very little makes any sense here. You just have to live with it.

Absolutely no problem.

@Mike *******

they are quite happy to let you pass on the left.

Correct. Dont forget your tm30 or they wont do 90 day report next time its due.

@Mike *******

I've been driving in Issan for 4 years and seen very little bad driving. Slow driving yes. Its axquestion of getting used to what they are likely to do.

@Victor **********

sorry, I dont understand what you mean by the Thai site. I have done tm30 several times in person all with the same address but as soon as I stay in a hotel anywhere I have to spend the day doing it again. It's a pain in the rear end.

I was trying to point out that even if things go wrong it is possible to get them put right even in Thailand. I now have three Thai accounts and limit maximum daily withdrawals. No sense in not taking simple precautions.

My personal experiences. I had baht taken from one of my accounts. The bank rang me to ask if it was light. I checked and 4 withdrawals had been made fraudulently. I filed a police report and went to the bank where they were waiting for me. It took some time but I got all thre money back though not all at once. I used an agent twice but started getting a number if problems from local immigration office. Could not get cert if residence. They would not update my new passport. Kept telling me to go to where tge stamp came from. Eventually I was warned at bkk airport on entry to get the Visa extension myself so I did. No problems now.

That is great. Will save me no end of hassle if it works for me. Did you have to enter your address?
