  1. It clearly says on Googgle that HSBC is does indeed just fine re visa renewals . Just as long as you have a Thai account to prove it.
  2. I have owned Condos in my name since 1998 all in my name under the foreighn quota law .Had no problems whatsoever when buying and selling . I currently have 4 in my name .Ground Floor units I hold are in my working company name . Land in a She'll company names Hope that Helps
  3. Think that 2 years goes direct to 5 years now ,hence the written exam which is easy .
  4. IDPs are still allowed as always ,just dont exceed your 90 days or your visa,expirey date .Nothing new,here ..Its in fact better for long term stayers as they will get a 5 year license and not the 2 starter pack. If you are here for 90 days or less, nothing at all wrong with an IDP.
  5. IdPs There is aclbsolutely nothing to worry about . This does not effect anyone as the IDP is permits driving in Thailand for up to 90 days or when their visa expires whichever comes first . Its meant for only Foreigghners who stay over 90 days at 1 time . Nothing changed apart from the written test part which is easy . Again ,nobody seemed to understand correctly . There is no Temporary Thai license anyway . 90 days,is plenty enough to apply and go through procedure to obtain a Thai Driving License . Yes all are covered by Insureance if have a valid license anyway .. So only the written test is differrence ,which is perfectly fair and online with Internation rules ;) Correct ,exactly what I do ,renew 1 day after my Birthday to recieve 6 years .I can update on that early July . All have the same rules . If not staying over 90 days at anyone time ,then IDP is just fine . I am renewing mine early July ..so I will know 1st hand if there's anything changed for renewing .I also do the tests every 3 years anyway as I have an Heavy Goods License here too ...
  6. Again ,its a non issue as they whoever the owner is ,the driver will have to pay to get the car released. There is nothing new about this whatsoever Of course they will not permit the driver to continue if intoxicated .Therefore the vehicle will be put in a compound .Simple as and been like that forever . Who,wants drunkards,on the road anyway ,whoever they are,?
  7. Ot means ,that when the test is completed ,they will give you 5 years and not the 2 years first .Seems fair enough to me . IDPs are still good for up to 90 days . Mountain out of a Molehill yet again. . Its the same almost World wide ... Thats,far better than getting the 2 year and then extending to 5 ..You will get 5 years automatically . Who needs agents ? Its soooo cheap without them,.
  8. And if the car is not in your name ,what ? How about companies and rental agencies etc , thats not fair now is it ? So they can confiscate the vehicle even if its not in the drivers name ? Makes Thai scense only , there's a rarely common scense to be found out here ,)
  9. It is possible but the showrooms will have no idea how to do it .He will need pics etc of exactly what he needs and find somewhere outside to his willing to do it. I have seen it been done but no idea where they got it done ..
  10. Yes,correct but after I dont know .It says he was fined 6,xxx,xxx bht when I googled it ,so make what you will out of that ......
  11. I like yourself have no clue why it is of interest around 13 years after the event ?
  12. I knew Sean very well + I knew,most of the Teachers at that time . All I know it was a drunken rage and totally out of character. Deep condolences to the family of Adam . I just heard it was brought up on Crimewatch .So as,I haven't seen it yet. I have no clue what and why etc etc ?
