Whats the legal age of consent in Thailand. Its confusing.
khunPer replied to advancebooking's topic in General Topics
Age of consent is 15 year. Legal (registered) marriage age is 18 years; unregistered village marriage is a different subject. 18 years is also the limit for girls working in a bar (i.e., prostitution), while it's 20 years to visit the nightlife as a guest. -

Long Wait for 90-Day-Report
khunPer replied to parallaxtech's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
There are different letters in front of the Queue-number, depending of which service you are waiting for. The 90-days address is a different desk from long-term-stay. I normally do it online, but there seems to have been problems with the online service lately. Many have complained that they got rejected, me too. So I went to do in person at Samui Immigration a few weeks ago. Came late, as I used to before online – i.e., in the afternoon after the lunch rush – then, there is almost no waiting line, so it was done in less than 15 minutes all together. -
Driving without valid driver's license in Thailand
khunPer replied to gerryBScot's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
It's 3 month according to Thai rules. -
Yes, you can own a house on leased land, if you make a superficies agreement (or similar permission); and furthermore get architect drawings, building permissions, building construction contracts and payment receipts issued with your name as owner. However, be aware of that any agreement made between husband and wife can be declared void in case of divorce. You can read more in the article about "protection and ownership" HERE. It's often suggested to make any land contracts – lease or usufruct – before the title deed is registered in a Thai wife's name.

Keith Richards talked about how great feeling it was to be a famous musician on tour, once during a visit in my home country, and he also said that he wished for everybody to try it. So, in reply to OP's question: Yes, I still fantasize of being famous – or rather real famous, and not a local 1960s rock musician, even it was really great fun to escape from a venue, with a horde of screaming teenage girls running after the band...😍 On the other hand, a disadvantage of being famous is that you are always watched and any movement shared in the media – so, perhaps life after all is more fun, not being famous...

Tourism Industry Backs Reinstatement of 300 Baht Tourist Fee
khunPer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Actually makes sense, if you separates tourists and other arrivals. In the beginning I was very sceptical about a tourist entry fee, but I've changing my view due to the general Worldwide problem with over-tourism. It seems like the right track to focus more on tourists that can and will pay, rather than massive budget tourism. -

To my knowledge: You have to be registered as resident in a House Book, but don't need to stay in Thailand.

Canceling a single entry non-o visa?

Just get a new clean passport and make BOI happy; your single entry non-O visa was "cancelled" at the moment it was used for entry. -

Officials Concerned Over Potential Overcrowding in Pattaya and Phuket
khunPer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Over-tourism is a surging problem many places. Selling – the PM states that he is a seller – before the product is available is a critical issue; for tourism it's especially a question of infrastructure. And of course, the Songkran water wars should have lasted the promised 21 days... Some will not like this comment, but former PM Prayut Chan-o-cha was in a way on the right track with "quality tourism" – i.e. better off guests that can afford to spend some money instead of low budget mass tourism – however, how ro deal with it is difficult; entrance fee like in Venice or allowed number og visitors for various areas. -

Govt brushes off central bank’s call for review of digital wallet scheme
khunPer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Makes really good sense to help the "around 15 million financially vulnerable individuals, instead of the planned 50 million in its proposal"... In reality, if given to 50 million people, it's not a "gift" from the government, it's a loan that the population will need to pay back plus some level of interest... -
