Tips appreciated on pitfalls to buying a used car in Thailand
Dmaxdan replied to JTXR's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
First, have a look from a distance to see if you see anything that may be suitable for your needs and budget. Then, it would be best to send a trusted Thai person in first to have a chat and negotiate the price. Don't go with them, let them look it over and then report back to you. Then and only then announce that a foreigner is interested in purchasing the vehicle. Many of these places will up to price considerably if a Farang shows some interest in their cars. -
The DF (Dirty Farang) variant of Covid has always been the most deadly. But weirdly isn't recognized in the rest of the world.

Couple killed after drunk driver crashes into their motorbike sidecar
Dmaxdan replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
The drunk sedan driver should be charged with manslaughter and given a lengthy prison sentence. Of course that won't happen be because that would require a little thing called courage from those given the job of prosecuting him. -

It's a bit late to learn anything after you have been crushed under a train. -
Drunk drivers in Thailand may face stiffer penalties
Dmaxdan replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
A new year and the same old empty threats rear their ugly heads yet again. When are these people going to realize that actions speak louder than words. Until they start releasing actual footage of devastated DUI miscreants being marched off to start their prison sentences then these so called stiffer penalties will never be taken seriously. -

Buying a phone on Lazada - risky or not?
Dmaxdan replied to Batty's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
A legitimate manufacturer's warranty is perfectly possibly. Although you would almost certainly have to activate it yourself, probably online. A Lazada seller's warranty? Anything longer than a fortnight is generally is very rare. As mentioned above, LazMall sellers or failing that, a LazPick seller are your safest route when buying expensive electronic items on the Lazada platform. -
New Year alcohol controls - no selling up to 2 am outside special areas
Dmaxdan replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They do catch thousands of drunk drivers. The problem is that the punishments for being caught are nowhere near harsh enough to become a deterrent. And of course, some that are caught just make a phone call to a friend or family member in a high position of authority and get off scot free. -

Marriage visa cost and advice
Dmaxdan replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There are no more fees to pay. When you return, you just hand over your passport over to the appropriate officer and sit and wait for them to stamp you passport. Sometimes they may still be waiting for confirmation that your extension has been granted and you will have to return in a couple of days. -
Woman C must be one of those unscrupulous taxi drivers who picks up naive tourists from the airport and takes them on a long winded tour when in reality, their hotel is only a kilometer away.

Those BMW smart cars are becoming too damn clever. It appears they can now locate overstayers when they are just walking down some random road minding their own business!

I can't speak for your particular immigration office, but there should be no need for an appointment for your second visit. All you have to do is hand your passport over to the appropriate officer and sit and wait. From my experience this can be anything from 10 minutes to an hour max. My local immigration office always recommends that you go in the afternoon to collect your stamp as sometimes the permission may still not have been granted in the morning.
