  1. 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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Simple method is using Brahmaguta's formula.

    Area is equal to square root of (s-a)(s-B)(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.

  6. 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..

  7. The amity treaty is cignored by eveyone.

    Originally Americans had all the priveleges of Thais and vice versa - in the 60's Americans could by land here. The US kept it's part of the bargain, but Thailand no longer gives Americans anything over any other country.

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

  8. 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
