  1. Certainly crazy car prices here. My  friend in Australia just took delivery of top of range fully optioned Non turbo Honda Civic made in Thailand. This was brand new and he had to wait 2 months to get colour.

    Price A$26000 which converts to 572000 baht.

    Same car here would be 900.000 plus and would have less options.

    So does the manufacturer get the extra 300,000baht to subsidise exports or is it government taxes?

    Maybe the manufacturers just think the Thais are all wealthy.

    Still good places to eat.

  3. Cheap ones are usually rubbish. Make sure there is replacement batteries available for the ones you buy.

    I brought 3 from Homepro the batteries gave up ghost 1 @  3months 1 @ 5 months and other 8 months.

    Luckily my wife worked there years ago and knew management. I got refund on 2 and  1 replaced which is still working after 11 months.

    I now hard wired in 2 Led lights cheaper than cost of 2 solar. Electrical run was 20 metres.

    Brand is Elektra.

  4. You will require the same in bank for both O or OA visas. Think your info wrong OA requires 800k for retirement and insurance.

    Only OA marriage ext does not require insurance but requires 400k in bank.

    You could show overseas payments if in correct method to reduce bank balance but what a hassle.

    If you got the 800k changing to O be best option if possible in current circumstances. 

    Talk to your local immigration they were very helpful moving me from OA retirement ext to marriage ext to avoid insurance.
