I've found the forum search function has always been almost useless.
Use Google include thaivisa.com in the search parameters much better results. -
Why ? Because western union is instantaneous banks make you wait anything from a day to weeks to get your money.

You don't need a license to drive on private property

I thought they pre washed because the top loading upright washing machines that are so popular here don't get the clothes very clean as compared to the ( increasingly available) front loading washing machines which seem to do a better job.

copy and past from my notes
Thai seller needs to supply
Signed copy of ID card front and back ( not expired )
Signed copy of house registration ( not allways required )

green/ blue book signed by current ownerForeigner seller needs to supply
certificate of residence from immigration ( should be free at immigration but varies from place to place )
For foreign seller, instead of certificate of residence also work permit or yellow housebook is accepted.
if foreign seller has left Thailand then a signed copy of the exit from Thailand stamp in their passport instead of residence certificate and valid visa stamp.
(Certificate of residence not required in all provinces ? / DLT's Pattaya requires it )
sometimes the police station will give you this document too.
copy passport photo page
copy of visa page and or extension ( not expired )

One of the large zero baht Chinese tour companies that operated in Pattaya was recently raided,assets seized and owners jailed...might account for some of the decline.

They even started the demolition with guest still in the hotel rooms !!!!
November, 2013
http://pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/110292/city-officials-begin-demolition-of-south-pattaya-hotel/
QuoteCity workers accompanied the team of officials on Tuesday and began to deconstruct the hotel interior on the floors of the hotel which are considered to be illegally built. Foreign tourists were forced to vacate some of the rooms as doors were broken down by the laborers. After some discussion a 1 hour reprieve was given so the hotel guests could safely vacate the rooms to allow the demolition teams to continue.

QuoteA South Pattaya Hotel which has reportedly ignored warnings from City Hall regarding their unauthorized extensions to the Hotel have now been told to demolish the extensions within 7 days or face legal action.
April 21st 2015
QuoteArmy demolition teams were called in to knock down ground-floor walls of a South Pattaya Hotel which is the subject of a demolition order due to a breach of planning regulations.
QuoteNearly a year after threatening to demolish Pattaya’s Boutique Hotel for illegally adding six additional floors, the dismantling actually began with plans to level the entire building after years after legal wrangling.
The city Engineering Department joined soldiers from the 14th Military Circle at the South Pattaya hotel April 21
21st April 2015
Ok not quite years but 18 months since the first holes where knocked into the walls.

In the advanced settings for your Ethernet adaptor compare all the settings from your sons OS and your OS
Things like auto speed negotiating full/half duplex
There can be quite a few settings make sure they all exactly match in both OS
Change yours to match your sons

The floors maybe "floating" separately from the foundations and concrete support beams (skeleton) which provide all the strength in most Thai houses.
If you start getting cracks in the reinforced concrete beams that's something to worry about.
Walls and floor could be removed completely and rest of the house (should) still stand. -
Bit of filler and paint good as new.
You only have to worry about the cracks when you can fit your hand into them

Or you can use a conversion kit. I have a 2007 which runs 90% on E85.
What did the conversion kit convert ? -
I remember the huge outcry in Germany when E10 was introduced that so many cars would break down.
And how many broke down ?

Wow it's taking years to demolish those 4 floors...one guy working one hour per week with a plastic spoon might have been faster !

Reminds me of the scene from Yam Yasathorn movie

Surat Thani DLT process the paperwork on day 1, then ask you to come back with the vehicle 3 days later. THEN you have to return in 3 weeks to pick up the plates.
Yes its such a marvellously modern and thoroughly efficient system I don't see how it could possibly be improved upon.
In the UK for example when you buy a car or bike the buyer and seller sign the registration document (singular) send it by post ( or online )
to the DVLA who in short time send the new owner a nice new shiny registration book ( log book ) that's it.
no need to change number plates,have rubbings taken of chassis and engine numbers,make multiple trips to a far away office,come back in 3 weeks etc etc.

If the bike is from another province then this really messes things up, as the transfer cannot be done on Samui - but see below.
From my experiences ( not on Samui ) you have to inform the DLT that you want to "move" the vehicle to another province
for example it has Bangkok plates and you dont want to go all the way to Bangkok to change name in the green book so you go to the Samui DLT and ask for it to be "moved" to Samui and change names, depending on various things they might do it that day or more likely ask you to come back another day to pick up the book with new owner name and new Samui number plate.
Using the "agent" to do it all for you is a very worthwhile option unless you have infinite patience, time and fancy a challenge.

I thought it was longer than that 15 years ???
...they definitely want all the back tax paid and an inspection done before they will transfer names.

1 part cement 3 parts sand 3 parts aggregate
So 1 bucket cement 3 bucket s of sand and 3 of stones
Mix up in a big plastic bucket all available from the local hardware shop.....remember to have 3 shredded wheat for breakfast mixing by hand is hard work. -
I thought that only Bangkok / Chengwattana can do conversion from Tourist to Non-O ??

You don't need the former owner to go with you if you get them to sign the transfer form, power of attorney and other forms.
As an aside can anyone give an authoritative answer as to how long a vehicle can go untaxed before the blue/green book becomes invalid. I though it was 15 years but some told me its now 3 years ?
