Me Too,I Was Offered 100,000 For my 20 Year Old Mitsu G Wagon with only 154k Kilos on it,Hardly Run-In for a Diesel,I Reckon a TRUE Trade in Price would've been Nearer 300,000 Baht as it's in Immaculate Condition Body Wise & Drives like a Dream.....
Still, puzzles me how they can live in Thailand if they don't have 1,900 baht for a visa extension....I Think You Forgot about the 400k /800k In The Bank account....
. My IO was disappointed when I went that route as she had offered to provide same service for less than my agent charged........Name & Office Please M8......Or it never happened !!
MOST (without out a doubt) are using agent to avoid financial requirements for money in bank method.
Some folk simply don't have the funds and others that just don't wish to tie up money in a Thai bank with next to no interest. I Agree with You 100% Jack.....
