Sounds like my type of car. Probably won't be doing more than few thousand KM per year - just local driving. Thanks for the advice.

Yep. I'm leaning towards the rental option - it seems safer and less hassle

Interesting - thanks for the advice

Good questions. For the next 2 years my visits to Thailand will be between Oct to March with maybe a short break back to the UK. My long term plan is to fully relocate to Thailand. I will have a place to park the car but leaving the car unused for six months is a concern - although can get a good friend of ours to keep an eye and take it for a spin from time to time. The car will only be used for convenience to get around probably used daily for short distances. I am looking for a small-ish run around new approx 1 mil TB. Few people I know have advised me to steer clear of buying second hand cars in Thailand. I would be interested in people's opinion on here.

Wouldn't be surprised if this guy has got a history of domestic violence back in the UK.

I'm planning to spend around 4 to 6 months in Thailand every year. I'll need a car to get around. Should I buy new or used, bearing in I'll only be using it the car for less than 6 months a year. I'm looking at several options: 1, buying new 2, buying used 3, long term rental Anyone here in a similar situation? Any tips or advice are much appreciated.

I couldn't agree more.

You need some help, mate

Totally agree! I couldn't have said it better myself.

Wrong time, wrong place. I hope these unfortunate tourists make a full recovery both physically and mentally.

Slippery slope. Jews will be next.

No <deleted>! Who would had thought it? From the most moral army in the world, and the only democracy in the Middle East?

Be honest, the conflict has never been about the hostages. If it were, they would have been released long ago.

Well done ladies, we're proud of you!

Long overdue!

Thank you all for your valuable insight and advice. Initially, we will split our time (six month intervals on rental basis) between Thailand and UK. If it all works out we will buy a property to settle permantly. Thanks again for all your input.

My thai wife and I are planning to retire from UK to Nakhon Nayok (wife has family there). I have visited on a few ocassions but of course it is not the same as living there. Any expats on here from Nakhon Nayok? What are the pros and cons? Any advice?

Sorry if this has been asked before. My wife (Thai national) is selling her land in Hua Hin. She has owned the land for 10 years. The selling price tentatively agreed is 9 mil. Could someone clarify the cost selling ie transfer,stamp duty and tax. Are the fees and taxes based on the land office figures or the actual selling price? I have seen conflicting information on the Internet. Thanks in advance.

Maybe an envelope in the right direction could have sorted this matter long ago.
