Good double glazed windows & a wall not just made of a skinny little red brick with rendering on both sides may help. If hotel is on a seriously busy main road what was the architect/consultant thinking ?

Still begs the old question of Thai customs How did they get in ???

Having owned 2 successful bars for over 24 years in Bangers, I note the following for discussion Any owner who does not register their premises, get a business licence, a liquor & cigarette licence & maintain these & pay every year in early January is just plain brain dead.. Cost : Maximum 3,000 Bht for all. Without "late closing" we would not have done anywhere as well, as many sports go well beyond. Yes, we paid the piper a reasonable commission but not stupid money & worth it. They would visit & buy drinks & lady drinks more often than I expected. Endgame: Most well run bars can & have stayed open as & when required without too many hassles & the odd time the "message from above" came down that the big boys visiting we would close on time. In 22 years only had to bring in BIB 2 times for idiots In actuality not required to open until 4am, & most will not except for nightclubs & special nights & 5 years ago they opened until very late anyway. Ban the street bars with no control, aircon, toilets nor licences, they are & always have been a bloody nuisance & pay no tax nor dues. Will 2 extra hours help Thailand, in actuality just a little bit, The conception & advertising aspect may attract a few more, but do we want them ?

"There is more to this" Really, when they start brandishing baseball bats U bet your life it is more than overstay

Let the games begin

And they really believe it

They all do it. The trick is the smarter ones don't get caught

Better than the aircraft carrier deal anyway.

I would be inclined to use a fogger & spray around the perimeter You can control inside the property by ensuring no standing still water. The fog needs spraying every 8 days unless it rains, then need to redo.

Fully insured,,,, maybe Jewish lightening (or saying that at present not allowed ?)

We may need another round of "commissions before anything can be inked

VAT does not collect as much as you think.eg: If I buy for 80 Bht & sell for 100 Bht I pay VAT only on the 20 Bht margin Ie: 20 Bht. If VAT was 10% that would only be 2 Bht. If you wanna see where big money comes into Government have a look at what the breweries & spirit manufacturers pay in excise, importers of spirits & fags, & even road tax receipts

Sucked in ?

If you look at history (forgetting modern history where it is a money making business) Most wars are all about religion. Just BAN ALL religions !!

Hardly need grow lights here. It grows like a weed & I live in the cooler area.

Here we go again, shut the door after the horse has bolted. How long will this discussion last,,,,,,2 weeks ?

Very sad & maybe as already stated no excuse but this is Thailand where cautious driving is just not the norm & very surprised that fully grown Thai men would (take the risk) to go cycling on public roads in the dark after sunset or before sunrise in particular in groups possibly two abreast. You just have to knew that you are at the least pushing your luck

Agoda (apartments) Can u handle that?

I do know that the Thai Embassy in Jakarta have some very helpful people aboard. They have assisted me on numerous occasions with a genuine desire to help.

Meanwhile the 2024 unbalanced budget with so called "stimulus packages " Government spending stupidly high with a waft of the wand saying private sector needs to raise this money that we spend. And folks will be surprised with a massive blowout deficit ??? Getting totally crazy !!

As many other Thai islands building it is the easy part. Operating & maintaining it is another. There are many plants on islands just sitting there totally neglected including two I know of donated by the French Embassy

Short answer to your question is YOU. I know of 2 condo owners who had to replace ceilings in units below & lucky little other water damage. Ensure have drainers in kitchen & turn water off when away for any length of time in case of a pipe bursting

Just in case you have not tried, I had bad migraines for many years with the whole box & dice, vomiting, dizzy, horrific headache, needed a dark suffer room for 24 hours etc. Went for a consultation with a forward thinking Dr & ended up having 3 sessions on a body stretching machine 4 days apart. Last 2 days extended stretch & all sorts of cracking in my upper back & neck. Never had a migraine since (26 years)

We all know that the whole thing is one big pyramid system with a vacumn cleaner at all levels
