Got it. Thanks a bunch. I just received mine at Chiang rai 2 hospital. I will be marrying a Chinese girl soon and it would be nice to know she can be covered.

Thanks for all your replies.. After checking out the map and other factors, I decided to drive to Udon Thani. Is there a parking lot near Vientiane on Thai side? If not, I may have to park in Udon Thani for couple of days.

I plan to drive to Chiang Mai and fly to Udon Thani for few days. Is there a place where I can park my pickup for 4 days?

Just picked up my card this morning at Chiang Rai 2 hospital (behind police station). USA citizen, single, age 55 living in Muang Chiang Rai. Only documents required were my passport and condo chanote which I own. Nurse told me kindly that I can go to Chiang Rai hospital if any medical needs arise. Still not sure exactly what is covered and hopefully won't need to find out. Does anybody know if colonoscopy is covered under this plan?

What are the limits to visa runs? I live near the border. I can forget the 800k deposit and just make a visa runs.

Thanks ! Really appreciate your feedback..

Thanks for the reply. Are there extra requirements such as bank deposit/income? I just renewed my extension on 800k in the bank.

I just renewed my retirement extension and plan to bring my wife from China. She is Chinese citizen and I am American citizen. What requirements do I need to apply for her visa in Thailand?

Thanks in advance.

Ok for all you math gurus here is a pic of the actual lot...not sure if you can calculate the angles you guys are talking about from this or not....but this is all the info I have....the measurements are all shown in feet as the lot is in the USA. I'm ok with the previous 758 sm but if anyone wants to keep calculating go for it.

Pomchop,

758 sqm is area if it's cyclic quadrilateral shape. If it's not, you need to know at least one of the diagonal length or angel of any one of the corners. Looking at your picture it may not be cyclic quadrilateral meaning all four vertices must lie in a circle. Best way to be sure is measure the distance of any two points.

If you google "calculate area of irregular polygon", it quickly becomes clear that there is no simple way to do that without getting into serious maths. If you don't have access to an app like Acad, then what I would do is get a simple drawing app (like MSPaint that is standard with windows, or even a pencil and paper with grid lines on it) and decide on units for each square, Say a big square = 10ft, and a small square =1ft, you can get an approximate answer.

If you know how to do vertices, then you can do it online as shown here http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-the-Area-of-a-Polygon

All you need is calculator with square root feature and use Brahmaguta's formula as stated in my reply to Pomchop.

.so is the correct answer approx. 758 square meters?

Yes, that's correct

Simple method is using Brahmaguta's formula.

Area is equal to square root of (s-a)(s-(s-c)(s-d)

a,b,c,d are the length of the four size and where:

s = (a+b+c+d)/2

Hence you get square feet of 8,159 sqt. convert it to meter, it is 758 sqm minus the decimals.

8,159.298 sqf or 758 sqm

I play little bit of guitar and probably can keep with basic bass run.. let me know if you can't find a bassist..

You see mikekim1219 ... it all depends what you identify as a 'Townhouse'?

Are you suggesting a 2 story building with common walls on both sides?

Is there common ownership of the large parcel that all the properties are built on and the Structure simply owns a lot on the 'Body Corporate'?

... or the English Victorian model where it is the same as above but the building owns the land that it is built on.

Same but different ... and that difference is important.

.

It is a building with common walls on both side with two stories. Not sure about common ownership of the properties. What is the "Body Corporate"?

I just saw the building yesterday with introduction from a foreigner friends. He claims foreigner can buy but didn't provide anymore details..

Quick question

Can foreigner buy a townhouse in Thailand?

Have you tried to open business under Treaty of Amity? The Treaty stipulates that no land owning.

Has any American citizens living in Thailand opened a business under Treaty of Amity? I am interested in opening a restaurant without any Thai national involvements.

Thanks in advance.

I bought 2012 Hilux Vigo last Sept. I need English Owner's manual but can't seem to find one. Anyone able to find one?

Thanks in advance.

I will be out of town and be back next week. Let me know how it works out if you go to Old Airport.

You can go to old airport road. There is 9 hole course. You can also unwind at the World Class Hamburger (WCH) at the course. There are 4 main course in Chiang Rai, Mae Kok, Happy City, Santiburi and Waterford. Santiburi is the best maintained and located 10 km from town. Happy City newly opened course invested by Koreans. It's about 15km to Happy city. Mae Kok is army course located near downtown and least maintained course but have interesting 18 holes. Waterford is bit out the way, 45km from town.

For transportation the course, you can call the taxi. The rate is very cheap. Santiburi, about 300B, Happy City 500B round trip.

There is saturday morning friendly outing at old airport. You can hang around at the WCH and meet some local farlang golfer. The owner is also golf instructor from California. He can guide you about the golf
