Talking with dealerships they all say that the interest for car financing is about 3% per year but all also mention (when we ask) that the amount will be also subject to VAT of 7% (for the loaned money only)

Loans for second hand cars are expensive. Interest is added up front, so expect to pay at least 30% on the loan amount. Also, they will hit you up for insurance for the first year.

I started getting Defender warnings about Trojan:Python/MCCrash.B!MTB. It is coming from the narcacist repo. Anybody else getting this?

Brushes and repair services should be available from large box stores.

I am guessing it is not a genuine Bosch. There are loads of fakes for sale.

What would YOU do for the "Identity of the person inviting you to stay e.g. Thai ID card, Passport"  question?

I guess you are visiting anybody, so i would attach a hotel booking.

I think about writing an email to the condominium committee. I guess I should especially mention that what those technicians do is a fire risk. I also might remind them that maybe the insurance won't pay if a fire happened because of work from people who are not qualified for such work.

They may ask to see evidence of the poor workmanship.

FYI : i do not need to login every time with Chrome.

Lazada is asking for security verification every-time i open the site on Firefox. It did not do this previously. I have checked cookie settings and they are being saved. Any ideas?

With a copy of her ID and power of attorney and transfer documents (with her signature forged) he could go to DLT and transfer name in book.

That is what i would do.

Some pictures and a price would help.

@007 REDThanks for the info.

Their website says there is no Express service for legalization of translated foreign passports, but there is.

Thanks. That is good to know.

I run into the same problem as OP about 2 months ago.

I called MFA and was told to go to CW.

So that's what I did. Not very happy. 

Did you use an agent at CW or did you submit it and wait around all day?

I'm not sure if the postal service is still available but I have found the web link (below) to the MOFA Legalization at CW....  Maybe give them a call.... Hope this helps.

Thanks. I have used the postal service before, but this time i am legalizing a passport copy and do not want to send it in the post.

I am guessing all of the appointments are being taken by agents. I may give the MOFA a call and see if there are any agents in the area that i can entrust the donkey-work to. If not, i will have to go to Chaeng Watthana.

Klong Toey passport office you can walk in. At least this was the answer on the phone about 3 days ago for renew a Thai passport of my wife. 

Thanks. I will give them a call.

I will need to get a passport copy legalized soon, but it looks like you now need to make an online appointment to submit your documents. However, there are no available times for Khlong Toi, but there are many free times at Chaeng Wattana.

Is it no longer possible to just turn up? 

EDIT: I will be happy to leave my docs with an agent and let them deal with it if it is possible at Khlong Toei.

Thanks all.

I will be visiting my wife for more than 60 days and would like to know the fee for a 90 day Non O and what are the financials needed as it does not specify the details on the website. I will apply online to the RTE London office.

I could get a 60 day tourist visa and extend locally, but i would prefer not to have to go to my local office.

Just curious, but where do they record to?  Something like Google Drive?

You can pay to save to the cloud through the app or insert an SD card and save locally.

I have 3 c320ws. They record 24 hours or on demand and are accessed with the Tapo app.

I know nothing about welding ,metal work , just watching a video now ,broken

front axle ,snapped clean in half , no wonder the weight they put on those trucks,

anyway on the video he's cutting bits out ,of the axle , and welding it back together,

what I want to know would a welded axle , halfshaft , gears be as strong as original ?

I had some driveshafts welded here when i did a gearbox mod. The shafts were drilled and a rod inserted in the middle of the 2 parts. Then they were welded and machined smooth. However, one did break under load.

She won't listen. She's Thai and she knows better. The wife that is. Dunno how old your daughter is but we all went through a rebellious phase in growing up. It's life. 

I agree. Thais know best, but it not a good idea to bite the hand that feeds you.

In this case, you have a wife problem. Best approach is to talk to her about parenting when there ISNT a crisis happening. Although your daughter may be a bit too old to start now.

Already talked to her and told her that she is the cause of the problems for undermining me and siding with my daughter.
