Thanks for the links but there were so many irrelevant comments that went off topic . I think we are all aware that the Chinese bought the MG badge to try to connect with western buyers who will be familiar with that maker . That is the reason for my post which is asking if there are current owners of the MG Extender and if so , their opinions . Not seeking opinions from those of yesterdays MGB/C etc nor those who may have a dislike of anything made in China cos they can start their own topics .

good luck with that, i have a mg zs 6 months old, very good so far, except for the original front screen film blocking the easy pass gizmo, and the cars satellite link, sorted after 3 different mg centres visited, keeping my fingers crossed reliability wise, 

the mg haters will be along soon

i have fitted some 5mm foil backed roof insulation to my mgzs sunroof, using 8 x 25mm suckers on each section, roof still opens with no problem and the heat coming through the sunroof is reduced, they are available on lazada, but always out of stock, so i made my own.

tm30's are also stapled in the rear of the passport

keep trying other banks in other areas' one will open an account for you, other way is to use an agent

regarding yearly 'married' extensions, if going back to UK, you should legalize the marraige cert there , as posted by ubonjoe, it's a long winded process

if you need to extend your permission to stay here you can do a 60 day visit Thai wife extension without the legalization paperwork, one extension per entry into Thailand,

if you need longer then a multi entry non imm visa from Savannakhet is i believe possible with a non-Thai marriage cert,

So only at Aranyaprathet and Pong Nam Ron, what about other crossings and what about if you're from places other than Pattaya, seems like a scam to use agents.

any time up to the 11th Nov, but leave some wiggle room for missing docs etc

I have just been in contact with the embassy in Vientiane about the same problem (Savannakhet did not respond). They suggested I could take a copy of my wife's driving license instead of the requested passport copy.

i have never needed a passport of driving licence for a multi non 'O' in Savannakhét, some Thais do not have either, just a signed copy of id card and house book will do 

i would think it did not shut down completely, maybe even doing a operating system update, 

if it was off completely the laptop couldn't do anything ie scans etc 

both as bad as each other, just stop following him as fast, let the recovery vehicle pull ahead

the one year 'retirement' extension will start when the non imm visas 90 day permission to stay stamp expires, so renewal date will be arrival date + 30 days  ( allowing for having to have 14/15 days left from a visa exempt entry to apply for non imm visa) + 90 days + one year

so you are planning on staying a year on a mix of tourist visas and visa exempt, after the best part of a year here  already on STV, good luck with that but i would plan on the possibility of being refused entry at any of the attempts you make to enter, don't leave too much stuff in Thailand and don't have money tied up in Thailand.

Did you ever manage to find a dealer who would sell at list price for cash Robbie ?

 

We're facing the same issue at the moment. So far we've tried 6 different garages, who have all refused to sell for cash insisting only on pay monthly at stupid rates. The only brand who would sell at cash for the list price was GPX.

look at a snatch back, some good deals to be had

I think "stupid" is buying an electrical vehicle that can be damaged and catch fire from being in water. Why would any sane person want to do this?

so no electric boats then

no return ticket needed with a tourist visa

immigration will not worry about a return ticket, but they may worry about lots of other things, ie hotel, etc 

before 31st March you will get 45 days stamp on a visa exempt entry, you will not do a 'visa run' it will be a 'border hop'

As far as I am aware if you arrived on a 90 day visa you can convert that to a non O it seems you came on a normal 30 day visa renewable for another 30 days or did you arrive as they introduced the new 45 day visa 

what is a 90 day visa, if not a non immigrant O visa

Painting markings in the dead of night.?

Even driving is not advised let alone perform such tasks.

when do you think most road markings/road resurfacing is done, when the roads are quiet or during daylight when the roads are busy

where in rayong

will need a flight out within 30/45 days of arrival, visa exempt are now 45days until i believe end of march
