The requirement for Marriage is 400,000 in the bank OR 40,000 monthly income . Not both.

This is very strange and ive´seen it before in threads like this where diffrent nationalities talk about this subject!

I asked for a Non Immigrant 0 Visa based on marrige this week at the Thai Embassy in Stochkholm Sweden and they dont ask for any documents about banking or monthly income , just the marrige certificate etc!

Same thing with the NoN Immigrant 0 Visa for 50 yo. and above , 200,000b in the bank or a montly income of 65,000b.

Is it an advantage to be Swedish for once?

Cha am a 'big city'...........not quite...its a great place for seafood and relaxing. also it does have a number of bars now with a bit of nightlife but recently a few have them have shut down for various reasons...also its a very hard place to fit in as the expats, especially Brits are very clique and two faced...If your a family man and keep yourself to yourself and enjoy a few beers at a cheap charlie on he beach its ideal....

Yes , have Cha Am as my "Big City" , i didnt mean it is!

Spent a week there last year in March and most things were quiet , just prefect , if i need action i go else where!

Comparing Pattaya and Hua Hin is like comparing Chalk and Cheese. I don't think too many in Hua Hin will be bothered that it isn't like Pattaya.

Dont get me wrong , im fed up with Pattya also after too many years there and Phuket i never visit again after just one week 6 years ago , to over priced and up-nosed for me!

Actually im about to seattle down in the Keang Krachan/ Ya Plong area in a near future and have Cha Am as nearest "big city"!

It´s just a matter of time , counting the days now ! Tick Tock Tick Tock

philipm has/had a Lexus lump with all new hop up internals for assembly at a gooooood price.

Thanx TS , great info. .. i try to tell the kids here we cant start shopping Quads´ , X BOX games , new computers , big screen tv´s etc. etc. at Sawanaphom in June as we dont even have some where to live accept 5 days pre-booked hotel while i look for a pickup in BKK , but Dad got a Lexus V8 waiting some where all ready haha

Even cut the plans of a cheap Harley in Pattis i saw an add on , some Swede leaving!

But i can check with the guy if his in a hurry and how much his asking of cos , it´s always a good start!

Any suggestion's ??

Move to Pattaya!?

Only 6 months ago it wasnt much of an issue to drive a buggy with no plate around, max 1.000 baht fine. Today max fine is 50k baht and 1 year imprisonment. Even for using a legal redplate more than 30 days. Vehicle impounded and sold at auction

Some solve it with illegal registration, which can provide even longer jail time. The member trying to sell his buggys here suggests this solution, comit a crime and pay your way out. Bent books are available, do you want to do the time for owning one?

Very few are able to do it legally

Thailand is changing

Saw an add here about an Ford -28 or -32 some thing pickup imported from the states with a 5 lit V8 , flat black , a true ratrod , was it 750.000thb with the blue book? Cant remember , anyway it´s absolutly NOT worth that kind of money ANYWHERE in the world , must be the fake registration that is so expensive . right?

A beach buggy is made from an already registered VW Beetle, fully road legal with plates and reg and tax. Its just the body thats getting changed and that contains no numbers or even a mention in the blue book, if you look it just says "Volkswagen" and thats it. Then its just a case of paying the 25,000 Baht (this is the present listed rate, if you want it done quick then it will cost more "under the table") at any Thai DMV (yes, a government office) and getting it registered as a "modified car" with an engineers report. Thats it, so what is illegal about that considering everything has gone through the proper channels?

So that´s what they have done with the fake 4X4 Jeeps we can see for rent on for examlpe Beach Rd. Pattaya?

Figured out long time ago they are only pickups with a rised Jeep body on , looks cool in some ppl.s eyes but has never been four wheels driven and will never be .. a jeep body like that cant be to expensive BTW , think they manifacture them in India still or who knows even in Thailand!? Okay you can make one alone but then Thailand will only have an extra weard looking Jeep! haha

What im after is a very light weight body and a modified chassie so it wount need a +500" V8 to move it around , maby a spiced up Lexus V8 can do it?

So when do all the registration questions/answers come flying?

Bao Wee, Pe Hi-Rock, Hin Lek Fai, Jiab Pisut and Lam Morrison

Looks like i loose this year .. again!

You may want to return the car back to stock when you sell it.

Impossible , that car has been modified to much all ready!

Sorry Kenny , couldnt help my self there! haha

Come on mate dont be like that tell us all about modification

Mate .. i can chop tops , cut glas , weld most materials , do all body work , re-paint etc. , i can also do engine , autotransmission and rear axel work , construction of break systems no pombem , ivé done airride suspensions and many more things , i think ivé owned about 50 American cars over the years , including 4X4´s and ivé had a couple of Harleys too!

As i wrote before , i gues i just get disappointed when i open a thread like yours , i kept my mouth shut when you posted your bulton thread but when i saw this one about stickers i couldn´t hold back! 555

Now lucky for you , in a near future i will build a new workshop in Los just for me and my future toys , maby i invite you and you can come look if you want and perhaps you even learn some thing , who knows?!

I have inspected the bush in question on my ride and it is well designed , mine is 4 years old and like new, so ol' chum take it from me the OP's problem l think is not a global recall issue.

Well , lets see this from the bright side , the heat and the smell of fuel from an open firewall makes the ride more HotRod like some how! 555

Was looking forward to being educated as to what a Modified car actually is, but it seems we will all have to wonder!!

It´s a GMT+1 issue at the moment , who like to argue at this hour over stickers on some thing thats not even bigger then an ashtray? haha

It's a bit of rubber at 500bt for Buddha sake. Just go buy your mitsu, rear axle. nissan, crap finish on body. mazda, drink fuel. and see how much you lose when you try and sell them.

Thanx for the valuable information , ivé been asking around before but no one seems to have an answer for me .. it´s still crap they cant mount a 500bt pcs. of rubber! haha

Sorry do not understand your reply, is it relevant?

Each to their own .... BUT i dont think this have any thing to do with modified cars .. gues i get disappointed every time i open a thread and the OP have some one put a bunch of sticker to his car or bulted on a plasticfront or rear end to it but thats just me!

Must be a slow Aprils Fool! 555

Hum , so what they have done is add a few stickers to that all ready "modified soap" , right?

Great job! 555

How strange and at the same time sad on a high quality , hi so and over priced brand , i think i go for Nissan , Mitsu or Mazda after all!

Woohoo , beem me away!

Correct.

Was in the Kaeng Krachan area a year back as im thinking of moving there soon , i saw satellites "every where" in the jungle and thought it was UBC or simular ... asked a "cow girl" who showed us some land if they had a permanent phone line near the land i was looking at .. No , you want for what she asked .. Internet: i said .. they got it here all ready she said and nodded to the disc! Amazing with tecnologie isnt it?

I dont know any company names yet , think DL speed was 4mb .. i can live with that if i can live in this beautiful envirement at the same time!

Pls. let me know any info. on the subject!

£100 for your hood having stick on kevlar look that everyone knows is stick on stuff. Must say l have never seen a ride MADE of kevlar that isn't painted to hide it.

Dont be surprised Na Kah ... it´s a world of fake out there .. cover your car with sh*t i dont mind but in my book plastic and metal dont mix!

Watched on TV 'Turbo' program was a few years old but they wrapped and old VW Transporter, cost 1,200 GBP, the cost of a full respray would have been 2,000 GBP so is cheaper..

Now .. whats´ the price per 1 liter flat black paint again?

Against my wife's advice, I isolated five surviving healthy looking chicks. I thought that maybe these chicks would be resistant to whatever killed the rest. The following day they still looked healthy. The day after that all five died very quickly.

They probably all died of boredom!

R.I.P

Ppl. around here have been painting us cars and others flat black seens i was a kid .. doing it with vinyl only makes it more expensive i gues!

Never had speeding tickets in my 47 yo. life and i like to drive fast , driven in Sweden (of cos) and many other european countries both as a truck driver and private , also driven some 2500 km in Los last year ... thing is you need to have your eyes opened , see places and situations where they might be .. and of cos .. don´t behave stupid , you have to care about others even if you drive abit faster!

Now as im also getting older and probably will recive tickets in the future i will not grunt as 1000b is nothing to cry about in my book , if i like to drive abit faster i have to accept the price , it´s just 2 short times anyway and i dont even bother to go ST anymore!
