What should I do if my eVisa payment is showing as pending, but my bank has already processed the payment?

Make sure you turn off all ad blockers etc. Mine went through 3 times (according to my bank) for payment but they reversed 2 without me asking.

Can I buy a car in Thailand and register it in my name as an expat?

John *********

Check with the dealer. An Isuzu and Toyota dealer here in the south required Thai driving licence also (new car), whereas Mitsubishi did not. They had signs on the counter in English.

Is it normal to get questioned at Thai immigration after multiple tourist visa entries?

John *********

It's been this way since I first came in 1998. Nothing has changed for the worse. In them days, you had 15 days before you had to bounce.

@Ayman **********

What it all boils down to is that you're using tourist visas to remain in the country to live here. They don't want people doing that. If you're under 50, there are very few other options but there are options and you're not using them.

What are the best free VPN options for viewing UK TV?

@Jeffrey ***********

I can't recommend Cyberghost. Had it for 3 years and gave up trying to stay connected to iPlayer etc. They have dedicated connections for UKTV but they rarely work because they got blocked quickly. Currently looking into IPTV.

I believe for the first year you have to do 800k, then the following year you can use the monthly deposit.
