Thanks for the reply, regarding the work permit, google states:

 

'You can legally own a car in Thailand as a foreigner but you need to have a Non-Immigrant Visa and a Work Permit or Proof of Address Document (the later can be obtained from immigration Officials but you would need to be renting a house or apartment)'

Am I reading that wrong, maybe just proof of address is OK?

 

Regarding transferring to my wife, I do fully get what your hinting at heh, but no worries on that we have owned stuff together in the past and I have also transferred her much larger amounts of cash for her then to give me (was cheaper that way) but to be blunt I 100% trust her in that regard but I appreciate the warning/hint.

Thing is, I wouldn't be able to transfer it in BKK right as I am registered as living in Maha Sarakham?

But that aside, lets say I wanted to do the buy it open to transfer to my wife back here, am I correct on the 3 pointers I need to get from the seller? 

Also, you mention technical control center, do you know where this is and how much this costs? I am pretty nifty with cars (or at-least I think I am), stuff like lights, tires, oil, idling temp I can test myself, is an interesting idea if it isn't too much bother though,

Really appreciate your reply but I want to head off Monday morning so wont have time to get proof of address etc now (its the weekend) and really its probably just easier to put it in my wife's name, I have had like I say full trust in her in that regard, really more interested in if im correct in what I need to ensure I have before I drive off back home,

 

Thanks again


 

 

 

having a new car ......one can not drive from one province to another..which is stupid... its like a person buying one in the north of England but one can not drive over the border into Scotland....like the pace called Berwick on Tweed....

There is always police at the toll booths on Highway 7 , so obviously , once again somebody was doing something illegal , but the police choose to look the other way.

Now just imagine if it were Foreigners sat in the back.........Kerching $$$$$.

One of my  biggest gripes with Thailand................which rules MUST I  follow, it seems to be a pick and  choose culture.

follow the rules of the road....and drive to the conditions.....

pickups DO NOT just flip over...they are very heavy....SPEED is the factor here in my opinion.....

go to FROST in Pattaya gets cold minus 10 to 15 c

Yet another driver breaking the law carrying people in the rear of the pick up.

How many more deaths and injuries have to happen for this practice to cease

Poverty is a contributing factor in these accidents as well as appalling risk management, lack of police enforcement.

Police should have the power to stop them, suspend licence and confiscate the truck immediately.

 

 

AGREE but They Never do ANYTHING....i see these pickups leaving Jomtien beach late Sunday afternoons with people crammed in like sardines !!!

That's an improvement - it's usually 60.  Must be the police action preventing pick-ups from speeding.

what Police??

Then sorry but your knowledge is wrong. The LAW says NO PEOPLE can ride in the bed of a pick-up.

The LAW also says motorcyclists must wear a helmet, drivers need a licence and insurance, and not drive p..sed up. !

very true but where are we Mr. Danson??!!!

Zero sympathy for any of those injured who were squatting in the rear of the pick up, my 7yr old knows its a stupid & dangerous thing to do, but then i doubt if that registers with the victims. The one common denominator i have noticed with these incidents is that the drivers of the overloaded vehicles have to swerve to avoid another who allegedly has cut them up.

it is becoming anothe favourite excuse "cutting me up"

Thailand has set certain conditions to be eligible for a visa exempt.

One of these conditions is that you need a booked ticket out of Thailand within 30 days if you arrive by plane.

Usually this is not checked by the IO, so you usually won't have a problem at immigration if you don't have this.

 

But this rule is also programmed into the tools the airline check in staff uses, for example: https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/TH-Thailand-passport-visa-health-travel-document-requirements.htm

When you check in the airline staff at the airport will put your data into such a system. If you enter a proposed stay of 31 days the system will tell them that the traveller needs a visa. They will check the passport for a visa, which they won't find. Then they will inform the traveller that they can't let him board, because their system says he is not eligible to enter Thailand.

thanks for the info....but it NOT really concern me....the poster should have made sure that HE/SHE would be in the clear to travel.....

never heard of RIMPINGS where are they and what kinda store are they???
