  1. Just ask them if they will give you a receipt for it. Then it's suddenly 1900THB again.
  2. That's correct, the TM30 registration isn't for you as person, but for the residence. You should give the login credentials to the owner of the residence, so he or a future tenant can use it. If your new residence isn't in the system yet you have to register it.
  3. Netflix in 4k uses about 20Mbit/s. 8k would use four times this amount, so about 80Mbit/s. Far away from 1Gbit/s. Yes, simply throwing the wires over poles also has its advantages.
  4. There are probably other shops which will also do it for you, but the "KT Optic" chain (you can find them in most Big C, etc.) is specifically advertising "free service" (adjusting, cleaning, exchanging nose pads etc.), doesn't matter if you bought the glasses from them or somewhere else.
  5. There is currently just not much point to have 2Gbit/s if you are using the connection alone. Transfering 10 Gigabyte with a 1 Gbit/s connection takes about 80 seconds, with 2Gbit/s then about 40 seconds. For who is this really important? If the server is abroad any such speeds aren't realistic anyway. How often would a standard user even notice a difference between 100Mbit/s and 1Gbit/s? I would say most would never notice it, and the only time I would personally notice is when I transfer a big chunk of data once a week or so, but I'm also not in a hurry then and while having it done in 3 minutes instead of 30 would be nice, this is really not very important.
  6. They could, but looking at the print out is easier for them.
  7. I think this only applies to loan sharks, the loan shark would have no power in this case. Here an example from a bank: https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/loans/car-loans/my-car-my-cash.html Good question, to which I can't give an answer. All I know is that in Germany the owner of the car (bank) would get the car back, and the buyer has to take the loss or try to get his money back from the seller. Maybe somebody else knows the legal situation in Thailand. But as I said, just have the DLT check if the blue book is legit, like this you are safe.
  8. When you apply for or get the extension immigration will put a small paper in your passport telling you the 90 day report date.
  9. The car is transfered in the name of the bank, and the original owner does then lease the car from the bank. So he can't get a new book and even if he could, the book would show the bank as the owner, thus he can't sell the car. The only way to cheat this system would be to claim the blue book as lost and get a new one before taking out a loan. Then take out a loan, doing the ownership transfer in the name of the bank with the new blue book, which will be kept by the bank. He could then offer the car for sale together with the old blue book which he said was lost that would still show him as owner. With a fake blue book he could obviously achieve the same. The way to protect yourself from the second method would be to meet the seller at the DLT, and have the DLT confirm that the blue book is legit before handing over any money.
  10. A person who is allowed to reside in Thailand permanently. Here 100+ pages about how to become one: https://aseannow.com/topic/74654-cameratas-guide-to-the-permanent-residence-process/ Well, here is the "official" law, please point out the 3 months limit: http://web.krisdika.go.th/data/law/law2/%C301/%C301-20-9999-update.pdf I obviously can't prove that something doesn't exist. You claim a 3 month limit exists, so it's your job to provide a proof for it.
  11. The document to which you linked is hosted by the Council of State, they are the goverment department which writes Thai laws, and if any other government department (for example police) would have a question on how to understand a law, they would ask the Council of State. So I call them the highest authority regarding the interpretation of laws. There is no offcial translation of any law, because the only legally binding version is the original Thai version. Permanent residents and Thai citizens need to have a Thai driving license, they may not use an IDP. Section 42, as the previous poster said already. "with the document prescribed in the existing Convention or Agreement between Thai Government and the Government of such country" = IDP
  12. They are the highest authority regarding laws in Thailand, so we can expect them to be quite accurate. But I did actually verify the translation myself a while ago, it's indeed accurate. There is no 3 months limit in Thai law, some people just unknowingly spread misinformation and some people do it on purpose to troll.
