Went to Chiang Mai Immigration today (for my 90 day Notification on my Retirement Visa.... the officials were a bit confused with this one and didn't really know how to deal with it and what to do...... doesn't anyone else in CM stay here on a Retirement Visa? But I digress...... that's another story) with all correct paperwork for a Letter of Residence to transfer the "Tabieng Motocy" for my FXRS currently languishing in Pattaya up to Chiang Mai, to be told "No, we cannot do"
"Oh bloody hell" I thought, "here we go again, shades of all that bollox back in February yet again"
(See here: http://www.rideasia.net/motorcycle-...ls-farangd-out-chiang-mai-fed-up-full-up.html )
But, instead of giving me a confused excuse about Chiang Mai being "full up" the helpful chappie said "Chiang Mai Immigration Police not do this now, you must go to your British Consulate, they do for you"
So...... is there light at the end of the tunnel? Has anyone else used their Consulate to transfer a vehicle registration in the last few months? I did hope to have a completed report for you but couldn't find the Brit Consulate so I'll leave it till Monday now and get back to you with results next week.
To be continued.......
