While we on the subject.. my licence expires when I'm 70. If I don't renew it straight away as maybe not need too as I have a Thai one.. do you think there is a time gap to be able to renew if went back to live in the UK... Would you have to take a new test if laps for say 5 years.. I know you would have to be cirtified health wise to get a licence over 70..

Yes .but book has to be updated on day of going to immigration. And to update has to put money in.and has to be say £20 if UK account. You cant put in say a 1000 bhat.. they won't do it. I had to go currency exchange to get the £20. And the note had to be perfect.

From my experience. Apply by VF global. Fill in info . pick an opiontment date and time.. some are free and others pay for .so depends how ergent you need.

Let's try get through to you this way. If you are a Brit and didn't have a UK DL you can drive up to 1 year in UK with your 5 year Thai DL. Still clear3 as mud and I thought Thailand had confusing rules... .but I do have a UK licence so why are you missing the point.

okay sounds about right i just found this site https://www.gov.uk/driving-nongb-licence and even thats confusing well it was to there 3 questions as it said i can drive for 12 moths but only from when i became a resident ??? Driving in Great Britain on a non-GB licence You can drive in Great Britain on your full, valid driving licence for 12 months from when you became resident After 12 months you’ll need to apply for a provisional licence and pass the theory and practical driving tests to drive in Great Britain. Your answers Start again 1. Are you: a resident of Great Britain? 2. What kind of driving licence do you have? Full car and motorcycle 3. Where did you pass your test? Any other country

i am hearing what you are saying .but could that mean for a forigner can drive in UK up to 12 months . but im sure they have missed a bit out of the rules .; saying a forign licence can't be use in your own country of birth or registared where you live . do to only having a UK passport .. may be duel nationaly where you have two passports would be okay .

so okay thanks just trying to see the pitt falls ,

yes . . but if i dint have a i proberley would not have a thai licence . as how would i have got to thailand in the first place ,lol

so if that means you can only drive for 12 months of entry .they would have to check passport and they would then see you are English. and not thai ? so back to the question can you drive in your own country on a forieng licence?

Thai driving licence question. I have a Thai driving licence and a UK driving licence and when I go to UK , could I use a Thai licence E.g. if I get stopped by the police could I show them my Thai licence ? . they would properly ask my address but that’s on the Thai licence also if this is the case would I have to get an international driving permit for the Thai licence ? or can I just drive on the Thai licence ? So what I’m saying is when you are in own country UK could you use a foreign licence? If you ask me why I’m asking this it has many reason e.g. I could get points etc on UK licence and also not in my case but some people don’t have a UK bike licence but they do have a Thai bike licence. If they found out I had a UK lience could this be a problem?

Also while on the other end when you want to leave.. I found they don't want or have no money to give you the deposit back.. and as you pay for rent in front. You should pay again one month before you leave.. but been told by mates oh don't pay the last month. But doing as it should be done in UK I paid as he would be holding no deposit. That..was a mistake as I said . No money to pay me back deposit..so had to deal on some furniture that I did really need to at least get some money back..

As there seems to be some variation on how to deal3 and get the licence. And using an agent cuts the red tape.. so I would not take this as gospel if you do this yourself .. also odd that a residents cirtificate valid for one year as the ones you get from Pattaya only valid for one month.

So when you say visa extension do you mean retirement extensions as well?

Note if paid into a Thai Bank account your won't get any pension increases. The amount you get will always stay the same .

We landed in Norwich. And they questioned her. I showed flight that had a return and I think that persuade the immigration man.to say okay.. it's not all about lettings you fly . as can come down to arrivals may just send you back if not happy..so as the Thai say upto you...

How many watts does a 12000 BTU air conditioner use per hour? roughly 900 watts per hour so nearly 1 unit an HR so 5 bhat an HR not too bad. A 12,000 BTU air conditioner uses roughly 900 watts per hour,

I have one 65inch smart TV I can't get the hang of internet TV. So using a laptop connected to TV ..I'm very pleased with with sound and colour and sharpness.. mine was on offer 6months aga for 10.000b

In uk its called easy start... They do sell it on Lazada.

I think we all know the government don't want to stop people breaking the law.simple as that.

I had a problem in a old house with asbestos sheet roof the air would be set 24 but the room would only go down to 27. I bought fibre glass foil covered insulation from home pro ..layed on my ceiling tiles. Now working good sleep good at 24 .. job done

It sounds like you want something simple. But . buying refurbished.is okay but don't expect the same spec as the new one... As some phone day model but the spec you can get is an older model.as watch the spelling.. like Samsung to sumsung...thats a give away..

Very true action speaks louder then any word .. especially in Thailand. So all fall on deaf ears..

Well as it.s a money orientated country .it could work. But very wrong.. for a democratic country.

You could always set up a company then buy the House in company name. Fees would be around 15.000 a year.. but would be safer for your 4 mil.. your could be main director or equal directors

It seems like some people get this and some don't .. if done via agent you don't get it. I have had it for the last 3 years but never bothered to show amount afte 3 months or so but had no problem as they can look at bank book on renewal to see balance via the all year... So can't see why they do this.. but upto you.. as they don't stamp anything in passport to say you showed or not..
