I reckon he is looking for an excuse to run back to the UK.
Thai bureaucracy/corruption will be what he blames.
That’s exactly what I’m expecting, he’ll blame it entirely on the corruption of the police.

Well he’s probably certainly built a deep and meaningful relationship with the local feds, I’m sure they’ll be stopping him for little chats on a regular basis.

Posted on his food channel and ordered a San Miguel zero. Nice to be able to have a beer and legally ride your bike. Oh wait a minute!

He's replied to most of the negative comments with a ❤. What a jerk!

Looks like that vlog has been binned! :-O
Left it up for three days though, despite being advised very early on to take it down. A few of the commenters alluded to DJs penchant for making enemies by making snide comments and blocking people. It was pointed out these actions might invite retaliation by reporting him to the Thai authorities. Will he learn from this? I hope not from an entertainment point of view. Some comedy gold in the comments section. One way to sort this out properly is to return to the UK and sort out his IDP. The only other option is to apply for a full Thai drivers licence. All because the man couldn't be arsed to do proper research.

Step 1:
  1. Passport with valid visa (original and copies of the first page, last entry, and visa page).
  2. Certificate of Residency from immigration or a Thai work permit.
  3. Medical Certificate from a Thai hospital or clinic (valid for 30 days).
  4. Photos if requested by the DLT office (some DLT offices take photos on-site).
Step 2: Complete DLT e-Learning for First-Time Applicants

Step 3: Booking an Appointment at the DL
Appointments are necessary for processing your application. Use the DLT’s online booking system to select a convenient date and time.

Step 4: The Process at the Department of Land Transport (DLT)
On the day of your appointment, ensure you have all required documents and your e-learning certificate. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Document Verification: DLT officers will review your documents and verify that everything is in order.
  2. Vision and Reflex Tests: Applicants must pass basic tests, including color recognition, depth perception, and reflex checks.
  3. Theory Test: You’ll be required to take a multiple-choice theory exam based on Thai traffic rules.
  4. Practical Driving Test: Applicants must demonstrate their driving skills on a course at the DLT center.
If you pass both the theory and practical tests, the DLT will issue your Thai driving license on the same day.

Step 5: Receiving Your Thai Driving License

After completing all steps, you will receive your driving license. For foreigners, this license is usually valid for 2 years initially. After this period, you may renew it for a 5-year license.

Tips for a Smooth Thai Driving License Application

  1. Arrive Early: The DLT can get busy, especially in Bangkok, so arriving ahead of your appointment can save time.
  2. Dress Appropriately: Some DLT offices have dress codes. Avoid shorts, sleeveless tops, and open-toed shoes.
  3. Be Prepared for Thai Language Content: Most signage and instructions at the DLT are in Thai, so it may help to bring a translator or Thai-speaking friend if you are unfamiliar with the language.

I would guess he's taken it down owing to all the negative comments he was getting. Not because he was wrong. God forbid he ever admitted to that.

The large Master has put a video out saying he admits he is wrong but is angry with all the negative comments. I see lots of his obsessive fans sticking up for him too, critical thinking is non existent to that lot.

Here’s the thing DJ, how about taking some accountability for your curt responses, lazy videos, deleting comments and hiding users from your channel?

There is a way to behave and if your community has become so toxic take a long hard look at yourself because it starts with you and no amount of censoring in your favour is going to cover that up!

Knowing some of the reprobates there. They will happily grass the Fatmaster to the feds. The whole town will be pissing themselves over this.

Wonder if DJ will vlog this place next?

Hopefully the Soi 6/1 ladyboy's he likes so much will have loosened him up!! 😉

Yes, posted a video on the pretext of admitting he was wrong, but it was really a moan fest from him about all the negative comments.

After his food vlogs only showing good venues, he now only wants good comments. Quickly becoming unwatchable.

I'd say a must watch.
It's like watching a car crash in slow motion on Groundhog Day.

He still refuses admit he's been a pillock by not bothering to research how to obtain a IDP. According to DJ its the fault of the PPs for not offering this service in the 5 PPs he visited. PPs official website points out that not all PPs offer this service. It then publishes a list of participating outlets.

After going into hiding DJs a lickers are swarming all over his response video. I notice he is also pinning the best DJ fanboys comments to force them to the top of the page. Whats the matter with some people these days, where criticism and piss taking becomes hatred. Oh please!

He was advised multiple times to take this down as he has alienated many people due to being curt and using the ban hammer. He has made enemies and incentivised them to report them to to the Thai authorities. Thailand has very strict defamation laws. How does DJ respond? He announces he is banning more people. You couldn't make this up.

This is how he operates. I made a mistake, but it was someone else's fault. His lack of self awareness, and arrogance, makes him very unlikeable.
Very abrasive and pompous. The passive aggressive replies to comments don't help. I can see why his employer's didn't want him.
Will continue to make mistakes, and bad judgements, because he thinks he knows better.

“I got told to delete that video, I don’t want to get into trouble or upset anyone” he says, proving he’s way out of his depth with this whole thing!

Part of me wonders whether this is all fake and has been planned to gain subscribers and he’s only there on an extended holiday and will be back before the year is out blaming it on “cultural differences” or some such crap.

This is the problem with influencers/vloggers, I always say if you’re willing to put yourself out there in the public domain and create content then expect people to have an opinion. What is it with these people making stuff, then we voice ours opinions or concerns and they can’t stand it and always make a video about the “haters”.

Why be an influencer/vlogger if you don’t like people having contrasting opinions to your own? I honestly don’t get it.

'Come on guys....'. It's this 'we're doing all this for you why are you being critical?' attitude a lot of the crappy youtubers have (Butlers, Trolls to name only two).

Just to remind you Darren in your case it was to enable you to retire to Thailand (although the way things are going you'll be frogmarched out of the country with your arms up your back before too long).
