  1. I think you will find that the other houses have a cesspit not a septic tank....usually a number of concrete rings on top of each other. Proper septic tanks are a relatively new addition to Thai plumbing and are completely different from the old cesspits. The outflow into the leach field from a properly sized and working septic tank shouldn’t be smelly. If it is you having probably killed off all the bacteria by pouring chemicals into the system.

    Why, do you question jackdd's report? This TM30 issue has the Immigration folks in total disarray, primarily with the discrepancy between Immigration offices on what's required. CM had, up to now, been pragmatic about no reporting necessary for in country travel. That went against the grain of the overall law. So, now we're being rolled up into what's becoming the "NO SH*T" countrywide requirement. However, wiser heads will prevail -- oh, wait a minute -- where is it I now live....

    He quoted post #2, he did not question the OP’s report. Perhaps you should go back and read the absurd post he quoted to see what he meant ?

  3. They obviously have not updated that section 36 since the aftermath of the "Manhattan rebellion" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Rebellion ) when the navy's "gunships" were banned from coming up river any more !

    Sounds like a wonderful adventure if you can pull it off, but just one worry ....just what are you going to do about the TM30 every night ? ????

    A few months ago I did see a large yacht with the stars and stripes tied up near the Saphan Taksin pier (Bangkok port?) so presumably you can get a yacht at least as far as that.

    I understand. But please explain to me your error message "This app is compatible with some of your devices" or "This app is incompatible with all your devices". I really would like to understand these messages. What devices are they talking about if you are using only 1.

    Your Google account knows which devices are registered to your account, so in this case he may have a computer with the Chrome browser, and a phone, both linked to his US account, and that is why “all of his devices are incompatible”

     With his Thai account it could be that an old phone is incompatible, so only some devices are compatible.

  5. "Registration for TM30 online"

    Looking at the documents required for registration, as a foreigner I would need a copy of my passport and a copy of the house registration. Does the house registration have to be in the applicants name ? Because in that case the online registration would only be available to condo owners ? My sister in law owns the house, and I used her when registering my change of address and TM30 a few months ago. She is not computer literate though, anything more than Facebook on her phone is too hitech for her !

    My wife is not much better, although she can manage Facebook and Youtube on her ipad, so it would be a lot more convenient if I could register in my name using the tabien baan with S.i.L's name as housemaster.

    So, has anybody registered using the tabien baan in somebody elses name ?

  6. ^ Because we are going to a family wedding this weekend in Ayyuttaya so will be staying overnight and out of province for just over 24 hours. The sister in law booked the resort rooms so I will try and stay out of sight and hope the resort office don’t want my passport. If so then I won’t get put into the system and immigration will never know, but if the resort do tell immigration then by the info above I guess a new TM30 will be needed.

    Maybe they are diversifying into providing medical emergency and funeral and cremation services and want to give the business a bit of a boost.

    No, he just wants all the Bangkok revheads to be able to get to the family business ( ie racetrack) quicker and more often. And then replicate all the race moves on the way home.....

    ”did you see Somchai try to cut in front of the other car and end up off the road” ......(just like this).....

  8. Has anybody had recent experience with Ubon Immigration and TM30 after returning home from a trip within Thailand ? Are they among the offices that want a new form every time, or are they more relaxed ( and sensible) about it ?

     Yes, I know we could phone them but sometimes it is best not to give them any funny ideas !

    it states the price in both Australian dollars  

    $34,990 and  USD $36,831

    I used the USD for my comparison because I am familiar with the rate of exchange.

    I only used this for comparison, and is only speculation. The Thai price could  be totally different (higher or lower)  because of the tax situation and other variables..

    That is NOT $US, both prices are in Australian dollars.

    ABN holders can drive-away for $34,990 ($36,831 for us regular folk) means people with an Australian Business Number get a tax discount for commercial use, regular Joe Public pays the full price of $36831. (for the top model)

     Which would be around 786,000 baht but as it would be assembled here should be much cheaper. That article was also dated November 2017, about the 2018 model......presumably the vehicle and prices would have been updated since then.
