One of the FIRST things you will need in a Paper from Immigration 'Proof of address in Thailand' or you can get this from the Embassy at a high cost [apply one day pick up next day] + a copy of your passport to Tent with the 'Proof of address in Thailand' ..

If you live in BKK no idea about the new Immigration office, but last time I went to the old place the 'Proof of address in Thailand' was only sent to the address + took 23 days to arrive but only cost 200 baht, believe now is 500 baht + some offices will issue while you wait or in a couple of days.

Hi

Look out for EVERYTHING from paperwork and on. And you should know there is no good 2nd hand car dealers.
