I plan on getting a retirement visa next year and living 5 months out of the year in Thailand and seven months in the U.S. with my Thai girlfriend. What have other people done as far as owning a car in Thailand that will only be used for 5 months? Is renting a car for 5 months an affordable option? We do have someone that can drive the car occasionally so it won’t be sitting the entire 7 months without being used if I decide to buy. We will divide our time between Bangkok and Hua Hin.

Buy a car or rely on taxis and public transport, in Surin Province? Thoughts please 🤔
