Sounds like par for the course for anything to do with the Govt.
I would be more concerned that I heard you will not get annual pension increases if they know you are abroad.

So even people who work for TAT and do not have any real opinion can have problems ? 555+
under the radar and having never declared my address anywhere I still do not have any problem ❤️
Enjoy your "official" life guys... 555+
It's so funny that only people who want to do the correct things have problems !
And what will ever happen to me if I had to meet any rat official ? I would just pay 2000 thb and then still be under the radar for the next years !
Funny that people are making their own problems and then complain...
Is your Visa handled by an agent?

but don't worry someone will be along to tell me I got AIDS.
So Farang, you admit to having been away. Vee is ze Immigration Police have veys of ensuring you file your TM30.... You know ze penalty for failure.
As for contracting HIV.... is this an admission you are concerned because you strayed to the Ladyboy side of Soi 6?

I admire Richard Barrow for having a go. Immigration will only lose face if they refuse his visa. Unfortunately, in Asia, the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.
The TM30 and 90 day report are insulting to foreigners. How can you give someone a visa and then expect him to report like a criminal to his parole officer?
The petition was not a complaint but a polite request. There is an opportunity for Immigration to do the right thing here.

Racism. Farangs are being persecuted. It has become a Police state. Do they think I'm gonna waste my time filing a TM 30 while on a weekend break?
Why is the Thai Govt doing this? Are they afraid we might take over the country?
Maybe they might take notice if we all refused to comply? Though I can't see the Farang community having the balls to stand together.
In what province are you staying?
Bangkok, so I have to put up with CW Immigration where I feel like a convict reporting to his parole officer.

I can accept filing if I were to permanently move house. But for 24 hours travel??? No, I am not doing it and I will refuse to pay if they fine me. Maybe if enough of us stand up to them they might get the message.
It brings to mind Hitler's persecution of the Jews.
Will they have is all wear a badge that says "Alien Farang" next?

There appear to be a lot of "nuts loose" at the wheel here.

It's all about greed. Overcharging the sick is.... pretty sick.
Money and medicine are a bad mix. At least the Dept of Trade is trying to do something about it, but hospitals make so much money they will just laugh at the small fines and carry on as before.

"rubber production would drop by at least 30 per cent" .... does that mean condoms will be 30% smaller?
A Malay rubber plantation owner once told me Thai rubber was comparatively poor quality as the greedy Thais over milked the trees. He explained that you have to allow the tree to live if you want more rubber next year.... Sounds typical of how Thais milk everything to death.

To easy to end up burned out here. You see old Farang in places like Pattaya beer bars..... burned out and drinking beer for breakfast.
Not much different in Da Phils, just more poverty. I recall meeting one Farang on a beach there who was so alcoholic he carried a bottle opener on a string around his neck. He got through a case of beer every day.
You need to go back home to be reminded of why you left. Then try somewhere new and totally different. .... South America?
As for the Thai girl asking for 4000 Bats. I met a Bulgarian hooker here who wanted 20,000! Well past her sell by date too. Nope, nothing is as good as it used to be, including me!
Never mind, at least we had fun getting into this condition.

Purchasing and shipping the engine are not the problem. Getting Thai Customs sticky fingers off it is! They have a nasty habit of impounding things and demanding ridiculous sums to release the goods.
Anyone know someone who does Thai Customs clearance?

Hi runner, yes, it’s 30 days.
Do you have to file a TM30 for your car when you return?
I wonder what happens if you exceed the 30 days? Do they fine the car for overstay?
Actually, some cars go to Cambodia and are never seen again!

Is there a time limit on how long you can take the car out of the country for?

There is a guy runs a small shop in Cholburi repairing wheels. Near the CP factory. His Tel 086 112 6882, 080 644 2330, 087 096 3849. He does not speak English so you will need a Thai to talk with him. I have seen him repair worse than yours. Question is, how safe are they once he's finished?
I can't read the make of wheel on your photo but you might try tracking down the manufacturer, in which case they would sell you one wheel for +4000 Bats.
Even if the tyre looks ok, its core will have been damaged. Needs to be replaced.

even then when i approach women around sukhumvit it feels like they either want money or know they can do better so they reject the approach.
In what manner do you approach them?

Ridiculous this obsession with tourism news and daily changing numbers and statements. MS>
They are not obsessed with numbers of Chinese tourist taking a crap on their streets.
The Thais are obsessed with GREED.
There are 1.5 billion Chinese, lets hope they all show up at once and the Thais get buried in crap.
As for those of us who live here, supporting Thai families and sick buffalo, .... keep filing your TM30.

Cleaning injectors... proper way is to remove them for cleaning. Avoid fuel additives as some are corrosive and cause engine wear.
Rubbing compounds... there are abrasive grades of these. Try T Cut which removes the film of grime without being too abrasive. Then polish.
Another good product is silicone wax rubbing compound which does 2 in one.
Avoid the highly abrasive types and ladyboys who only want to polish your knob.

Amazing Thailand... You can fall in love, get married, have the honeymoon and divorce.... all in under an hour.
Love in a duty free zone.

Having read others comments I come to the conclusion that even if the cake is made of sh1t the Thais will put icing on it so it looks ok.
Similarly, when cornered, they will lie to cover up a problem. Then blame you for their loss of face (deep isn't it).
Image is everything, substance is sadly lacking.
Can anyone explain why they are like this? It drives a westerner nuts.
There has to be a way to turn their inadequacies to our advantage but I can't figure out how. They are useless yet Farang never wins.

Is it worth the hassle and expense? You might do better to simply buy all new when you arrive.
