Rights are needed. For driving a bike - category A, for a car - category B.
In addition to Russian rights, you will need international ones - this is a translated version of your rights into other languages, it can be ordered through the State Services. You will need 1,600 rubles of state duty, a photograph, a Russian license and a passport.
At your own risk, you can drive without a license, but we DO NOT RECOMMEND doing so. Thailand recently changed the size of the fine, and now there is no clear understanding of how much you will be fined if you are caught without a license. These are the fines now in the traffic police in Chalong (Phuket).

Everything is simple here. There are 3 iron options that are suitable for beginners! See diagram.
Click 125
The most popular bike in Thailand. It has a roomy trunk, it is comfortable to ride together. Maneuverable, small, but at the same time quite rigid.
Scoopy и Filano
2 kids with retro design. Inexpensive, stylish, but without pretensions to good dynamics. Pretty stable due to the low landing. Often these bikes are chosen by girls.
Important: 125cc bikes will most likely not be able to carry 2 people uphill. It is especially noticeable after rain - traffic jams from cars form on the serpentines.
NMax и PCX
Eternal rivals from Yamaha and Honda, respectively. NMax has 155 dice, PCX has 2 versions: 150 and 160 dice. In general, in terms of driving characteristics, they are completely similar.
Pleasant and dynamic bikes. Without any problems they carry 2 people up and down the hill in any weather, you can play checkers on the highway. There is ABS and keyless entry. well managed/
If the task of maximum savings is not set, take one of them, you will not be mistaken.
Superbikes
Honda Forza, Honda ADV 350, Yamaha X-Max, etc.
We do not recommend for novice drivers - they are large and heavy. As a result, it is difficult to manage. Your first experience is best done on a small and cheap bike.

• Stock and top equipment are distinguished by the presence of ABS and keyless entry
• ABS is an anti-lock braking system. It prevents the wheel from slipping when braking, as a result, braking becomes more effective. The presence of ABS saves during emergency braking and helps to go down hills (especially on wet roads!)
• Keyless entry - works like on modern cars. A mobilizer keychain is attached to the keys, thanks to which the bike can be started with a button. A very convenient feature - the key is in the back pocket of the backpack, you do not need to get it and, as a result, you will not forget it anywhere. The main thing is not to store the ignition key in the trunk of the bike.
• Idling stop - the bike stalls if it stops, it starts up by itself when the throttle is turned. Allows you to save 5-10% of fuel in traffic jams. Such a system is, for example, on all BMW cars.

Всеми плюшками научим пользоваться на месте!

We recommend going to the 7\11 (seven-eleven) or Family Mart store. Sims are sold directly at the checkout. You will need a passport and money to pay the fare. Usually they take unlimited internet for a month. The TrueH operator costs approximately 650 baht / month.
Tariffs are higher than in the Russian Federation, but still more profitable than roaming. The signal quality is excellent. At the Phuket airport and in Bangkok, I was able to catch a 5G signal from a Thai SIM card.
