Yes but they drag them up the beach when the tide is out for repairs and general maintenance, Sorry were you talking about the converted motorcycle chassis used for dragging the boats up the beach or did you mean the wooden trailers, The trailers are quite heavy and have wheels and axles so they don't float.Awesome, Thanks Geoff. One question, don't the wooden boats float?
LOL....very true. I went full beard too.....Not a great picture, I was on Skype in my hotel room in Bahrain. But you get the idea. Everyone says I Look like Obidiah (Jeff bridges, Ironman). I just need a suit to complete the look.

Is it expensive to get? You make it sound like people don't always get it. Do you get checked for it?This is my Thailand Shipping licence, I have to renew every year they love paperwork over here you have to take all your details with you such as when you entered Thailand/Owners dwelling paperwork/Proof of where you live from Immigration/Photos/Passport/Proof of Boat ownership/Boat importation documents and every Boat owner is supposed to have one of these, Thought i would just let you see one as maybe many of you would have never seen one before, I have taken the Boat out of the water and in the process of giving it a good once over and it gives me a little time to get to Bangkok to update this post with some more Photos etc as i know some of you find it interesting and although i can use the Boat it's the rainy season now for a few weeks so i use it as an excuse to get a few jobs done.

No it's just a matter of filling in the forms and providing the relevant information and then as usual over here waiting, They love paperwork Ken it keeps them in a job, Many foreigners don't always show enough respect and if anyone here wears a uniform they are regarded as important, When you go to the office to obtain your Licence and you show respect and manners you never have trouble, Problem is many foreigners think they own Thailand and that the office staff are there to be abused, It just means they are made to wait and produce more information, Usual thing ken Ounce of thought to a pound of thrust, I can be in and out of there in 20 minutes many wait all day and have to return tomorrow to try again and wonder what's wrong and get mad with staff so they're made to go through it all over again and the staff smile at them, Manners and respect cost nothing but can save you a lot, It costs about $20 per year.
The more you get down to basics in Thailand the better the Country becomes, People never really see Thailand when they come on Package tours they only see the Tourist places, Some times you need to dip you feet a little further into the water, Let me know when you come and where your staying and if your not to far away maybe we can meet up!I love reading your posts Geoff. Last April I visited Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam and had the time of my life. I fell in love with Thailand though. So much I liked about that country to put into a small post. Seriously considering another trip this fall. We will see!
No comments on the thigh pic from page before..? i am disappointed.. love u long timecool pics.. did you just decide to take off and retire over there?
Sorry i don't understand the first part of your reply maybe you can enlighten me, I had been coming here for a while for long Holidays and then decided to come and retire here.
OOOOH sorry when you said the page before i thought you meant this post i have searched previous pages on this post trying to see what you meant, That was a different post it was Boats and Babes Eye Candy i really don't think there was any need for comments many liked the way the shot was taken and expressed that, Just one of the many beautiful sights here in Thailand to be appreciated and enjoyed, But thanks for taking the time to check it out i will put some more on there soon as the rainy season finishes in a few weeks.The lady you had on the boat. The little ass shot i noticed in one of them.
