  1. Proof of address is required, LTO offices usually have a qwack sitting nearby, think 100bht a paper....
  2. You cannot buy a new car without it being registered and the gov issuing the plates and registration book. There have been delay's in getting the white plates in the past down to the gov being behind in supplying them, though the BiB would probably know nothing about the delay if they were after giving a ticket etc. This is Thailand..
  3. And maybe has more balls than most of us eh, for doing so....
  4. You just need a visa of some sort, you will get a 2 year provisional licence. If you have a licence from your country, you will just do the reaction, colour blind, and the alignment tests, plus a medical, which nobody fails and costs next to nothing. I did have an International Driving Permit.. You will watch a daft video for an hour. You can drive on your UK licence for 90 days. Motor and bike licences are treated separately, including the medical paper..
  5. Perhaps he owned a garage or bought them off a chum with a garage....
  6. At the red plate 30 days, you can go to LTO and get a written waiver for the police, as your plates have not turned up, I did that once....
  7. You want to get the BiB involved over moving into an apartment a day late....................The mind boggles............... Even the BiB will cost you money. Sleep in a cheap resort for one night with your dog.....Gawd..................
  8. Many years back I hired a car at Ubon airport, it had red plates for which I knew nothing about. I had it for a couple of weeks, even drove down to Bangkok, drove around at night, never had a problem....
  9. Try threatening the gov folk, who are meant to be sorting the problem, with the sack for lack of action.... Pay the army/police for use of their helicopters to do a bit of fire spotting patrolling. But, nothing will ever be done using common sense..............
  10. Perhaps we are mostly not like yourself, ol' chum........????
  11. You may not have been charged, most do because they cost the garage money. Many years back I was charged a deposit of 3000bht...
  12. Car white plates are supplied by the gov, they have a gov stamp on them. The red plates are owned by the dealer, you pay a refundable deposit for them whilst waiting for the white plates and registration book. You can only use the red plates for 30 days, or risk a ticket. You should get an interim brown book to fill in whilst on red plates. Yes, it is a daft set-up.....????
  13. Links please to back up your blanket accusation......
  14. I always take a KR2, just in case, it is proof you are still married, wife gets it the day before we go.........................
  15. Here ya go, 15 year old Panasonic, below a new one in action...????
  16. No, the guy who reduced crime in London, the present guy overturned his progress.............????
  17. Nope, I am gradually replacing my originals.....
  18. Isn't it strange, they don't put boots on the ground to stop the burners, or is it, it doesn't help because the boots will take envelopes....
  19. Get Boris back in charge of London, send the present guy out to pasture...
  20. I was in the trade, but not a shoemaker. I brought 2 pairs of shoes with me from the UK, they are still like new, and I reckon about 35 years old...☺️
  21. That is very cheap for hand made shoes.....???? Make sure you look at samples....????
  22. Excellent switched sockets, LED "ON" light....The link has a few different ones, you want the ones with the earth at the top, like western sockets.. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i1069974483-s8783904910.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=
  23. A head is a head, what ever one's age.........????
