buying a car in Thailand as a foreigner

[faraday]

What's with the 'cars in Thailand have no heating?"

 

They do, I know they do!

Why do you keep going on and on about "you" having a PC problem, this is the motoring forum..

 

Have a chat with admin if you think "your" problem is their end...?

For your information I have several times with NO response. I did reply but after several tries and getting a blank screen it gets very tiresome  I don't see it's any of your business anyway unless or maybe as I suspect it's just to get yet another post on. Time to get some sort of life??? There is one out there you know.

I don't think so, this is several times he has replied to my problem post. Last time it was he doesn't have a problem. Might be a good idea to look at replies to the Mods and see that many others have similar problems.

Then start your own topic until you get the answers to fix your problems...

Not moaning. Just trying to point out that TV has a problem. Have just been trying to start a new topic, and TV wont let me do same.

 

But if anyone is interested it has just been announced that F Alonso is retiring from F1 at the end of the season. That's according to Sky UK news several minutes ago.

Buddha only knows, Sorry to say I cant use your cheap Charley set up as I need at least 60M/B to run my free Tv channels on my TV. I also am situated next to a Uni and they nick all my power unless I have Fibre optic. So TOT 120 M/B it has to be. Count yourself lucky as I have to pay 800+ bt a month for it. Then again it is worth it for the thousands of Tv channels I get.

That's strange, my cheap charlie stuff does all that...Perhaps you should stop slagging off TVF and get your end sorted, eh...

I've still got Dial Up, & mines way faster than that.

 

Maybe you got de finger trouble, na?

Maybe it is more easy to import a car to UK after brexit? I would check that up.

So im aware of the challenges Re heating etc... to two main things i need to work out are what is the paperwork process. RE:

1. Buy Car - Whats the best way to xfer that kind of money to Thailand to get it out as cash? ~ £5k
2. Transfer ownership from Thai resident to me - What is the process for this RE paperwork etc
3. Export  / de register the vehicle.

 

I know there are some cars with engines changed (will be checking for this), and that parts for certain cars are hard to get in Europe however i will be making other trips the Thailand and so this shouldn't be an issue.

Getting it into the UK is not my concern its how to get it out of Thailand and the process thats alien to me, thats why i was hoping you guys may have some insight into the thai system bureaucracy .

 

Cheers
