Great. But Australia has just secured an order for 25 million doses. Expected delivery? End of 2021 and into 2022. Thailand meanwhile hasn't even secured an order so the chances of it being here anytime this year are zero.

Wow! After all western countries has approved this vaccine for months already:) Anyway Thailand will make their own vaccine, as we all have heard. And anyway, a bit of ginger cures Covid anyways.

What documents did you show? Tax returns? Nothing?

 

Was this Bangkok?

 

Do you have anyone to contact on this? Using local savings from employment. Thanks

Only doc. I had to show was the work permit. Developer handled it all, I had no interaction with the land office myself, I paid the money to the developer and got the chanote from developer, never visited the land office myself. This was in Sattahip in about 2010. Maybe rules have changed since.

The Condo Act has nothing to do with the buying/selling a condo.

The main issue is this.

The "Land Department" is the main issue.

Meaning if you can't prove that the full amount for the condo comes from your

home country, then the Land Department won't issue you the Title Deed (chanote)".

The oversea bank transfer to buy the condo must be in your name and must state

the name and unit of the condo -as stated in your Sales & Purchase Agreement (S &P).

The "Land Dept" and the "Title Deed (chanote) is the main issue. Please take note.

And where is the Thai Law stating this? As a side note; I bought my condo with locally earned money. I have the chanote.

Do anyone know where this requirement about funds originating from abroad comes from? There is nothing in the condominium act about this, so where in the Thai Law does it come from?

I got a FedeX from the US right on time few weeks ago, and then after I received it, I got an e-mail from FedeX saying that my address is incomplete so they can't deliver it, need to correct the address.

I think they have a problem with the tracking system, delivery works fine but tracking doesn't. Same happened with a package from china, It was delivered to me, and then I checked the tracking site and it said it was still in custom clearance in China:)

One time I ordered something from Lasada that, according the tracking site, kept moving between a collection center in Prachuap Kiri Kan and Bangkok for a week, and then I received it at my home, far from where it supposedly was jumping back and forth:)

I am sorry to hear this....It sounds like you work with people who have some unreasonable fear issues....

Fear from Covid maybe? Anyway these are measures enforced by the company. We have spread out departments over physically separated offices, for example an operations department will be spread out over 5 different offices, each office with a different color code. If a person in that color code gets tested positive, everyone in that color code is quarantined, that way, there will still be people in the department able to work who have another color code. We have changed from finger scan check-in to face recognition check-in. Temp check at arrival in the morning and mandatory hand sanitizing. No physical meetings, all meetings over Zoom, even when office is just next door. We are not allowed to physically visit another color code area without special (difficult) permission from safety department. Nobody from outside allowed in. This is our routine since March 2020.

And how many of those provinces will people adhere to these rules?

Where I live, everyone wears a mask, even long before it became mandatory. Even at my work everyone wears a mask, even when they sit alone at their own desk or private office room.

I would recommend you make a detailed design first, It will do all the job for you when it comes to estimating the costs. I and my friend made a detailed design for his house few years back. With the detailed design, we were able to specify exactly how much rebar, concrete, steel for roof, tiling, bricks we needed for the project, and the as-built was spot on the design. No surprise extra costs. Every single rebar was designed and pre-fabricated in a workshop, delivered to site and installed without a hitch. If you have the exact details about all material needed, nobody can stiff you on the costs.

You will need a basic design anyway for the land office. And I agree with 1FinickyOne above totally.

First, vaccine from China. Now, vaccine from Russia. Do Iran and North Korea have a vaccine?

Maybe Cuba, which is a highly reliable international partner, have some vaccine for sale?

The 2nd hand dealer will make an offer based on the condition of the car. If repainting is needed, of course the offer will be lower, reflecting the fact they will have to spend money repainting. The lower offer because of poor paint will probably be more than the money you spend on painting. They will then spend far less on actually painting, doing a <deleted> job just to be able to sell, nobody buys a car with paint problems, given there are so many second hand cars to choose amongst. The 2nd hand dealer always give a terrible offer anyways. A Ford that is 11 years old will be worth almost nothing.

I would repaint and try to find a private buyer, however, that is pretty difficult.

All the beaches and restaurants down in Sattahip closed on Friday last week (April 16).

Why do they need human trials? It's just a copy of the already developed and trialed Chinese vaccine.

Noble Price indeed....but definitely NOT the Nobel Prize!  

How many have you had today?

Come on man! the Nobel Prize is kinda Nobel:) (Note the second misplelling is intentionel).

As for the chairman making the manager leave and putting another management team in place, that can only happen through a vote in the AGM, as is clearly stated in the Condominium Act. The AGM has to vote for the manager or management company. I do not see how the land office could have approved of the AGM agenda with such a blatant violation of the condominium act.

I am sure to have read in the Condominium Act that it would be illegal to restrict the common area to a certain number of people

I am also a committee member in a condominium. I can't fathom how the chairman was able to purchase part of the common area. That can only happen with a vote in an AGM, where the co-owners vote in favor of such a thing. In our condo that would never happen, so I don't understand how the Chairman could convince the majority of co-owners to agree to such a crazy thing. That being said, If the chairman is indeed the lawful owner of the path leading to the pool, this is no longer common area and he has all rights to prevent anyone from using this area for any purpose, unless there is a voted agreement in an AGM that clearly states that co-owners have access to this area in any way and time. 

By the way, the chairman is not allowed to make major modifications of his units without the approval of manager. If the changes are significant and may be a nuisance for other co-owners, it must be brought up in an AGM and voted on. Manager should stop any contractors from entering the building.

For the case where co-owners store stuff in corridors, unfortunately, in practice there is nothing you can do, other than making life difficult for the owner, such as making it difficult to access common area and such. In theory the Condominium act allows for punitive measures, but how do you in practice enact those measures without braking the civil or criminal law?

If anyone can recommend an app that does a similar job to Bitdefender, but without the impact on performance, I'd give it a try.

I've been using Avast since they started in the 1990's. Then they were the only one providing antivirus for 64 bit systems. (Windows provided a free 64bit OS for download back then, beta of course but worked perfectly). So I use it for all my systems, desktop, laptop, and my Android. Very un-intrusive. They keep popping up warnings that invites you to buy additional security features now and then, but I just ignore that, otherwise it works fine. Be aware about CPU monitors, most mobile devices nowadays have multiple CPUs, the cheaper having at least two CPUs, one with extremely low power consumption for routine simpler tasks and another for high demand apps. 

On the other hand, an Android 6 device is trash, just throw it away and buy any cheap device from any brand with at least Android 9 and you will be better of, no matter the quality of the phone you buy.

This is extremely groundbreaking research, very important. The researchers who conducted it should receive the Noble Price.

When I was a kid we had those yellow books that we had to keep with our passports that listed all the vaccinations the holder of the book has received. The yellow book was required to present together with the passport at immigration entry counters.
