Motorcycle Insurance Thailand

when renting a motorcycle in Thailand do you need a motorbike license? and do you need to get insurance?
I’m 19 and have a UK driving license
No you dont nead a licence, but if you dont have one and you have an accident no matter whos fault it is YOU will be liable and as a foreigner you will have to pay a lot of money if you hit a Thai person. 200 baht for not wearing a helmit, and 200 baht for no licence at the police stop. If police stop you just tell them you left it at home.
Thai motor bike rentor want you to fall off or damage the’re bike so you have to PAY lol so be carefull and keep your eyes in the back of your head coz the’re aint no road rules in Thailand. Beautiful place though and if your a good boy beautiful people too.
If police stop you just smile and be polite and call the officer pee, respect for older or higher status.
