Wrong, people just want to bash anything implemented that they don't like. -

Quite, people should look at the taxes imposed by Heathrow before mouthing off. But then this forum thinks everything should be done to suit them. -
Why?. Google is quite friendly, look up the court case.

More changes. Compulsory health insurance now not required
sandyf replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Compulsory health insurance now not required A deliberate distortion to imply everyone, which you obviously want to support. Have to admit the recycled media articles on here are pretty good at winding people up. -
"Aren't AirBnB landlords who rent properties for periods less than one month supposed to have a proper hotel license under Thai law? " No - Nothing to do with the time, hotel license is based on number of rooms, I think 4. "Isn't it against some condo rules for a landlord to rent rooms out for a period of less than a month? " No - The court ruled that when it came to condos, the number of rooms in respect of the hotel licence requirement was to be taken as the total number of rooms in the facility. In other words the owner of one condo would require a license. "How does AirBnb enforce these regulations? " De-listing and legal action for breach of contract. "If a landlord refuses to file a TM-30 on behalf of their tenant which is required by Thai law if the tenant is a foreigner, how does AirBnB enforce compliance?" I am not going to go back over it but I seem to remember following the court case AirBnB made a statement to the effect that TM30s would be available at check in. I appreciate that when something goes wrong at check in it can be problematic. I had an issue checking in to a place in Vietnam and got the T shirt. At the end of the day the renter has a contract with AirBnB and they have an obligation to satisfy that contract.

If you want to believe distorted media articles that is entirely up to you. As for knee jerking, you need to broaden your horizons. -
Why should the behaviour of some landlords make AirBnB illegal, an idea that many on this forum wish to promote. Landlords have a legal obligation to AirBnB to abide by local legal requirements, not the renter. If there is a problem it is up to AirBnB to deal with it. If renters are concerned about TM30 or any other legal issue they should request confirmation from AirBnb before making the booking. Renters have no grounds to challenge landlords, their agreement is with AirBnB.

There is no question over the legal status of AirBnB booking. It is a myth put about by discontented condo owners. They take the view that if one barman was watering down the beer, then every bar must be breaking the law.

Same here, I get them from Siamburi. Villa Market used to have Heinz but you had to visit the ATM first.

I transferred the funds monthly from HSBC and when I came to do the extension I downloaded the remittance advice for each transfer from my HSBC account and it wasn't a problem. I had the 12 month statement from the bank and I actually saw the IO go through all the advice notes and tick them off against the statement.

How misinformed is that. Prior to the pandemic there was significant attempts to control the spread of the disease with government mobile units going around providing free vaccination. We have a about 60 cats and around 10 dogs and they visited regularly, gratitude is the word you should have used, not anger.

Travel insurance warning after Welshman's motorbike crash
sandyf replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Irrelevant if the problem was duration. I had annual policies for many years and cover for any single trip varied. I had cover for 90 days but 42 or 45 was much more common, with some as low as 30 days. Normally you get what you pay for but buying insurance from a bank would probably mean high price for low cover. -

Ill informed statements. Problem was duration of cover. -
3 Month Bank statement for Immigration
sandyf replied to MJCM's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Didn't work for me. The letter and statement were from the same day but the last transaction was the day before. They sent me to the bank to do another transaction so then the letter and statement balances didn't tie up with the bank book, but that was ok.
