I'm sorry to say, but Maha Sarakham is more or less in the center of Isaan. Chum Phae is to the east of Khon Kaen and on the edge of Isaan.  

Sorry I ment west of Khon Kaen. My fault.

I have a good friend from Norway living in Chum Phae. He has been living there for many years and he says there are some expats from different countries.

This is two places you can look for a house to rent.

Three places were they might have welding equipment. If you go down to the canal, not far away from Center Point, there is a big hardware store. The hardware store "opposit" Thai Krung Bank not far from the Police Station. Global House.

Cumputer repair you have many of. They are all over the place. 

Sauna and pool you have at Takasila Hotel.

There are not too many expats in Maha Sarakham. But there are some and they usually hang out at "Nic's Place". This video gives you the direction. The Indian restaurant is closed and "Nic's Place" is now "owned" by a man from Germany.

My girlfriend used to work in the restaurant next door to Tim's as a cook for 12 years. When she was working there the western food was excelent, but I'm not sure if it's the same today. The restaurant opens 10 am.

if they found a mug that would buy it without looking into the registration,  then yes.

 

But they still hold the book, and the new buyer loses his car

The car will probably be shipped to a country outside Thailand or stripped for parts.

the finance company holds the blue book, so if you do a runner, they sell the vehicle

 

Ive recently bought and sold a car on a tourist visa (cash)

The finance company can hold the blue book, but that doesn't stop someone from sellig the car and then do a "runner".

I have many friends who have registered vehicles to themselves on tourst visa's, when I went to immigration I even ticked the box on the form as requiring the certificate of residence to buy a car/motorbike so it appears to me it would appear it is totally legal :)

After some more years in Thailand I'm sure you are getting the hang of it. This is another site with some usefull information.

Those who are not Thai citizens need to produce the following paperwork for the DLT with copies:

• Current passport
• Non-immigrant visa
• Work Permit or Certificate or Letter of Residence issued by Thai Immigration or the appropriate embassy

I have bought a used car and used motorbike (cash purchases) in my name on a tourist visa, all I needed was a certificate of residents from immigration.

 

This I believe is a common "problem" for many westerners living in Thailand. They are so used to officials and public servants following the letter of the law in their own home contries so they believe, wrongly, it's the same in Thailand. As I said in an earlier post the DLT SOMETIMES accepts a tourist visa or maybe no visa at all. But the law requires a Non Immigrant Visa. And that I think we should point out in this thread.

Or maybe not. You have 4 choices.

1. Your embassy.

2. Immigration office. Your local or main office in Bangkok. You do NOT need to have a 1-year visa. What ever length of your Non Immigrant Visa will do.

3. Your local police station

4. Yellow book.

If you use 2 and 4 you need a Non Immigrant Visa. For 1 and 3 you don't need. BUT to buy a car in your own name you MUST have a Non Immigrant Visa. It's a requirement from DLT. I know that some DLT offices SOMETIMES do not require a Non Immigrant Visa, but this is what the law says.

I think we may put it fathers name. Does it matter much?

It might. If the car is in your name you need a Non Imigrant Visa, a certification of residence in Thailand and you have to pay cash. Your wife may not have the car in her name because she doesn't live in Thailand anymore. And if you want the car to be in your father in laws name make sure the insurance covers both you and your father in law.

In what "name" do you wanna buy the car? Yours or hers.

Go to one of the hospitals in town and see a doctor. It looks like they all have a good selection of medicines. The best one I think must be Maha Sarakham International Hospital (private).  

That's correct.

There is a small one opposite the old food market. Now the market is a building site. On the corner where you turn left back to the canal. 2 baht one copy. You see a lot of yellow and pink shirts outside next to the shop.

The right corner of this buliding.

If there still is a need for a place to stay my neighbour is moving to Bangkok and his part of the house is up for rent.

Hi Ryan.

I realise this is an old topic but we are in a similar situation as you. looking for a house to rent in Roi Et for small family.

Did you find any estate agents or get any contacts for renting a house in Roi Et? 

We have tried driving around and looking but it's a little difficult at times with 5 month old baby in the car.

Cheers.

This is a townhouse in Roi Et.

And this is two houses in Maha Sarakham.

Thanks for the info. I recently purchased a Roku box and a U.S. friend is bringing it next month. 

I have True net internet, do you see any problems with using True? ? ?.

I have a Roku box connected to True internet. Channel selectionary is good but if I had VPN I could access American tv. Does any know of a tech guy who could set up a VPN for me ? ? ? 

To have VPN you need to find a VPN company on the net. I use PureVPN. It's ok with a great customer service (my experience). Download the PureVPN app or another VPN company's app. With the app you can change your ip address in about 150 countries. There are several VPN companies where you can get access for free. My advice is to stay away because my antivirus program (Norton) warns me about thiese companies.

There are a few ways to use a VPN on an Apple TV. You can use a Smart DNS service then you configure your DNS settings manually in the Apple TV. Check if your VPN provides a Smart DNS or a virtual router service. You can use your PC to create a virtual router, then connect Apple TV thru it.

I connect my Apple TV to my WiFi witch has a Norwegian IP-adress (VPN)?

I have had great enjoyment with an Apple TV box for several years in Buriram Province. It works fine via 3BB ADSL internet connection. I registered it via my USA based iTunes account. Not every channel with work as the box IP address is in Thailand. However, if I use my VPN and register my friends USA cable service customer account number I GREATLY expand channels and shows possible to watch for free. I have never used the pay per view so I can not comment.  I bought my Apple TV box in the USA and a friend brought it over. It is for sale in all manner of Apple re-seller stores in malls in Thailand. It will work WITHOUT a VPN, and it will work without a USA cable TV customer number. But you will have far more options to watch if you use those "tools".  I enjoy watching TV on a ROKU set top box in a Buriram Village house via CAT fiber optic internet. Roku offers more channels to watch than Apple TV, and give you more options if you use a VPN.  Both are fine boxes. I bought my Roku box in the USA and a friend brought it over. While I had not seen a Roku on a store shelf in isaan, that does not mean it is not available in Thailand.  Both boxes have good remotes in my experience. 

I have an Apple TV box from Norway and I have VPN, but how do I connect the Apple TV box to VPN? Do I have to go thru the pc?

This is some new places i Maha Sarakham.
