Not necessarily Im sure many (sane) people adopt the same principle I myself do which is to only put money into Thailand that ultimately you can walk away from. .

Give the guy a break, its a moto-cy - doubtless a twist-n-go step thru not a custom Harley I have one of them myself in Pattaya...chained to a railing while I'm back in the UK....if its gone/nicked when I get back, well boo bloody hoo, Mityon here I come. The ethos of 'theyre all out to get you' is all well and good - but driving y'self demented over trivia only leads to the sad cases you see in Pattaya - checking the change their GF returns out of a 50BHT note after a trip to the food cart with that suspicious all knowing glower. .

Im uncertain what the rules are (I always thought you needed Non Imm'O' for vehicle reg) But if the guy in the dealership wants only the 'residence' letter from Jomtiem - go get one...they issue them for many reasons - such as opening a bank account - basically on request. From memory its fill in the form, get copies (passport rental contract for where you stay etc) /photos leave it with then and call back for the letter a little later (& pay the fee). Oh - & avoid lunchtime ;-) .

Yes adjacent to a err Soi... Labeled by a huge illuminated sign that even the most myopic of drunks could hardly miss traveling up Sai song

From experience (once arrived on a full 747 that only disgorged 3 cases onto the belt at BKK !!!! what fun!!) You fill in the form They courier the bags to you in Pattaya (or wherever) While you read your travel insurance T&C's and buy up a few Thai receipt books in Friendship .

Beach Road, or the stands/stalls in the supermarket lobbys (Carrefour etc). All of whom get their stocks from Chinatown (Yaworat) Bangkok Youd be far better in Khlong Thom market. .

I'll explain for him its because he's a SUPERCILIOUS TWAT (that happens to be an ego maniac too) .

Wealthy winners are seldom hated Supercilious twats a la Tony often are .

For clarification If you apply overseas for Retirement visa you HAVE to furnish an 'all clear' written Police Records Check If you 'upgrade a Non Imm O' in Thailand......you dont .

Looks OK But of course involves giving money to Tony :-(

Dont apply overseas Get a Non Im 'O' in the USA Then convert to retirement in Thailand no police check .

Yes its hard to get 'Long Term' discount rates...for 'Short Term' stays .

Curiously theres a dealership for Lao beer I drive past dialy Its in a town house unit Why not cut thru all the dissenters and go get y'self a few cases .

Some cheap stuff down Soi Rungland .

3 x 2000THB = 6000THB .

I think you will find it the same on any internet forum When people sign up, contribute nothing, and merely use the place as a vehicle to advertise. Then interject another persona on the self same I.P. acting as a shill for this advertising, and you have a sure fire recipe for scepticism and negativity. .

The dealership will do it for you

Unless you like paying duty......dont use DHL etc They are hand in glove with customs, in Thailand they pre inspect for 'copy' etc. At destination they pay customs the duty....then pursue the recipient (often well after delivery) for the duty plus thier 'handling fees'. If you must go with them use a ficticious name c/o the address youre sending to. Then when the tardy duty invoice comes tell them Pietro Papagopolous bugged out as soon as he got his parcel...and say when they do catch up with him youd like your wallet back too ;-) Post Office everytime.

These threads frankly amuse me You deserve all you get Coming to the opposite side of the planet then squealing like piglets if you cant get your tawdry national dishes, just like your mum makes. Conversely try getting a passable Laarb Moo in Bradford Or a good Som Tam Bhlalar in Yarhoo Nebraska. Sheesh. .

Possible reason for this situation....Nationwide have been running out a new on line security update with a card reader/pin generator device for some on line transactions. This has necessitated the issue of new cards (even if in advance of the existing cards expiry dates). If this was the 'security reason' and reason for the new card, you've been warned long enough and loud enough by mail and when logging in on line. @ bronto I had no problem opening the two secondary accounts. 2nd one I did on line. 3rd one in branch some grumbling about 'these aren't automatically granted' etc I ex

Best combo Ive found..... Three separate Nationwide Flex accounts with ATM cards One Nationwide esavings account Keep bulk of funds in the savings and cascade down (on line) to the three 'drawing' accounts each in £300 increments (the daily withdraw limit). Three strings to my bow if one should be damaged or eaten by an ATM. Effectively £900 per day when I need it. And if one is compromised in some way very little in it to be misappropriated. & yes I too am puzzled by the OP's predicament as NW always declare no need to preinform them of travel etc. .

???? Chinatown (where the Pattaya sellers stock up) .

Much more variety and waaay cheaper in Yaowarat Bangkok than anything youll find in Patts. .

Many threads detailing peeps recommendations for Dentists Bottom price for what you outline....6800 Baht tho like everything else in LOS you can pay as much as you are daft enough to be coerced into. .

You really must follow the Patts Media..... there really is One in Jomtiem , where Russians go to get murdered & One in Pattaya where most people go to dump rubbish (& a few do gooders go to pick it up)
