i would go for the Toyota veloz, the veloz is 15mm higher than the brv, the brv is 15mm longer and 5mm wider, at 100,000thb +, its more epensive than the veloz, the Veloz offers more cabin space and headroom due to its longer wheelbase and taller height.

you need to be married to apply for a non imm 'O' visa, so enter on a visa exempt, obtain a 30 day extension, if required to get 400,000thbin bank account in Thailand in your name only, get married, then convert visa exempt to non imm 'O' visa 2,200thb, no need for a tourist visa, but will need a throwaway flight out to allow boarding of a one way ticket.

do a NI check, it seems you have some NI years missing maybe they are saying you have 30 years, instead of the required 35 for maximum pension
-
how many years NI are they showing for you, at what age will you be when you pension is due 66+ some months?
-
no, It predicts if you pay the years until retirement age
-
the maximum with 35 years of NI contributions after April 2023 will be about £10,000 a year, it works out roughly to £5.50 per week for each year of NI contributions you have, ie - so 30 years would be 30x£5.50 = £165 per week, can you buy some extra years to increase the weekly some, before claiming. they should send you a letter some 3 or 4 months before your pension is due, this letter includes an invitation code, which makes the online process simpler. see here - https://www.gov.uk/get-state-pension

you can own a vehicle in your name in Thailand, compulsory insurance is required when a new yearly 'screen' tax disc is applied for, additional better coverage insurance, class 1,2 or 3 is obtained through insurance brokers or insurance companies direct, if buying a new vehicle the 1st year additional insurance is 'thrown in' with the purchase, also included in a new car purchase is the first years 'screen' tax as well as compulsory insurance, and number plates.

44 Foreign Drivers Arrested in Patong with No Driving Licenses
steve187 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
this issue will be with us forever on AN, the you need an international permit group and the you don't need an IP group, its best to keep away from the subject -
as others have posted maybe the hard drive has failed, need to check in the bios, if so a new one is required, and a fresh install of W8, or if you have a back ip , use that. or try and recover any data you need and buy a new or a 2nd hand computer, with at least windows 10, but ideally if new W11. use 'classic start menu' to make it operate like W7, windows 8 was never any good.

44 Foreign Drivers Arrested in Patong with No Driving Licenses
steve187 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
same in Thailand, the problem is most tourists do not have a home country motorbike licence, so no licence to cover them in Thailand, also going by the accidents for tourists in Phuket, no experience on motorcycles either, look at that girl the other day she lost control, why wa she not in full control of the bike at all times, lack of experience maybe. -
