I should have taken the blue pill !!!

800 baht box all set up and ready to stream content to replace True ? Wow that's an amazing deal where do I buy one ?

Yes UK licence is fine for a few weeks. If you want to be all belts and braces then get an "international driving permit" from the AA, I would not bother though.

Yes its raining with thunder and lightning. Temperature in my place still 27C. Or 80F

Be patient, making that much ice in this heat takes time

I'll up your VT7. With 101 walking street businesses and Waterfront condo.

You are supposed to display the tax disc on a motorcycle in Thailand.
Not under the seat as some people do..Mr policeman can cause problems for you if he's feeling particularly officious that day.

The woman in the white shirt on the left in the photo (and video) looks like she's holding a rifle !

1 never invest more than you are prepared to walk away from.
2 Rent.
Yes both cliches, the real estate agents will flame never mind.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver 

Season 1 episodes 8 and 12  are "interesting"

also  Season 2, Episode 15    "we look at Adolf Hitler's bizarre cachet in Thailand"

You could tell your wife truthfully that its a backup power source for pumping water and generating electricity...during the next flood.

Technically you where un taxed and uninsured on the day you where stopped so 300 baht was very cheap

Receipt from hotel should be enough at Jomtien.

Thanks for taking the time to come back and let us all know.

@bramds Thanks very much for the update on this recent development.

Draining the waste water onto the ground or into a shower tray

That's all very well and good until the time you're in a big rush to get out  to that important meeting   and forget to  unfold the waste water pipe , with careful placement  into the shower room..what happens next is not much fun to come home to.

Be careful with  those plastic quick release attachments  good idea but  they do have a tendency to spring a leak  so best that they are in the wet room too.. there are some quite expensive brass or stainless steel versions that should be much more leak resistant.

Why not just  go full size...

recently sold for £240,000    that should impress the workmates.

only took him 20 years  to restore. 

Ok thanks @Lancashirelad  gloss coat of nearest colour now applied.

How much ? depends on engine size and age of vehicle.

Samut Prakan DLT

ok thats 1/3 of an answer    did it happen recently and your own personal experience ?

if  its true ( not just a misunderstanding somewhere ) that they are not excepting English licences any more that's bad news.

has  any one else had the same experience ?

Oh dear yet more language semantics confusion.

In the Uk the registration book (sheet of paper) is commonly called "the log book" but it is not used to log where the vehicle has been when on temporary number plates ( don't use them in UK) its used in the same manner as the blue/green book here except it doesn't record tax payments
So doesn't get full up in fact any change to the "log book "
Needs to be done by sending it to DVLA and a new updated book sent back to the owner.
Similarly "registration" is not about vehicle road tax (tax disc/square) or the number plates (the outside not chassis/engine numbers) attached to the vehicle.

I think you'll have more options with paint if you want fancy custom graphics.
Which ever way you go you are supposed to inform the DLT of change of colours and update that in the green book or you can end up contributing to the policeman s retirement fund.

Yes there are checks on LPG installations and further 5 yearly checks.

The OP says diving equipment was found in the car I think those gas canisters are about 300 PSI much higher than for LPG

You'll need to have the water supply connected for the entire wash cycle the machine decides when and how much it needs (automatically) after the wash cycle has finished yes you could remove the inlet pipe and close the bathroom door.
As for the waste pipe folded up behind the machine after use see my earlier post about my friends wife's flooding her condo.
