and if you are married and divorce the usufruct is nullified?

So are you saying that a 30 year lease registered at the land office is better? With evidence that taxes were paid when registering makes it set in stone as long as terms of the lease are adhered to?

Incorrect. PEA electric do not allow account in childs name. Water can do

so your daughter is above 18?

re your last sentence.... If I do that I cant have the PEA electric installed bc it cant be in a kids name. Water account can but electric not. So should I still go for it and just put solar panels on the roof?

how old was your thai daughter when you put that usufruct on?

Actually I dont think what you have been saying is factually correct despite the fact that a government officer told you what they did. If a lease is registered at the land office and taxes have been paid, then the landlord has to go to court to revoke it. ie if rent has not been paid or terms of the lease. This is the only way it can be revoked.

We basically purchased 2 areas of land owned by different familes (right next to each other) - of course different chanotes. My wife is ok about me taking a registered lease on one side of the land (allocated to me). We basically put half in each and shes ok with me having my land and hers. But Im wondering is it better to have a Usefruct not a 30 yr lease. What are the pros and cons of each. I wanted to put my designated land in my kids name but found out on another thread that its impossible to put PEA electric in a kids name. Its possible to put PWA water account in kids name but not electric. So unless I put solar panels I think I have to leave the land in the wifes name and either register a lease and pay taxes at the land office or put a usefruct instead. What do you recommend? thanks

Nightmare. Will avoid trips to Pattaya from now on

If you have lived in the area for so long can you recommend the best option closest to the university. We want the cleanest nicest option that is the closest thanks

Names please

Yes, that is correct. They told us that as well... put up temporary poles and connection. They said cannot put in childs name for sure. Only adult Water authority said it can be put in childs name...

I didnt know that. So one has to submit plans and have the approval. After this, one can apply for utilities ie before the house is built?

University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce thanks

If we were to change a chanote from my wifes name to my 10 yr old childs name, would the water PWA and electric PEA allow bills to be opened. We bought land that doesnt have a house on it. Just exploring options. thanks

Can I ask a question in relation to the list of docs required above? Item 11 says 'copy of proof of company registration for the commercial establishment where one works' My wife and I have a small medical business but we decided to not to have company structure. We operate the business through her personal name and she pays taxes every 6 months. I have a WP. Do you know if this is going to be an issue when I try and apply next year. Should I go to SB next time Im in bkk and ask them. If they say its mandatory then I suppose we can open a company this year but then its going to state the date of incorporation etc. If anyone knows about this technicality could you please help me thanks

If you are married to a thai its normal that the spouse has to sign docs to that effect in relation to the transfer at the land office. We just bought land and I had to sign as its all in my wifes name. In the future you should download google translate and click on the camera. Take a photo and you have automatic translations to English. Problem solved

Its been a long time since I took the ferry over to koh chang with my car. I seem to remember driving that road going past the airport and there being several signs for the ferrys. Which one is the best one to take my car over to the island. Do I buy return ticket whilst on the mainland? thanks

they say that but never check it.

please educate me for the reason for this?

Is the rule still 400k for 3 months in bank account for ext of stay based on marriage? If I were to not abide by this rule what happens then. Does it mean I will not be able to proceed with that ext of stay? Are immi depts flexible at all?

I was in HH recently. Noticed all the Swedes a bit full of themselves. My main gripe was that they always spoke Swedish language even when I was with them and when other westerners were around. I found them to be a bit arrogant. Or is this the wrong word? Ignorant a better option? Thoughts?

put it in the pink bank GSB. Govt' bank. Unlimited guarantee of deposit funds. The most secure bank in thailand. Rich thais put big money in this bank

surprised to read this. are they thai raised or raised abroad?

what about VT 6 next to the hiton? Number 1 location IMHO. Old rooms and old lifts but location is the best
