  1. Any animals life is worth trying to save and 1000 baht isn’t a lot of money to do that. I don’t know where you live but here in pattaya we have an animal hospital which is very cheap. It’s the animal army hospital in Bansaray tel 0850935954 Dr Kwanchai. the cats urgently needs fluids and antibiotics which don’t cost that much. pls do the right thing and take the cat to a vet ASAP
  2. Another stupid predicable comment from a keyboard warrior.
  3. I’ve lived in pattaya for 12 years and you’re right it has become a cesspit which I can no longer live in so I’m selling up and moving to Samui. the city is at saturation point with constant traffic, road works, disgusting air pollution and what seems like hundreds of large tour buses pumping out their black smoke and clotting the city’s roads. Driving around even on a motorcycle is a pure misery and very dangerous as the roads are lawless. ive been coming to Thailand since the late 80s especially pattaya and it’s sad to see what it has become. I accept everywhere changes but you’d hope for the better but unfortunately not pattaya so I for one will be happy to see the back of it. And for people who don’t know this the air pollution in pattaya most days is worse than Bangkok especially at this time of year
  4. Im currently servicing as a committee member in a large Jomtein condominium and I can tell you that if the painting of the building has been agreed by the co-owners at a AGM then there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it. If he tries to obstruct the work being carried out then get your Thai management company to contact the police and have them come round to talk to him. Most of the management company’s have a contact in the police who gets tea money each month so they’re be happy to assist. It might take just one visit to make this co-owner think twice about his actions however if he continues to obstruct the work he can be arrested for obstruction. Believe me there’s always at least one of these unsavory characters in every condo. We are currently dealing with one ourselves who is actually on his death bed but he is still trying to sue the committee for making improvements to our restaurant. He’s taken out the legal action in his company’s name so even if he dies the legal action will continue. Yes there are a some crazy people around and this fella sounds like one so good luck.
  5. I moved to Thailand (Pattaya) 12 years ago and I was completely unaware of the bad air pollution. Living by the ocean I never gave it a thought but once I became enlightened to this health issue I went out and bought 2 air purifiers which I run 24/7 at this time of year plus I always wear an N95 pollution mask when riding my scooter but unfortunately the toxic smog still affects my health and you’re right you can actually smell it. i love to swim, walk and do other types of exercise outdoors but unfortunately I just can’t do that at this time of year. Anyway I started to do some proper research into this subject and it made realize just how serious a problem it is especially in parts of Asia like Thailand. long term exposure will definitely damage your lungs, worse case we are talking lung cancer and emphysema just to name a few. Yeah it’s really <deleted> up. Got me thinking that I didn't come here to retire only to be a prisoner in my own home for 4 months of the year and to risk my health every time I ventured outside so I finally decided enough is enough and I’m planning my exit for later this year where I’ll relocate south to Koh Samui where the air is good most of the time. it wasn’t an easy decision though as I’ll be leaving behind many good friends and the thought of starting over again is a little daunting but I really didn’t feel I could carry on living In a city where the air is so toxic. Also Pattaya has become an extension of Bangkok with very bad traffic which only adds to the problem especially those hideous tour buses pumping out their black smoke. what amazes most though is that most people especially the tourists are completely oblivious to the air pollution and that’s despite it being reported almost on a daily basis now. if you’re going to live in pattaya and you value your health you definitely need to invest in some decent air purifiers. cheers
  6. Does anyone have any idea as to why the air pollution is so bad in Pattaya right now. It’s been like this for 5 days and the burning season hasn’t even began. It’s affecting Bangkok too but most of the north is fine so where could this be coming from. These levels of pm 2.5 are dangerously high and will cause long term lung damage but to my amazement the vast majority of people are oblivious to it.
  7. I’m a current serving committee member in a large condominium in Pattaya and I can tell you this definitely wouldn’t be allowed without AGM approval as it’s a change of use of the common area. the management company including the juristic don’t own the building, the CO-owners do and this change of use wouldn’t be allowed unless CO-owners voted for it at a AGM. The management company work for the CO-owners so they wouldn’t be allowed to make such decisions on their own. also I doubt very much if a committee would agree to this as it’s breaking condominium laws. if the current committee Im serving on made such a decision there would not only be uproar from the CO-owners but I would guarantee we as a committee would be taken to court for breaking condominium by laws and we’d lose. if they get away with this once you can bet they’ll do it again as someone is making money from this so the committee needs to be informed. Also ask other residents especially co-owners if they object and find out who the committee are. This just wouldn’t be allowed to happen in our building, not a chance in hell!
  8. My advice would be to take the kitten to Dr Kwanchai in Bangaray. This vet runs the animal army group that helps many stray dogs and cats. He won’t be able to take the kitten as he has too many already but he will give treatment at a very low price. I’ve dealt with him many times and he’s a very kind man so you won’t get ripped off. ‘’tel 085 0935954
  9. Yes we’ve tried everything. Unfortunately this is a very slow process where the management company try to contact the owners then if that fails they ask the police to take the bikes away. It’s been done in the past and we are in the process of doing it again but unfortunately the police don’t really w at ti get involved. Plus we are looking at getting everyone to register their bikes at the next AGM so if there’s people parking illegally we will hopefully find out. By the way we have enough car parking spaces so losing 3 won’t present a problem. This post was really for people who have had committee experience as what I’m trying to do is find out if we are breaking condominiums act rules. Even though I appreciate peoples comments they’re only personal opinions which don’t really help. I need advice on the condominium act in terms of my enquiry. Our AGM is months away and high season is approaching so we really need this parking space soon and even more so come high season when we will be saturated with bikes.
  10. Thanks for taking the time to reply
  11. Hi everyone I’m looking for some clarification or advice regarding the use of condominium common ground for parking. Currently we have a situation at our condominium where we don’t have enough space for the amount of motorcycles we have. The problem is getting worse each year with more motorcycles being purchased and not enough space to park them. The current committee which I’m part of want to convert 3 car parking slots into a new motorcycle area however we are not sure if we need AGM approval for this project. when the condominium was built there was only one area for motorcycles to park but since then more areas have been allocated without AGM approval but last year one of the co-owners tried to sue the previous committee regarding an issue concerning the common area. Despite him not really having any legal grounds for doing so it’s made our management company tread very carefully concerning future projects. I’ve asked them to consult with their legal department but they seem very reluctant to commit one way or another. The way this committee see the situation is that the common area being used for this project is already for parking so we are not really changing the use of the area. it’s not like we want to build something completely different which would constitute a change of use and would need AGM approval. Any advice would be appreciated ‘Thanks
