 cc without a driver's license. But I was aware that if things went wrong it could cost money.
I have spoken to various rental motorcycles, they all say the same thing: the rental motorcycles are not insured. Simply because they cannot be insured. So in the event of damage, you are fully responsible for the costs. It does not matter whether or not you have a motorcycle license.
Not having a motorcycle license can have consequences for possible medical costs. A Dutch travel or health insurer can then refuse a claim. Especially with very high claims, they will really investigate whether you have complied with the law.
the Thai calls everything on 2 wheels, which you don't have to pedal, a “moto-sai”.
Moreover, I have not seen a 23 cc two-wheeler in 49 years.
You will therefore have to submit your motorcycle / moped driver's license.
Haven't looked closely for 23 years Peer, I have one here, a Yamaha JOG space innovation 49cc, they are imported by various dealers.
There are several 49cc mopeds in my village alone, and they are becoming more and more popular because there is no tax and insurance plus you don't need a driver's license.
Maybe I'll put mine up for sale on Thailandblog soon, I don't actually do anything with it and I see that there is more and more demand for it.
Hello Geert,
Could I ask where roughly "at my house" is... I might be interested if you want to sell it... provided it's not too far away... haha I'm in Ubon R.
Regards, Erik
Hello UbonRome, my home is Khorat, I live about 15 km outside of Khorat.
Greetings Geert
Yamaha Jog, Honda Dio. Honda Monkey, Charlie.
There are several 50cc mopeds in Thailand.
They are used as shopping bike and city bike etc.
These things do not have an officially recognized status as a motor vehicle and therefore usually do not have a number plate.
Sometimes they are provided with a fake license plate or they still have a plate from Japan hanging when it comes to import vehicles.
Regards,
jos k.
The Thai calls this kind of mopeds POP
