Only you can make the decision and we do NOT have any info to help.
1) Do you get along with them ?
2) How old are they and are they in good health ?
3) Do you currently support them (directly or indirectly) ?
4) Do they drink in excess ?
5) How far is the land from civilization ?
6) Are they relatively educated or do they live by the "Thai Way" of doing things ?
7) Noise level
Was the most crucial point for me, NOT to build next to my in-laws.
4 barking dogs (ban geo) 24/7,
Banging doors 24/7
starting 2 stroke motorbikes in the middle of the night,
Thai music on a thai-stereo....
just to name a few.
No thx.

One or two day overstay, penalty is up to the officer you do confront at the border.
(500- 1000 baht)
put your Sunday shirt on and be polite (don't grin)
and you will get off with a warning...

That's a great business plan ... got any more ... [emoji5]I would just buy a condo in a prime location in Bangkok for 3 million baht and live on the rentals, if the location is good enough you can easily get 25k per month. And live on that for as long as you want. But you have to live in a cheap room yourself 5-7000k , no problems if you live alone.
You can buy 3-4 pickups and rent them out and live on the income....

Some remote Amphurs haven't got a clue what the requirements are, frightened to get in trouble for issuing such a book, and won't ask another Amphur for advice for fear of losing face. It should be a straight forward procedure........but TIT.
Agree a 100%.
That's what the guy in the Amphur told my wife, when I wanted to change my yellow book to our new home. Of course I was waiting outside during the enquiry.

The problem here is that the average Thai person, especially not the older ones, seems to know fairly little about their own country's actual history, beyond the family of the current king and a few famous prior kings and such.
The history of past wars and conflicts involving Thailand (and its predecessor states), how and why the country's geography and hegemony has changed in the past, the past role of autocrats and military rulers -- all that seems pretty well unfamiliar to the average Thai citizen. And, double or triple that when it comes to history pertaining to things outside Thailand.
In that context, and I've had these attempted kinds of discussions in the past, it becomes pretty much impossible to explain to the average Thai person about the meaning of and impact of World War II. And more to the point, they generally speaking don't seem particularly interested to understand or see any reason to care.
To be interested in world history, you have to kind of care about the world around you, and understand your place in it is part of a broader fabric of which everyone is a part. In my experience here, apart from the most rudimentary self-interest issues, Thais don't seem to particularly care about the general goings on in the world around them.
Spot on!

The correct currency for this wildly inaccurate and misleading synopsis.Very easy to explain:
People lived in poverty, no job,
no proper food, majority was hungry and thirsty, people felt cheated by immigrants and their political representatives.
And then finally, just one guy,
no sorry, hold on:
I meant a few guys, on yaba, who blamed it all on them and used the anger of the folks to get it started...
sounds familiar...?
(getting there soon again)
My 2 cents.
The OP's question was: How to explain it to a Thai person!

I have no specific advice, just that some things are much easier when you live in Nong Khai than if you live in Bangkok or Koh Samui.
Or in Sathun or Ranong...

my thai wife and me bought a Isuzu dmax in april 2007. she works in thai gov. ,we didntnt need any garantie. 300,000 down and 3 year credit 2.3 %
maybe you can use your, her thai property (as a security) to get a good rate. don't forget to visit toyota, mitsu, nissan and the rest (....tata).....for their % rate....
!!
If you put down 300k then you dont need a garantee. I mean what is the point they don't risk a thing then. Even a farang could buy a car on finance if he did 300k down.
Well, my advise was quit simple!! the bigger the down., the less costs you the car at the end!! that easy (short credit time, less interests % rate) but of course there are still plenty of costumers still buying cars and trusting the high gloss brochure!!!.....on promotion days infronf tesco, dont forget your calculator! if u cant handle it with out it
otherwise try http://www.one2car.com/
or many others, but "rawang maak"

Because they are fabricated in Malaysia, Indonesia or Philippine.
If you do want to get the original duty free fags,
look at the package small prints for made in,
or distributed by Swiss.
