Last year my friend arrived on an 0 A visa but only stays for 3 weeks at a time and returns again 2 weeks later.  I took him to immigration in Jomtien and explained this to them ( he had only been here 5 days) 

With a very small bit of persuasion 

They said no problem and let him do the 1 year extension then and there as he had brought all the necessary forms and required documents with him. 

Picked it up at 3pm same afternoon.

You don't need to go anywhere. Just get your wife to sign the transfer forms and a power of attorney form so that the buyer can do the transfer themselves. She also needs to give them a copy of her ID card ( front and reverse) signed . All forms to be filled in and signed in blue ink. 

The compulsory insurance stays with the car.

You get paid when you give them the blue book and completed forms. Up to them to do the transfer. 

They need to take the  car with them to have chassis number confirmed with blue book. If it's over 5 years old they will also need an inspection of the car done there.

I completely agree. For myself and the missus using this rerun ferry is 5000 baht.. Far too much money for a ferry. For that money I can hire a minibus for the day with driver and take a dozen of us and probably buy everyone lunch.

 

Someone has got this very wrong and it will probably fail to become economically viable.

 

 

Hmmm. Going to the extreme. 

Your welcome to squash 12 of you in a minibus. As for 5000 baht there and back all in a day.

500k are hardly life savings, when you either need 800k for a "retirement visa" or 400k for a "marriage visa".

 

To be the devil's advocate, if someone threatens to kill my son, taking his money would be the least I would do to him.

 

Aussie victim?..maybe, maybe not

Could well be his life savings....

He could use his pension income for his visa. 

Who is anyone to judge?

Beer prices was the same today. Singha 60,-, Klosters 60,-. but a Coke costs only 5 Baht in this time.

And it was easy to walk over the streets.

I used to drink Singha at 35 baht a bottle in the beer bars in Soi Diamond. 

You sound the type of woman with her nose up her a.. 

Someone I definitely wouldn't want to meet.

There's also the Mirabel on the darkside. Sorry, you'll have to Google it for directions.

Soi 87 sukhumvit. 

Almost opposite the golf driving range.

Just tell him to give his bank account details to the parents together with his ATM card and pin number.

They will love him like a son till the accounts dry.

Seriously wish him luck.

You should try Super Rich or Vasu for physical currency exchange. 43.7 or 43.8 at the minute.

 

On the other hand, if you like posting about low rates I'll give you 20 baht to the pound.

 

 

Don't see how that can be. Mid market price is not even that.

What is he trying to prove and who is he trying to prove it to.

Silly idea at 65 when he should be sitting back and taking it easy.

Silly Idea? 

Who is anyone to judge?

If he's happy, why not.

The prices quoted in the OP must be a very long time ago. 

From what I know, a middle of the road european house build with decent fittings, kitchen,  bathroom etc will cost you around 15k a square Mt.

I'm sure he can still deliver to you.

A few months ago wife and I went into a temple for a walk around. Next to where the monks were sitting in the temple there was about 5 lottery sellers all with tickets priced at 120 baht. Nice little earner. 

Easy to transfer. Sign 2 transfer forms, copy of your passport, resident certificate.  She just needs copy of I'd card and sign the same 2 forms and pay a few hundred baht to transfer.

There are hire places that do rental with insurance. 

You cannot get fully comprehensive insurance on a rental bike. Insurance only covers 3rd party.

Try the rocks by the lighthouse going up the hill past the new marina.
