is plenty, that's enough for 6x 4k videos at once, or 60x 1080p videos at once. Most people grossly over estimates their bandwidth needs. If you want faster go faster, but a usually person would never feel the difference between 300mbps and 2gbs.

Higher end Index helmet are good, like Astro. Real is also good local alternative.

if you have a second residence in isan and want a local car there, then you just need to meet the local requirements for a resident certificate (you need to check with immigration as each office has different requirements) then you are okay.

I would not recommending using resident certificate from a different province from where the car will mainly be, that might turn out to be more headache... Especially considering if you end up with a red plate.

not trying to confuse it. If he wants to buy the car, buy the car, drive it back to where ever their home is and get a resident certificate and get a plate for the province he actually lives in. Not a good idea to get a plate from from a different province through some trickery.

because they took your paper work to LTO and got the book in your name 😉

You don't need a resident certificate to buy a car, you need one to transfer the name in the book.

Your resident certificate should come from the province you will license the car. An immigration office will not give you a resident certificate from another province.

Notary is not citizenship dependent.

What do you need notarized?

If you need a US notary, the only place you can get one is the embassy, or use an online notary service.

If you can use a Thai notary, then any law firm can help you.

Correct. They have to, to ensure the copy was alternated from the original.

I lived in Cebu city and now in Bangkok. No experience with life outside the cities.

I love PH, but there are a lot of downsides. Thailand has a better value. Infrastructure is way better, the government and privates business operate far more effectively. No more "out of stock" and horrible customer service.

I think overall, for the money Thailand has more to offer and less frustrating, and no on asks to barrow money. PH is more fun and a bit more foreigner friendly though.

Definitely agree with Alex, safety is also a big difference.
