is the METV = Multi Entry Tourist Visa?

Is like the old double entry tv's that people were getting from cambodia and loas before? Where they stayed 60 days then could go to local immigration and extend for 30 days then cross the broader for another 60 days then extend for 30 more days?

Or are they for one year???

How many days is the single entry visa good for?

Thanks for your help

Got a friend trying to find out if a filipino can still get a double entry tourist visa Laos or Cambodia possible?

Thanks

This is my reply to this topic http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/780582-house-in-name-of-foreigner-does-mortgage-matter/

1. You need to find out usually for the amount of money that you want to spend on a house, how many years the loan repayment will be, then you need to find out how likely it is that you will live longer than the repayment of the loan.

If you are likely to live longer than the loan repayment then forget your current plan.

If you are not likely to outlive the loan repayment then you need to adjust your plan by telling your wife that you will split the cost 50/50 meaning that you will pay 50% of the deposit, then each month you will pay 50% of the monthly loan payment, so do not pay anything up front other than only 50% of the deposit, if you want some form of security in this!

But even then you must keep in mind that you are only renting! And you must not spend more than you can walk away from like if you were renting!

But also remember that this is still no guarantee that she will not cheat on you behind your back in the future.

2. IF you want your OWN house then do not involve your wife in the deal and do not find any land around her family.

You need to find someone else that is not related to your wife or even any type of a friend of your wife, that can either buy the land you want in cash or can get a loan and buy some empty vacant land.

Then once all the paperwork is done and the deed/title is in their name.

Then you need to find out if it is possible to get a usufruct "see the ask the lawyer section for the thai wording for usufruct" for this land and in the usufruct agreement you will pay the monthly loan payments until the loan is paid off then you will not pay any more for the life of the usufruct.

Then after you have the usufruct, then get a builder to build a house on the land

Then you have to make an announcement in the newspaper as above for 30 days to see if anyone objects or makes claims to the land. Then you go back to land office and get a title for the house which will prove that you own the house but not the land. But you have the usufruct giving you the right to use the land.

If you involve your wife or any of her relatives or close friends in the land deal and everything goes wrong in the future then you may have papers saying that you own the house but her relatives/friends/etc could persuade you to leave town or you could die unexpectedly.

So either go 50/50 ONLY if you can walk away from what you are paying or find someone else that is not her relatives, friends, etc and do not get land near her relatives and you should be ok, IF you have a valid long term visa plan in place.

Zeekgarcia. thank you for the measurements. That is 7 inches lower than my 4x4.

Two question: what kind of cab is it, Spacecab, singlecab or 4 door? manual or auto? tell me about accidents with the car?

Thank you.

sent PM already

For the record a 2012 top G model Toyota vigo champ that is not a prerunner but is the standard height model, that has the 3.0 turbo diesel engine and is 4 door is about 71 cm or 28 in from the ground to the tailgate when the tailgate is down.

Why not buy the truck you want, need, & have the suspension modified... lowered ?

I think you'll find the suspension mods will be less expensive than power up mods.

Just a thought.

Cheers..... Mal.

I was going to do this as you can find prerunners & dmaxs all day long but the places I asked about lowering a prerunner or a dmax said that I would notice a difference in handling ability and I would be better off buying a standard height truck. Which is rare and even more rare finding one that is an automatic but I finally found one in good condition and bought it.

Thanks heaps IMHO. I found only a couple Champ models with the 3.0 motor, most had the 2.5. Sadly the two with the 3.0 liters were tall 4x4 and a Prerunner model. I greatly appreciate the model name. Tracking down which model fits my specs is the awkward thing. What website are you using that lists all the relevant specs for truck models here in Thailand? I laughed when I went to the Toyota site and clicked on specs and the only engine detail I got was the liter size. Like you noted most of the lower stance trucks have the smaller motors.

Maoro12 - Yes tuning my truck is not out of the question and I hear the Isuzu motors respond the best to modifications.

Any other models to add to this list:

Toyota 3.0 Champ

Isuzu Dmax 3.0 SLX

I'm not looking at a website, I'm accessing the co. database

The bottom line is, look for >= 3.0L versions to get the power you want. Yes, these will be rare, as most people spend the extra money to step up models, rather than step up the capacity.

I remember when we were looking for this same kind of truck that it is a rare find but we have a 2012 Toyota vigo champ top G model, 4 door, 3.0 turbo diesel standard height model that is what he is looking for or if anyone else is interested please let me know as we need to buy a van.

I sent you a PM about my 2012 top G model Toyota vigo champ which is not a prerunner but is the lowest height truck that toyota makes. It has the 3.0 turbo diesel engine and is 4 door. The only reason we want to sell it is because we need a van.

Let me know if you need more information about it and I can PM you or just post it here. Thanks

I am needing to buy an official Windows 7 cd/dvd with an official license, is there anywhere in CM still selling them?

Thanks

What year is yours and how long have you had it?

How many kms does yours have or did have before you sold it?

I am looking for any input about a Toyota Ventury.

What problems have you had with it?

Have you had problems getting parts to repair it?

Have you been able to have it serviced anywhere?

Have you driven it on muddy roads during rainy season? How did it do?

Does it have enough horse power for the size of the van?

Can you park it in parking decks and underground parking?

Any other information or anything that I should watch out for?

Would you recommend this van to someone else?

Thanks

Any recommendations for external speaker for my android tablet?

Are there any for 500 THB or less?

A rechargeable speaker would be great.

Can be wired, wireless, or bluetooth but do not want to spend more than 500 thb if possible if not then no more than 1,000 thb.

Is your gutter clogged with leaves or something so that it does not drain properly? That would probably be the first thing to check if the"leaking" is near the gutter.

the gutter is clean. Need someone that knows what they are doing to come look at the situation and fix it.

Roof Problems: the main problem is leaking at the roof and gutter area and need a competent repair person near the chiang mai - hang dong road and samoeng intersection area. The roof is the cheap typical roofing sheets that are about 4 foot long but are not steel more like a fiberglass clay mixture?

Hopefully someone knows a competent repair person that has reasonable charges. Thanks

We gave up on finding someone to clean as we found out that people will not clean like we want it cleaned meaning scrubbing everything down that is dirty or grimy until the dirt and grime is gone. We found out that some people think if you sweep a floor, use a scrub brush in some areas, and mop then its clean, even though alot of things are still dirty and grimy like light switches etc.

Chiang Mai Cleaning Company. Used them a few years ago, very good job.

Emailed them before I posted here and they do not do residential houses anymore.

I used a company twice after a build. They come down the outside on harness to clean windows etc. a team stays in and cleans every inch. Both houses were over 400 sqm and the cost was 10K should I try to find their contacts inf

Yes please try to find their info.

My Thai neighbor uses a company twice a year for a very thorough cleaning of their very large house. Several people come in a large van with lots of industrial supplies, they do the windows, clean the couches (leave them outside to sun-dry), etc. I believe they charge around 8,500 THB. I posted their contact info in the past when someone had a similar request.

I tried to find your post about this but could not as I could not find a way to search your posts so I went through around 20 pages of your 40+ pages of posts and could not find anything. If you remember or can find this company please let me know. Thanks

Is that one day only,one day per week? its going to take more than one

cleaner to clean a house to the standards i think you are looking for,also

they would not stay long ,if you are really fussy,if its a one off job,look in

tele yellow pages,for cleaning companies,like those that clean the malls

etc, ,if you are looking for a one day a week cleaner expect to pay 500

THB per day,but they are not easy to find,and your location may not help.

regards worgeordie

We are only looking for someone to clean the house one time and it should only take one day to do it as no one is living in the house at this time.

We are looking for someone who will really be detailed and really deep clean a house for one day near the Samoeng Intersection on Chiang Mai Hang Dong road.

Any recommendations feel free to post or PM and about how much this would cost?

Edit: We are only looking for someone to clean this house one time and it should only take one day as no one is living in the house right now.
