sanook 1

Anyone ever used a cranetruck with a driver in thailand and knows the cost, per km(distance) or hour? 

Thanks! So its immigration at suvarnabhumi/Bkk airport that will do the transfer upon re enter? Only bring old and new pp +letter from embassy?

Need a new passport soon and would like the 1 year marriage extension stamp to be transfered in to new pp. Does the embassy do this (if i visit them) before i re enter thailand or how?

would they issue a new visa (non o) at savanakhet or vientaine to be valid until the expire date of the passport? Pp expire august next year.

Cam chain. No problem so long as it's not noisy. Inside oil filler looks clean, probably had regular oil changes. No sign of white emulsion, which would indicate blown head gasket. So why the query?

Thanks! When i googled most answers where that the petrol(this one) had belt and the diesel version has a chain. So good news if its undeed a chain. 

This chain appear when open the oil cap on the engine, is it a camchain? 

Rented a click 150 cc before, could honestly not feel any difference from the 125 cc model.

Do you need newly taken pics each year or use same as last year extension will do? Roi et office if anyone with experience. 

I believe the "sor kor 1" is land given by the government and is not real ownership, is that correct?

Is it possible to somehow transfer/change the name at the land office with a sor kor 1 title? 

Is there a possibility to upgrade the land to chanote somehow?

I believe the Tabien ban has nothing to do with who owns the house/land.

It states who lives there,if you rent a house your name can be in the blue

book.

Only for Thai people,for foreigners there is the yellow book.

Thanks! 

Should the name in tabien baan state/match with who is the owner of the land (no chanot) the house is built on, or can the landpaper be in another persons name?

The first page that shows the house number on it and the page your wife's name is on.

Thanks! 

For non o marriage extension, which page of the tabien baan do they want a copy/signature of? Is it the one with number 1 and 2 (next page) in the top right corner? 1 and number 3 on same page/down right?

Just completed the Non-O, no proof of funds asked for..

 

Followed the list of required docs on their website, was all quite easy. The embassy didn't open until 9:00am so had the sun burning on everyone for 30+ minutes.

 

There's a charge of 100 baht for going through immigration, then further 1500 baht for the Laos visa, and a leaving charge of 50 baht.

 

They have an airport-style scanner which seems to be used to stop people bringing back Beer Laos and Heineken. 

 

Starting to get busy there with Chinese on tour buses, I'm not sure I'll do it again, bit of a mission from Phuket.

On Entry to laos did they ask for vaccin cert/atk?

I did a land border to Laos yesterday with my wife, she had 3 vaccines but the clinic she went to did not give her paperwork to prove it, they asked for it and 300 Bahts later in their pocket fixed the problem.  Welcome to Thailand/Laos, same difference.

Which border crossing? 

If anyone else done the actual route feel free to reply.

543 km in 8:09.

That estimate gives average speed of 66 km/h.

Taking into account that there are some four lane divided stretches, this sounds conservative. Might make it quicker.

But as usual: two lane highways are a gamble with possible columns from slow moving vehicles etc.

But as Kenny202 writes it's unlikely that there is much traffic.

 

I did 560 km to Pattaya without tollway in less than 8 hours a couple of times with appropriate breaks (no more).

Mostly four lane though.

Thanks! True that at 66 km/h average should actually beat google maps timing.

Im not sure about the road numbers but from Khon Kaen I go down through Burriram. Other way for me is via Korat. I hate belting along on motorways so going inland a much more pleasant and scenic choice for me. Dont think there is even any real time saving going down the motorway either. Once you are past Burriram area go through some beautiful national park and mountains. Very easy safe drive and seldom much traffic. Lots of places you can buy fruit on the way too. Done the trip at least 5 times and always enjoy it...and I hate driving lol

Thank you! I guess the time google maps estimate is on the lower side since its smaller roads or does it seems to match actual driving time? 

As the title says and which one would you recomend? Google maps gives me 2 choices. 1:Rd 2040 and then Ah 121 via Buriram.  2: Rd 215 and then 2208 via Surin.

From my understanding its quite common that thai people make life/health insurance for the elderly in the family. 

Mother in law is 70.

Would it be worth it or the premium is to high at that age?
