–but there is only on Koh Samui...

????

Richard Barrow says at 6:15 pm: All boats, including ferries between the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, have been told to stay ashore until at least 20th December due to rough seas. Four ships have sunk and one container ship has run aground so far. HTMS Sukhothai also sank last night. Stay safe if you’re down south.

The Meteorological Department at 5 AM warned of high waves in the Gulf of Thailand starting on Sunday, December 18th. This led the governor to prohibit all boats from leaving shore from 8 AM on Sunday until a yet-to-be-determined time on Monday. The governor also cited strong winds and widespread rain throughout the South. Ferry services on the following routes are suspended: Surat Thani-Ko Samui-Ko Phangan-Ko Tao Don Sak-Ko Samui-Ko Phangan-Ko Tao Ko Samui-Ko Phangan-Ko Tao-Chumphon Ratchaprapa Dam in Ban Takhun district Source: TPN National News.

If you "don't have a clue what it is", they will not hire you – foreigners are supposed to be manager in charge of the local work-staff, so some level of knowledge and experience is normally required...????

Contact some of the local real estate agents – Google might be helpful – quick sale normally equals low price like around 2/3 of the normal selling price, which is not the same as asking price...????

You cannot import household duty-free, you need a non-immigrant visa, or a work permit to do that. A 20-feet container might be safer and could also be cheaper than shipping separate boxes. I was recommended a container when I moved to Samui. Get the stuff or the container shipped CIF Bangkok and use a local shipping agent to clear with customs and arrange for domestic transport to the island, is you are not using an expensive courier-style company with door-to-door delivery, all inclusive. Expect to pay little both duty and vat. You might need to travel up to Bangkok with your passport for custom declaration. A very detailed packing list plus a pro-forma invoice is required with value estimated for each item, and type- and serial numbers for all electronics. If you do a required by the customs you'll have a trouble free import, especially if you pay a small overtime fee to the custom officers in the harbor, if your shipping agent recommends that...????

It's the usual annual monsoon season during November and December, the two months you should avoid shorter holiday trips yo Samui, as you might experience a couple of weeks with utterly awful weather...

That's why some of us locals prefer use Seatran and their newer second-hand ferries...

But still not covered by insurance, always check that you are covered before sitting on a motorbike in Thailand – and especially on Koh Samui – even when riding pillion.

I wouldn't choose either of the options...

A servitude – like usufruct – is registered at the land office; the amphor-office has nothing to do with land title deeds...????

See here (Thai Law for Foreigners, page 80)...

To my knowledge, it varies between immigration offices or provinces. Some immigration offices resets the 90 day reporting when domestically applying for O-visa or extending the stay, others counts from entry date and continue independently of extensions of stay. The immigration office I use resets the 90-days reporting.

Please note that it is SATURDAY December 17th, my mistake, but I cannot edit the post.

Having a Will will negate any such confusion. Not according to "Thai Law for Foreigners", page 80, spouse will be left 50 percent and children shares 50 percent... That is in principle also what the linked text says: "If there is more than one heir in any one class, they take an equal share of the entitlement available to that class" – spouse is one class, children is another class; i.e. 50 percent to each class...????

She can make a Last Will, if no Last Will the husband gets 50 percent and children shares 50 percent.

Re: @Tropicalevo's suggestion for water delivered by truck; the smallest water trucks carry 2 cubic meters, so you need a tank capacity that fits this size, if you want to use that option. You can in average count between 100 and 150 liters water use per day per person.

An excellent advice from you lawyer...???? Yes, buy a fair size water tank compared to how many people living in the house, a small 500 liter tank with a floating valve might be enough and that might cost in the area of 6,000 baht; a pressure pump for water-pressure in the house, which can be a fairly small pump for around 4,000-6,000 baht if you are only 2-3 people living in not more than 2 floors, have the pump installed so it can be easily exchanged as lifetime might be somewhere between 5 and 10 years; a small clear filter-house for a 5-10 micron filter to clean the water coming into the house, mounted after the pump, filters need to be changed weekly or fortnightly depending of the amount of dirt and alges, filters can be bought for less than 30 baht a piece from either DIY or Lazada; a pair of good quality plastic valves, so you can close water pressure when changing filter, they might cost about 400-500 baht each...???? The photo below shows the type of filter-house – the one shown is one I have on my water tank the attic with an UV-lamp, just shown for the type – it costs about 600-700 baht...

I got a different experience, where I found the stuff I needed cheaper in Morya...

I was attacked and bitten in the leg by my next door neighbour's Chihuahua when they left their gate open...

You can enter visa exempt and apply for a non-immigration type-O visa domestically, no background checks made, just you have 800k baht from abroad in a Thai bank account. After that you can repeated extend your stay for 12 month every year. I originally came on a 1-year multiple entry non-O from my home country, and I was never asked any documentation for my criminal past – however, the Thai authorities didn't miss any exciting stories...
