    You can get travel insurance to come to Thailand but if you don't follow the rules everything is negated and this is why we're reading about these idiots now.

    This is Thailand Doh.

    Not necessarily. When there's an accident here where insurance isn't held then the police will decide as to who pays what. In this case I doubt either parties have insurance. So the likelihood is that the motorcyclist with be told to pay for the shop damage as well as the uninsured motorcycle. Thereby increasing the family's GoFundMe.

    I did when I first left the UK. I was so determined never to go back there.

    I have a BB gun and catapult. If I had to choose it would be a catapult. I use kids glass marbles as ammo. Normally both bought in 20 Baht shop.

    Must depend on ones locality !!!! For an IO not to notify you on their visit is taking a big chance on you being in. Not really viable to drive 100+ km to visit someone who isn't in.
  9. IvorBiggun2
    No it doesn't. They're not the ogres that you, or others, seem you seem to be making them out to be. Sometimes you'll come across an officer that is dogmatic but generally they're very helpful. It makes their life easier to help you rather than cause them problems.

    I totally agree mate. Taking a couple of hours the day before ones IO visit, to do the 'extension' paperwork and implying the task 'hard' is beyond belief.
  11. IvorBiggun2
    I have to disagree. It all depends on what one defines as 'easier'. Personally I don't think so and that's why I can't admit it. Showing 3-4 photo's and a couple more photocopies is 'harder'? You're having a laugh.

    Of course it's weird. The Immigration officer isn't going to steal 1,900 Baht from his boss opening himself up to prosecution.
  13. IvorBiggun2
    Yes I've done both to know. And I have 3 children and they are not required to attend the IO as you indicated. 'My daughter and my wife had to also go to the IO' no the children do not have to attend. Photo's of them along with their birth certificates is adequate up to the age of 20. Then you do not have to acknowledge their existence. They then become adults in Thai legality.
  14. IvorBiggun2
    What 'family' do you have to 'drag into the IO each time'? And it's only about 2 photocopies extra one has to provide and you can have access to your funds well before you can on a 'Retirement Extension'.

    I got my first home visit after about 13 years. Buriram IO. Have now been married 17 years.

    I can assure folk that if you're driving an hire car then the insurance is valid.

    Because I didn't reply to the question doesn't mean I don't know the answer. Doh
  20. IvorBiggun2
    Please read the opening post.
  21. IvorBiggun2
    On a Thai license you can drive for 12 months in the UK. For the second time of being asked.
  22. IvorBiggun2
    You can't cure stupid.
  23. IvorBiggun2
    You can drive on either license. The Thai one is only recognized for 12 months from day of entry. Thereafter a UK driving test is required to be passed.
  24. IvorBiggun2
    I call BS on this post. 'No receipt' for an extension? No, the whole post is ridiculous.
  25. IvorBiggun2
    Stay out of it. If it goes tits up he'll be looking to blame someone.
