  1. That is why it is just one septic tank as noted it is too late to start need to fix the corruption cause money allow any one to do as they please just do and build as you like no master plan no oversight with any power. While trillions are budgeted each years roads so they can drive fadter to kill themselves 

    No infractrure to improve people lives.

    In Pattaya. a smaller version of Bangkok, I see workers all the time digging up roads work stops officials are called all standing around scratching their head who the hell put that there? 🤣🤔

  2. Around 10 years ago Read read an article like this critical of their system by experts outside and inside of Thailand not afraid to speak and that was after Thai leaders made changes. 

    Critical of the changes werent good enough so the results should be of no surprise.

    The thought isnt pretty but I agree if you keep the masses dumb and stupid you can control them to just follow and accept thus " This is Thailand "  

    You cant get upset about something if one doesnt have a clue what they are missing.

  3.  The story written smells with lack of information.

    Although 36 not sure he has pre-existing condition the the bite should stop him in his tracks from continuing his trip.  

    I had Dengue at 70 in good shape I had a fever ache and pain. After a few days of self teatment no response I decide to go private hospital knowing a blood test would be given confirm dengue. Knowing their MO stay I ask course of treatment told not much We can do except rest fluid. Since I was active I decline Dr. had no objection said if get worse come back regardless 2-3 days for another blood test to check the number which I did and numbers for infection dengue dropped. 

    My son 23 a few month after same thing decline overnight stay difference they took him to a room gave him a 30 minute IV, went home rest few days later back for test counts drop.

    Without knowing his whole story the cost on the surface is a big rip off but this should be of no surprise to anyone who isnt blinded!

    Out of interest...how many days prior to expiry date did immigration allow you to apply for extension? 

    My extension ends Feb 20th every year like clock work I do my extension 30 days prior so around Jan 20th or close.

     

    An emergency came up Left with no choice I booked a ticket I believe was 7-10 prior to Jan 20th, the key I believe was my return was beginning of March after the expiration.

    No, Bbi1 is talking about his 30 day extension from a tourist visa (he's made 3 threads about it). I understand retirement extensions are as per normal so not 1 day in advance like stated

     

    Thanks, P57, never the less I'm going down to make sure nothing has changed because like years prior I make it a point to go down 30 days before and get it done. Usually get up early first or second in line out the door by 8:45 am. 

    I already have a ticket to return home for a short visit Feb 22nd, I don't need any surprises.

    Jomtien immigration - congrats. You have to report your address via a TM30 each and every time you come back to Thailand, even if you are staying in the same place as before. All has to be done 72 hours within your entry, or get a nice 1,600 baht fine. If you don't need to do anything at immigration then you don't need to worry about a TM30. If you do, then welcome to the fun of TM30 each entry into Thailand.

     

    You've gotta love Jomtien immigration, you can only do extensions one business day prior to stamp expiry too. I've wasted two trips there already and will have to make a 3rd trip one business day before stamp expiry.

    If I get your comment right!

    If a person is on a retirement extension expires Feb 20, 24 at Jomtien consistently allowed to do 30 days prior cant now do until 19th Of Feb 24? 

  7. This is the total failure of the management in charge because 51% of project are Thai owned many buy for investment. To add owners dont participate nor when buying ask to see the accounting of the project how many units, how many are Thai owned, how many owners reside, how many units being rented out, how many owners are paying, hoe much is coming in and going out, if there is no savings for the community stay away. On the darkside Ive seen many in this situation with the gate being abandon.

    My retirement is coming soon and I want to know if 186,000 baht a month is enough for rent, ladies (every day) and some booze in bars?  One of my friends says his 3 children at rugby school costs more than that.

     

    The house I want to rent is 70,000 a month. (At siam royal view)

    70,000 you need to have your head examine!

  9. Things are standard even in Thailand.

    I wonder at times when I read stories like this whether the Condo rules etc are translated since many of the response suggest going to the rules?

    Regardless, I would imagine somewhere in the language allows certain areas to be rented by owners for events usually clubhouse etc, the profits are usually recorded in the balance sheet along with expenses hopefully it doesnt end up in the negative. These events are usually approve in the genersl meetings.

    Here in Thailand my impression no one seem to know until it is too late and Condo mangement agencies here seem to beat their own drums.

    Being a rental my opinion it is a bit late after the fact surely not worth the time and expense it being a high end complex surely this one time look for a big expensive highrise hotel book a nice room with view, treat the family to a nice outing nice dinner at the hotel surely they have a nice restaurant after back to your room in comfort to watch the celebration. Enjoy!
