Naughty neighbours
Pmbkk replied to djlest's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
You actually bought it knowing the state - very, very risky(stupid). Looking at those pics it's going to be very expensive for them to undo what has been done and a big inconvenience. You may have issues as the neighbours could say it was agreed with the previous owner. I assume you have a good copy of the deeds re plot size etc, who owns the walls & exact measurements as without I don't see any sort of favourable outcome for you. If it's too good to be true - it probably is.... -
Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya...best options
Pmbkk replied to NZAMBOY's topic in Suvarnabhumi Airport Forum
There was a company with Lady drivers who didn't think they were Lewis Hamilton - I was meant to have written it down from a previous thread but can't find it now. Seemed a very reasonable price. I'm sure someone will be along to add the contact details ( and I'll record it this time ) ???? -
Ten million baht damage assessment at Rama 2 fire last night

That road is a nightmare at the best of times - it's the truck freeway ! -
You're seriously going to get married to override an insurance issue ???? We got married in Bangkok and the whole thing took less than 30 mins - but we had been together for 5 years and we had planned it ahead of time with all the docs to hand ???? Good luck - I'd take 10 and see whether this is the best solution to the problem or there were alternatives.

I rent out some of my personal Condos, I've hardly ever kept any deposit - even when I should. Most people tend to renew so I take that into consideration. We did rent a condo for 6 months as ours were rented - and even though we returned it in better condition than we got it the landlady was refusing to return the deposit. We spoke to the agent and got our full deposit back. Re the contract - check your get out clauses, when the landlord can ask you to leave and what notice you need to give as circumstances change. In my experience in Thailand they are usually fixed length(12 months) - I offer an option of notice period to both parties and penalties either party would incur. I also ask for 2 months deposit which again in my experience is pretty standard and covers me if someone doesn't pay the rent within 15 days.

Don't Thai ladies like shopping - you'll just be buying it and stocking it up with more of what you don't need until it's full(it's on sale) - and it'll stay there forever. Maybe then buy another once full as you have space. Running costs will be higher than bulk buying savings for a small family. Shopping trips won't diminish - and sometimes they're nice to get out of the house as a family ????

Isn’t Bangkok now a renter’s market?
Pmbkk replied to webfact's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
We've just finished renovating our 3 bed rental apt. It's above an international school and is 50/50% split between private and serviced apts. My wife spoke to the maintenance guy this morning and he was telling her that they've started renovating their serviced apartments as they're expecting a large increase in demand as the country opens it's borders. They're increasing their serviced apartment costs by 10% - and this is a popular condo in the heart of Bangkok so they obv' expect to rent them. -
I used to have a team of consultants working for me. One Irish guy was desperate for a posting to Jo-burg. I sorted one out - a few days after he got there he phoned me up in a panic. Someone had put a few bullets in his hire car as he was driving through a park. He wanted out asap - I told him to go back to the hotel, go to the airport and get on the next flight to LHR. My best mate's brother runs gold mines ( his wife is SA ) lives in a huge house which each area gets locked down as they go to bed - security guards outside. He used to come over to get Oxon graduates. One trip his driver dropped him off at the airport and he was shot on the way back to his house. When I did a bit of consultancy there, I didn't think the driving was anywhere near as bad as Thailand - but the risks were greater. ????

I think you'll find that the world over... If I go to Brighton on a bank holiday/Saturday even the Travelodge can cost me £240 - room only for a basic room. I don't think you can blame that on Thai's alone ????

I think you missed the point - stay off the whisky. He's comparing the US to Thailand - and I'm doing the same with Switzerland currency The dollars he gets in change in the US won't help him in his local Thai 7-11 either You like to make your statements like you're a cowboy - looks like you shot yourself in the foot !

Have you tried asking the Thai British consulate - I believe they have an ID on here

Tenants Rights 2018 amendment to law
Pmbkk replied to Pouatchee's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Contact the source and post the link/law... I believe there are many points in that link that are not true/implemented. You sign a contract from date x to date y under certain conditions. A tenant can move out with 30 days notice and many more in that after a contract has been signed - I'd be surprised. I don't know of any agent that specifies those in their contracts - and I rent out some personal condos. I would pursue getting this new law - even if it;s in Thai and post it. You'll have stacks of people giving 30 days notice, expecting their deposit back in 7 days - and if not off to the court.... -
