We got 45K discount plus free window tinting, floor mats, emergency kit,license and insurance on a new 2.8G 4x4 (1,147M) in April 2017, you have to shop around the different dealers and make them compete against each other if you want a good deal, paid cash 

I bought my 2.8g 4by4 in early 2017 with cash discount 80,000 in Chiangmai. I pay cash in full.

Thank you stevenl. 

 

Can someone please share what are the documents in lieu of Proof of Residence (Rental Contract or Yellow Residency Book or Letter from your Landlord) (I been living in my own house under my wife's blue book, so do I then bring the blue book instead?)

 

 

Do your name written in your wife blue house book? If yes, sure you can use that to apply but I don’t think so or if only you are holding a yellow house book with your name show written in it.

You can obtain the house address certificate in Singapore embassy in Bangkok or your local immigration office, just tell them that you want to apply for Thai driving license. 

You can consider to convert your Singapore driving license to Thai driving license, is best to check with the your local Transportation office for more information.

Dont forget to get the TM30 done in your local immigration with your wife to avoid future problems.

You cannot fix someone being born stupid....

Maybe is not only the issue of stupid but the driver just don’t care about the safety for other road users 

I'm now 50 and have been in Thailand for more that 15 years. I don't have any more choices to choose as my wife and my two kids are all born in Thailand, wish that the Thai government can help people like us to stay in this country with our family forever.

I just renewed my 5 year licence two weeks ago. There is only the colour, reaction and perception tests, plus watching a 45 minute video. That's it, nothing else.

Totally agree with this as I have just renewed my 5 years DL last week and this is the 3th time renewing my as it is 16th years license. Cheers

My way was using my Thai pink ID to open a new bank account and I can just easily show my pink ID with my bank book to withdraw cash any time without need to show my passport anymore. Cheers

Not true!

 

A foreigner with a residents permit  (PR) can be included in a blue house book.

Totally agree with this statement, cheers

But I do gather that Chiang Mai are pedantic in the sense that they insist on a fresh TM30 being filed each time one returns to LOS from a trip to foreign pastures, even to the same address as before. Ditto Jomtien.

 

The OP might therefore wish to check whether Chumpon are similarly pedantic in this regard, particularly if he has any imminent plans for foreign travel.

I return from overseas few time this year and went to make a report to Chiangmai immigration office and was told just to update the TM 6, no new TM 30 have been issued to me at this point and I just go alone without my Thai wife, take me only 5 to 10 minutes. Cheers 

The blue can only use for Thai citizen with Thai blue ID as a long stay foreigner, we can only apply and own the yellow house book + pink ID.

I'd be interested to know what the outcome is regarding the tablien ban and pink ID, if immigration are interested in it, or give you any brownie points for it? i.e. not requiring a witness as you have the same registered address?
 
I have both docs, but haven't bothered to mention them, as at the moment they (along with my wife's house reg &  ID) are for a different address in the same village. Depending on the outcome, it may be worth changing them all to where we actually live, not just registered as living.
I know it's a while before your extension is due, but if you could reply on this thread it would be great, thanks.

You need a work-permit and working and paying taxes for years to qualify to apply for Citizenship or Permanent Residence.  If married to a Thai, it makes more sense to go for Citizenship (cheaper - not including lawyer's costs for either - and full-rights as a citizen). 
See Camerata's thread for the Permanent-Residence process, which might be a better route if you are not married to a Thai:
https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/74654-cameratas-guide-to-the-permanent-residence-process/

 

I'm married in Thailand with my Thai wife and now have two children at the ages of 11 & 12, kindly advice the process to qualify for the Thai citizenship. Thanks

Wow! Another Amazing Thailand again, what are this lady thinking of everyday and night. Only money money money...................amazing 

Wow! Women chops off her husband penis! I just wonder if what will be happen if the wife cheating her husband and what things can the husband chops off from her wife?

she should have take it easy as no matter how she can't do that to her husband and the only thing that she can is " divorce " with him and not doing this. We are all human.

I did fry back to my country with my two Thai children ( 11 & 12 years old ) as my wife need to take care of her mother and can't  follow us for the holiday. None of the immigration officers question about anything, just stamped our passport and fry.

Should make a police report and arrest him for justice, no way for anyone to runaway like him wearing a uniform. What a amazing Thailand again! 555

A angry cop? How can he just so easy to get angry and shoots at the driver like this? What happen if other people get shoot? No one is been charged?This is a amazing Thailand again.

The pass is the pass and what we are talking is the future. Really hope that the new driving training can work but first thing should think of how to stop the corruption to make sure is a true training.

If this is not a tour guide training course and after the course, no tour guides certificate or pass being issues to the foreigners, they are not illegally as the foreigners are just attending the course to sell some products and also can be at they own country.

Also if this course is banned for all foreigners, why the organization still allow foreigners to take part? Look like the organization are the one who need to be full responsibility for this and not the foreigners who are not aware or is this another way just to make money from the foreigners?

Chiang Mai - It clearly states that no extensions will be issued without a completed TM30!

I have just done my 1 year marriage visa extension in Chiang mai immigration office and the IO took a photo copy of my TM 30 and yellow house book for they record. He have told me that with out the TM 30 I can't get the extension of stay in Thailand. As so, is important to get it done and keep it in our passport for the future as I don't have any intention to paid any fine. Cheers

Anyway to me is a lifetime degree would work out better that a education degree, unless he have been in the jobs for many many years to build up his experience in lifetime degree. Hahaha

Tourists are there to enjoy the songkran and this is why they choose to come Thailand for they holiday, I don't see anything wrong with this. Cheers

Chiang mai have started today already and don't know went they will stop
