Yes, Thailand and it's scams. All countries should introduce reciprocal measures to Thai citizens.

complete ignorants do stupid things like buying gold abroad and selling it in Thailand.

Is there any problem with buying 24-karat gold bars/coins abroad and selling them Thailand?

One of the biggest Thai scams, buying the land without Chanote offered from a relative of the Thai wife.

In rural Thailand, 47 per cent of women reported experiencing sexual and/or physical violence by their partners

Wow !

The other 43 percent have THAI husbands.....

Is that supposed to add up to 100 percent?

no, at least 10% are lesbians and tomboys

"and the object was found in a big hole, looking like having been hit by something heavy hard."

a meteorite weighing 10 kilo would make a hell of a crater, not just a hole like "having been hit by something heavy hard".

Thai fairy tales at its best.

Who told you? Any more details about this "miraculous" medicine? Is not Dengue gone after a week even without taking anything?

BTW, what is the difference between the private and commercial rates?

Ok, Monty, thanks for clarifying, what about for condo registered in company's name, the owner will have to pay commercial rate for electricity too right?

Of course.

why bother? if you do not have Thai clients, no one cares

yeah, in your dreams

Why buy when you can not operate it, this kind of work is reserved only for the Thais.

hmmmmm thanks. i think we cannot take this money back, just spoke to my wife and she doesnt want to lose 1 baht ( yes, shes thai ) anyway she wants to buy land with the money or try some kind of business.

jsut wish i hadnt of jumped in too quick and sent all this money over in first place but i thought we were going to build a future in thailand.....ah well

Of course she would rather buy a land in her name than you getting the money back with a nice profit on the exchange rate I like her reasoning that "she doesnt want to lose 1 baht (yes, shes thai)" ))))

That sounds like an expensive roof for a garage, are you sure these are the Thai prices per square meter, not the German ones?

I meant my "not so much own" house, of course...

...and if you're not prepared to do the work yourself...

Is this actually possible, to work on my own house without a work permit? Can I even paint the house myself? If not, our rights seem to be quite limited in this country...

Not a surprise at all taking into account the air/water pollution levels.

who wants to live in Sweden? ;-)

You can buy some really good copies (I have heard the best ones are the same as the original) so not sure who would pay for the original if the only difference is a paper certificate

So they would rather sell the patients expensive imported drugs instead of domestically made generics (which contain the same, non-inferior active ingredients) just to make more on the margin? Sick as it gets..

I wonder why "The policy to use domestically made generic drugs rather than imported drugs had also cost the hospital around Bt1 billion in income last year, Udom said.", it should be the exact opposite...

beware of the Paypal's exchange rate, it will be way worse than what the Thai banks offer

...what does the owner do for the other 85%?????...didly squat.

Well, the owner had to invest lots of his money and buy the room/house.

I wonder why they keep selling (mostly) crappy fakes when there are loads of legit Chinese phones with impressive specs out there (at least I could not find them in Tuk Com).

I suggest building an extremely upscale condo with only a few units that no one would be willing/could afford to buy and you would be left with all the building just for yourself
