In Western countries it is given to boys over the age of 9 because men get HPV related cancer of the penis and throat regardless of being straight, gay or trans.

Options to renew a 30 year lease are perfectly legal. The problem with them is that the Land Code only allows a lease of a maximum of 30 years to be recorded on the title deed and only leases that are on the title deed can be enforced by a court. That doesn't mean you can't sue the land owner for reneging on the options to renew but you cannot get a court order for the new lease to be recorded on the title deed and to evict anyone installed in the property by the land owner after the first lease has expired. But the owner could get a court order to evict you, once the first lease has expired. You could sue for financial damages though which would require an assessment of the financial damage incurred through the owner's refusal to agreed to a renewed lease at whatever price was in your agreement which may have been zero or a token amount, since all is paid upfront. That would mean suing for the cost of leasing another property for another 30 years. Other problems would be: 1) If the owner was a company, it might have gone bust or been dissolved 30 years after the original lease was signed. Even if still in existence, it might not have enough assets to pay the compensation ordered by the court and the process of enforcing seizures and auctioning seized assets is long and painful, even if you got a favorable court ruling. 2) The original owner, if an individual, may be dead and his or her heirs will not be bound by the option to renew agreement because they were not the parties who signed it. 3) The original owner, whether a company or an individual may have sold or otherwise reassigned the land. In this case the new owners are not bound by the option agreement. You can only sue the party that signed the agreement, if they still exist. So basically these options to renew, while perfectly legal, are not worth the paper they are written on and are a complete and utter con by developers, agents and lawyers.

I wonder how many get through with huge quantities stuffed in suitcases. Personal belongings must have been carried only in carry on bags. Fairly fresh weed has a very strong smell and dogs, even new trainees, would easily pick up that sort of quantity even if carefully packed up. The Thai authorities were probably tipped off anyway.

They definitely had enough to get suspended in Singapore. Lucky the Thais arrested them rather than let the Singaporeans get them.

Good luck in getting assistance from British Embassy or David Lammy. The latter is too busy figuring out how to brown nose Donald Trump after slagging him off repeatedly before he was re-elected.

That what lawyers do here. The missus took someone to court upcountry for land encroachment because they sold her their agricultural land and leased it back from her but stopped paying the rent and refused to vacate it or let the wife's new tenants work the land. She was countersued with a complete cock and bull story made up by a lawyer accusing her of being a loan shark but unsupported by any hard evidence. Luckily the judges didn't believe any of it and ordered the family to either start paying rent or vacate the land within 6 months.

Send him back to Switzerland with the dogs. I am sure Swiss police will deal with him more promptly than their useless, corrupt Thai counterparts.

Thai workers will be needed to build giant sized golden statues of Donald Trump iall over Gaza according to the blueprint I saw on video.

If you want peace and quiet the most perfect place to buy a condo is right in the middle of a red light district. I don't see how the cannabis is a problem for other residents or even how they know its there, unless they go into the units in question. Seems to be always used as an provable allegation in these condo rental accusations.

Yes. It is totally antiquated at the Land Dept with those ancient title deeds falling to pieces with many supplementary pages stapled on to accommodate loads of transfers. Lots of fraud takes place, including production of fake deeds for forest reserve land, much of it done by Land Dept officials.

There is an exact equivalent of a sole trader in Thailand. Not easy for a foreigner to do but the OP's wife could do it, if there were any advantage. Thais can just do any business, as long as it doesn't require a license, in their own name. Examples would be trading goods or operating or renting out a house or condo by the month or longer. There are licensing requirements for a hotel or guest house but this can still be done by a sole trader. You file a PND 90 tax return in your own name. Americans can operate sole trader businesses or partnerships under the Treaty of Amity and Economic Relations which allows them to operate any business structure that Thais can use but they need to apply for an alien business license. Non-Americans can theoretically get a WP as a sole trader because it is not specified in the law that the employer must be a limited company but Immigration and/or your local Labour office may not be willing to support this. Normally a limited company is the best choice, if you want a WP. Under the current Thai regime you can probably avoid filing for Thai tax on your UK business, apart from income earned from it that you remit to Thailand. Technically, if you are doing the work from Thailand, the income you earn from it is Thai taxable and you need a WP to do it. But in practical terms you wouldn't get a WP to run a sole trader business in the UK from Thailand. So it is probably better not to file for tax for work done that you don't have a WP for, as you may be creating the evidence for prosecution for working without a WP. A DTV visa should get you round the WP requirement but you would technically have to file for Thai tax on your income but you can claim double tax treaty relief on the UK tax. I think another option is just to get a spouse visa and don't mention you are working, since you are just quietly doing that at home. Then you are just liable for Thai tax on income remitted to Thailand, also subject to double tax relief.

Sounds like they only arrested them for overstaying, as they didn't catch them with any illegal dope. They will just be deported, if there is insufficient evidence against them.

The plod on the islands used to make a boat load of cash from importing and dealing in ganja. Busting their backpacker customers, shaking them down and reselling the dope. Legalisation deprived them of a hugely lucrative line. The new legit dealers who have taken away their business can't really expect the plod to get upset, if foreigners nick one jar of weed.

Buses are cheap in Thailand. Same price to males with long jihadi beards. He could try the old scam of getting an attractive girl to flag down trucks while he hides in the ditch or behind a tree and jumping out as the vehicle stopped. I was caught by that one in England once. 555

The law is, in fact, the same law that prohibits smoking tobacco or anything else in a public place, if it is causing a nuisance to anyone. You have to make the complaint that it caused a nuisance to you for police to take action. There is no specific law that prohibits smoking cannabis in a public place, despite assertions by police and government officials to the contrary. They say that just to scare people but cannot cite a cannabis specific law.

Also hard to imagine Yingluck in a cell and having her knuckles broken by a dyke warder's billy club.

Suspicion grew when Ian did not visit for two years...

Ceaușescu-style means opening fire on full auto while your colleague is still positioning them against the wall and thus shooting your colleague in the arm. Lucky he wasn't executed. But some in the firing squad felt remorseful and committed suicide. Indonesia executes by firing squad but not very efficiently according to a foreign priest who was permitted to minister to some foreign condemned men a few years ago. He said a Nigerian prisoner was groaning in pain after the volley and needed a coup de grace in the head from the firing squad commander. It stands to reason that is quite common with firing squads using single shots. The shooters don't want to be there and are going to be shaky and are standing up and firing fire hand using iron sights from maybe 20 metres, Most soldiers are not good shots and many people could miss a heart sized target even under normal circumstances. Some soldiers may deliberately aim wide to let their colleagues be the killers. The Ceascescus looked like they were dead before they hit the ground in the video. I think it is the botched Indonesian style that you want for these pedos.

Fly to a country where you can legally buy as much weed as you can handle. Why bring in this stuff?

Seems like the problem is not targeting of foreigners but regulations that effect everyone opening a bank account due to the call centre scam problem where people are paid to open bank accounts to be used by scamsters. In addition the masterminds behind most of the call centres and many of the workers are foreigners, mainly Chinese. So it makes sense to be more strict about the type of visas foreigners have. I have been harassed by a call centre which was set up to sound exactly like a Thai police station. They had all my personal details - full name, phone number, address, ID number, obviously sold to them by a Thai government department, mobile phone operator or other business. Call centres are scary stuff that scam people out of billions of dollars and abduct people to work in them involuntarily. Tough measures are required to deal with them.

The longer he stays intubated in a hospital in HH with doctors who have no idea what is wrong, the greater the chance he will be a vegetable, if he survives at all. First step is to get him to a more sophisticated hospital in Bkk. I have been to that hospital in HH. It is very small and they obviously don't have specialists in rare infectious diseases. Obviously taking out inexpensive medical insurance for a short holiday before leaving the UK would have put him and his family in a much better position.

Time to come and confiscate all these villas illegally owned by foreigners and auction off cheap to Thais to rent them out to the original owners. I remember the 2006 coup government said they would confiscate all the foreign owned resort land but they didn't stay in office long enough. Maybe one day it will happen.

Unlikely. They would need to make an announcement expeditiously cancelling or modifying the announcements made in 2023. Seeing as some people have already filed their 2024 taxes and paid the tax on remitted investments, I can't see them doing that at this late stage.

Don't think they can introduce the type of changes he suggested without an amendment to Section 40 of the Revenue Code. The 2023 reinterpretation of part of Section 40 via a Revenue Dept order only binding on RD staff is flimsy anyway and might not stand up to a challenge in the Tax Court. So they really need to amend it through the statutory three readings in parliament to safeguard the principle of taxation of remitted income and introduce some exemptions for investment. My concern is that the RD has already drafted an amendment to Section 40 in order to introduce global taxation for Thai residents. So they might introduce global taxation at the same at the same time as making some exemptions for investment, again spinning the lie that this is required by the OECD which couldn't car less about domestic PIT structures.
