Sounds like the typical half-arsed approach. Very common. Works only as long as no one wants to create issues. Good luck fighting in court and argueing that the shares had already been transferred (but not registered with the gov) after the property was sold.

Drones from popular manufacturers like DJI already have support for avoiding restricted airspace so that issue has a workable solution. If people go out of their way to circumvent that then they are on their own and can face the consequences if it comes to it. But I don't understand what problem is being solved by a regulation that requires each individual to request permission to fly in a certain area each time and several days in advance. They are not asking for money. They are not trying to protect military bases etc. So what is the purpose?

So you travel around, encounter a nice place where you'd like to fly the drone, send a request and then wait 2 days for approval? How is that workable? Why approval to fly in a certain area needed? How about allowing to fly drones in every area that is not prohibited? Noone will follow these rules and just fly the drones as they are doing already.

I have used their chat service in English. This is what we've seen here in this thead.

I'll try to answer a few things. 1) To transfer shares the relevant forms have to be signed by the respective shareholders and directors and filed with the government usually by the secretary. If not filed with the government then no share transfer has taken place. In Thailand a lawyer can certify documents. 2) In most cases like yours you shouldn't be allowed to own 100% of the shares. If they'd allow it for a brief moment I'm not sure. 3) What the Managing Director can do depends on the bylaws of the company. You correctly identified one possible issue (amongst others): the shareholders can vote to change the MD. 4) That again depends on the companys bylaws. They could stipulate who succeeds the MD upon death. 5) If a shareholder dies normally the shares are inherited accordingly to the usual inheritence laws as they are private property. Again company bylaws might be able to specify other rules. 6) Voting rights are extremely important. In a usual company all shares have the same voting rights and so whoever holds the majority of shares holds also majority voting rights and therefor the ultimate control of the company. But it is possible to create different classes of shares with different amounts of voting rights. It is also possible to define special voting requirements not necessarily tied to shares in the company. Important: a foreigner can have minority ownership but majority voting rights. 7) I wouldn't want to say that one little change fixes everything. These situations can be a bit complicated and easy to mess up. 8 ) The court might also declare the lease agreement as illegal if they find the company was illegal in the first place because the lease was entered between you and the company. The whole thing needs to be done carefully and details matter. But in the end there is no 100% correct way. The intend of the law is to not let you own land. Anything you try to circumvent that might work or not. It's a gamble but you have some influence on your odds.

Sure colors get distorted in night pictures but there's plenty of light shining directly onto them in the other pictures of the article and one can see other colors like shirts etc. Unless they also both got bronze wheel covers and a paintjob that from various angels and light intensities look grey, I'm pretty sure both are silver.

Bronze Civic vs bronze Benz? Neither looks bronze to me. Did someone mix up their precious metals?

Why? I was able to get through to a real person and so have others. Costs you a minute to try yourself. I think it's a bigger waste of time to not try and post about it being a waste of time ????

Type in "customer agent" or some such. And try during normal working hours.

I just follow the foreign press when it comes to new models. Intermot and EICMA coming up soon. For reviews I turn to Youtube to get a general feel. Then check if available in Thailand via manufacturers website and see if test ride possible.

I've had a good experience with 29 Tire in BKK. Good prices, friendly folks and proper mounting and balancing. Owner speaks english well and is a petrolhead. Hit them up and ask for a recommendation. As papa said, hard to find really bad tires these days from most manufacturers. Edit: seems like posting links to Maps is broken. But I'm sure you will find them yourself.

Once the restaurant accepts the order the buyer can't cancel it anymore. Grab implemented that exactly for this reason. A few riders asked me to cancel so their own score doesn't suffer but it's not possible anymore. PS: AseanNow is becoming more and more a bickering fest ????

Grab has a Priority Order option which costs 10 Baht iirc. If they don't deliver or it takes too long then you get a voucher. Forgot how much. 25 or 50 Baht or something like that. Try it. Either they deliver and paying 10 baht for rain delivery is more than fair or you get a voucher at least. Last time it rained using the option did the trick for me.

It is not really legal. Using nominees to circumvent land ownership restrictions is illegal. I'd call it pseudo-legal because on first glance it looks legal. Normally yes but there are exceptions. That was already mentioned in this thread. Absolutely! He is putting himself up for a huge risk to lose the property. Happened a million times. Trusting people you don't even know with the ownership of your house? Recipe for disaster. To the OP: please please double triple please make sure you have the majority voting rights in the company at least. And give yourself a 30 year lease on top. At least you are somewhat safer then.

That is not correct. Some companies have 0% Thai ownership and some 100% or anything in between. Under normal circumstances the majority has to be owned by Thai citizens but there are a bunch of exceptions. Most common ones are via BOI regulations. Treaty of Amity was also mentioned (though those can't own land). But you wont see that for a fake company whose only purpose it is to circumvent land ownership restrictions. If push comes to shove then courts might decide the legal structure mentioned by the OP is illegal and worth nothing. I hope the OP has at least majority voting rights and a proper set of bylaws. Somehow I fear that might not be the case.

What you posted are the Eastern Arabic Numerals. "20" is using the Western Arabic Numerals. They share the same origin. And yes, the 20 in your image seems incorrect.

Where it says "20".

Yup go to the Cops as they requested. Maybe they'll do something if you follow their process?

Sent a CBR500R for less than 5k via Thai Post from Phuket to BKK. Delivery to the door (not post office). Bike was in BKK within 3 days but spent there 2 days before being delivered. Service at the post office was top notch. Prices for bikes over 400cc are higher.

Funny you say that. I've been spending hours the past days finding some proper products on Amazon the past days because of all the <deleted> sellers with fake reviews that Amazon is flooded with nowerdays. It's not outright scams but it became really difficult to find good quality stuff sometimes. Clearly Amazon has a lot of issues themselves. But the same situation like described in this topic can't even arise there because they don't have COD with the seller sending himself so can't compare.

Yea it's pretty bad. Let's not make it worse though ???? Black concrete tiled roof? I hope not ???? That must be a heat disaster. It depends on the exact roof setup but normally there'll be a metal mounting structure connected under the tiles. Worrying about leaks is very smart as that can indeed happen if some random dude installs the stuff without much knowledge and drills through the tiles or whatever. Best to get a professional to do it. The solar panels will indeed reduce the heat on the roof. Can't tell you how much though. It'll be a few degrees I'm sure. It's comparable to having some shading as the panels don't transfer too much of the heat through to the roof due to the air space between them and the tiles where air can flow through.

Well done, looks like a good setup. and you hit the nail on the head! The approval, paperwork is and unreasonably high install costs are the main issue. If that part was easier then there'd be zero reason the costs for installation would be so high. It's a one day job for 3 guys which costs let's be generous 5k including travel costs etc. Make it 10k for some profit. People would jump on a deal like that. But not if install costs 50k+ and is a months long headache.

How do you know they are completely safe? Just because they didn't burn down your house so far doesn't mean they are OK. And even if your specific ones are engineered well doesn't mean a random other one on Lazada is. The requirements for approval were not thought of because the agencies have so much fun doing that. They are there for very good reasons. A lot of other electrical equipment has to also follow TIS regulations. A professional electrician is not there to just plug things in. You are being disingenuous. We are talking about setting up a solar system. More is needed than ordering some stuff on Lazada and plugging it in. How about making sure there's no fire hazard? What about proper grounding? What about safety equipment like RCBs? As for your last suggestion: what exactly is misinformation? I didn't claim something on Lazada *is* dangerous, I said requirements for using approved equipment is the right thing to do. Maybe the el-cheapo stuff is fine. That's the issue though, nobody did proper testing so you can't claim it's safe. Who knows. But getting rid of all the requirements and turning it into a electrical free for all is pretty much guaranteed to cause someones life or at least burn down a few places. And there's really zero reason to go to these extremes. If the paperwork is easy and fast and clear rules set out then there'll be cheap enough solutions and adoption could be extremely wide-spread. No reason to sacrifice safety for a few more Baht.

The paperwork needs to be reduced and sped up, the feed-in tariff needs to be increased. But getting rid of the requirement to use approved equipment and a professional electrician is a terrible idea. Using the absolute cheapest chinese stuff one can find on Lazada is a recipe for dead people if everything is connected to the grid. There are certain safety requirements that are there for very good reasons. And the approved equipment is still pretty cheap. Payback in more or less 5 years is reasonable enough. For a good quality panel calculate about 10 Baht per Watt. A 3.3kW inverter can be had for 12k THB that is 3.6 Baht per Watt. Installation, mounting etc can probably be had for 30k or less. So now we have a 3.3kW system for something like 45-50k THB. For the cost of less than a Honda Click we could have a quality system that easily covers the energy needs of most households.
