  1. It is amazing how many people make posts that are INCORRECT.

    It is legal to drive here with most European and USA Full licenses. FULL STOP.

    I have asked Insurance Co. I have asked Police, I have asked Lawyer, I have asked Consulate. Are they all wrong ????

    I have shown UK license at police stations when paying legit fines, I have had Insurance Companies repair all scratches etc, before I sell car to get new one. I have shown license to Insurance companies to buy new/renew insurance. All in the last 14 years !!

    P.S. I have also been asked to pay 'on the spot' fines for having 'wrong' license, I REFUSED to pay, I have never been to jail !

    Wrong!!! You need a International Driving Permition!!! A lot of policemen accepted your national one but it is against the law!!!

    The onliest national driving licenses what accepted by the law are from ASEAN countries.

    But no problem for me. I have both from Thailand.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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).

    More infos under http://www.customs.go.th.

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

  6. 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!!!

  7. 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>!!

  8. 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.
