Will the tourists still have to be high net worth tourists spending 800,000 Baht each?

Hi

My soon to be Thai ex-wife and I have a daughter, born in Thailand she has both Thai and UK passports. I plan to retire to Thailand in a couple of years but being a farhang I can not buy land. My cunning plan will be to buy a house (NOT a condo) in my daughters name. She will be 12 or 13 by the time I am ready to retire. The property will of course eventually be hers anyway but I want to be sure her mother will never own it or control it. If anything were to happen to my daughter after I'm pushing up the daisies, I would rather the asset went to a charity. not her mother or that family.

 

Any help will be much appreciated

Hi

My Thai wife and I were married at the local Amphoe when we were living in Thailand about 7 years ago. We both now live in the UK but have separated and want to get divorced. However, there is this little thing called COVID 19 that will, for the foreseeable future, stop us getting back to Thailand. This means we can not go to the Amphoe where we married in person to get the divorce done. Does anyone know if it is possible for us to get a legal divorce in Thailand without visiting the country? Perhaps a Thai lawyer can help with this?

 

Your help will be much appreciated.

I'll bet he does. No chance of any peace here until you adhere to the law and face up to your criminality. Come back and go to gaol you coward.

If you cant do the time don't do the crime!

Interestingly, in my humble opinion, if he had done his time (from memory it was only a couple of years), the people of Isaan would have hero worshiped him. He'd have been a man of the people willing to pay his debts to society. He'd have been PM for all eternity. But no, like the sake he is, he is he chose to abscond and slink about evading justice like a petty criminal on the run. Furthermore he's not getting any better looking as he gets older!

Thailand, hub of Bulls#1t reporting.

Every Song Kran and New Year we see these horrendous statistics. But the bare figures are a little misleading. If you Google Annual road deaths Thailand you will find figures from 12,000 to 26,000. Take the lowest figure: 12,000 then divide by 365 = a tad under 33 people a day die in RTA's in LOS. Multiply by 5 = 165. Now subtract this figure from the 248 Song Kran deaths and you are left with a mere 83 additional RTA fatalities associated with lunacy surrounding Song Kran. That's just 16.6 additional deaths per day. In the LOS where death and danger lurks round every corner you'd hardly even notice that.

In the US 2012, there were more than 350 fatalities during the Christmas travel period.

Population of US five and a half times greater than Thailand. Think about it!

There is a boom - the Thai Gov under-reports the numbers drastically

Oh dear ! their electoral basis is getting smaller by the day.First they piss off the farmers and now the first time car buyers.They do seem to be an incompetent lot.Whoever wins the next election is going to have to find an awful lot of money,better to lose maybe.

But ironically they still support these corrupt numpties. At the last election a few months back my wife tried to tell all her family in the village (and there are many of them) that Ying & Tack are corrupt villains who are incompetent and don't give a shit about poor Thais. But they all still voted for them. You can lead a horse to water...............

The US always budgets more than it has on hand. Can't they print more money like the US does or have a country like China that will lend it to them? Is their version of democrats different than that of the US?

Have you ever experienced loaning a Thai some money ?

In my experience it is a one way transaction

I predicted this months ago

If you need to borrow from the government to buy a car you can't afford one , same as the housing schemes around the world

All these government backed schemes all over the world are doomed to failure. They mess with free market economics, create bubbles and false markets. At some point the market will adjust itself. Has the world learned nothing from 2008? In our town a whole new load of used car dealers sprung up over the last two years. I'm told the vehicles on their forecourts (mostly pickups) are repossessions. Fall out from the first car scheme perhaps? Could there be a link to the rice pledge scheme? Double whammy for unfortunate farmers. Well done Yingluck and co. Unfortunately your average brainwashed Isaan farmer isn't equipped to see through these vote buying scams.

nobody dies from a shot to testicles, unless the bullet entered through testicles and lodged in the femoral aorta, abdomen, ribcage.

Bled to death maybe?

Two points: 1) If that rail link between Swampy and DM actually happens will be brilliant. I might actually be able to make my connection if not stuck in Bangkok traffic.

2) Just who buys stuff at inflated prices from these airport shopping Malls? Compared to shopping in outside Malls: poor choice of goods, probably out dated models, no chance to compare prices and bloody expensive. Only stuff I buy from these places is perfume for the wife (at least we know it is likely to be the genuine article) and over priced Thai snacks for dear old mum.

It's cheap, the climate, the culture , yada, yada, yada. BS. Good ol' fashioned mid life crisis and the hunt for younger women brought you here. Be honest.

You didn't come here for air you can't breathe, the water you can't drink or western items you have to HUNT for. And it definitely wasn't the som tom. Me? It definitely played big on my decision. So...admit it.

Are you all trying to say Thai women accept payment in exchange for sexual intercourse? I'm shocked and horrified. I am going to pack my bags and relocate to the Philippines where I know women don't do that sort of thing.

Thanks for your help. In order to avoid confrontation with local BiB immigration scammers I think it best to go to Udon Thani for a day. Can do some shopping at same time.

Good point sir. We lose power often when there are storms. And on a very frequent basis we lose water all day. That happens on average twice a week with no warning.

Maybe Thai cigarettes should be sold in plain packs? Better still, bar girls should be dressed in plain packs. That might help preserve wealth!

It just occurred to me that PTP can now ask for a loan to find and eradicate all unexploded ordinances. How many billions of baht can be requested for this new scheme??

That's got to be worth another Trillion on the national debt. Big tea money!

It seems that whenever the bomb landed, somebody just buried it.

No consideration for anybody in the future.

Unlikely to have been buried on purpose. A surprisingly high proportion of bombs dropped from aircraft hit the ground without detonating. So if a 500lb object hits soft ground at full speed, it will bury itself. Left there for posterity to discover. There are most likely thousands of UXBs in major cities all around the world, especially Europe after WW2. Having lived in London I know from experience they are unearthed on a regular basis. Difference is, London scrap dealers don't try to cut them open with an oxyacetylene cutters! TiT

I'm surprised the Thai media hasn't yet blamed the falangs who dropped the bomb.

But then again, that would mean reminding the Thai people that they declared war on the UK and USA.

I'm curious to know if Thailand really did declare war on the Allies (not only the USA and the UK). Remember the railway?

From the little I know of the subject, they capitulated rather than fight, which might have delayed things by a few days only.

Any references anyone?

Try Googling: thailand declared war on the united states and england

Is it a bomb? Is it a hammer? Is it a bomb? Is it a hammer? Jeez, I just don't. Oh, well, never mind, bring over the blow torch and let's see which one it is.
