  1. Been lots of posts here on Thaivisa about whether an IDP is required here in Thailand. I've always thought an IDP is a legal requirement, others disagree and say the home DL is legal enough. This new directive seems to clear up ths now old debate.

    Wrong!!! The most police men accept a national driving license. I believe they don't know what you show they or what is the different between a national and IDP.

    But to drive in Thailand you need a INTERNATIONAL DRIVING LICENSE!!!

    Only tourists from ASEAN countries can drive with a national driving license.

    All other is complete nonsense!!!

    Phuket Provincial Land Transport Office require it also for Thai Driving license.

  2. Heartburning start for me when I was 14years old. I used a lot of medicals to controll it but .... never something helped really.

    Antacil was my favor tablets in thailand but now I use only OMEPRAXOL!!!

    In 2007 I made my last endoscopy and my Doc said later that I had a unrepairable hiatus hernia. They can try to fix it but this never want really close again.

    Him suggested me to use Omepraxol and now NO HEARTBURNING anymore. I take only 1-2 capsules weekly. Mostly before I eat heavy or spicy food.

    You can buy Omepraxol in every pharmacy. Price for 14 capsule is 65-120 THB.

  3. I never paid a deposit to a hotel!!!

    Not needed in 1/2 * - 2 * Hotels, right. tongue.png

    I don't know!!! Is this your experience? I used all the time 3-5 star hotels like Mövenpick, Maritim, RIA, ... and never paid a deposit. Maybe I am more trustful as you, Alfredo??? :-)

    Also I use a lot of times booking.com or hotel.com and never been charged a deposit.

    Think about to change your name, maybe this will help you next time!!! biggrin.png

  4. If you buy small products from aliexpress.com you don't will pay tax for the most things. For bigger pakets they will charge you.

    To import under the Freetrade Agreement China/Thailand you need a Certificate of Origin 'F' Formular for what the china seller must apply at his local government office and fax or email it to you. At next you must registry your import to Thai Custom with the form 'F' and the bill from the seller. They will charge you 7% VAT of the bill (included shipping costs).

    Can't connect now. Looks like the webmaster is on vacation. 555

  5. I don't know but I realize that the most people here never know that the BRAND products what they bought in europe are produced in china.

    And for all this things it donät give a IMPORT TAX to Thailand because Thailand and China have a freetrade agreement!!!

    So NO IMPORT TAX!!! Just 7% VAT!!! But double or 3x expensive as in europe!!!

    This is Thailand!!!

  6. In real the thai police must put a lot of freaks in the monkey house!!! How much you must pay in GB or EU for no helmet? And for call a taxi to drive to your helmet or a shop to buy one, because without you can't drive 1m?

    And here you <deleted> call it BRIBE???

    If I am at the police station I would put you all in the monkey house for your complains!!!

    Every freak read about the accidents and you idiots drive without helmets? Thai police must lock up you <deleted>!!

  7. Don't listen about all this stupid idiots. This can be!!! I paid for our house only 350.000 THB. 3 bedrooms (2x 24m²,1x 12m²), 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen and a 35m² living room on 1rai. But my thai family worked a lot for building it too!!!

    Important is that you can believe your wife and her family. Some of our workers told my wife to get extra more expensive bills, ...!!! But my wife is 100% in our family, So I pissed off this workers.

    The most expensives was the roof, gypsem work, and tiles. All others was cheap.

  8. Don't forget, the most saled electronics in Thailand are produced in Thailand and in China. So it don't give an import tax on the most products.

    Thailand has a FreeTrade Arragement with China.

    In my eyes a lot of things are so expensive because it don't give a real competition in Thailand and everyone want earn so much they can.

    Maybe they make price agreement too? Who know it!!!

    But what it give here?

    Shoppingmarket: Tesco Lotus, Big C, Makro and some small one. No discounters like WalMart, Aldi, Lidl, ...!!!

    For electronics Powerbuy and ..... ??? No other big one more. In Pattaya NumChai but that's all.

    For computer and parts it is the Com7 Group (Banana IT, Apple, ...), J.I.B. and Hardware House.

    How much profit Tesco and BigC make, you can see at all small shops what they build now everywhere. :-)

    No competition = high prices!!!
