Driving license for 1 day ^-^ (English)

After a wonderful vacation, for fun, amazing - how life sometimes boils even in small cities. I return home, as the phone has turned from white to red, and a notice on Facebook surpasses 50, mail was littered with hundreds of emails. Gradually disassembled these "obstructions" appeared a minute to write - at least some of my beautiful vacation. The desire to get a driver's license, I had in the Ukraine as a student, but to compare the studies at the Academy, working in children's studio and three-month-drive "N" money was not possible. My father was a driver with the experience, I knew that the theory can be said since kindergarten, and the practice was limited to sitting in the passenger seat and rare cases, when friends were allowed to drive the village streets. And it has happened! It all started with the hospital - the first document - a certificate from the hospital. Before, I was amazed why the Thai law to hire four Thais and now has reached. My husband and me came to the hospital around 9 am - took a ticket for one person, after a while, he called us - weighed, checked the growth and waist, said the blood group (well I knew her, because it does not check it separate procedure). Man asked for my passport and handed it to his notes in the registration window, and said to wait. Sometime after 10 minutes, I was summoned to the registration window and took my picture with the webcam and told to wait again. It took another 5-10 minutes she called a nurse, checked the pulse and blood pressure, did some writing and sent to another nurse, she again (via computer I forgot to specify) did write on a sheet and a monitor and asked to sit on branch in frount - wait for their turn to see a doctor. In front of me there were 4 Thai - girls from tribes, old man, and child. Waiting took about 20 minutes. Finally I got to the office. Doctor without looking away from the screen, something said to my husband in Thai, not even looking at me portraying several Thai squiggles, signed a piece of paper, and said: "In cash." After waiting for a small queue to the cashier and pay 50 Baht we left the hospital around 10.30a.m.. Cool!!!! medical examination completed. The second - a photocopy of my passport - with photo, with a map on arrival, visa, and other dies visa extension. My visa is for one year - marriage, so everything is fine. And in general require a visa to find in Thailand for at least 90 days. Document number three - Certificate of Residence - to retrieve it took us two photos to documents, even copies of my passport, and based on my visa immigration office Mae Hong Son, was given this beautiful paper for free for 30 minutes. And so it is all brought together - we arrived at the same Mae Hong Son, in a car office, or as it is properly called - correct me - at 9 am. I checked for color blindness - alternately included traffic light - green, yellow, red - but not in the same order as the traffic on the street, and in the lack of coordination, and I had to say what color I see. Then Work the pedals - a condition only the right foot, and so that light bulb lit up in a row, only the green, no red. The third test - with the button to draw a stick on a different level. At 9.30 we have included video training on traffic rules in Thai. They gave me a couple of books with an English translation. From 12.00 to 13.00 lets go for lunch. After that I personally have included another hour training video in English and then invited to take the test in the computer. The computer is a kind of ATM machine with buttons - all just 30 questions on English or pictures, and 4 possible answers. The pass mark 75% of at least 23 correct answers.My Husband offered pay for the test and driving, but I decided to do everything yourself - "farang" conscience smart women do not allow then to be able to drive my bike ^ _ ^ So I'm a little lost in pictures and scored 20 correct answers ... sorry ... But the power of feminine charms (Shakti) - examiner transplanted me to other ATM and asked to take the test again. The second time was more questions in English without pictures I've gained 26 responses. Hurray!! The test is given maxim hour, it took me 20 minutes. At the sight of my face beaming husband realized that the theory passed, but when I said that I was struck with the second time - the Thais given one attempt - failed come in a week for the entire course again. And so the last stage - the test drive. I have 2 years drive an automatic Honda Click in our town, and in Mae Hong Son, we came by car. So my husband got hold somewhere auto bike, I no have experience for a bike ride with gear. Yes ... plus Thailand - came to pass on the right - you can on your own car. Another examiner - said my knowledge of Thai and explained everything to my husband first and then to me, and eventually my husband again moved - I have to drive - a zigzag, then on line not faster 10 seconds, turn to the left, in the ring, and the terms on site with all the stops where it should be. and so gone - not my bike, women's brains took a moment to orient his hand to hold, a huge helmet, but like I see what and how. I made this circle and the smile of my husband - I realized - something the examiner did not like. Again my sweet ^______^ smile, chirping wife in Thai and translated my English, give a second attempt. I still can not understand what's so familiar ring sign how to call in and leave our Pae not exist, but the examiner took pity on farang and signed documents. First husband joked, looking at the squiggles, "What do we do? Did not surrender, we should come back in three days?" and dragged me not to home and in the office building, and said go make a photo. Well what he said about the joke before tripped-clicking camera and my picture on the Driving License full of fun and smiling and not shocking and tortured for a whole day. At about 4 pm we came out of the building with my rights on the bike is valid for one year, paid 165 Baht and a year to come to extend - Complete the entire procedure once more.HURAYYYYYY!!! PS-the car, the test the same but test drive ride in a car. And if you already have the action right add them to the set of documents, and just go through the entire course. Good luck
