Why you all fighting? 40k is ~ 1k euro its not hard to make that money/month or in case someone not working, just get non "O" visa and that's it, no money required.

There are some stories how some people lost all money and then work in Thailand for few 100 thb just to buy food. No visa, no wp or other thing required by law.

Now talking on TV about all that. They can but other people cannot work ? Where is the difference? 

This is what interest me to.

Lets say you "work", example:

Building websites, Selling online 3D models made in 3D studio, Youtube partner (get paid by Google), Play games and get paid by doing so, Manager of some company who are not required to stay in the office, Sell on eBay (you sell at your home but decided to come to Thailand for 1-2 or more months) ...... and so on and so on.

So by this logic, as soon as you enter Thailand you are in violation of the law, or... ?

Can someone explain this to me and anyone who wish to know?

Edit:  I found out that you are not allowed to even wash your car or some other stupid "work" so by that logic , are you allowed even to carry bags from 7/11? You have to pay someone to carry for you?

I believe the reasoning is due to the hight duty and tax...

The duty and tax acts as base to which the value of car's 'blue book value' is added

So let's say you buy a car for 1 million THB new ...

Let's say that 400,000 is tax and 600,000 is 'car value'

Then let's say when time to sell, 'car value' is now 300,000...

2nd hand car price... 300,000 + 400,000 = 700,000 selling price for second hand car

What duties are you referring to?

"I will sell your car but give me some (allot) of sale money."

Sorry? that seems totally incomprehensible to me.

One person ask another to sell car for him. That person will want some money, and that is not little. If you have 2-3 hands, that price will go up.

If you want second hand car and know what you doing, get it directly from seller/owner.

Why are many things so expensive in Thailand? Wages are lower, costs are lower, VAT is lower, many vendors sit around all day doing little and selling less yet prices are often higher. It's magical.

As for vehicles, many people seem to be saying that resale prices have taken a hit since the ill-conceived new car tax break. I dont know if that is true or not, or what effect it really has on pick-ups when the tax break was only for small cars for first-timers.

I do think that the more middle-men you can avoid in Thailand the better off you will be. They all like to take a big cut and there can be more than one of them involved in a transaction.

Despite the fact that the 'first time buyer' scam scheme was aimed at small car buyers, it has drastically hit the second-hand car market for all models. Just two weeks ago, I asked for a valuation on my three-year-old Camry Extremo and was given a price of THB 600,000, despite the fact that it had cost me THB 1,350,000.

Having bought, and subsequently traded in, a Honda Civis prior to the first-time-buyer fiasco, I was able to get over 80% of the original cost back after 24 months. In the absence of the destruction of the second-hand car market, I would have expected around THB 750,000-800,000 for my Camry.

So, in answer to the OP, second-hand cars are now nowhere near as expensive as they used to be; indeed, I am now looking out for a low mileage 'repo' from the first-time-buyer scheme.

You asked for valuation at second hand car dealer ? If yes, then I'm 99% sure that he will add some, so total price will be 900.000. Trust me

I bought new Hilux 2009 for 640.000 thb (new limited edition). So, because of problems in my family back at home I had to sell it. I got 500.000 thb for 1.5 year old car with 30.000 km . There is no way I could get that in Croatia.

Now I have New Mirage for 2 years now. Before purchase of Mirage I was looking at second hand cars in the same class. New Nissan was (just an example, don't know exact price) 500.000 thb and 1 year old same car with 10.000 km was 490.000 thb

By some logic it is better to add little and get brand new car. My opinion.

Thank you guys.

Hi guys. I don't post much on forum but I read often.

Question is, Is money on saving account fine for marriage visa if I put for saving 1 or more years or I need normal account?

I ask because I want that money to generate some income while it sits in bank.

Sorry for bad English.

Thanks in advance.

Short answer : No, but there will be problem with interior.

Good job by the dems and PDRC to prevent payment!

there just rice farmers, why whould they change their colors and care now?

HAHAHA. Someone is trolling? Open your eyes Dude.

The burning of trash, grass, and whatever is disgusting. I have lived in a beautiful northern little village for 13 years. I have never burned garbage or grass; only a "campfire" sometimes so we can keep warm etc. As a teacher, I proudly compost for my garden, and recycle and "show it off" to my neighbours. Burning is totally unnecessary and stupid. Children and elders have annual respiratory problems during the dry season; the the smoke especially with breeze contaminats freshly laundered clothes drying and clean homes. I asked a wealthy neighbour why she is burning on the ski one morning and mentioned that it is unhealthy and not polite. Of course all she could say was "mai bpehn rai" and continued. People that burn their garbage - especially plastics are stupid, ignorant, lazy, impolite, shortsighted, rude and perhaps all of the above. Burning is totally not necessary. It is easier to not burn. (cough cough cough). Recycle, compost, and feel better that you are not contributing to Thailand's worsening air pollution (and garbage) problem. )) and hey, I think I checked some years ago, and burning is actually illegal! - but "mai bhen rai nakhrap!"

Finally someone with brain. I agree 100%

The worst thing is they seem to purposely make fires that mainly generate smoke and therefore take a very long time to burn, surely a fire with real flames would burn quicker and with less smoke!

Yes! This is real problem.

Hello.

Im very curious why thai people keep making fire, more smoke than fire actually, in the evening mostly?

I live in Korat province and when I go out of my house for 1 hour of cycling, sometimes I cannot breathe how much smoke is around.

I really don't get it.
