Have a question as to what type of visa to get. I live in Thailand and still work offshore , usual cycle is 1 month to 6 weeks working out of Thailand, come back to Thailand for 2 weeks and repeat the cycle. As I'm over 50, have been getting the non -o , or retirement visa. My non-o expired in July, and have been coming back on visa exempt. I was thinking of just getting 6 month tourist visa with multiple entries instead on the non-o. Any suggestions ? Also, can I buy and register a new motorbike in my name.

Need help on which long term stay visa to get. Currently using "retirement " visa multiple entry option. US citizen with US passport, age 60 and renting 2 homes on yearly lease. I work for major US Company and make well over 80K USD per year. I usually work from 2 to3 months outside Thailand , come back for 3 weeks and repeat the cycle. Also have international company health insurance. Should I continue to use the yearly retirement visa, with multiple entry , or apply for the new Long Term Stay visa. If using that option I would assume to use the wealthy pensioner option ? If I'm reading it correct I would apply one time and I would be ok for 10 years ? Have no plans to return to the states, and plan on leaving my job in 2 years.

Can anyone recommend a dealer in Bangkok that sells Honda Motorbikes ? I'm looking for Click 150i and would like to pay by credit card if possible to get cash back rewards on my card. I live in Kanchanaburi, but the small dealers here don't have a 150i in stock.

Kanchanaburi, The city has everything you need, yet cross the river and it's rural Thailand with small villages, rice fields, and mountains. Inexpensive housing, a small strip of bars , and World War 2 history.

Having some friends from the states stay at my home for 10 days in October. I would assume I would take them to immigration office and do the TM 30 there. Any other concerns I need to know ? I have 3 bedroom house and they will be staying in one of the spare bedrooms.

Any shop such as Cockpit will be able to do basic service and maintenance . Spare parts such as Oil/Air Filters , wiper blades, brake pads can still be sourced OEM, and aftermarket. Any other hard parts that might be needed, can be ordered from the states via amazon, and Rock Auto. Will usually take about 2 to 3 weeks. Being model year 2019, it will be quite a while before any major work will be needed. The only issue on parts would be if the vehicle was involved in accident and needed body parts, Most likely the shops in Bangkok would have used parts. Any decent mechanic with a good diagnostic tool, AKA computer will be able to troubleshoot driveabilty issues, and parts such as map sensors, idle air motor, and other sensors can be ordered via Rock Auto via the states. I would even suggest you maybe even buy your own diagnostic tool, they not that expensive and easy to use , just plug the cable into the 16 pin connecter under the dash, and follow the screen prompts. Even a basic tool with give you codes and point you and your mechanic in the right direction. I used to be a aircraft mechanic and car mechanic in the states, and brought some of my more higher end diagnostic tools with me to check on my on vehicles. The model you are looking at , has no major recalls or safety issues listed on the websites in the states. Bottom line, if you like it, buy it , it's a good looking truck and would be fun to drive.

My Thai visa , Non-0 Retirement visa expired July 7th. I would assume I would get a 30 day visa exempt on arrival ? I do plan to renew it but not this trip. If needed, I have 2 US Passports and could use the one which doesn't have the expired visa.

I'm in Thailand now, I really don't want to fly all the back just to withdrawl money

In May I will be buying a vehicle in Thailand and need to transfer 13,000 USD dollars to Thailand. My bank in the states will only do international wire transfer If I go into the branch in the states. Not wanting to fly all the to the states , my thought is to transfer the to Bangkok Bank in New York City, which I can do online, then could I transfer the funds to my local Bangkok Branch in Thailand where I have a account ?

They can make up the fantasy numbers they want, let's be real, with Cambodia opening fully on Nov 15th, why would a real tourist go through all the Thailand pass, paperwork, insurance, and etc, when they can enter Cambodia, take a 15 onsite test, and go. Besides all the bars are open, and Phnom Penh is getting busy again. Thailand , take notes, this is how you open a country.

This Prime Minster is VERY anti-alcohol. He is an avid tea drinker and ultra Buddhist. Read the bio, and reports on this guy. This is his chance to ban alcohol, and along with it the bars, girls, etc, and replace them with tea houses and coffee bars. In effect, transforming Thailand's nightlife into a 'family friendly " atmosphere.

I have 200 cc , and ride it on the side roads in Kanchanaburi , and never had an issue with the police. When I bought it from the dealer they told me no plate was needed and the police would not pull me over, So far they have been correct.

100 percent correct. I travel for work and was just in Mexico City, everything open, and people having fun and enjoying life. Same when I was in Cairo , and Tbilisi. Show you vaccination card, and off you go. Thailand has to understand, this virus is never going away, time to accept that and get out and live again.

This is very simple, this "government "does not want the country to open. They want the tourist economy to fail. When that happens they can attempt to remold the country from a cheap backpacker destination, to high class world French Riviera , which we all know will never happen. Read the American and British intelligence dossier on this Prime Minster. He HATES alcohol, bars, and the girly bars. Why do you think they want to reinvent Pattaya ? This guy is avid Tea drinker and ultra right Buddha. This virus is a godsend to his cause. Close all the bars, message shops, and shut down the girls, and get ready for all the private jets, and yachts. Of course who will benefit from all this ? Not the woman selling Leo, and street food that is for sure. We are taking about a virus with a less than 1 percent fataliy rate, and not to mention the rise in pneumonia caused by wearing a cloth over your nose and mouth. Thailand is a cheap exotic backpacker destination, forgot your jets and yachts, and high spenders, concentrate on what made Thailand what it is. Get rid of the COE, ASQ, and all that bu**s*it. Open the country up, like Mexico, Georgia, Norway, and more. Don't make it a crime to have beer or glass of wine and watch the sunset, or go to bar and buy couple drinks for a bar girl so she can afford to eat that night, AND don't treat me like have ebola, I'm vaccinated , and tested negative, I have more of chance of GETTING than GIVING the virus. Let me come back and spend my money with the local Thais, and help them as you don't give a damm about their welfare.

So what if you got your vaccination overseas ? Or will you have to get again in Thailand ?

Here is scheme idea, learn and accept Covid is never going away. Open the country to those who are fully vaccinated, no COE, no quarantine, and not be tracked like a wanted felon.

Have flown Qatar many times to the states. Always first class service in all classes and Doha airport is like a 5 star hotel. Like someone said you always fly to Doha, that is Qatar's hub. Also remember in aviation routes the jet stream at altitude also effect the time of flying, Sometimes the longest route is the quickest. Try Qatar, you will not be disappointed.

For those of us who have been vaccinated outside of Thailand , I would assume we would show our vaccination card ?

Bought a used Car on Facebook Market Place, gave the Thai who owned it the money, He gave me the blue book. Went to the Tax office with Thai that speaks English, was in and out in 1 hour, no issues. Like some have said, if you have no mechanical background, maybe find someone who can inspect the car for you before you buy it.
