I would go for a Nuvi Garmin with ESRI Maps. (Hassle free and the best map for Thailand)

You can see if it's done by ESRI, by looking at the following:

1- During start up the GPS will give you info about the installed Map's (look for GIS DATA (ESRI))

2- In Settings, System there is an about button, click that and you will find info about the MAPS (Again look for ESRI (btw latest version is 12.1)

3- On the back of the GPS there should be a sticker, which says Certified by ESRI Thailand.

Also have a look at http://www.eaglegps.co.th/ and you can orientate yourself a bit on the devices that are available (Look for Nuvi http://www.eaglegps.co.th/index.php/lang-en/car-navigation)

best solution:

money can solve anything in the LOS.

go to any driving school. (not those in inner bangkok, get those around the eastern bangkok, from klong tan to minburi)

talk to the person-in-charge who will most likely charge you 3-5kb for the driving license.

no test, nothing needed to be done. you just go there and take a photo for your driving license.

At a lot of DLT's this practice doesn't work anymore. My friend tried it (through a Driving School) (and he even went up as far as 10k) but no joy. DLT wouldn't accept it.

But after 3 days of failed Theory and Practical exams he got his license (and he only paid DLT's standard Fees)

My friend uses S85 in his Garden and is definitely good stuff (But wear protective gloves while spraying). But he says that (especially now (with the rains)) that he needs to spray at least once a week.

Here pictures of S85 and Chaindrite, so you know what to look for.

Yes that's normal that your Old Tm Card is still in your passport. Mine is already 1.5 years in my passport as I haven't left the country. You need the TM Card when leaving the country, that's why it's called "Departure card"

Tastes like heaven smells like hell

I have the google thailand english version bookmarked. Yesterday and today, when I use that link I end up with securesignupoffers.net

Anyone else?

Has it been hacked/hijacked?

I have google.co.th as my Home Page and I had the same problem yesterday. Good to know that I wasn't the only one.

I even scanned my PC with 3 different AV rescue CD's.

But today everything seemed fine.

In USA, cable channel #36, the Versus Channel ....

The only (Free) channel in Thailand I think that transmits the live coverage is Euro Sport.

What's Facebook?

That reminds me of this song (just replace Alice with Facebook

Bor Pen Yang restaurant and Bar, right on the River. Nice place to relax

They have found the car now anyway ........ http://www.pattayada...und-in-bangkok/

Isn't this a bit strange ?

Mr.Thitipan tried to open the car with a spare key but to no avail. A locksmith arrived and opened the car.

Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.

That is the size of my Bathroom

I think it maybe it's because Thai Culture is different then the Western Culture.

If you marry here, then you marry also her Family, and the allowance could be used for sending money to the family.

But I could be wrong.

What is the purpose of wanting certificate of residence?

If is is to stay longer in Thailand (if I've read your post correctly) I'm afraid you will need a bit more than that including Visas and financials.

A certificate of residence does not extend your stay beyond your visa expiry date.

More info required me thinks!!

The OP needs one for obtaining a drivers license.

I have never been checked at the border, but there are always military post just before the border, and they stop a lot of cars and they do checks for Duty Free goods.

If you entered on May 5th you should do your new 90 day report on or near Friday, 03 August, 2012

I remember when TMN started, it had fabulous sports, news and film channels, now it's crap, same boring ads and interviews, poor sports (unless u like golf and tennis) yesterday nearly all movies black and white.Seems all they want to do is sell their de-coders, still makes me get off my butt and get out of the flat

True, my friend has it in his new house, but he wanted Sophon, but they insisted that his village doesn't even exists.

So he got TMN, but now Sophon is available and he wants to change, but now he can't anymore because TMN has 2 Chinese / Thai series Channel (Channel 4 & 5) and his wife loves these...

You need to go to Immigration first to get a Certificate of Residence. Costs around THB 200.

You may also need a letter or a name card from the Hotel / Apartment where you are staying. (This is for Immigration)

Note: After the 1 yr license is finished, you will need to have a Non-O visa to get a 5 yr license, if you don't have the Non-O visa, they will only give you another 1 yr License.

Or a Non B.

Or a Non ED, Non F, Non "IB", etc etc to be complete

Here's the new notice posted on the door today:

If anyone reads that and they still join they must be a little

Cheap life time memberships are probably part of the problem.

Annual fees are a more sustainable business model so overtime fees can increase in line with general costs.

Of course these cheap life time memberships are a quick way to generate immediate cash flow but at the expense of longer term financial returns.

I don't think they lose by offering lifetime memberships in a place like Pattaya. Most of the lifetime members probably wouldn't have joined at full price and there's a huge drop out rate.

True, and in whole honesty, I admit I paid 15k for a life time membership and I only went twice This was 'bout 3 years ago.

Instead of criticising...how about some praise...Thais normally do not think in advance like that....so I believe he deserves some credit

But he should have thought in advance that he can't tell the police that the key was inserted as this will void his theft insurrance.

Don't you (when your car gets stolen) have to show the two original keys to be able to claim theft insurance ?

OK, it's clear that you never scammed an insurance company.You must be a newbie

I didn't have to as my cars are always in my wife's name

I didn't do it she did

I did the Ban Laem one, Had Lek is too far out.

But I went on a Visa Run, never drove myself. The border we went to was in full swing, with all of the amenities (duty free) etc.

(I have to note that this was around 2 years ago (haven't done a border run since), so things could have changed in the mean time, other members may have more current info.

Maybe he thought, "I'm the son of someone important and nobody will dare to steal my car (even with the key in the ignition)".
