Thanks for starting this thread, useful to get recommendations - I'm close to a build so would appreciate his line details too. Could you please DM ?

Thanks for all the replies, I went to China town, no issue without ID when paying with cash. Also paid via scan - no ID required, but then they have your ID bank a/c anyway.

Paying in cash

When buying bullion in CM, do all shops now require ID ? I've tried one so far which did and wonder if its a government rule these days ?

I need an engine rebuild on a Mistubishi Strada G Wagen 2.8 diesel. Can anyone recommend a reputable garage / specialist ?

Thank you will research - I hadn't realised I could apply domestically

If one leaves Thailand with a non-O retirement WITHOUT a re-entry permit then a new application is required as far as I understand. Can a new application be done in Laos if you are not a local resident ? It appears to be the case on their website, just requiring the 800k in a Thai bank account but I wanted to check if anyone had experience of this. Please don't say just get a re-entry permit, as that is not the question. Thank you.

Thanks all - looks like I might have to sign up to Facebook perish the thought!

Looking to furnish a house - Anyone know of forums or groups for second hand household items for Chiang Mai?
