Does anyone know the exact requirements for changing a leasehold property to a freehold property. Is it just a case of the owner willing to sell as freehold instead of leasehold? (Seller is Thai and buyer is Thai)

Court Demands More Evidence from Polling Agency in Move Forward Case
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If the EC didn't provide enough evidence, then they should lost the case. Isn't that how it works? The court asking for more evidence is basically them saying "Find the evidence so we can provide a guilty verdict". Total BS -
Thaksin Scandal: Justice Minister Refuses to Weigh in on Charges
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I've heard that theory many times over the past 15 years, but it doesn't really hold true. People charged with 112 often have an allusion in the article to what the charge was about e.g. Move Forward charge -

Would be great if any of these articles alluded to what he actually said in that interview. 🤔 -

Got it - that makes more sense then. -
Allegations of Proxy Voting in Senatorial Election Spark Inquiry
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wait - so he's saying that all candidates would vote for themselves?? In this scenario he plays out, does it not then lead to everyone receiving one vote and nobody winning? -

Let's not be hasty to judge. Just because he's tatted this way, does not make him a chav. -
Thailand Supplies Bhutan with Locally-Made Armoured Vehicles and Pistols

Nothings says "Buddhist Country" more than "peacekeeping in Central Africa". Spreading the peace - how nice of them 🤣 -
Woman's 10,000 Baht Loan Spirals into 2.6 Million Debt
SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So we're supposed to believe this lady agreed to borrowing 10,000 THB at 1,000 THB daily interest? Why didn't she just wait 10 days and save the 10,000 herself? Well, because this story is total BS, that's why. Now is there an element of truth? Perhaps - like the lady initially borrowed 10k for daughter's education, but then borrowed some more, or never made any payments at all - a lot of facing saving in front of daughter possibly?? -
900-year-old Statue Returns to Thailand After Decades in New York
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The whole article (including the Thai archeologist) state that it is Khmer from the era when the Khmer Kingdom existed on current Thai geographical land. Where is the "Thai ego" you're talking about? -

Over 31,000 apply for Thai Senate as 5-year term ends
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Moreover, how is "others" a professional category? Surely having "others" negates the need to have any specific categories at all. 🙄 -

Luxury Mercedes Maybach Involved in 11.2M Baht Accident
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Value of vehicle is probably 11.2 and repair cost 1 million. ChatGPT messed up and got its digital wires crossed which is common. I especially like the "Father Onew" slipped in there 🤣 -
Showering won't make a dent as water is practically free. AC can run 500 - 3000 Baht depending on how many units are on. You shouldn't pay any commission to anyone (that's the owner's problem) What's your budget per month?

"Over 210,000 people have informed the Election Commission (EC) of their wish to run as a Senate candidate and the EC expects at least 100,000 candidates to run." More like, "the EC will allow 100,000 candidates to run". Why would 210,000 people inform the EC they wish to run and then suddenly 110,000 decide they don't want to? Farcical

Thai man accuses RTP police chief of scapegoating in rape case
SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That's the first part that made my jaw dropped. It then dropped some more when later in the report it mentions that the case was dismissed by another court, which only resulted in his sentence being reduced? WTAF. So we've learned two bizarre things: 1) rape penalties are ridiculously light and 2) you can have a case dismissed but remain in prison. -
Embattled deputy police chief claims PM has abused authority
SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Was he prepared to pay for the promotion to his current rank though (not as expensive) or was it purely a merit promotion? -
162 people killed, 1,279 injured in road accidents in past four days
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I've never heard them claim that's it's higher, but they always dub it the "7 deadly days" to make the people think about driving safer. Labling some days as deadly isn't the same as saying they're more dangerous than other days. -
GHB Home Loan for Thai Abroad (Factual?)
SABloke replied to SABloke's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
That link only references Thai people working abroad, not unemployed spouses using foreign spouse income (as is mentioned in the article). -
Referee attack at Thai boxing match sparks sport integrity debate
SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Interesting take, since the paragraph preceding this one states... How can you pay out on an outcome that has been officiated yet, if not for some sort of pre-arranged fixing?
