So you are under 50 and consider youself doing ok, that your online complaining about microwave repairs, when you can by a new microwave for 2k baht. Im sure your doing real real well buddy, keep giving out your advice about where to own significant value items, Im sure you got a lot of experience :S Hows that microwave going now? You managed to get your landlord to make the 200 baht repairs for you? Clever cookie you are, ill be sure to take your opinion with a mountain of salt

I present to you the man who is too clever to own anything of significant value in Thailand: Great mate, I hope to be as clever as you to not own anything, so I can complain about microwave repairs online, a microwave that isnt even mine! And you have to nerve to come on here and talk about others investments?! haha

So you own significant value elsewhere, yet complain about microwave repairs? LoL

Just only stupid enough to choose this spot on the planet to live? Thats just why you live here right? lol. You own nothing of value anywhere.

Doesnt seem like you will ever have to worry about owning anything of significant value.

Thats inspirational to hear, thanks for posting. I think we actually do have a policeman in the building, maybe I should get him onside!

Im preempting they turn off water based on these fees, and my tennant leaves that they will need to cover the rental contract.

They cant legally sue for any fees over 5 years old, so they wont be able to sue for that , source check here: https://housecondolawyer.com/common-fee, its the law.

Great reply, some posts on here are mindboggling, funny this guy telling about how we could of bought btc and nvidia, great when you can trade with heindsite. Yeah I would love to buy BTC at $1, Im quite sure no one here did especially not @ChaiyaTH . Rent yields here amongst the best in the world in Thailand, you dont get good rental yields in high cost nations like Australia and US, etc. You get it in low costs environments where people want to visit. Of course there are risks invovled. this is life though for everyone.

Think you are on the money there mate. Didnt want to have to come to it, but might be the best bet.

LoL. A little bit of pushback and you cant handle it. Also the examples you gave above regarding return are cherry picked examples of the best performing assets in the world, nivdia and btc, etc, so you going to compare the best performing assets in the world. LoL ok. Thailands rental returns are among the best in the world, not that you would have a clue.

Well that is not Thailand specific, that could happen anywhere in the world, so I guess by that logic you dont own land anywhere?!

Would probably agree with you at this point with me, although Im sure there are others with good management that had the opposite experience to me, maybe few and far between. If I was going to do it again I would just do the company and buy land and house not have to deal with management, or just buy in my sons name.

Its a different situation I think, if they actually knew they didnt pay the fees and admit to it. In this case, I have paid all my fees, the management is requesting a fee from 7 years ago in an error (provable). So in the case it did go to court I think they would be liable for any financial hit I took due to them turning off any utilities.

I am on speaking terms with both management and committee, very good terms with committee, with the management we just do not agree, but definitely on speaking terms. Do you have any sources for utilities switching off to be illegal? This would be very helpful. My understanding is that it it up to each condo and the by laws.
