    Investing 40 M For Land And House - Question

    in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership

    Posted

    If you are seriously thinking of investing that kind of money in order to own land in Thailand I would start by looking at what that kind of money would give you in returns on the international market.

    You might be very much better advised to invest your 40million off shore and use the income to support your life in Thailand.

    There are other options for holding land in Thailand, Lease and Usufruct being two very good options for Foreigners and they don't limit you to 1 Rai.

    If like most of us you go ahead and develop your 1 Rai with a house, say costing Bht5million your investment in Thailand climbs to nearer Bht50million

    That's 40 for your investment, 5 for your development and perhaps another 5 for the land you buy.

    I'm assuming that if you have that kind of money you're looking for a nice plot in a nice neighbourhood, not the cheapest plot going regardless of location.

    40 million is a hel_l of a lot of money to bring to Thailand in order to have the 'privilage' of investing a further 10 million.

    Another good post GH...

    To the OP...are you nuts? :o

    Thai Justice

    Getting away with murder, A least its not a one way street. Murder is a terrible thing which no one deserves. Yet through out each year here in Pattaya many farangs are murdered, often with no one ever being charged or convicted.

    It seems it is not just the Thais getting away with murder….

    Correct...and interesting take on things...

    But two wrong's don't make a right... :o

    I'm sure there's enough people in their 30/40/50's who holiday on the Island who would go...

    As suggested, definitely get Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, one of the 5* hotels, and TAT to chip in and you've cracked it... :D

    God, if that that t**t Sven can get free publicity in the UK papers for "buying" a place...I'm sure something similar could be "arranged"...some sort of "advertorial" for a few well-placed music/travel hacks...

    And after the Katherine Horton murder last year I'm sure Samui needs all the good publicity it can get... :o

    What Job Options Are There?

    After 5 years of work in Bkk, I can only agree with Pedro. Appart, well, in general people are nice, but yes, try to speak with a secretary in the BTS at 7 pm when come back home after work, she will react like a secreatary in USA or europe at the same moment ... Well as she is thai she will smile, but fact she will also think ...

    The dream about the work online and earn money as proposed by girlx is a great , very great ... dream.

    In work online yopu have the word work. To generate revenue by internet it need as for any work lot of energy, self dedication , entrpeneurial sense and the most of all, you have to be able to put yourself at your office (read in front of the puter) during the same amount of time as if you were in an office. Also, the rules on internet is : the only people who earn regualry money are the technies (mean people who run servers and host your site) or people like I who are developper maintener or installer. People like you need people like us and by so you have to pay us. But do not be so sure clients are waiting for you ... If yo uhave an idea, be assured at least 1 000 person got it BEFORE you. And if by miracle you can find a new niche , be also assured 10 000 others will run to fill that niche.

    thailand is one of the best (maybe the best) places where people from west can go. But for the work, it have to be consdered as any other places (work is work, business is business) with the additional disadvantage (comparable in that to the French Riviera or Los Angeles or Gold Coast or any other hot spot) to attract more qualified people that is needed.

    On the other hand, it's almost 5 years I went here with almost nothing, I found a job 2 days after I landed, I quitted, decided to work as freelance and I am still still here. you just have to be strong, bold, to not fall in your own weakness (thailand is great to show us our weaknesses), and you can be okie.

    And your line of business is?

    Rate For Photographer Job?

    As for the work permit, I'm pretty much in the same position, as it is not possible to be employed as a photographer in Thailand ( Royal Decree or something ), so you would need an alternative title.

    Who told you that??!@@

    I have a work permit as a photographer, had it for 2 years now. Never heard this one before.

    The Alien Business Law clearly states under section B 4 that it's prohibited:

    Everyone on this board has been there... :D

    You're lucky you've got a trade which I imagine opens up a few job opportunities...But this, FWIW is my advice...

    Firstly, I'd take a few months extended "holiday"...maybe it'll get it out of your system...If not, I seriously suggest what a lot of guys do...work abroad on short contracts and then live in LOS...3 months on 3 months off... Work is work...but earning baht ain't the same as earning £'s $'s or €'s ....

    I can't imagine living in LOS on schoolteacher money... :D

    Remember if you decide to come...What do you want? A long holiday? The women? What is your real motivation? Be honest with yourself... :D

    Because it probably isn't going to be for the money... :D

    Good luck in whatever you do... :o

    Blackmailing Foreigner Caught Out

    in Pattaya

    Posted

    The reason why he is in trouble is because what he did contravened Section 34 of the Thai Constitution law which states:

    "A person's family rights, dignity, reputation or his right to privacy shall be protected. The assertion or circulation of a statement or picture in any manner whatsoever to the public, which violates or affects a person's family rights, dignity, reputation or the right of privacy, shall not be made except for the case which is beneficial to the public."

    Maybe he thought it was beneficial to the public to name and shame her but the Thai authorities clearly had a different notion on this intepretation.

    Source???? :o

    head for white sands beach area.

    It's not that busy but has most of what you want on the island. Beach is probably the best too.

    Agree with the above...if you're used to Phuket and Samui anywhere else on KC will be a bit basic/quiet...

    Enjoy your trip... :o
