  1. No, most insurers weight the age much more than the milage. I have a Civic 2016 with only about 23000km that i am thinking about to sell. The insured value in my first class insurance contract is much lower than the price at all the market places i have been looking.
  2. I made my extension today and they said that they will move back to the old place next month. They didn't know which day, but they seemed confident that they will move back.
  3. We didn't have water in the house, but we were cut off. I had to go to the hospital and was sent from from one to the other, as most of them had problems. Wasn't funny, but many others had it much worse.
  4. As i have to get my next extension this week i called them (the number i wrote in the OP). They are still at the airport office.
  5. Everybody who has to go to Hat Yai immigration be aware that they moved temporarily to the airport immigration (turn right just before the airport check-point). They couldn't say for how long, so if you have to go there this or next month, better call them and ask where they are (074 257 015).
  6. I have a Xiaomi 15 ultra too, the Photography Kit, charger and some other goodies were free (promotion from Mi shop). As you write the fingerprint sensor is far better then the one from Samsung and the cameras are just incredible for a mobile phone. I hope to use it for 5 years at least so it will be well worth its price.
  7. Never use an agency, use Thai driving schools. They represent the official way to avoid the hustle at some DTL's and they are quiet cheap.
  8. Well, my receipt of notification (TM30) clearly shows my passport number and the country of origin. I made the TM30 in person (with my wife) at Hat Yai IO, and as Stocky already wrote, it's their regulation and confronting them with copies of official regulations is not very smart.
  9. When i moved here 8 years ago we got a visit from IO Hat Yai after the first extension, visa based on retirement. Before i had been on extensions based on marriage in an other province and never got the pleasure of visiting IO's. The second year they told me that they will have to visit every year now (IO Hat Yei), but they never came. No problem, but an unannounced visit would be as strange as interesting; although they know longitude and latitude it's very difficult to find our house without instructions..
  10. This year i had only about 20 minutes, but had to wait another half an hour because of the red envelopes for chinese new year. Didn't mind as the atmosphere was very relaxed and all the officers were happy. Felt more like a party than the usual waiting for the important extension stamp.
  11. Car dealers get a provision from the lender. Go and try to get a discount when buying a new car with cash.
  12. It would be very unusual to get a discount if paying cash. Dealers prefer purchase on installments as they can make additional profits.
  13. There's not much left to sanction. The trade volume between Russia and the US is about 0.15% of the total Russian trade volume. But yes, Trump could impose a 1000% tax on the Russian uranium they're still buying..
  14. You're right and the interesting thing is that many Malaysian drivers here act like racing pilots same as many Thai drivers do. They know that they can do it here, so they do it. But, at least, much less Malaysians are drunk drivers..
  15. No need to change the adress in the car book or change number plates. You'll have to change the adress on your driving license though. Normally you would do that at the next renewal, but when you're afraid of unpaid speeding fines you can do it immediately.
