This is scam against Thai's...not foreigners.

Minor case of fraud against farang. Nothing will come of this.

 

Why don't the parents get the proper paperwork from the school?

Where do farang come into this???

Indeed. 

 

If he's smart he'll be in Pattaya. All he's got to do to disappear into the crowd is shave his head, get a Chang vest, some bad tats and curse 5 times in every sentence. They'll never find him. 

 

Sad but true (and not only for Brits).

Been paying the 419 price for 3 years now, so nothing changed as yet.

Extension done by agent almost certainly not done at Jomtien.

The consequences on not reporting back at 3 months are zero. 

First point--Of course extensions are done by agents at Jomtien. Why would you say this?

Second point--This does seem to be true, but probably better to do it if asked.

But it is their concern, not ours, if TM6 temporarily scrapped.

 

You scoff at my post, but when I came into SUV at the end of July this is what the IO told me to do. Also in other threads, posters had mentioned the same for July arrivals. This IO practice may have been discontinued in August, but maybe other posters have had the same experience.

I agree with that, my daughter here in Thailand is British/Thai however the term referred to, "luk-krueng" for want of a better word, is not as far as I'm aware derogatory, not according to this thread anyway:

Of course its not derogatory...it is commonly used in daily speech.

Present title is held by a company yes, and they have not intention of selling there company with the land.

they just want to part with the asset.

I think I have another week before a Thai person steps in and shows intention to buy.

A week is not enough time to open a new company..it can take up to 6 weeks.

Plus you must take into account all the possible pitfalls I have mentioned previously. 

If you really want the land, and you only have a week to make an offer, then your only recourse is to buy in a thai persons name. But of course then you have a huge trust issue, so personally, even though it might hurt, it would be prudent to walk away for this (IMO).

thainet What about buying an existing company

Yes possible to do, but lawyer still required as there must be due diligence done on the company. It may have taxes owed, unpaid loans, asset liabilities etc.

Also still a time consuming process as old directors/shareholders must be taken off, and you and your shareholders added to the company.

Plus the last paragragh of my earlier post would still apply.

It is easier if the land/asset you are buying is already owned by the company, then it is just a matter of changing director/shareholders, but still must do due diligence as described above.

It seems you are new these proceedings, so be careful on whatever course you take.

Why? It was a reply to Bangkok Hank who says he lives near Suvarnabhumi.

 

If you live near the airport you might come under Immigration at Samut Prakan where you can get a re-entry permit.

I stand corrected.

People usually use a lawyer to setup the company, not a Thai business man, whatever that means. 

You need to decide who will be the other 2 owners of the company, the other 51%.

Agree with this 100%. Setting up a Company (especially with a foreigner involved) is not an easy process, and not something a thai business man would be able to do, therefore a lawyer is really the only entity that can do this for you correctly. Also you must research this before going ahead, as to preferential/non preferential shares, other shareholders/director, voting rights, tax implications, Accountant etc.

Also most importantly who will be the person that actually has the authority to transfer the land at the land Office (as a foreigner you cannot), so the company and its assets, will be wholly owned by them, for the duration of the land transfer....There are many pitfalls with having a Thai Company, so beware. It is also a time consuming process.

Make sure you go to the new office. It's on the first floor. I'd always advise to go early as it's a pain when they close between 12-1.

Why would he want to go to Samut Prakan, when he's leaving from SUV.

Strange post.

Total dud. Most Nzers seem to live in Oz or about half.

Your statement is a bit over the top, but yes it is true that many NZ'ers are going to OZ for better wages, plus the probable law change that covers kiwis for health/social services while in Aussie.

But on the flip side NZ is starting to get many Aussie tourists now that travel is easier.

Thanks guys, I see one of you thainet, has experience in this area, and does what I was hoping you can do to insure a new/other driver of your vehicle.  I would be willing to pay them the extra amount if needed to make certain their insurance is in top shape.  Have you ever had to file a claim for an individual who drove one of your cars and had an accident, and what was involved in the settlement?  I ask, because maybe you've been lucky and never had to file a claim, and so the insurance company is none the wiser about you renting out your vehicles.

 

Thanks again,

Jim

Yes had  some small claims---no problems, but this my experience only..others maybe different.

One VERY IMPORTANT thing is the need for a Thai Licence.

Most insurance companies don't tell you this, but if reading the very small print it is usually a requirement to make a claim.

Just one question. Do you as a renter have to pay for the service charge /maintenance fee or is it usually included in the rent?

Depends on the landlord. For me personally I include it in my apartment rentals, but usually do 50/50 on my house rentals. I have standard contracts (that I made myself) and just massage them a bit for each new tenant and circumstance.

I thought that 'no treatment without payment' was cleared now with the additional 500 thb tourist tax????

Haha to the first part, and the 300 baht tax has been delayed indefinitely (and nobody really knows what it is for, or what/or if it will cover health related issues).

0.75 acres is only enougth for 1 home

Dont be silly mate...it is nearly 2 rai, and enough for at least 6, maybe more homes. Many new devlopment, middle of the road, standalone houses are only 80-100 sqm of land.

(if townhouses then double that figure).
