My mom can't go with me because her passport expired and she's trying to get a copy of her bith certificate from thailand (which will probably take years). She say's not to get a lawyer because it's a waste of money and I could probably figure it out myself. But money is no object, so do I get a lawyer to make it easier? or is it really no big deal? I know you guys probably get this question a lot, but I don't have time to research through the archives for the answer. Has anyone transported a vehicle? Is it a hassle? And does anyone know where the safest place a girl like me can stay without being on the news that some locals raped and killed me?

Import taxes on importing vehicles into Thailand are extremely high. Why not sell yours, and buy a new one in Thailand they are considerably cheaper.
You havent given much to go on with regards to your visa, how long are you intending to stay there for, what passport will you enter Thailand on. Details on visas and entry requirements are widely available on this board and also Thai immigration web sites.
