Ask city hall

You doubt it? Is that supposed to be a convincing reply? Don't tell me. Your guess is... Could be that ... I'll bet 300 on... Even City Hall weren't able to come up with any figures for the alleged accident rate on Thepprasit. The point is, Thepprasit is a highly commercialised road. There are shops and businesses and Sois the whole length of it on both sides of the road. Access to these is now seriously restricted. You have to travel 100s of metres up the road in order to U turn to get back to where you want. Those businesses are going to suffer no end. It's not like Nua which has relatively few commercial establishments. God forbid they try this on Tai or Klang. Or 3rd. In addition, the central reservation takes up valuable road space. It's not a help. It's a hindrance. It's now a major problem, not a solution.

How can an agreement between two parties be preserved with the death of one of the parties? Supposing the land was inherited by a third party. Are you suggesting it will be encumbered with a usufruct? I don't believe a usufruct is transferable. The new owner might agree to a new usufruct, but in any event, the old one will terminate. But, maybe I'm wrong.

That's what I was getting at. Add to that the fact that this would be done during probate and I can only see trouble. Using Thais as proxies has hit the headlines recently in the cases of numerous Chinese companies using just that method.

I meant the part about under the watchful gaze of a court, a foreigner sets up a company full of Thai proxies.

A novel idea. Well, to me, at least. Has it been tested?

How can a written agreement outlast the signatories to it?

The idea was to explore all their options. The one year option is just one, and if it doesn't sell in that time, what then?

The OP says she has NO relatives. Hence the problem.

Totally agree. Dividing the road like this is incredibly dangerous. If a motorbike, car, pedestrian or whatever comes out in front of you you've only two options, crash into them or swerve right into the insanely stupidly placed barrier to avoid a potentially fatal collision, and rip the underside of your vehicle off, as this lady discovered, and suffer a horrible accident yourself. I went shopping today on Thepprasit. No more right turn into Lotus, no right turn into Ratanakorn Market, almost all access to right turnsinto side roads and shops blocked, no right into the 2 gas stations from the opposite side etc etc etc. And looks like they're putting in traffic light on the junction with Soi 6 or 8, not sure which. Somebody from City hall apparently came down and checked it after numerous complaints, but all they've done is to open a few metre wide gaps. The SUVs can hardly get round in a single U turn. City hall claimed there were numerous accidents on Thepprasit prior to this but quoted no figures. It's just scandalous!

I think if his wife predeceases him, a usufruct or a lease would also terminate. I agree with the poster above. Find a trustworthy lawyer (needle/haystack possibly) and try to work out the scenario where she does predecease you. I'm not sure if her making some sort of provision in a will might be possible. Is there anybody in the village/a close friend you could trust to whom she could leave the land, on the proviso you were given a lifelong usufruct agreement registered at the land office. You could go on living there, and running the farm, within the limits of the labour laws, for the rest of your life. Or, maybe leave it in trust? As somebody above suggests, a court might award you 12 months in which to dispose of it. But after that....?

I can't remember exactly. I think maybe a couple of hundred baht per unit but I only have small ones for my house. Kitchen, wooden rooms etc. In the firestation there's an area with equipment outside and a door nearby. That's where I asked if they could do it. They were very friendly. I guess some pocket money for them, and they did a good job from what I could see.

I got mine refilled and serviced at the Pattaya firestation. It's a lot more economical if it's possible.

Duplicate

It's CNN. I don't know what the editors of AN had in mind by putting it up here. The whole article relies on a multitude of papers published in America, which nobody will read here. So really it just amounts to a troll. So I picked out the headline and worked on that. I never said I used all 3 here. I debunked all the, to me, totally irrelevant academia by suggesting that cannabis use has been around for a lot longer than these academics and the multitude of papers they've churned out. Makes a lot more sense to me than getting into an argument about it. Maybe the irony is, people smoke weed just to get away from the every day tedium of research, results, and statistics. I mean, you'd never order another pint of cold Guinness if you thought there might be a bed waiting for you in an ICU somewhere as a result, would you?

Seems the previous program was a complete disaster. 500,000 migrant workers still to be registered. What's the Thai government actually doing to run this program? It seems "administrative obstacles and financial constraints" have caused the backlog.

Yeah, since they outlawed ganja. In 1969 they were peaceful countries you were free to travel through. Now? Well, you're right.

Afraid I see TAT or cannabis in a headline and I go into debunk/spoof/irony mode. It's pointless arguing with the content. Weed has been around for millennia. Millions around the world have smoked it for millenia. In Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and India in 1969 it was available anywhere. I bought an ounce of opium in the government shop in Kathmandu. It and hash were later criminalised. Decriminalisation is simply putting things back the way they used to be. There's nothing new in it. People who think it's the end of civilization should realize, drugs, psychotropic and all, have been around, and been part of, all civilizations from the outset. More like the start of civilization than the end. Nobody is forced to smoke weed. Yet! But I'm sure WEF have an agenda for that too ????????????!

Yes, and there's absolutely no doubt Gates and the WEF have a hand in it. But no, there's no evidence I know of that aspirin is addictive. It was only in there as a foil, but you picked up on it.

Ah, it's been edited out I suspect.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/aspirin-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20152665?p=1 I think it warrants a mention.

Substitute marijuana in the headline with any drug, alcohol, smack, aspirin, fentanyl, lysergic acid, largactyl, nembutal, mandies, uppers and downers. What do you get? Addiction, paralysis and death. ????????????. Trust me. I'm a doctor.

Perhaps, rather than assuming what he's supportive of, you could actually check it out. And his appointment overcame many weeks of deadlock and political jostling which was in danger of breaking up the whole coalition. They found someone they could all agree on, 8 parties and all. He has a lot of seniority in the political world, and respect. Ideal man for the job if you ask me. Now they just need to find 60 + extra votes for Pita.

Vexatious litigation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vexatious_litigation The baiters are snapping at his heels. And how does being an executor amount to ownership? How can it possibly? If his name is on the share certificates, how can it possibly form part of his father's estate? Nobody seems interested in the legal aspects of all this.

How do they stack up? For US citizens I guess it's simple to hop across the border, but for those of us further afield would Mexico be a viable alternative to Thailand?
