As above multiple years of occupation needed for squatters rights, but not beyond some people to get local signatures saying they have been there for decades growing cabbages!

We have a situation here where some friends purchased 3 rai of Nor Sor 3 Gor land about 5 years ago. They now want to sell but the Land Office has advised that they will not transfer title as the land is within an area that should not have been given title deeds. The original NS3G title was issued to a General in the police force or army. The Government can reclaim the land at any time.

They have not used the land since they bought it and the Land Office further advised that anyone could grow crops on it for one year and then claim the land. Someone has been growing cabbages on it without their permission so a very bad situation.

In that situation your friends should post haste get that person growing cabbages to sign a rental contract for the land even if it is only a tiny rental sum mentioned. Should get signatures on backdated versions too. If they refuse should get them and cabbages removed immediately. If both look tricky get local headman involved and get some paperwork saying they are trespassing on your land.

I know if there is a continuous perimeter fence and multiple dwellings (ie 2 tabien bahns) it counts as one ( I already asked).

On another dwelling I have 2 land titles and it is counted as 2. Which actually works well for me as one is business and one private (continuous perimeter). So I am inclined to say it is 2 but it is possible as the unused piece is garden of the first it is OK.

The reason I say this is : I know of a number of places where a "public waterway" ,which in some cases is nothing more than an underground pipe or small creek , has caused the supposedly one piece of land to be actually 2 chanots (as you cannot own the piece of land taken by the waterway). The best thing to do would be to ask at your local Tesabahn office that deals with the tax.

Either this is fake news or some people lead very sad lives!

Maybe they are just trying to overload the system ; keep the finger on the report button.

where in cm was this here in chiang moi road we felt nothing

Not far from you near Tapae. But it would depend exactly where you were ie upstairs/ on ground etc. and how aware you are. Most people around us felt nothing. I was in my office with the door open and felt the building move. Two trees outside the door, there was a clicking of leaves that you don't get with the wind.

Not as strong as the one on the Burmese border a few years ago.

Felt it in CM this morning. Had a feeling it wasn't a local one, they tend to be more abrupt or rolling. This one shook the building and caused leaves on the trees to "knock together".

From what I have heard, a lot of Chinese coming to Thailand for the international education. The ones I have spoke to said cheaper than China, but not sure where in China they came from.

Maybe happiness is actually not a state but rather the absence of melancholy ?

All the rumours I heard were of places with a type of show and lantern release. They seemed to think north of CM.

Interesting , so the rumours I have been hearing are turning out to be true ! Was there by any chance more than one of this type of event.

Section 39. Any person who is an insured person under section 33, has paid contribution for a period of not less than twelve months and, subsequently ceases to be insured person in pursuance of section 38(2)*, if such person wishes to continually be insured person, he or she shall, within six months from the date of his or her termination to be insured person, notify his or her statement to the Office according to the regulations prescribed by the Secretary – General.

 

*38 (2) cessation of being an employee.

 

Whatever you do, always check the the Social Security Office first as new subordinate regulations are issued from time to time. 

I remember an American friend being rejected and told she needed 13 months instead of the 12 months paid for on her year contract!

Don't quote me, but I heard it was 15 months you must work.

It used to be 13 months contributions. A lot of people used to get caught out as they pulled out at 12 months!!

Maybe it's incorrect, but I heard women did not have to take the oath since they are considered as adopting their husband's citizenship instead of changing their citizenship. 

That was the conclusion I reached too. Will have to see if it is true.

I thought everyone had to do the oath.

 

So did I, I think I will just wait and see on that. But the head police guy who did everything said no. Very confusing.

Haven't taken an oath. I was told after file sent to BKK then I just wait for my name to be announced.

How long does it take from the MoI interview these days until getting ID card?

So far 18 months since I passed interview and paperwork sent off to BKK. There was another round of successful female applicants announced just a few weeks ago, but I wasn't on it!

Can't say I miss the fire lanterns. This year has been the first in many that I haven't had to sprint down the soi with a very heavy fire extinguisher.

Don't advise a hose and water as most of the fires they start involve some kind of electrics.
