very few if any 2 door pickup trucks are auto, what would be your price range

what mechanical knowledge do you have, most older 2 door pickups will be high milage'

finding a well maintained example with receipts/records will be hard

The worse One I saw was belching smoke from a " go faster exhaust " that it cleared the Inspection area and people waiting , the inspection crew started laughing.

When I went to get my Tax , the guy with the black smoking exhaust was also picking his Tax disc up.

so they test and you collect tax disc on  the same visit, where did you have this done, DLT or roadside test centre

The semantics on the ticket are not great, running a red light is not the best description.

 

Your crime was to enter a junction when your exit was not clear.

is there a law against that if no box junction marking,

Section 22 (1000B)
[Meaning of traffic light:
Green: the driver may drive the vehicle through
Yellow: the driver shall prepare to stop the vehicle behind the stop line. If the driver has passed the stop line when the traffic light turns yellow, he may go through.
Red: the driver shall stop the vehicle behind the stop line.

You crossed the white line when your exit was not clear, you effectively ran the red, regardless that the traffic in front of you stalled. Sorry, 

running the red light is just that, passing the traffic light on green is not running a red light.

You will do your own count.

I put in calendar.

Google: entry date plus 89 days and your next report date will appear.

Ignore any reminder email.

why do people post incorrect, made up information, i thought the info was incorrect, but wasn't 100% sure

1) You can buy a re-entry at the airport.

2) If you intend to go 'home' just once a year a single re-entry purchased either with your visa or renewal, allows you to go and come back.

3) You do not need to worry about 90 reports if you are out of the country.....when you come back you get a piece of paper for 90 day reports dated 90 days after you enter Thailand.

4) Do not be absent from Thailand when your annual renewal of the visa is required, if to are out of the country, you will have to start from scratch to get a new visa. 

5) Multiple entry, as the name implies, means you can go and come without buying a re-entry at your local immigration office or the airport. There is no limit on the re-entries, but the ME is, I think, twice the price of the SE ie 3800 baht for ME and 1900 baht for single re-entry. 

No point wasting money if you will not be travelling outside Thailand a lot, IMHO. I always buy the ME as I am at the age where everybody seems to be dying and I might get called home to attend the funeral.

is number 3 new, as i haven't come across that before

Just out of curiosity and following on from this, after having done a 60 day visa exempt and a 30 day extension at immigration, then doing a border run ( land or air) and obtaining a new 60 day visa exempt, can that then be extended by 30 days again at immigration?

TBH it seems a rather large loophole if you can just carry on doing it!

yes you can, at some time immigration on entry will question you and may refuse entry

I doubt it. You can buy new Chevrolet Captiva in Thailand. It's a reliable car since the new owner is in China. So made in China!

Isuzu MU-X is great, I had one for several years.

you will not find one for the op's price range, maybe an early MU7, I think the Captiva may be the way to go, for the money available

Pattaya should stop all the motorcycle taxis operating. Force them all to take criminal background checks and have special license for driving passengers. They should take full control over rates and services relating to foreigners there. Only then maybe the crime these taxis drivers commit, the overcharging, and the taxi gangs will end. If the city does not take control then they really do not care about tourist and foreigner safety. They should all be working together equally through the city to sponsor them.

in a perfect world yes, but never in Pattaya

Just been wondering about that....can I ask a question?

 

We have gaps and grouting.....not a problem, but the grouting does look grubby. I've noticed in many places they lay tiles with no gap at all....looks super neat....how do they get away with that?

regarding grout I am a grey grey on floors and white on the walls man, one brand of adhesive i used in the UK had 32 colours of grout with matching colours of silicone,

  just use some bleach on the grout should clean it,

  yes the gap should be about 3mm to allow for expansion, should also allow a gap around the outer edge of the tiled area, also you should have an expansion gap every 8metres of run, that's where the matching silicone colours come in,

   laying tiles with no gap is asking for trouble, the same thing goes for not using a suitable thin bed adhesive, especially for porcelain tiles

I just crossed over into Laos a couple days ago to use  my re-entry stamp.  Was thinking this would be all need to do before heading to Vientiane but it just hit me.  I'll still have my Non-O when crossing into Laos next week without a re-entry.  Will the Thai Embassy tell me I have a visa and I'm not eligible for a new visa.   I forget when they invalidate the visa.  Upon leaving or at re-entry.

when you leave Thailand without a re-entry permit or a still valid multi entry visa, your permission to stay ends,

That is the problem there Are long queues especially on long weekends, you can queue for 3+ hours on leaving, it backs up a long way, I have seen it backed up the 'Mountain'. 

This is the current Centre Point Ferry time table, but you may need to ring to make sure it's running, You can just drive past the Queue Hazards on to CenterPoint. at the moment leaving Koh Chang drive straight on, and pay the other side, hardly ever a Queue.

are they still using the rickety old ferries

Thanks DrJack, you have confirmed my worst fears because I think it will be difficult to go back to extension based on marriage, after I have done an extension based on retirement.

the problem with agents suppling the 800,000thb for the extension is getting away from them to do it yourself the following year, married or retirement, as you have not complied with the 2 months before, 3 months after and 400,000thb remainder of the year, best to stay away from agents and find an alternative,
