Honda Wave, Yamaha Finn, gearbox and riding
OneMoreFarang replied to driver52's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Where do you live and what do you want to use it for? Do you need to get through bad traffic in the middle of Bangkok? Don't buy a bike only because you like the bike. Think about if it makes sense for what you want to use it for. -

Really? Just in case you forgot how to use a clutch, within 5 minutes you should be able to learn it again. And then is just happens automatic, muscle memory. -
Thaksin’s tweet about grandchild seen as political gambit
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I always thought the idea is that the mother of the child takes care of the child, and not the grandfather. Maybe she should stay home and take care of her child. And he should stay in the desert. Win for the baby, win for Thailand. -
Trump to sit down with CNN in implicit dig at Fox
OneMoreFarang replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
That's great news. Viewers of CNN will hear more of his lies and will have more reasons not to vote for him. And the right-wing crowd will be angry at him about being on CNN. Win/win. -
How can she not inherit the house etc after he dies. A usufruct is void after death. "A usufruct interest expires upon the death of the holder of the usufruct and therefore cannot be inherited."--- Section 1418 of the Civil and Commercial Code She owns the house already, she does not inherit it. But it seems he has other assets which she will currently inherit. That's what he wrote.

Now it's bad, then maybe it will be worse. Maybe, because maybe if he is playing it right, then she will realize that he will not just lay down and let her beat him up. Maybe that will bring her more to a position of compromise. As far as I see it, he lives already in bad conditions. How would you feel if your wife goes on a holiday with her new lover and then tells you to move out? That's pretty bad from my point of view.

I am in Bangkok and I can't recommend anybody in Pattaya. I recently renovated my condominium in Bangkok and I like to give you the following advice: You are right to look for one contractor and not several workers. The contractor is responsible for everything. I.e. if someone installs a sink and in that process damages some tiles then it's the problem of the one contractor and not maybe the problem of this or that worker. I asked for a quotation with detailed prices separated by work and material, including exact information about the material (brand, model, etc.). And then I could compare the material prices with what I would pay if I buy it myself. In my case the material from the contractor was only slightly more expensive as if I would buy it myself. And his price included the delivery to my condominium, replacement if they damaged anything, etc. I paid a down payment for the whole project. But I didn't pay the material in advance. It seems it is not unusual that some ask for advance payment of material and then they walk away. Good luck!

Let her find a new lover, hopefully a rich one. And then sell him that land and the house and the wife. Probably that is what she wants anyhow. And make sure she doesn't inherit anything, and tell her after you changed your last will and testament.

I am thinking about setting up a new company. Then I need a work permit, regular accounting, etc. I "know" a few names of lawyers and accountants, but I have little personal experience with them. Lots of companies have nice looking websites, but that obviously does not mean that they are competent. Are there any sites on the internet with reviews about such companies in Bangkok? I just found one lawyer website with lots of information. And then I searched for that name and reviews and only one page came up with two bad reviews for that company. It would be nice to have some more reviews or recommendations from members here who are happy with the company they use.

A follow up question about above. If the employee is over 50 years old and not sure if the new employment will start in a month or maybe 4 months, is it a good idea to apply for a retirement visa after the employment ends? And then apply for a new business visa maybe 4 months later? Or is this a problem in some way? Is there any rule if in between employments a tourist visa or a retirement visa is better? Are there any other alternatives (when continuing to live in Thailand). Money in the bank for the retirement visa is not a problem.

And is it less dangerous if he sits on the back of a bike? -
Jomtien daily transportation advice (no scooter)
OneMoreFarang replied to Bond005's topic in Pattaya
A long time ago when I arrived in Thailand and I saw the traffic I thought I would never ride a motorcycle myself in those conditions. And I used motorcycle taxis for years. And I got more and more used to the way they ride, the streets, the legal and illegal shortcuts, etc. After I got used to it, I bought my first bike and rode myself and that's what I am still doing most of the time. Maybe that is an option for you. And if you think that maybe you go for a few drinks after work then you still have the option to not use your bike on that day. -
I recently bought a kitchen (METOD) from IKEA which is modal and gives me all options which I possibly want - and 20 years warranty. Before I bought it, I watched many videos about different manufacturers, etc. It seems that even people who want something special buy IKEA cabinets and then maybe they buy custom made fronts to make it really special for them. I found that interesting and maybe that is also an option for you. Personally all the existing options from IKEA are more than enough options for me.
