Hypothetically speaking if you had a ford ranger and nissan almera - where would you sell them to get the best deal?

Hi All,

Not looking for opinions on tax or other countries tax issues

Would very much appreciate a referral for an english speaking personal tax accountant in Chiang Mai.  Preferably one who understands capital gains and has experience dealing with Farang and sales of Thai LTD companies

Thank you

SM

Hi All,

Thanks for the constructive and thoughtful replies.

Yes - Both expats.  What's the Wall?

Expat couple divorcing in Chiang Mai with kids - They need a professional mediator or negotiator to help them settle their affairs outside of the legal system

A couple of names have been recommended to them already but these mediators are no longer working here.

If you have any names suggestions, greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I was there to renew my drivers license on January 8th, 2021.  They informed me that the mandatory drivers Ed course has now been cancelled due to covid.

So no Drivers License Renewals now.

Further informed me that my license was good for 1 year after the expiry date and I didn't have to worry - fingers crossed.

Thanks @captainjackSActually had already visited there.  They had the lamp rod stock, but didn't have the right fixtures. 

Great Store

Hi All,

Anyone know a shop that would have 1/4" lamp rod and E27 threaded 60W sockets?

If you were going to build a lamp from scratch, this shop would have the stuff to do it
( Or in my case if you were trying to "FIX" a lamp and now you need to rebuild it all from scratch )

Lamp rod is usually 1/4" Hollow pipe threaded in NPT

E27 is a standard socket for a lamp that threads onto the pipe. Most large lamps are made out of these two parts.

Tried Lazada, Shoppee,  Global, HomePro, Amorn

Any other Ideas?

Thanks

We are currently dealing with Thaiconch as mentioned by mcm991 above, they are located on the middle ring road https://goo.gl/maps/shdpjXoSfVv they have REHAU a very good German brand, the lady, Khun Oe has been very good so far and speaks reasonably good English, they have many options.

 

It is certainly not cheap though, but it is certainly true, you get what you pay for! 

Thank you for link - Their website was hacked and there's no contact details online anymore. I spoke to them on the phone, the lady seemed very nice and quoted some decent sounding prices. They apparently have 2 brands, German and Chinese windows.

Curtain Shop - Khun Win has a separate company called 'Mr Window'.  Speaks good english, came the very next day and took measurements and did a quote within hours.  Very impressed with service and communication so far.

Hi All,

In the search for similar windows in Chiang Mai  myself.  The only type they had at Global was some with ugly metal bars on them.

Will visit the Curtain shop on the corner of Mahidol Rd today and see what they have to say. 

Has anyone else had any luck finding a contractor in town that can source and install these windows?  I'm looking at a smaller job 5-10 windows on the road facing side of the house

Thank you

SM

Anybody know what happened to these guys?  Are they still in business?  Their URL is dead now.

1. You friend will not be allowed to do the crossing because she will not have a valid visa for re-entry to the country. They do not allow crossing for a new visa exempt entry.

They might however allow her to leave if she had a visa for Myanmar.

2. You will get a new 90 day entry (not an extension) when you re-enter the country. You need nothing more than your passport and 500 baht for the border pass for Myanmar.

Thank you for the straight forward info.

On your answer to #2,

Question 3:

Should I be getting a Myanmar Visa for myself, wife and child to do this Border Run? Or will they allow me to do the exit and re-entry with my current no-imm visa only?

The main problem is that we have to do a border run for our new 90 day entry during her visit - and by the way this sounds we will have to ditch the family member with the exempt stamp for a day or two which is not ideal. We want to travel together which brings me to the follow up question:

Question# 4

Can we get a new '90 day entry' or extension of our existing entry at immigration in Chiang Mai?

Thanks again for all the great info.

SM

Hello All,

I have family here that is visiting from a G-7 country. She received a 30 day visa exemption good until January 19th, 2016.

I also know that "Visa Runs" - ie getting visa exempt stamps at land crossings is not normal practice anymore.

Question 1:

If we cross the border at Mae Sai and spend a day or two there will said family member be issued a visa exempt entry on return? She doesn't need another 30 days only a week or so extra and will be departing before January 19th (expiration of original stamp). So in this sense its not a really a 'Visa Run', more like a tourism exit and entry if that distinction even matters.

Question 2:

Will they issue another 90 day extension at the land border crossing on our existing visas? ie a typical "Border Run" to Mae Sai. If so, do they require any documentation at the border to issue this?

Thanks for your helpful input and experiences

Regards,

SM

Truevalue got back to me. They have one weber BBQ in stock, and will no longer be carrying them. Instead they now carry a Canadian brand called Napolean. The BBQs look great but are all priced north of 30,000.

Rgs,

SM

Truevalue really made me angry one day, i'll never go back. They have a very crappy manager who thinks she is quite something. If i pay much then i want good service. Everything i bought there is broken allready, within warrantytime but i don't care anymore. I only like made in Japan or Germany.

Yes why Truevalue won't show the price online? Isn't that funny? Also they claim you can order any product they sell in the USA and get it delivered to their branche close to you, that sure doesn't work. It's just another crappy american shop, far overpriced.

Maybe you can buy one online and pay all duty's, probably is still cheaper then buying in Thailand.

Well now theres an idea. I'v been cruising websites in North America, and you can pick up a very nice, very capable Broil King that has more functions, and is probably the same if not better quality than anything i've seen here - and all for roughly 13,000 baht. The only unknown is what the shipping, duty and taxes would be to get it over.

Maybe I can bring it on a plane next time I visit

Hey thanks for all the interest in this thread - Maybe we can start another thread where people can discuss the finer points of charcoal vs gas and how to smoke your meat?

Really want to eek out all of the producers / Importers of BBQs in this country. There has to be something better than what I've seen so far. It just doesn't make sense that that every single store has the same BBQ types and design. IT seems like they are all knock offs of eachother.

I don't want a sideburner, I just want a moderately priced 3 burner grill with no frills.

I dont want stainless steel, I just want cast iron grills.

I dont want an tiny immovable warming rack, i want the full sized warming rack that moves with the lid like every other BBQ in existence.

Today I emailed Truevalue, i cant get any prices off their website.

I got one from here

http://bbqthai.com

excellent service, warranty and free delivery.
(and they speak English)

I was in their store today. They carry some great looking Grill King BBQs made in Oz, and a bunch of extremely overpriced Chinese made BBQs. Which one did you get?

I would have purchased the one model they had, but it was priced over 30,000 baht. I cannot justify spending (much) more than 20,000 for the pursuit of the perfect grill marks, and even that is a huge stretch for the quality and functionality of the BBQs available. Even their Chinese models were priced well over 20,000 baht.

Thanks to all for the helpful tips so far. I'm not giving up yet.

Rgs,

SM
