  1. In tourist areas the willingness to vaccinate has been very good. But what about those parts where a lot of people live but few tourists visit? 

     

    My feeling is it will be hard to achieve 70 % as like in other countries many people are sceptical due to different but often intelligent reasons.

     

    I think the target of 70% will be reached - but only after the government forces people to accept it (directly or indirectly).

    OP, given the circumstances, wouldn't it be a better to just pay all of the bills at this stage, keep receipts etc, then settle up when the property is sold. She wont get far getting bills split 50/50 if they still go unpaid. As far as the Condo juristic is concerned they bill a condo, the ownership structure is irrelevant to them.

     

    The Thai lady has bigger problems than half the condo fees, if the foreigner cant be found, the property wont be able to be sold unless both parties are involved. 

    All paper for sale are in order (POA etc.)so not a problem to register a sale at LO. All maintenance fees has to be paid before. In this case it will be taken to court before I assume. Thai lady is prepared to pay maintenance only for her 50% which to me is understandable. Water or electricity can not be cut off in this case.

  3. I have been asked about a case where a married couple have bought a condo and on the Land Office they are registered owning 50% each. In this case the couple (m=farang, f=thai) have gone through a registered divorce  and they still own each 50% each after divorce. The unpaid invoices cover only time after the divorce was registered.

     

    The farang left the country after divorce and his new adress is not known. He is not interested in fullfilling any of his ”obligations”. The Thai lady is willing to pay according to her percentage of ownership. The condo has been up for sale since the divorce but no buyer has shown any interest so far.

     

    The JP now insists the Thai lady is responsibel for 100 % of the maintenance fee even if she does own only 50 %. The invoices has been issued in the two names ”put together”.

     

    Questions:

    1.       Is an owner only responsible for his percentage ownership according to what has been registered by Landoffice?

    2.       Can the issued invoice be declared not issued legally as two name were put together instead of one invoice sent              to each of them?

    Had mine for years, never been able to use it. Brought it with me to Immigration, DL office etc. None of them accepted it as proof of address.

    Had mine for years as well. Used many times including Immigration, DL offices etc. Been good to have!

     

    Got the pink ID as well. Could easily do without it

  5. Had this happened to me some years back with a new Honda. Told them I will not pick up the car until it got original plates, red or white (they offered "copied red plates" which I refused). Within only 4 days the car was ready for delivery with white plates as well as the original registration book.

     

    A dealer have a certain numbers of red plates only. Dealers improving their cash flow by misusing the consignment system by late payments of delivered cars easily can run out of red plates - it appears many of them are.

     

    Personally I would not drive without plates as I as a farang try to avoid setting myself up as a potential target. But indeed most people do without any problems.

  6. After marriage to my Thai wife in 2002 I changed my surname to her Thai name. It has worked out well and never caused any problem. The main reason for the name change was my original surname had a letter not to be found in the English/American alphabet.

     

    I have been living most my life outside my home country and this special letter did cause me a lot of problems in dealing with banks, immigrations, airlines etc.
