  1. In case anybody else is interested in this: The going rate for setting up a limited company is round about 10k baht including government fees. in case the registered capital is only 100k baht. (I've seen offers as low as 5k though, but I guess this doesn't include the government fees etc. then) There is a government fee in the amount of 0.55% of the registered capital, so in case of 2 million baht (required for a work permit) instead of the 100k minimum, this adds 10450 baht. The company that I'm using now says they charge 3k per month for basic accounting stuff, submitting monthly tax reports etc, if it aren't took many bookings. If you contact one of the companies focusing on foreigners, they charge about 30-100k baht on top of this.
  2. Every bigger town will have a shop with such a machine. It is by the way possible to get the rubber off with tire irons, the same way they do it with tires on a Honda Wave, but it's a pain in the ass, and they might be afraid to damage the rim, but if there is really no other option it's possible. The bigger problem might be to find a place which has a tire for you in stock, but I guess for a Forza it should also not be too big of a problem. But if you have a flat tire on a road trip, in most cases a tire plug will do the job and get you home.
  3. Because they don't have the machine to get the rubber off/on the rim, because usually people don't go to Honda dealers to change tires, this is why even the Honda dealer in the next town who might have such a machine had to order the tire for you. Usually there are shops that specialize in changing tires, they have the machine as well as tires in stock.
  4. TM28 form is still used, but certain groups of people are now exempt from it. There was no change to the TM27 form or the use of it, but the TM27 form has never been used by immigration, so it just exists theoretically.
  5. There is no limit, this rule written on the embassy website was abolished many years ago.
  6. Emergency treatment is free for any Thai at any Thai hospital non-emergency treatment is free (30 baht…) at their registered hospital. Your wife just has to register at your local hospital, rental contract is sufficient as evidence I’m relatively certain that nearly all Thais know that it’s free, but they hope that their foreign partner (ATM?) will believe them and they get money from them.
  7. Afaik the CRF300L is only available in the low version in Thailand, with shortened suspension.
  8. As pointed out by others, ask the management which providers (AIS, True, 3BB...) are available (may be just one), then contact the provider and ask what they offer (some condos have only phone lines, then you can only get 50mbps vdsl, if your condo has fiber you have all the options, the provider will know what's possible)
  9. You can either live with it, or just buy another plot of land. Buying it in the hope that you can change it will just cause headaches.
  10. I'm looking for an accounting/law firm that will handle setting up the company, do accounting etc.
  11. Going to set up a new limited company. Majority shareholder will be Thai. One foreigner in the company, requiring work permit. I'm looking for a company which will handle setting up the company, getting the work permit, and will do accounting (it's a real company, actively working). Do you have any recommendations for me? I'm also interested in the costs, so about how much did or do you pay for those things (registering company, work permit, accounting)? It's not important if they can speak English, the most important factor is if they do the job properly.
  12. Every 12k, who told you 5k?
  13. According to the article he only had two guns, one registered, the other not. The others were toys.
  14. One original, one copy of each is sufficient
  15. The law is 100% clear regarding this matter. It refers to people with permanent resident status.
  16. The law is clear, a Thai citizen or somebody with permanent residency status needs to have a Thai license. Foreigners with any kind of visa can use their foreign license with IDP.
  17. There is no accreditation. If you want a stamp you could just buy a "certified true copy" stamp, that's as good as the stamp from any agency.
  18. Certified by who? The Thai government doesn't certify translators, you could just have your spouse translate it.
  19. That's wrong. @OP: You got it right already, that's how it works. The last time I did such a transfer was 2 years ago, but then it worked like this, I doubt that it has changed since then.
  20. It's explained in the links which ubonjoe posted in his first reply, you just need to read it.
  21. It's always the vehicle that's covered. In case of a named driver policy, it only means that if somebody who isn't a named driver is involved in an accident, they will have to pay a "fine" (a few thousand baht), but the insurance will still pay out. Class 1 insurance is usually not possible on older cars, and also doesn't make much sense. So you are looking at a class 2 or 3 insurance. Just contact a few insurance brokers/companies, get quotes from them and compare them.
