Great advice on such as the Toyota Vios but it will cost "an arm and a leg" secondhand compared with UK prices. People really don't get the idea of cars as a luxury and with taxation accordingly - and that passing through the life of the car. You are absolutely right on cheap parts and cheap - and knowledgeable - local servicing. In fact in country areas often difficult to do it any other way. What I don't understand

@Linz ***********

is why choose a place as outrageously expensive as Phuket - and especially for taxis. It's pretty notorious.

No need to be rude. I'm fairly sure that's not how I did it. I also seem to remember that for cell phone different again. I'm afraid I'm in the process of moving, no idea at this point where my "paper" trail is. Probably screenshots somewhere + one of the legal businesses did a full-on step by step guide. But it's not space I'm either in or expected to be in for a time until my next report. I'm up to my neck in my current research.

But the regsitration was prior to and separate from the TM47 link, which is a login link.

@Steve *******

Yep, but you need to be registered for online 90 Day reporting first.

@Neil ***********

I haven't forgotten you. There are 101 guides to 90 day reporting online, none of which mention that you have to register to report online. That is beyond stupid. But the plot worsens in that it was always more than a little opaque as to how one might register - the rest then falls into place. At this minute I'm failing to find any link for registration, but will keep trying. Bits of the Immigration system seem to be down today - maybe that's why.

But, surely, Cary's point is that you would be in the correct time window in so far as the system knows.

Many Thanks. I'll certainly try it. The obvious way forward seems to be scans of passport exit and entry stamps to add to the paper trail. And you have plenty of time to fail and present at Chaeng Wattana - now they're back there I don't mind that much but previously it was a no.

Thanks, guys. As I guessed, doesn't join up. Though yep, I was focused wrongly on the return rather than the leaving. Whatever, they seem to have successfully negated online.

Simply EMS it from the Post Office. I've used between Thailand and China, and that was great value and speedy.

Go to any local solicitor in UK who is a notary public. They normally charge a tiny sum of money - which goes toward the tea and coffee that week in their kitchen!
