OP, You appear to have possibly misunderstood the process.

 

I renewed 2 x 5years licenses a couple off weeks ago in Pattaya.

Just to clear up a couple of things. You cant make an online appointment as that is only for Thais with an id card, Book an appointment with Thai ID and you have an appointment to be processed, tested etc with a bunch of Thais, in Thai. You can make an appointment for a foreigner group with the lady at the top of the stairs, .

 

It appears you queued up to have documents checked and make an appointment. (as your Thai appointment didn't mean anything)  I believe you cannot just turn up and queue to do license renewal. If the lady said July appointment, that is your appointment for license renewal.

 

At The DLT there are two things you do, reflex/vision test and watch a video, test and video one time only to cover two licenses. I wouldn't bother with a driving school if they want you to do test or video 2 times. just do the test/video once at the DLT.

I cant understand why they have sent you down the road to do this, as it wont get you any closer to license renewal at the moment.

 

You appear not to realise the DLT is not doing license renewals at the moment, if you turn up next week, the same will happen, queue to see the lady upstairs, they will tell you to come back in July. 

 

Medical cert, driving school certificate etc will probably be out of date in july.

 

 

yes only driving 20 years in thailand ????

I have just had the same experince today , passed my renwal test 8 weeks ago and was told at rayong centre to go back today for 1 hour training and get licence , when i get there tell me come back in july , thanks for the info i will go driving school and do my training now ( 50 years driving training very important not ???????????? )

Looking for second hand or cheap 2,000 litre water tank for the garden , 

    Thanks .

Where are they all hiding ????

They sell the small bags , but i will ask if they do lorry loads

This is a private business, they can do what they want
People in this thread are talking about national parks run by the Thai department of national parks

I've found that in the last year or so this is no longer the case....I have managed to "embarrass" the odd official but the new policy seems to be ALL foreigners.

U turn as you come into sattahip at the lights , u will see the left fork takes u on the 332 to rayong , just u turn at the lights and head back to pattaya , second garden center on left , its just flat laid sq turf not rolled , they have different types . I layed malay grass .

Sattahip just as u come into sattahip there a set of lights where the road goes left to rayong on the 332 . Do a u turn at the lights and head back to pattaya about 1 kilometer on the left ( second garden centre ) they have lots and new stock every few days .

There is no smell. The cow poo poo has been dried for a long time and comes almost as a "normal" fertilizer.....

We have an Asgatec GM6500 which is going strong after 6 years of cutting 1.5 Rai every other week (we have a man who does it of course).
 
This model isn't made any longer but Agastec are worth looking at in this price range.

7.5 HP OHV & 3mm deck sounds good, I’d want to see it though.

Hi

I'm looking to buy a berala lawn mower , anyone got one or know if they are a good machine , 

Thanks john

Why use Sattahip for the koh Chang ferry when the main customer base is in Pattaya, makes no sense at all.
 
If you have to make arrangement for transport from Pattaya to Sattahip you might just as well go all the way down to Trat and take the ferry there.

Hi

       in a rented condominium who is responsible for replacing faulty light bulbs .

I find Jupiter rum from Big C good value at 300 baht , but last week I was in Tesco in sattahip and they were selling 1 litre bottles of Bacardi for 580 baht , I bought 10 bottles but when I went back later the shelf was empty .

I sold my house 5 years ago with a faring estate agent on second road. He sold my house for 3 million baht and told me the 5% agents fee would be paid for by the buyer . I never met the buyer until a year after he bought my house just by chance visiting an old neighbour , I was then shocked to find out he paid 3.5 million for my house . Next time I will use a Thai company , I have since seen the English estate agent driving around in a big new Mercedes. So I totally agree with your comment they are dishonest .

The 5% asking price for agent's commission in Thailand is patently absurd, but it is only an asking price and is open to negotiation. Why is it so high? Simply because some people are stupid enough to pay it.

Generally agents in Thailand (especially the farang ones) are an untrained, unqualified, dishonest, incompetent bunch of layabouts who could never hold down a real job if their lives depended on it. I dare say that amongst the dross there are some decent ones, but I haven't met any of them.

As foreigners are prohibited from working in the Thai property market, by definition they must be dishonest.
