    So glad I went to Chachoengsao to do my license.

    At Jomtien Immigration, you can get your residence certificate in 20 minutes (or less) for a small fee (I think it's 2 or 300 baht now). From other threads it seems that if you are going for 2 different licenses (car and motorcycle) they will (usually) accept a photocopy of the residence certificate. (Or Immigration will give you two separate ones.)

    Went to the DLT. Handed over my paperwork. Woman at the desk checked the application, medical and residence certificates and all the photocopies. I sat in the waiting area for a few minutes, then she comes out and administers the 3 tests. No video session.
    After that the paperwork went to the main counter. After a short wait I was called up to pay the fee, then sent downstairs to get my photo taken. A few minutes later I walked out with my new (still warm from the printer) license and was on my way. Took roughly an hour all told.

    Went back to renew my license last January and it was almost the same (except I had to zip off to get a new Medical certificate). They had a different colour test and that time she tested about a dozen or so people in a group (including me) so it was a bit longer wait until I was called up to pay the fee then sent for the photo.
    Still, probably wasn't much longer than an hour from start to finish.

    Got a few years before I have to renew again and I'll probably go to the same place again unless something changes in the meantime. From what I've read about the process in Bangkok and Pattaya, driving to Changchoengsao and back is still quicker and easier than going to either of those other 2 places.

    Can you provide more information on where this office in Chachoengsao is located please? Google Map? GPS Coordinates? Thank you.

  2. I have a small Kubota B2420 tractor that I have purchased an aftermarket loader for from the USA. My problem is that I am mechanically challenged and need a good mechanic who can handle hooking it up to the hydraulic system and doing a little welding to fabricate a bottom bracket. Am in the Chonburi/Rayong area. Would appreciate any contact info that can be passed along to me of anyone who can do the work.

  3. I did find a Thai guy in Pattaya, Piek, on Sukhumvit Soi 45 who builds the VW Beetle based buggy's. However he does not use the Meyers Manx kit which is what I am most interested. I believe that Thaivisa member Elistu is/was the owner of Porkchops Buggy Shack. He last signed into Thaivisa near the end of January so I am hoping he signs in again sometime soon. Otherwise I may have to go the other route with Piek. Photos below of his work.

  4. You cannot get 35% Food-Grade Hydrogen Peroxide in Thailand but you can purchase it online.

    One of the best suppliers IMHO is a UK-based company.

    In reply to my question about possible confiscation by Thai customs they said:

    "We have shipped to Thailand on many occasions and have not experienced any problems. Shipping usually takes around 1-2 weeks."

    FYI I found this company whilst on another website:

    What are the normal shipping costs?

  5. At the Canadian Embassy when getting proof of outside the country income. What papers are needed?

    tyia

    I just had the Canadian Embassy provide me with a letter addressed to the Thai Immigartion Bureau. I showed the Consular Officer at the Embassy a copy of a Letter of Employment from my overseas employer that stated my monthly income. I then filled out an Affidavit form, swore that the contents were true, paid 1,600 baht and I had my letter all within 30 minutes. I'm not sure I would have even had to have a Letter of Employment as the Consular Officer said they had no way to verify the contents. The process is simple.
