How does this work?

Does this only apply to individuals who have never bought a car or never bought a new car?

And what are the benefits?

Did you have any large suitcases with you or just a backpack?

Sent from one of my mobiles, whatever mobile it is.

I had a large suitcase with me. And in striking lime green!

This in short means that we need to come to Thailand looking like a pauper and leave looking like a Thai!

i hate them like flies.

irresponsible road users.

most do not think for other motorists as well

almost knocked into many as they suddenly appeared outta nowhere and into my blind spot!

those that flout the rules should be stopped and removed off the road by the police

all my cars are automatic cars.

2007 Kia cerato 1.6a

Bought in 2008 as a 2nd hand car. Abused it for 3 years and never gave any problems except the regular oil change and tyre change. Completely changed my perception about Korean cars.

I rate it 70/100 overall.

1992 Honda prelude 2.2a

Bought in 2007

4 speed automatic hinds gearbox reliable and strong as steel!

Best fun car ever driven even though it's an automatic and damn old.

Reliable except for a broken radiator fan.

Rate 80/100

2006 BMW 523i

Bought in 2011

Excellent to drive but the maintenance costs drove me up the wall.

Rate 80/100

2005 Nissan teana 2.3a

Bought in 2012

My first v6 engine car and I loved the low end torque.

Gearbox strong and sturdy and no major issues with engine and air conditioning.

But bland exterior and interior

Rate 65/100

2005 Subaru forester 2.5t

Bought in 2013

My first turbocharged car. Loved it to bits except that it drank petrol like water!

Strong engine and gearbox!

85/100

2005 honda accord 2.4a

Bought in 2013

Nothing to shout about. Gearbox failed me whilst on the highway.

Disappointed with this model.

50/100

2001 BMW 318i

Bought in 2014

Nice drive as synonymous with BMW.

However a trip up to isaan cost me tens of thousands in repairs afterwards! LOL

Overall still a reliable car but I'm getting bored after driving for 3 months.

80/100

i have seen that the nissan navara is a relatively cheaper buy, followed by mitsubishi triton, d-max and so on.

is it due to the lack of popularity of the nissan?

i probably might just drive it for 1 or 2 years max and change again.

advisable to get a cheaper ride?

the triton 2.5 AT VGS is turbocharged?

the only difference is between the 2WD and 4WD right??

3.0 Vigo auto is a turbo charged engine and now has a 5 speed auto box which is sufficient for this ride that has oooodles of torque at low RPM. In fact the previous 4 speed was adequate.

previous 4 speed meaning the 2005 models?

Dear all,

I'm having itchy fingers wanting a change of car to try a pick up.

I am inclined only towards the automatic models though.

which of these actually have a more reliable gearbox?

I saw that the triton has a relatively lower selling price (2nd hand) as compared to the others. even the 3.2L automatic has a decent selling price.

Is there a particular reason?

I would prefer to get a vigo as it's a toyota but there are so many variants that it's abit confusing. Maybe I'm looking at the 3 litre. Does it come with turbo for automatic as well?

I'm also sold on the D-max turbo 3.0

The ford and nissan i've not done any research yet so I'd appreciate any inputs.

I understand that for them it's almost the same as an ed visa? 3 months and then apply for extension? How about after that one year?

What happens after that?

oh woodland! i think i know where that is. Shall try to scout around! thanks!

Dear All,

Should my parents decide to join me in LOS when they have retired,

what would the procedures be?

A few quick questions:

1) Is it east to apply and what documents are required to apply for retirement visa in LOS?

They need to come in person or they can do so at the Thai Embassy in my country?

2) Will they be able to purchase property as well as cars/motorcycles under their own names?

Thanks in advance for the replies!

As topic? Anyone knows where I can get them? Either 30cm strips or 60cm strips? Must be 12v dc operating voltage,

Purchase at the airport? Where exactly at the airport do I do that? Before I check in or after?

Dear all,

I went to Laos to apply and get my ed visa.

However I noticed that it was single entry. And I did not have to pay. The lady over the counter told me it's free.

Then when I entered bangkok today, I realized that my visa has been used.

Problem is, I need to go to china for a short trip to visit some friends. When I return, will my 3 month be reduced back to one month?

When I exit, the immigration officer will surely erase my records?

Very pissed with myself right now

School staff did not educate me on ed visa application, now i have screwed myself as I was only given single entry and I need multiple entry.

Now I need to get papers from the school again and make another painful trip to Laos

I sent my ems. Now I am giving up my stuff. I am not gonna pay that ridiculous tax.

Ah ok... It's not clearly stated in my papers where it is addressed. The consultant claims Laos only but I do not see it stated at all...

I am, in future, thinking of importing stuffed toys

Also another thing in consideration, will be car accesorries.

I read that stuffed toys are taxed 20% whilst car accessories and parts are exempt

I imported a small package of bags. Value less than 5000baht but declared at 5000baht and slapped with 1500 import duty!

No I am not a resident of china. This means i can only go to Laos?

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

dear all,

i just collected my papers for collection of ed visa.

just wanna check if i can do it in guangzhou, china as there is a royal thai embassy there too.

my sales consultant insisted that i must go to laos to get the ed visa.

i think it's BS so i just wanna confirm with people in the know over here at TV.

please let me know asap so i can plan my trips.

i hope i do not need to spend extra thousands of baht for an extra trip to laos just to get the ed visa

replies much much appreciated!
