Love is blind!

The leaders only care about Bangkok when has planning making sense for these leaders come into play.

Of course leaders want it Close to Bangkok to generate more money for themselves gain all the attention showing off. This goes the waste side with the idea TourDeFrance🤣

We all know more to it than being reported.🤣

This is too damn funny!

Not every office immigration from what I understand will allow you to use a joint account you need to personally check. To be safe if your location allows if it was me I most likely do this. Your 800,000 is now in your name let say you renew on 20/1 let 3 month past 20/4 now go to your bank add your wife to that account topping off 1.6 Or, if Im correct you mentioned already have a joint confirm your immigration location a joint book can be used if so when time update book and obtain a letter for that joint as a backup also update your book and letter for 800,000 account submit Joint book with application. If successful now transfer your 800,000 close account into your joint. Does that help.

This is my situation live in Pattaya, Darkside, I have several BB accounts in different branches one in town two on the Darkside. Years back I opened another Joint account with wife on Soi Siam across from market. Noted every branch seem to have different standard question concern like the ops if I die or got hurt real bad would she have access to funds. Told it is Joint yes she does I op not to have a ATM. I transfer the majority of funds from our Joint BB in town branch. Next day to test this was true we went back to bank she took book of filled out a withdraw slip for 200,000 baht no problem I filled out a deposit slip put it right back in. In Jomtien Immigration I'm able use this same joint book as long as it has 1,600,000 for my extension. It has well over that this account never withdraw money.

You basically saying what I said but disagree! That owners and manager here are going to make money that is how it works here so when renting if you know it is five owners want ten agree or walk it is that easy. You can't rent get a bill later and whine about it. Here once a tenant complaint that his bill was too high I told point blank it might be the old frig you running. If I bring in an electrian he changes the meter next two months you bill still high you need to reimburse the replacement like most poor Thai he packed up middle of night and took off LOL

I didn't, I've obtained a number of recognitions from City agency for my word managing a number of building for my family and others. When I started cause I'm a believer in being treated equally and I was a renter I went down to those agencies to learn what the renters rights were and also the rights of owners I represented. Whenever I had a vacancy licensed it was all about Disclosures to perspective tenants those selected were given a booklet from the rent board outlining everyone's rights and the fee owners must paid to the City agency each year can be passed on to the tenants. Tenants were notified each year the max owners can raise rents and outline the interest paid to the deposit. In 1989, after a major 7.1 earthquake the City building department issue notices to have all rental building inspected the 4 that I managed luckily had no major damages and on inspection review found my yearly up keep were all up to date and passed with 95 scores. As for this old lady or disable far from your personal attack and assumption I discriminated. If she had applied and qualified but her misinformed request I clarified and presented her at the time the actual ordinance outlined along with the name,address phone of the agency to check. Her request was basically requesting owners of a 1910 Victorian to put in an elevator for her. In a unofficial interview a few years back there was an warehouse fire in Oakland CA, which many were burned alive. This was an owner renting to an individual who rented the whole warehouse then sub let it out to individual artist that turn it into a fire trap. My opinion was both should go to jail. Nice try! Don't make things personal. 🤣

In a Condo or apartment where? Not happening here In Thailand, I have a apartment building PEA comes out put the meter outside on pole each of my units meters were purchase and installed by my contractor. Each month the reading is taken and tenants are charged. When interested party want to rent they are told the price take it or leave it end of story. PEA isn't going to put an government meter in each unit for me or dozens, hundreds for a large Condo he would be there all day. My brother lives in a gated community of 50 homes, they get one bill the management companies personnel breaks it all down by each home owner meter install by builder no utility is going to come in install that many meters! Interesting the topic is about renting as noted owner isn't going to replace a old unit working fine to the owner. It comes down if it bothers you and really like the place plan to stay long then ask owner you want to install new. Same with frig, TV. I speak as an owner and property management experience. I once had an apartment unit for rent an old lady came love the unit but on 3rd floor told me I need to install an person lift for her it was the law. I told her politely that law applies to new construction not this old building. Get your old ass out just joking! Tenter, buyers beware not after!

Looks more like the bunch been going out eating and drinking Hong Tong than fighting any type of crime.😂

When renting apartment/condo one has very little opportunity to check anything. As article noted renting the owner isn't going to change the A/C As it is common for owners to add their own rate 5-10 if not more it is important to for renters to ask majority of time bill isn't coming direct. When renting years ago I walked in check the place, water, frig, turn on A/C utilities was 7 baht for Electric 20 for water. My Bill was like 500 a month E, average months later jump to 1500 same pattern of usages notified manager found the meter was defective. These meters put in to units aren't from the government can purchased at general hardware store quality isn't the same.

Here we go again!

This is a whole country epidemic! 🙀

None of the reasons stated in article really! Their Supreme court ruled! in the case put forth by the foreigners in regards to duel pricing in Hospital even government. The court ruling was not by law! But clearly stated that foreigners are better off so it is to reason they can pay more! There are laws against this practice, years prior to his death, the Man use to get up Dec 5th, and make a speech to the people once spoke how this practice gives Thailand a black eye. The former PM Chan O, also stated this in one of his speeches did anyone listen NO! A former MP once stupidly stated in the Bangkok Post, you want a better life " marry a foreigner " he was slowly outcast for his view! I recently had an coversation in a small group mainly Thais, one lady stated she knows that when you are married to a foreigner you need not work! I ask her do you know or you just heard? because I know a few Thai women who are married to Thai men don't work like the ones you see in the soap opera drama's. I added if that is the case doesn't speak well for your Thai men! The remark was over their heads. LOL. they just continue freeloading on all the food and Hong Thong. This is the same thinking the police have instead of applying the law " every farang in an accident is at fault " a caption at Jomtien Na police station I over heard him tell farang although the Thai admitted fault that he should pay because she is poor after you will feel better about yourself. 🤑
