The bike needs to have compulsory government insurance...nothing to do with being a foreigner..if you want better insurance coverage then "up to you" but to get the tax disc you must have the compulsory insurance.

Yes, it doesn’t matter where you go to pay your motorbike or car tax, you first need to buy CTP insurance.

Nobody in his right mind would buy the company

there seems to be a lot of those type here. LOL

I have a disused (empty) company that I was using for a house which I have now put in my daughter’s name.

Has anyone had experience in selling this type of company, or what have you done with the company once you have given the property to a Thai National?

What are my options?

If I remember it’s a 2 million baht company.

I have had a few companies in the past but have only changed names when I have sold the houses so never had to get rid of the company as it went with the house sale.

It should go off with a BANG.

They have these set up not too far from the stage.

4. While I am away,  I will leave the idling/stop button switch on.

pointless

I work offshore and leave my PCX for a month at a time, just make sure the FOB is kept away.

I have a Ducati Diavel and in the past left the FOB on the bike in my garage, this drains batteries as it is always communicating. If it can't communicate it will go to sleep.

Regular I ride down to Na Jomtien, I usually visit Drifters café when my mates are in town. Today I bought a beer from the little shop just down from Drifters, there is a little dwelling supplied by city hall that has power and lighting for free. This structure has a sign in Thai which says the building is for the local fisherman. It has a large area beside the building which local boat repairers (tradesman) repair boats (using the free electricity), regularly these guys leave their rubbish everywhere, the beach is littered with crap. Today I saw the repairman throwing off cuttings from the fibreglass boat into the water. This really annoys me, these people just throwing rubbish onto the beach/into the water. Bloody animals.

Please, city hall inspectors, visit this site and arrest these horrible people.

Sorry but everyone who marries in Thailand is totally crazy. Why not stay with someone but don't marry her as you marry the whole family. Stay away!

Your above post is totally crazy, yet you say i am why?

I am legally married to the best wife any man could wish for.

Not married to her family, yes they used to come asking, sometimes stealing.

I sorted that by having an electric motor fitted to the gate, and security fencing.

Now have a dog that only understands commands in English, outlaws come to the gate, have to ask permission to get in, dog growls at them, when they try to stop the dog, shouting at her in Thai, she just continues growling.

If my wife wants to speak with them she goes over to their homes,

I reckon you've missed the point of "mahoods" comment, his comment is making reference to the original post.

if I am liable for any other debts during the marriage?

Your marriage issues are off topic, he is calling you crazy because you will inherit all your wifes debts.

I have teenage kids and when they were infants I had to go to court, anyway thanks for the update.

I call bullshit on these sources, probably made up

The english is too good, which makes me doubt that a Thai has written this. Probably everybody here knows the english skills of people in the immigration offices, do you seriously think they could write a text with only minor mistakes?

The immigration officer allegedly said "Any foreigners working or starting a business in Thailand", but we are not talking about a business in Thailand, but abroad, so obviously he didn't even understand what this is about.

The DoE officer allegedly said "so foreigners are required to have a work permit to do so." But it's not possible to get a work permit when "working online". If this person is actually working at the DoE he should know that it's not possible to get a work permit, so why would he say "required to have a work permit"? He would say something like "first you need to found a company in Thailand ..."

 

So all sources that you have which say working online is illegal all come from a dubious website and allegedly quote people working in Phuket.

On the other hand we have real world cases of immigration police raiding places with foreigners working online on tourist visas and they found nothing illegal.

And if this isn't enough, did you ever think about why immigration police does not raid many more coworking spaces? Really easy to find people working online while being on tourist visas there.

You make some very good points here.

Ok, so everyone is rambling on about who was wrong. This is a horrible accident. I have seen it and lost friends that way. What I find unsettling is the disinterest to help this person. The person with the dashcam comments and then drives away. The other road users see it is a person, he is dead and then drives away, like this HUMAN being is just another case of roadkill.

You’re obviously new to Thailand, hang around you’ll see a lot more of this.

See this all too often, truck driver is indicating that he is turning left and motorbike undertakes.

In Australia trucks have right of way when turning left, it is against the law to overtake turning vehicles.

 

I'm amazed there is not a lot more deaths here like this.

 

I would hate to drive a heavy vehicle in Thailand, these riders dont respect their own life.

What an idiot. 

In Australia is it legal to even operate your motor vehicle on the shoulder and any conditions except an emergency situation? In Thailand, land of the "motorcycle disease", many motorcyclists operate their vehicles routinely as if they are in an emergency situation (until it becomes a real one).

No, this is illegal.

This area where the motorbike is riding is the Breakdown lane.

You cannot travel in the breakdown lane.

BTW, there have been a lot of comments regarding the truck driver’s blind spot/not looking for the motorbike.

The truck driver is making a left turn and looking to merge onto another street, he is not looking for fools up the inside.

The trucks trailer naturally follows a path where the radius is much tighter, yes it merges into the breakdown lane, the motorcyclist was a fool to get in the path of a turning vehicle of that length.

Get your gf to take out a home loan for 2.5M over 30 years.

You pay the deposit (300k) and the repayments (16k/month).

 

Then if anything goes wrong, you no longer need to make any repayments.

 

Banks tend to loan to high earners. If his girlfriend does not earn much no Bank will loan to her without a guarantor ... and that will be the farang.

2.5M over 30 years

I think the local street sweeper on minimum wage would be eligible for this loan.

I'm guessing, but I expect a person needs to be exceeding the speed limit by a "significant" amount before a ticket is issued.  Just being a few Kmh over shouldn't trigger a speeding ticket. 

 

Like on a 80 or 90Kmh road maybe 100Kmh and above triggers a ticket.   I doubt just being say 10Kmh over on say a 80Kmh road would trigger a ticket.   But as mentioned, I'm guessing....maybe some more folks who have actually got speeding tickets here in Thailand will chime in as to how much over the speed limit they were going when they got their ticket in the mail.  As mentioned in my earlier post, my ticket was for being 25Kmh over....doing 105 on a 80kmh road.

10% plus 2
