Hi,

My wife and me are considering to open a guest house without serving food.

Just rooms for rent and a basic maid service.

Does one need a permit for that?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Sorry Tatsujin, I meant holder of PR, not PM...

Yes, I got residency, but even with that as a foreigner you still need a work permit, certain things though are just easier.

I mean not real work with a corporate contract or so.

Doing freelance work, writing and such.

Asking myself, holder of PR, if I should skip the yearly hassle of renewing the Work Permit.

Anyone in the same situation?

Your thoughts?

What do you guys think about the price development of this project?

On a higher floor the sqm-price is set at around 170k - within market range if you compare to other buildings.

Smaller units on lower floors are at around 150k.

From an investment point of view, can The Hyde make sense?

If yes, would you go for smaller units that you can rent for, say, 30-40k, or a big unit that can be rented for some 90k (when nicely decorated)?

Appreciate your feedback.

The project looks interesting and I think Grande Asset is determined to get it right.

Also the first pre-sale weekend was pretty good, they sold some 40 units giving 7% discount.

Best units still blocked - your take?

You should apply for citizenship (like I did) and put all that nonsense behind you for good.

Looks like the way to go NewlyMintedThai - can you walk me quickly through the process?

I've not had to show tax slips (PND91+receipt) to immigration or labor for the last several years, previously I did. This is working at a university and in Chiang Mai if that makes a difference.

//edit - and you are correct that they want to see the last 3 years of tax receipts for PR as one of the top requirements is paying tax.

Do you hold PR Tywais? If not I'd be surprised. That was always the first thing they wanted to see before I got PR.

Now I'm confused, and if not absolutely necessary I'll contribute to this lovely place by other means than paying taxes.

Am a holder of Permanent Residency.

As I recall during the past few years I didn't have to show the tax slip anymore when going through the Work Permit extension.

Or am I mixing up something?

Can it be that only immigration wants to see the tax slip? With PR one doesn't need immigration...

Which leads to a second question: to apply for PR one has to document at least three years of tax paying.

Applying for the Thai passport one also has to document to pay taxes?

Many thanks in advance.

Kanchanaburi is one of my favorite destinations in Thailand. If you are looking for a jungle walk, why not try the hellfire pass museum day trip? Visit the museum and then walk down into Hellfire pass, walk to the end of the cutting and then just keep going. Combine a jungle walk with a museum visit and teach the family a little bit of history. Make sure you take plenty of water as the going is quite rough in some places and you will need to keep well hydrated.

Thanks midas - the Hellfire Pass Museum we did already. We're looking for something more off the beaten track. Sure is a event the museum, a must for everyone!

Am aware of Bang Kra Jao, but wouldn't mind to drive to Kanchanaburi - or anything east of Bangkok? Any suggestions for a family jungle weekend walk?

If our best in brown want they can easily find the attacker(s). CCTV everywhere along BTS. But do they want.
