Quote If you have a non immigrant visa than you can transfer the older Licence into the Thai Licence at the Testing Ground and this isn't really easy to find . But it is near Toyota and Honda Nakhon Sawan (this is outside of Town on Phitsanulok road - if you go outside town it is on the right side) Well I never knew you could do your licence there  , Your right if you dont know where it is then it's not easy to find its also where you change the regestration papers if you buy sell a car and do the anual check up.
Where in Nakorn are you? I usually do mine in Takli as its closer and our Auntie used to run it which made things a little easier  I thought you had to have proof of address but it been a long time since I've done mine.
If any of you are ever around the Tak Far/Takli area feel free to pop in for a beer or ten

Stupid question. Are there any taxis in Nakhon Sawan? I am arriving by train and then need to go a further 45 minutes outa the city to the missus house. Any logical way to get there other than bus?

hi there,
Taxis no, Tuk tuk some , does your missus have any friends/Family with car? What is the exact place you're going too?

Hi again,
some options...one is you take the Bus from Mor Chit (Bangkok Bustation) that leads to Phi chit or you go by train to NS and than take a Tuktuk to the Busstation in Nakhon sawan (opposite Pimarn Hotel) and go from there to Phi Chit. I would take the option with the Bus from Mor chit to Phi chit...
hope that helps,

Thanks

Or just take the bus from BKK to Pichit. Or a Mini bus from Chatachk market might even get you closer, can get ones that go right past my house (highway 11) there, and they end up in Ta Tago about 30 min from Pitchit so I'm sure they will have ones going all the way.

I don't know off ANY rental shops in town(Bikes or cars),but i will ask my girl if she know's of any,and get back to you,ok!May i suggest buying second hand?Not expensive,but i don't know your finances or travel arrangements,but if here for a while,buying is a good option.Oh,please buy a helmet,we don't want to lose another farang,haha.

Hmmm,it seems that Nakhon sawon is not so good for rental bikes or cars,maybe the only option is a second hand bike,if you are here for a while?Otherwise,how good is your thai speaking?If you have a Thai friend make up a list of places you want to go to on a regular basis,in thai,you can show to the motorbike taxi riders,it is very cheap to get around,and maybe safer then riding yourself! Also remember that in places like Pattaya and BKK,it is not uncommon to have your rental bike stolen,by the people you rented off,then charge you full price for the "lost bike".You are responsible for the bike,no insurance from them.  They love us Farangs SOOO much,haha.okay,happy shopping,oh,how long are you here for?

Lat time i was there i noticed a lot more farangs than before, the fairy land is now a tesco. all the decent bars are accross from Sawon park but beware one or two of them can be a bit rough, 2 xmases ago someone was shot at one of the bars so i was told . it seems to be all the young Thais against Thais so not a real prob for the likes of us, i just wouldnt want to be around with guns goin off an all. the Big c is a good place to eat as there's a lot of choice.

DaveYo, on 2005-05-29 15:45:16, said: Hi, yes you can move teak, but make sure you have a permit from the Forestry Department, cause if the highway boys stop ya, you will have a mess of explaining to tell without that permit.
Teak wood is prized wood here in Thailand. And it is getting in the protective stages now.
Most foreigners rent homes here, and some of them are married and have their own houses too. Rent for a house is around 2,000 baht on the average. In some cases they might hit you up to 4,000 but that is rare. Same for townhouses if you want to be in one of those Sauna homes. You can find a nice spiffy small one for around 1,500 Baht a month too. Usually just on the outskirts of the city itself.
I think living in the outskirts is much better than being squashed like a sardine with the people in Town. This is my opinion. If you need to do a visa run, you can go on the highway and head north to Mae Sot. Total time to do this visa run tops out 6 to 7 hours depending on your driving round trip. Reason of the hours is just going thru 80 Kilometers of mountains takes me 1 hour one way. Doing the visa walk and stamping on both sides takes you another hour. So really the highway itself is only 3 to 4 hours tops round trip. Best time to do this run is leave here around 4 AM and you arrive in Mae Sot around 6:30 to 7 am, and then leave Mae Sot around 8 AM and arrive back here around 10:30 to 11 AM . Doing it this way you avoid most traffic both ways. My Honday City uses a full tank of gas on this run. The mountains burn up a lot of that fuel for the most part.
Oh by the way don't bring Pop cans with you thru those mountains. They automatically decompress (inverted) and swooooooosh comes out your pop!!!!!!!!!! Plastic bottles much better, but open them from time to time to equalize the pressure altitude.
The foreigners are scattered all around town here. I bring my two dachshunds out to Big C and do my shopping with them in the cart. So if you see a shopping cart with 2 Dachshunds, then you will be seeing me either right there or near by it.
Other than that, Nakhon Sawan is OK to stay in, but trust me BEWARE of those motorbikes. There is so many here it is literally soon going to be called Motorcycle City.
Daveyo
Where can you rent for 4,000 baht per month in Nakhon Sawan, my wife is from Nakhon Sawan we return there in a few months, when I mentioned these prices to her she was surprised how cheap.
Are there any rental agencies, or is it just a case of driving around looking for the "to-rent" signs ?
Regards
Arran.
