The rules only apply in town as you go further out for example in Pattaya you go to the darkside and it is no holds bar as they say. Like tonight until things changes we ate local, they took our temperature gave us a bit of gel and we all sat together all 5 of us, wife, son his wife, daughter and me.

I use Eva a lot so does all my family members who come to Thailand often based on your report Eva is following the international guidelines they did what they were supposed to do even if it wasn't good enough for you. I would have done the same thing and push the issue of the virus and such but the key was they made the required attempt to get you out the problem was as you stated " it didn't fit your view or schedule? "

My cousin was here in Feb, he is what they call a Elite flyer with Eva,  his return flight was cancelled and reschedule for March 25, he even got a email confirming a day before when I took him to the airport and dropped him off 20 minutes later called to pick him back up they had made a mistake he was rescheduled for May 10th. April 20th he was contacted by Eva that flight is also being cancelled and offer to refund him 100% and help him reschedule on Korean or Nippon to get him back to SFO which he took the offer.

Sometimes it is all they can do?

I am not the OP. Paying is nothing to do with me.

I provided advice on what the law requires and as I stated ALL the condos I know well post the accounts.

To say there is no enforcement is misleading because many condos do comply.

Many Condos do have a committee voted in and they recommend the juristic person to the coowners.

The juristic person will be accountable if its not done.

The issue i pointed out is that there are still unscrupulous developers who appoint who they want, and then they may not comply with the law. 

From what you say that seems your choice of condos and that's your problem.

There are many condos that are not the same now since the new condo act over 10 years ago.

If you know the problem then don't go buying condos that dont have a transparent management. Its easy to figure out.

Its no good either hiding behind saying there is no enforcement.

Instead of whinging, Go and do something as I have in two condos where i have units.

When I had the same problem with a condo, i found and joined other co-owners in fighting the developer and we eventually took control. The land office did not block us and provided information we required. They backed us taking over the condo through the mechanisms in the new condo law.  These things took a long time and a lot of effort.  We also won legally in court to get outstanding dues from the developer.

Therefore to give the idea that the new condo regulations are not enforceable is simply not true.

You seem to miss one important thing!  You are talking in GENERAL from you own experience and I'm talking from mines which when it comes to posting I've not seen it as often as you have noted that doesn't mean you are wrong which is the reason when I buy I do everything possible to find what I need to find out and that drive the Condo people crazy. I get as much as I can out of them then decide is it worth buying into it!  I don't need to read further your post just remember you are kind of wasting your time because we both are talking IN GENERAL that really means from your own experience it doesn't mean it is happening in every project you go to the Darkside in Pattaya and I've been to 20 plus and they either are poorly run or abandon where no one pays anything that means no postings!

Since the new condo act over 10 years ago, all condos are required to post monthly accounts on noticeboard. All the condos that i know well do so.

There are still going to be the unscrupulous developers who dont, especially while they think they  can milk it during the period they own the committee and do as they like. Until coowners get involved with action to get an independent committee voted in.

Not sure what you are trying to say here!  regardless of the act like majority of the laws in Thailand there isn't any enforcement which is why things are the way they are if you have a rule and no one enforces it then it is useless which is why you are in the situation you are in now.  Since you brought it up the time you were in your condo did you ever see one posted? Sure there are unscrupulous developer the reason it is the buyer or buyer agent to make sure they take the time to obtain the rules for their clients but of course I can tell you first hand very few so call agents in Thailand even has a idea to doing so.

How do I know I had a broker license in the States although I didn't do this for a living I did it for family on the side to purchase property and manage it for them. Here in Thailand particularly Pattaya I have purchased a number of condo and the hardest thing is obtaining the rules and books when I mentioned it they just look at me. Most of them most likely your condo in the past did exactly that untrained poorly run and lack to a point of mismanagement which is the reason why I buy into is usually small the larger the condo the larger the problem even in the States in Thailand it is a nightmare. Every meeting I've attended it is a nightmare a condo with 200 owners there are at best 5 attendee I'm sure you never have attended one nor been involved the answer you gave me is the reason why they do what they do and get away with it.  Just pay up!

ill look into it but there a hell of lot of people saying exactly the same thing as me. also how long after did you get your insurance? as maybe if it was just after the outbreak then that is why.

Look, you ask for help which is what I'm trying to do by giving you some information. You can go with it or just go with " hell of lot of people saying exactly the same thing " I purchased the policy beginning of April from AXA in Pattaya Thailand you the website I gave you was today on Facebook.  You can go with it or just continue to look for excuses the time you are taken to reply to me you could of just done your homework and decided for yourself. It is really as easy as that!

This is the problem with owning Condos here!  Poor management and then buyers don't demand to see what is the most important part the BOOKS!

I would ask the new management to show you the books 12 years back it should show you not paying along with those who had paid. Poor management which seem to be rampant in Condo they could have missed it and forgotten since you weren't in town much.  I remember years back my internet account I paid each month one day my service got cut off I went to the office show all my bills that I was updated they told me 9 months back I missed Nov?  I went through and sure enough they were right I said why didn't someone point it out I come in here monthly and pay. Answer this is Thailand!  If it was missed you should pay but from my experience majority of the Thai owners never pay their dues and if they don't chase them they should chase you.

In the end, while you are looking at the books I would examine what they are taking in and what they are spending it on a properly run condo the goal is to obtain a reserve the large the reserve the better run if they are coming every few years to get money as you noted something doesn't smell right.

no im not in thailand in the uk you cannot get a insurance policy that covers you for covid 19,and you are talking before covid 19 which was my point you cannot cover insurance now that will do it.

You are reading but failing to comprehend what was written!  I'm not talking before Covid 19!  think before you speak why would anyone be selling Covid 19 insurance prior if they knew they should also have a vaccine now!

As I noted there were a number of insurance company here in Thailand selling Covid 19 AFTER!  I got one AFTER with AXA for 1500 baht, but there is a waiting period of 30 days before coverage! 

There are a number of companies or brokers advertising on Facebook, here is one I just pull out for you!

FINDMEEXPATINSURANCE.COM  They currently advertise insurance for Covid 19,  although you are in UK, you might be able to buy it online and they can forward you the police online print it out there you go!  if so, you are covered the hardest part is getting a updated medical certification! 

Good luck!

what i don't get is this insurance that covers covid 19,no new insurance policy is going to cover you for covid 19. so do i presume that your only gonna get in if you have a insurance that you took out before all this happened.

For the money?  Not sure where you are located but I'm here in Thailand.  I think it was a number of months ago in the Bangkok post they listed a number of companies that was providing insurance for C-19 it was pretty much for 100,000 baht the price was pretty cheap.  I took the list and went to a number of the companies just days they had already stopped offering. I went to AXA which I carry insurance for a number of vehicles ( not on the list ) they offered a short term policy that does cover C-19 1500 baht with a 30 days waiting period.

You should have paid for the consumption you had in the February bill, + 50% on the consumption over 800 units = 310/2 = 155 units.

I paid everything in full the same day I get the bill, up to now I've not seen the discounts if it is there it is so minimal I keep a tight track on my bill this month is was the only time I even seen a reduction my average each month is 900-1100 units for the first time as I noted 299 baht was my reduction.????????️

Since the opening of restaurants. A few examples, Sunshine and also Jomtien night market...every evening, people sat close together, no masks, waving their hands and getting excited...add a few beers to that with the slobbering...maybe understand why they won't open. The restaurants at the end of the beach have groups of 8 or 10 to a table..again no masks sat only inches apart...people just cant do distancing in these places. Open them all up and see what happens, no spike, let them stay open..numbers increase, shut them all down again

Same on the Darkside!  rules from my observation are being followed by high profile places, like Big C, etc.  outside it is like there isn't a virus. 

My bill I just got used 1100 units bill was something ????like 4500 baht I got 299 baht off?

Funny, high fever arriving sounds like all of these countries dropped the ball? sounds like a bit of patient dumping? We got 25 which just infected the rest which is a few hundred. Did any of them provide testing results negative within the 72 hours and carry insurance?  Something smells?  Leaders better think again about taking some countries off the list don't you think?

Nothing to do with science rules are made not for you or anyone personal it is just in general maybe outside of your place there were as people noted in their response gathering near curfew so someone decided to change the rule and the result sometimes other suffer because of it.

You will be the one looking silly when I am millionaire with the biggest rat farm in isaan. 

 

???? 

 

 

Look I wish you the best of luck of being a Millionaire in Thailand when that happens your dream will come true " rats " are a magnet to money just like when you win the lottery you find out you have a much larger family???? even when you are Thai.

There is a simple question you need to ask you wife?  I love you first then what is it in for me? You might not get a direct answer so is there a hesitation watch for facial expression and body language that will be a good start to you getting some real answers?

Again good luck farmer but there done that.

yeah I am really sensitive with no fortitude, everything I typed previously is lies

 

truth is, i met my wife in pataya. It was my first week there, and by chance it was also her first week there, she was just looking for a husband, and I immediately fell in love

 

she wants me to invest in her family's rat farm in isaan. she has no money and nor do I, I spent all my savings on sin sod.

 

I am going to use credit cards to borrow all I can to improve the rat farm, new cages, bigger rats, and buy one cart to make the bbq and sell from. Starting with one cart, we estimate we will sell 300 rats per day. We will reinvest the profits into more carts, and after 5 years we aim to have 50 carts all over isaan. The way I figure it, the more I invest the more I will get back. 2+2=4. The numbers all add up.

 

So you see, I wanted to make sure that my investment is safe

You are certainly in the right frame of mind " Land of Stupidity "  I was doing you a favor telling you not to say anything there was a reason for it!  Now take a moment go back and take a look at everything then you will see " silence is golden " in your particular case the more you talk the more you just make yourself silly.  Sensitive don't ask for advice might be the best thing for you here I wonder why your wife if she is everything you say not the stupid stuff you just wrote " in the money " she dump the first one for a reason but I wonder why she pick up hamburger when she could have a steak?

but she literally has more money than me, like in the bank more, and she owns more stuff

 

and her family is richer than mine

 

so what do you want me to say?

 

some lies for you? ok she is a poor isaan rat eater who needs my money for mending her grandmas shoes

 

feel better? 

You seem to be a bit sensitive for any of this!  I don't want you to say anything!  The best thing for you is stay in the dark and don't even try to live or work in the farm I doubt with you sensitivity you have the fortitude to be a real farmer in Thailand.   Keep you head in the sand you be much happier for many to survive you need to have a open mine to do that you can come close to understanding the Land of Smile for you it is the Land of Stupidity.

Good luck you will need it real bad!

What money? she isnt asking for money, she has more money than me lol

 

I am asking that if I put my life and time in there, how best to split our assets, if anybody knows a good way

This response is coming from from your ego?  if that was the real case " more money than me " everything you speak of would have been done already with or without you?  Transferring land between family from my experience is simple walk in with those involved and it is done.

You kind of sound like a women in reverse from the West in general ???? " Gold digger "

Not necessarily.

There are a few dodgy Declans and Rons around, to name but 6, but I am a confirmed  cynic.
