a lot of the newer build 'loft' style condos with duplex aren't actual duplex in the deed, the sq. m on record will be of one floor only, and the second level is actually classified as 'furniture' like bunk bed, these loft/duplex room will have same floor space as non-duplex room below, if they were to only use the floorplan sq meters, it'd be unfair as they actually have more usable floor space 

an easement is and agreement between two landowners giving access through their property, it will be recorded on the chanote and at the land office

simple one would be giving access to the 'landlocked' plot in the back of your plot say, a road certain meters wide through the plot owned by you

Nope,

Honda add fobs to the box in the bike electronically, but the number on the fob is useful as you can use it to unlock the bike without the fob.

I've seen case where in order to get a lost key reprogrammed, without the barcode tag present, they don't even bother and proceed to order the whole ecu new to the tune of 3-4,000 baht

if it's keyless fob, you only got one from the factory, make sure you take care of the barcode on the keyring, it's needed to program another key in should you need a second fob or lose the original

I'm would like to see the banks and phone companies eventually embracing something like the YubiKey to provide strong 2FA for their apps and other services. Probably not in my lifetime.

 2 factor token generator are available and used already on commercial accounts for most Thai Banks, I'd happily pay extra 5-800 baht a year to use it with my personal accounts

Why?  Why would you wait for the taxi you booked to turn up for you, watch it waiting and not use it?  Surely you're abusing the system (unless you didn't describe the circumstances accurately)?

You only watch them stay 'stationary' on the app, they don't actually show up to your location, some even drive in the other direction away from you even

There is no taxi mafia in Bangkok ...

Try hailing a taxi in front of popular shopping malls.... the rank full of taxis and tuktuks blocking traffic that's conveniently ignored by the police would be evidence otherwise 

It's not upmarket anymore with Emquartier just up the road

It'd be quite telling to see if over half the showings are Thai dubbed instead of subtitled which would indicates a lower income -working class clientele 

I've seen case where the prosecutor office (must be where they have the equivalent of legal aid) help Thai family get estate executor appointed without need for lawyer, they just need a few fee like for the advertisement on court paper of the court date, and on the date they just read out the case in court, no body turns up to contest and it's done. the wait was long like 6-8months though

My tgf just lost her fob for a Honda 150i. The dealer, in Pattaya, charged 1500 for a replacement. 3k is definitely a rip off.

3-4000 sound like replacing the whole ecu, which is required for case where you don't have the original keyring with the codes on a small card required to program new key to existing ecu

as far as your standing in the communities, maybe the village gossiped if you don't offer the monks alms.. but it's in private

I find that turning up to the big temple festival once in a while is good to satisfy the aunties of the village and they'll mention that they saw you at the temple for years, 

neighbor's funerals and such is attended as needed of course

if you're looking for the 1% solution.... you can either:

set up a company in the UK with low volume 'kit car' that can register the car as 'new' in the UK, then import as a restomod 'new' car, this is a known route, Maybe you could set this up from neighboring country instead 

or

keep it garaged in border town in Cambodia or Malaysia, drive it in temporarily, Limit is six months total per year time spent in Thailand, so two cars ought to cover it

Possibly, but it is ridiculous, I can make a printout with another telephone too.

yeah, but another phone using its camera to take a picture will have limited access to the phone with the banking app open, plus the user will have to be actively doing that, vs something running in the background recording the screen and sending button presses on the compromised phone 

in most DLT, after three years of non-payment, the vehicle is 'off the road' and you are supposed to surrender the plate and logbook, to get it taxed and legal again you have to re-register on a new plate plus any fines and back taxes of the three years.

you would need some 'convincing' for the DLT staff to jump through hoops to re-use the old number plate if it was special to you

you can also voluntarily surrender the plate and stop paying any taxes earlier than 3 years

I took the bike to another agent and they just changed the oil, so that tells me the first agent did not change the oil at all and still charged me. Anyway thanks for your input.

Did the first 'service center' put the detail of what they did in the service logbook? 

Honda also has their online system for each bikes, if the dealers used them, the 2nd place you went to could have checked that or you could have told them that you were already charged for oil change last time.... or did you even went to the same place?

if you showed up with no logbook and don't tell them anything and they see the change oil light on, of course they're gonna charge you for a full service unnecessarily 

the forza has service reminder light, maybe they forgot to reset that or don't know how or that it need to be reset when you had the oil changed

Lets say the car failed at the yearly car inspection(for cars older than 7 years?), do they keep that record in the computer or a you free to try another garage?

the garage sends their inspection report, with video of the test to the DLT so that they can't just test random car, but looks like they only keep it for a couple of weeks, cause if you went to pay for road tax later than the date on inspection report, the inspection you'd done is no longer on file and you have to have another one done.

But I think you are suppose to return to the same garage in case you failed, subsequent test is then half priced, if you go to other garages you have to pay full price 

did they have blood donation at the school?

If on the other hand I am mistaken and the Op wants the 'kid to pay'... Does the kid have the Por-ror-bor (3rd party insurance) for his bike ?

 

If not... then its going to be difficult to get any money without police involved. If so, then the insurance should chase it up. 

 

 

the compulsory 'por ror bor' third party only covers injuries, not damages to vehicle or property even if the OP had first class insurance, his insurer will be going after the kid for damages
