Re: Buying a SUV?

It takes longer to make and register the plates than it does to make the car. What a typical Thai stuff up.
Have you paid both the registration and Por Ror Bor? Or are they telling you that ihe fees are included in the purchase price?

That is correct, as posted several times.
The branch number is the first part of your account number, which you also have to provide.

Evil barstewards. Those poor kids, it is unbelievable. I think for custody it will depend on if your friend is shown as the legal father, nothing to do with being married.

Re: Buying a SUV?

Nobody has commented on the Pajero turn with its Pick Up chassis - or is it better than other pic-ups, but with no test drive this is difficult to say? It dosen`t really have anything to do with the "Pick Up chassis", unless you consider the suspension as part of the "chassis". ...

Re: Snake Bites

It may depend where you both live and walk around! I have not seen any in my Condo, but do see them in my house garden. If you work in a rice paddy, or a cane field, look out! The following link gives some numbers, but better still, has good photos of snakes: http://www.tm.mahidol.ac.th/jitmm2008/do...

Sorry to hear of this, mate. For Christ sake be bloody careful if you go to Hat Yai. More so if you have some idea who may have been the perpetrator. RIP.

Re: Water filter

If it is stainless steel, you are fortunate that it has not sprung a leak before now. Most of them are of very low quality stainless. Yes, it sould be backwashed regularly, with the flush water let go to waste. Inside it should have a combination of diatomaceous earth and activated carbon. The mater...

Stiebel have a service centre in Bangkok. They would probably either post you one, or tell you where to get it. English email to them seems to work ok.

No, no, if you need multi entry, then you that is what you need to apply for. Single entry: 1,000 Baht, multi entry: 3,900 Baht.

And either of them only good for up to your "permitted to stay" date.

Re: What's the correct date my visa needs to be extended from?

Now I need a multi re-entry permit. But looking at the form I need to complete, it asks for the dates of my planned trip, specifically, the date, month and year of departure and return. Now this might sound daft, but is that actually necessary? I always get a single re-entry with my yearly extensio...
