Psimbo Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Drive thru 90 days, residential address reporting and now Car Tax- progress is indeed being made. I saw one of these Drive-thru's in PKK last month and though what a great idea for Phuket as well. Clearly my brainwaves had an effect. To be fair even going inside was a painless experience depending on the queue. The LTO has always seemed keen to modernise. They even run a limited counter service during lunchtime. Remember- evolution, NOT Revolution is the key to improved services here. Cue countless posts from moaners who detest any form of progress.

Yes, it's very slimming walking into a waiting room and sitting there for hours. My lady did my 90 day report at the immigration drive-through the other day, they asked her for a tax for providing the service. She declined.

I think these drive thru's are meant for people to go themselves. My agent told me he can not go there, has to go inside with longer waiting times and more required paperwork.

I find this an excellent development, and it contradicts the often heard mantra 'they want you to use an agent'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's real news for Phuket as only started couple of months. I did not know when I taxed my car last month and went into the counter. Next year drive through.
