Whoever you choose as your 1st class ins. agent will take care of your road tax and mandatory gov't ins. Costs about 100bht . Better than standing in a line at DMV.

Hello,

My Thai Wife, new born daughter and myself are relocating to Thailand next year.

What are the typical financing deals available in Thailand when buying new and second-hand cars?

I can get approx a 10% return on my money. I'm considering whether to use cash or financing when buying a car.

Thank you.

Regards

Arran.

Tell us where you can get 10% on your money. You are likely not eligible for financing here.

Hi guys,

I need a bank account in Bangkok as my Thai friends often ask me to buy stuff (fashion, gadgets) from overseas while I'm overseas.

Which bank should I head to? I'm just on 30-days visa-free entry.

question 2, if i draw money regularly from overseas, will there be any problem?

thanks for help

You used to be able to but I'm pretty sure a foreigner now needs a work permit to open a Thai bank account.

"I'm pretty sure" actually means nothing but "i have no freaking idea but present an (un)educated guess". two of my friends opened bank accounts a few months ago whilst on a 30 day visa waiver, another one got his account a few days ago (Siam Commercial). all it took was having a little polite small talk with the bank's branch manager and a bundle of cash

I said 'pretty sure' because I have recently opened x2 bank accounts, x1 at Krung Thai the other at Bangkok Bank and both said I needed a WP to open an account so I do have a 'freaking idea' and it wasn't an uneducated guess either. Yet another total prick who uses this website and is always eager to knock people who are giving genuine advice. Bullied at school were you?

Friend just opened acct at Siam comm. with 30 day VOA. This was upcountry though. Have had others open in BKK on tourist visa. Try Siam or Kasikorn. Look at other posters not just someone who has a problem opening an acct

They have a Princess brand bread machine for sale at The Mall and also at the Amway place in Korat. I don't know if it's a good one or not; I think the Severin brand one from Verasu is better (and it's the one I have). I like the quick cycle that produces a loaf of bread in an hour.

Plain White Bread

1 ⅛ cups milk

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups bread flour

2 teaspoons yeast

1. Add all ingredients, in order, to bread machine.

2. Bake on quick (58 min) cycle.

My recipe calls for 1tbls of sugar and same for oil and yeast. Too much sugar and it tastes like Thai bread.

Went in recently and got our 5 year license in Cha Am. At that time we were told when we renew in 5 years we will have to take the class.(all in Thai) They never mentioned the test. Asked my Thai friend and she said they told her the same thing. Of course this being Thailand in 5 years who knows what the procedure will be.

Yesterday the driver's license officer told me that when I renew my 5 year license I'll have to listen to the one hour lesson and then take the test. In fact there were some renewers at the office yesterday who were about to take the written test. This was at the Bangkok office.

So increase the rules for law abiding citizens, but what about all the unlicenced drivers in this country? Any law changes for them?? So how many other countries make you resit a test every time you renew?Sounds like another money scam to me...

Surely a money scam. Imagine all those 100bht. notes.

This is the page from my book..

Bike is a 91 Bandit 4. In my GF's name.

My GF says its about tax, but while her English is conversational, technical translations like this she struggles to do them word for word.. Maybe someone with 100% Thai reading skills could help clear it up.

My 92 HD has same,same on page 18.

Get 1 of the local car mags. New and suggested used prices listed.

I get a letter from the local BIB to verify my add. Works for dr. lic. and vehicle reg. Letter costs 200bht,much cheaper than embassy letter.

Down the street from Topland is a local place called Kola Fun and another called Lady Jane's is where expats hang out.

Don't have to SHOUT! Caps mean shouting. New to the internet as well? Kan is small enough that you'll find all the night action first night out.

There's actually no more paperwork involved. Your wife has no experience in doing this so is overly cautious. You'll likely find the same pick-up in Surin for the same money as BKK. Changing reg. is not a difficult task.

That's correct. Change ownership and reg. from where ever to where you are without going to where it's currently reg. If you're really worried about a book being dodgy then go to issuing office and change to your name and just pay yearly tax with it being reg. in another province.

You can use your Phuket add. to reg. the bike from where ever. So go to the reg. office with seller and change ownership before you leave.

Your local amphur or police can issue 1 as well small tip

Do you want to write to them or go there?

Bought a bike in Phuket reg. in BKK. Transf. to my name in BKK with proof of res. from up-country.

I'm sure any local could tell you where the office is. Tuk tuk driver.

I'd like to jump in here and also enquire about a sale from fahlang to fahlang. We are both hoping to transfer payment by Euro via our home banks.

What is the procedure?

Thanks.

For as much as the Harley clique like to extol the fact that having one is a sign of independence and this and that, I find it rather telling they wouldn't let someone express their individuality by leaving the stock pipes on it....and it would be individualised because I've seen maybe 2 in my whole 29 years of life that haven't had stock pipes. Everyone else puts V&H or something on their bikes; I always wondered why.

With normal driving you should get around 100k.

Looks great,now change them pipes.LOL

They can issue a double tourist visa in Laos. The bus stops at the border so don't worry about visa beforehand. You can apply for Thai visa is the morning and pick it up the next day in the afternoon.
