I drive a Saleng, and have driven the second kind long distance, and unless you are an experienced sidecar driver, I really suggest you test drive the Saleng kind before you buy one. They are very hard work to drive and get harder the more weight you have in the sidecar, NEVER let go with both hands. If you have a heavy load in the sidecar make sure the centre of gravity is far enough forward to keep the front wheel on the ground, if the front gets light it will slide to the left, if the front wheel lifts and you are accelerating, you will immediately turn a very sharp left! When you brake it will want to turn right, when you accelerate it will want to turn left. That said, they are great fun once you get the hang of them.

The second kind (two wheel at the back) are a piece of cake to drive and have none of the issues above.

Interesting… I asked an immigration officer at Phuket Town immigration and was told that an extension to DTV would be THB$1900. As many have mentioned, I guess we will only know for sure in about another 100days!

Yes, this was HK and Ivan is correct, they asked to see HK$150k

@Paul ******

they asked to see the equivalent of THB$635,000.

applying in Hong Kong, I transferred the money in that week. They then requested a larger amount. Luckily I was in a position to transfer more than they requested and they accepted that. If you have more show it, it helped me.

@Klee *************

did you give them a letter from your employer (I know it is yourself) stating that you were to work remotely? I know it is nonsensical but they requested that for my partner.

@Kevin *******

I asked at Phuket immigration what the cost of DTV extension would be and was told THB$1900, same as regular extensions

How do you ensure that the transaction appears on your account as a transfer from overseas when using Wise? I have read in previous posts that Wise transfers appear as a ‘within Thailand transfer’ on your account.
