Why buy something  you  cant use? 

From DMK I can fly to Chiang Mai, Phuket.... Why not?

Is this air asia pass only for Khon Thai? My wife just bought it and with my app I always get the message: no such pass exists!

Here the lies of the management about why not meeting in 2019!!!!

Note that the first corona Detection of the virus in China happened December 27 2019 and in Thailand January 13 2020 only

Can they sue me for defamation if I publish such documents without marking out anything?

If you own a condo you have a right to demand a meeting.

Only Co owners who represent at least 20% of the building area can legally and rightfully demand a meeting.

I think the building needs a new management company. Urgently.

yes, of course. Just 90% of the co-owners give a damn <deleted>, even if they harm themselves by low value and no safety...

I would hope it's the same here and am willing to bet 20฿ that I'm correct. 

Any takers?

that they comply with local codes and also other standards

To me it seems that there are no fines for violating any of these requirements. Probably similar to the problem that there are no fines to most of the regulations of the condominium act of Thailand, which is a law of the Kingdom of Thailand. Why would the management care about laws if no one can enforce these laws. Practically for example the condominium act is a useless piece of paper worth absolutely nothing. And so are probably regulations in regards of fire safety. Government inspectors can make a show within the building but there's nothing they can do to make sure the management is fixing problems. Paper tigers If you know what I mean…

Also, of importance - has the condo fixed their fire fighting equipment ?

No, they did not fix anything yet. My wife repeatedly showed up in person at the district office presenting evidence but was refused. They plainly said it's none of their business which is a blatant lie.

When in December 2020 nothing happened yet, I mean absolutely nothing in regards of fixing the problems my wife contacted them again and they claimed to have forwarded the case to this useless district office. Which refuses to do anything.

Only the foreigners and two or three of the Thai Co owners demanding action. 90% of the  co-owners don't care.

End of story, the management/committee/JPM don't care, not the BMA and not the district office are doing anything to enforce safety. So far 0% progress...

The main culprit is the 90% Tri-Chlor used. It has a pH of 7 and has cynuric acid as part...

 

Yes, 90% TCCA is the problem, but it is even worse then you say: its composition brings down the pools pH to levels below 4 and TA to 0...

Thais do not care about this connection...

But: even in Thailand there are other chlorines out there, use TCCA and a chlorine high in pH together and u never need to adjust pH and have a forever lasting grout...

1st line of defence is the grout. Was it quality Weber or Crocodile swimming pool grout? Did you get swimming pool tiles which are thicker & if good will have glass over the edge to down the sides. Was quality swimming pool adhesive used & not cement. Was a rubber bung put in the floor & walls when construction was done? Was a rubberised compound or polymer used in the water proof render? 

 

If all these are in place and a salt chlorinator is in place then you can expect to  get at least 5 yr out of the grout. With good water balance you may get longer. That means ph 7.2 - 7.6, T/A 80 - 120, keep you chlorine levels 1.5 - 3 ppm.

 

You will be lucky to get 10 yrs out of the pump & salt chlorinator. Chlorinators don't like the constant humidity. Best brand is Australian made PuraPool. Don't store any chemicals other than salt in the pump room.

I know pools with the grout outlasting 25 years (and counting), FC, pH and TA always in the right range of course... 5 years (or less) for the grout is IMHO the typical bad maintenance Thai pool survival time with highly acidic water

Can the management rightfully claim, for more than 18 months now, that they cannot have the the ordinary and not an extraordinary meeting organized due to covid? Land department or district office do not take active action, just to say this upfront...

Its the same in reverse, if you are married to a Thai you can come to Thailand and start work/company the same day, visa/extension costs 2,000 baht. There is no difference

Actually this is not true. You need to apply for a work permit if you want to start working in Thailand even if you are married to a Thai national. You need to hire four people if you want to be self employed and start your own business in order to get a work permit for yourself.

 I would say that if his so called friend had not skipped the country then I believe that his passport would not have been held and he would not have been listed as a "flight risk".

I find it quite interesting what people interpret into incomplete information they have thinking that the way how they see things is the only way it can be.

Even in Australia the fire cabinets ARE locked and the key is normally either beside or above the cabinet in a small holder with an easily breakable glass front. The main reason the cabinets are locked is so that children cannot access the fire fighting equipement

1. Individuals without professional experience should not interfere with them that's why they should be locked.

2.      2. cabinets are locked is so that children cannot access but with key beside to be available in emergency…

Is it just me? I see a difference in to generally lock a fire cabinet to prevent any individual from using it And 2nd case to have it locked with the key nearby for emergency. These are two different cases and this is even also legal in Thailand. That's up to the management. But to lock away the fire cabinet in general is not permitted , it is against the law.

You break the glass.

So let's assume there is a fire. You run to the fire cabinet knowing that you have not more than 1 or if lucky 2 minutes to extinguish the fire before you better run away rescuing your loved ones and yourself. Fire cabinet is locked. How do you break the glass now? Do you run back into your apartment searching for something suitable? The Clock is ticking , time is running out and you waste your time searching something to destroy the glass instead of having the equipment ready to fight the fire?

Remember that you are also in panic.

This arises because in your 3rd post you state the judge said, and the judge did not accept.

This implies first hand knowledge, whereas your subsequent posts now suggest that what happened in court is only what you have been told.

 

The lawyer requested the official script that was written by court and the judge - If not the word of the lawyer I guess that counts as first hand knowledge?

thx so much, that helped me a lot...
