thanks for the advice,

still researching,

must consult a lawer,must find the price of the cheapest wood house,

must look ito clay houses.

must stick to the topic

hi,

need advise on a similar situation,

i'm high up in tha mountaims where the land has no title,would love to build,

i'm only reseaching the matter but i could buy land for a pitence and build a house on it,

building in wood so i could in theory take the house with me if things went sour,

i would loose the money i paid for the land but that would be about 150,000.

my girl friend says the owner could stop me taking a houe off what would stil be his land offically,

anybody been there or done that,al advice welcome

you lost me a bit - you say the land has no title? - but you could buy it (presumably in GF's name)?

so are you saying if things went sour the GF could stop you removing the house? bit honest of her because she's probably right unless you went to an awful lot of trouble to get the house in your name = yellow book = marry her = half hers anyway = you lose everything

is that it?

sorry for not being clear,

the land has no title,there is some way i can buy the land in GF name with the approval of the poo yai baan and when the land office gets around to giving it a title her name would be put on it,

i've just been offored land for 30,000 baht,

i'm going on the premise that it's a gamble and i will probably have to walk away from the land and you should never gamble what you cannot afford to loose,

but if this happens could we be stopped taking away the house by the previous owner,

i'm just exploring how to live up here,all the chanote land seems to be in the valleys or hills,here is so much more beautiful,

we would probably end up living there for a few years anyway and if i had to move and by chanote land i could take the hit,nothing ventured nothing gained,

you can have the name of my company if you want to try them,you would be useing your foreign reg instead of an invoice.

the invoice is to show that you've paid import tax which some how exempts you from road tax,i think only temporarily while your getting your bike regestered,but tomporary can be indefenatly..........

you can insure them,

the motar tax office has told me so,the insurence company has said so,i know thai's who have done it

and now farangs on this site have done it,

the nearest we've come to people actuallly claiming is basjke who was paid by another party's insurer,

i'm still waiting to hear back from my company's english email enquiries,

happy christmass

never get pulled by the police up here once they see i'm a westerner but i know it's different elsewhere,

everythings fine aslong as i don't crash.

want to know what happens then,

re-insured my un registered,untaxed cb400 this morning... 600 baht

based on frame numbers. Just a local MOT and insurance place, no idea who the company is.

who knows if it does what it says on the tin, but got it in case i get asked to present papers to a police station...

good to hear from UKWEBPRO,met another guy who had a bike insured without regestration so they are insuring bikes without reg,the next question is are they paying claims,

i appreciate thaivisa.com's view that this cannot be true but would like to know incase .........god forbid.......................

have found the companys website with english inquiries,looking forward to seeing what they will say,

You say there is no registration number but do you have the registration book ? If you do not then you cannot get the bike insured – sorry.

From the information in the registration book the insurance is simple to obtain and yes, you can get 2^nd Class for motorcycles which is Third Party, Fire & Theft !!

thanks for your help,i was glad to find this forum,

the bike is already insured,i have no regestration book as it has not been regestered,

i have an invoice which the broker accepted.

thais seem to think this is perfectly normal for offroads,it was brought into the country in parts and assembeled.the invoice is 20 pages with every part included except the engine.

every body thinks i'm being neurotic,thais and expats alike,people just says don't worry the police don't stop you if you are a farang,

and they don't up here......but in an accident...........

i have 2 policies and i stil don't know if i'm insured,

do you know if your insurance is invalid if you don't have a licene,like on cars.

thanks again

We will need to see these insurance policies you have in order to help you. Please email a copy through to :

insurance [a] thaivisa dot com

Any insurance is invalid if one is breaking the law – and not having a License is breaking the law.

hi,

couldn't e-mail anything from here so i've faxed the documents,

lets see what you make of them,

thanks

bought an offroad with no number plate,it had an invoice in my girlfriends name,

brought it round to the insurence broker,asked him could he insure it,

he read the invoive,said it had no engine capacity or engine number on it

and that he'd have to ring head office,

head office said yes because it had a frame number,

so he asked me what cc it was,

then i asked for third party insurence and every one seemed to think i was "kriat".

he'd never done it for a motorbike before,

things got a bit complicated after that,translation being the major problem,

anyway,he sold me 2 policies,one for 600 baht which i presume is compulsory insurence,

another for 1600 baht which is"dee thee sut",the best they had but nobody can explain to me what it is,

it's in my girlfriends name but i'm insured to drive even if i don't have a licence,

according to him,

and you cannot insure a motorbike for theft in thailand,

as i SAID EVERYTHING GOT BIZARE,EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS BEING NEUROTIC WANTING THIRD PARY,

then the insurence policy came in the post,it said honda dream instead of honda TFR,

then i found out the engine cc might be 225 instead of 250 as i told him

eehhmm.............does anyone know,1-am i insured with no licence,i have an irish licence for a car.

2-can you insure a motorbike for theft

3-does it matter about the cc being 25cc less than i told him and dream being on the form instead of TFR.

i love this country,it's just like ireland 20 years ago,

thanks in advance for any info

When I went to Laos in April there was a person in front of me holding around a dozen application She left the line and came back a few minutes later with someone from the embassy who opened a second line with her at the front. The people with her did not have to wait in line but they did have to go to the desk when she called them.

Lots of travel agents arrange visas for their clients here in Thailand. Hard to believe there are none in Laos.[/quote

this is where i got the idea of using an agent,i saw one with about 20 passports in the vientiane embassy,

but cannot find a travel agent advertising it on the net.

some thing tells me it's too easy,if this was the case i could use a travel agent in huay sai,

and wait for my passport to go to vientiane on the plane,

thanks for the help but i'm still in the dark

hi.

i'm in chiang rai province,i must do a visa run soon,

does anybody know if i can get a thai visa in luang prabang,

i know there's no embassy but is there a travel agent that does thai visas,

this would save me going all the way to vientiane,

would appreciate any help.
