Guys like this has right to their opinion or opinions. Just because we are live here guest doesn't mean we have to remain dumb, blind and silent. We just can't shut down our freedom to express like a light switch bend over and takecit with a red hot poker plus what else can we actually do except bash or to criticize as not plenty plenty! From my experience those to day bashing bash the loudest when the baht strength to their currency. ????

'Big Joke' Unveils Vision for new Police Commander position
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Read between the lines and promos! He isn't the Top cop, if he was wouldn't be flying around taking on cases that are generating photo ops. Photo ops is defined as marketing promoting " The Face " which seem to be the agreement that was made in his return. To think he has made constructive policies that are permanent and effective not in my book. Just a show as something being done just a Big Joke, part of the art of war philosophy. -

thailand49 replied to ElephantEgo's topic in DIY Forum
I live with Thais, house they use primer and a flat base a short period mold on the walls for example retaining walls outside. When it was time to paint I didn't like the color I sanded prep and put a primer then painted with a semi -gloss with the color I wanted. Only house on the soi front that shows no mildew. With the hot sun it will happen the paint after five years keeping the same color I use the old color as a primer sand and prep repaint with one coat Semi gloss. Neighbors how the hell he does it so fast my wife just say made in the USA. ???? Keep it simple -
In Thailand: Are You a Walking Billboard?

Don't be a hypocrite, as long as one is part of society no one is exempt. Advertising isn't just on clothing as long as you are a foreigner in Thailand you advertised without wearing it a ATM, in time that is changing as we speak tomorrow we will be advertising a QR code. ???? -

'Big Joke' Unveils Vision for new Police Commander position
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In the end this is a show since decision has already been given to him. Who are the other 3 candidates and why just him getting the photo op? If not, is he going to take it well being slighted after this exposure he might be Big Joke meaning don't play jokes on him.. Big Joke when you turn your paper in don't forget on the bottom the brown envelope with a note " more to come " Wai slowly take step back and look up give that Big Joke Smile.???? -
To be honest I skimmed through a number of the replies. Based on your comments I will give you my two baht. I just got finished with my wife business situation which I knew 10 months ago would turn out this way because there are Thais as we know and after the first month this was the perception of the lady who both agree my wife would share the restaurant space. In your situation what bothers me in general is so call agents or agencies dealing with Real Estate in Thailand. I'm sure there is some sort of training even licensing but what is a key factor in training and licensing has to do with ethics and disclosure that either the agents here don't understand the language of contract or they know who cares and who is watching. In California, the major legislature changes in Real Estate was all about disclosure and ethics. You landlord has non what is worse the agency not sure if agency is representing the landlord solely or the entire complex. The catch for me with your story is there is no cleared mentioned as to if repairs are needed what are the limits before the tenants starts to pay plus there also doesn't seem to be clear conversation as to what is your responsibility and the landlord. I own rental here one recently the tenant and wife got into a beef someone broke the toilet I happen to have a extra so prior to replacing I told him next time it is on you. Things are made cheap in China and it seems the worse of stuff is sent here. As for your lawyer originally, I have a big problem with one advising you to take it to court when the contract states Arbitration. What I do know lots of stuff like contract like laws here which there are millions but very few are enforced. You can get a Thai rental contract anywhere Big C, stationary dept it might list Arbitration but I wonder if there is actually a process if so how long will it take? There are lots of lawyers here that have no ethics, just as bad any amusement park that want to charge you duel pricing. When it comes to Lawyers someone mentioned don't waste your money but in the same breath advise you to let your Thai wife work with a lawyer. Unless you Thai wife comes from a International school land extension dealing with the West. She is going to be clueless with the Thai law and fall into the group " This is Thailand " meaning they do as they like which is what your landlord and agency is doing. I would look for a lawyer that would proceed with the verbal process first be able to explain to you the arbitration process, contact both the agency and landlord, have a firm conversation with them first. Why many Thais like your landlord never been confronted with the law so they do and push people around because no one has ever stood up to them. Only after these avenue have been taken explained to you in good enough English to decide to move forward in the courts. Remember you might win but how are you going to collect you can scrape the bottom of <deleted>ter so clean. There is always talk they know someone even some who say I'm mafia, I've been here so long personally I don't give a rat ass who you know or related. I once was told " I'm Mafia " I take nothing for granted don't disrespect anyone or their mafia but when I was told like him I do some research right off the bat if one is mafia even it a lowly soldier they don't live in a tin can roof. As for landlord knowing police like many they think every foreigners is stupid we are guess scare <deleted> so many do know friends or friends doing it for friends and not within the oath they have been sworn. In the past, I've been confronted before proceeding I ask for identification and their station if not conversation over. They are acting independently if you confront them challenge them respectfully I sense they will back off. Your situation is not good there is a lost for you whether you want to accept it or not. I would search quickly for legal advice majority of the ones I have spoken to do it for free. Obtain one that in my opinion that will take the verbal route first. Meantime nothing is going to change with this women until a lawyer has a a good conversation laying out her obtains along with speaking to the agency both have already violated the contract if push come to shove if in court personally damages can be awarded. If the agency represents the complex the owners should be given noticed to the situation by a lawyer. Meantime you have an urgent situation if the agency doesn't represent the complex and you want to stay look for another rental and don't make the same mistake you did the first time. If the agency does then start to look elsewhere before your family comes. That was long I could be longer but my wife is calling!

Thaksin submits application for royal clemency

What the hell Mai Pen Rai who dares to challenge me done why not???? Next Chapter or Case Yingluck welcome home the Question what excuse she will you use, -
Rules are the same applications is another matter. As a former Real Estate licence holder 30 years who mainly manage and rented out property. A contract is a contract. You mentioned there is no wording but noted a one year contract! On that contract should be a date start to finish if so that is the wording! Deposit normally aren't allowed to be used as rent. In a situation like your contractually if you you are on hook for the rest of year. But being reasonable I've had tenants in the past for whatever reason want or need to leave. I explain the contract obligation then tell them My obligation is to do everything to rent the unit out again with their help to be able to show it with short notice work together meantime tenant must meet the contract terms which is pay the rent. I've not or never if it is a good unit priced reasonable find another willing tenant.

Jomtien Immigration
thailand49 replied to thailand49's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Let me stir the pot a bit since I started the conversation. No doubt there are people who want to be spoon feeding guess that is why there are visa agents or the reason so many never do any research come on Asean and ask the same questions over and over again. As for bashing I can say Im one of them what else to do that take someone weaknesses and have a good laugh on them. But note me and others who I think is a great majority of this board take any thread daily and if your eyes are open will see. One thing I don't go to sleep thinking tomorrow is Thai bashing day there isn't one individual who can make the claim they don't. Then a minority that got their heads in the sand think they love the place so much want it to stay as it is selfish reason because then the exchange rate will always benefit them. Their love or like fluctuate with the baht. Personally, I'm not been pamper since 2007, as often it takes I've gone down religiously and did what I needed myself driving my motorbike Darkside near the Lake rain or shine standing in lines being abused verbally by staff at the door because I wasn't standing correctly at the moment. I never had a problem I like to interact and watch people going down watching is very entertaining. Now with the 90 online working so well at times I get a smile when my application get rejected. in spite of my cheerful and patient demeanor no problem with going to Jomtien I stand whole harded the facility itself too small and location to be too conjested for my taste. In the end I've not degraded, called anyone names or argue with them they must side with my views. ???? If they moved it anywhere they got me and everyone that need the Services will need to follow or start using spoon feeding methods the only way that is going to happen is they move immigration up the man's butt T49 has his limits LOL -
Petition submitted against Thaksin seeking Royal pardon
thailand49 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
A number of things will happen as time goes by? He is really sick will die soon. He will be pardon in a few months just when when a bigger event comes along public be so tired just don't care any longer. Leaders will do it regardless knowing people wishes are secondary the election result is the best example. This will just drag on and on he will be in home detention free to come and go within the country until he dies. ???? -
Jomtien Immigration
thailand49 replied to thailand49's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Expat, Tourist, agents, using Immigration services will have to go whether it is convenient or not just like when it was on Soi Nine to Jomtien. If it was to move further down Beach rd, Jomtien or 2nd Rd Jomtien if one need the services will get to the location convienent or not. In the end the current facility the lot is too small to accommodate the volume of visitor or congestion. That is the final take as to my opinion on the facility location my report was more to inform others of the current work being done to improve? -
Jomtien Immigration
thailand49 replied to thailand49's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The location is the problem not for many because they don't live on the Soi. Isn't that convienent for those who don't there is no parking so a multi level doesn't nothing for the area again. Having such heavy traffic in a mix use area would never pass an environmental review except here because there isn't any. Even with the add on just wait for high season. All they done is take people from outside better sorting into a limited A/C seating room. -
Jomtien Immigration
thailand49 replied to thailand49's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Why! I could also ask you to do the same. Being on Sukhumvit it is in the middle start of the Darkside. You would be surprise the volume of expats on the Darkside I wouldn't use the volume most that freely. you are right they will never! -

I couldn't disagree more with your opinion but it is your right. When it comes to Immigration if you need it your going to travel to get it. Transportation it will develope on it own so will other businesses that it will serve. Tourist wherever will find its way no different than those who aren't tourist. You take a location like one of the Thai oil gas stations. Place the Immigration building in the back with parking can sub lease to other business, gas station, KFC, Watson, Amazon Coffee, Mini Tops, long list which equal Baht on top of Baht it becomes a center. And if they get a happy ending with Immigration they can with maybe a Massage shop renting. They can thank me later!???? -
Just my opinion even when they first moved to this location I felt it was too small and still do. The proper place really is to be up on the South End of Sukhumvit Eastside where there is plenty of land to build a much bigger facility, parking, instead of jam packing everyone into a building. Today, I had to make a trip down to Jomtien to speak about a situation. Arriving I see they have been busy doing some modification. The entrance or parking area replaced with tents where everyone had to Q up snake out to the street has been replaced. Facing the building right side tent where one does their 90 days is gone. What they have done they have constructed on the right side from where the 90 days report with structural buildings 3 big A/C rooms. Right where the 90 days it is now the main Q or information area or starting point, next door is the 90 report and the 3rd room closes to the entrance is the residential certificate room. All the rooms have sitting in A/C condition. Across, where people use to Q and snake themselves up to the ramp to get inside to the information is gone they are near finished with 3 more rooms outside what they to be not sure? When you enter into the main room where the information booth use to be it is now gone which makes the place much larger. The tourist extension area and multi Entry desk seem longer. The eating area and the independent visa offices before the public bathroom are still there. Interesting but I still rather see them move to a much larger location.

Once the immigration czar points out to him how much less his brown envelope is going to be he will come around like every other Selected PM.
