  1. Maybe you can enlighten us as to the "true facts". Explain why its anything more than 2 guys flee police, police catch them, they then assault police and take police gun. Are there further facts being withheld ?
  2. Wow, absolutely gobsmacked, There are actually people that think the NZ guys action is normal, justified etc. And they walk amongst us.
  3. I am on the committee for my 150 house moobaan, and its hilarious, as nothing ever happens. I was involved in the "who didn't pick up their dogs poop" scandal of 2023, the only time the CCTV has ever been looked at. The number one current hot issue is a renter from number 23 not showering before swimming, extra ordinary committee meetings have been called, suggestions of police involvement, and the issue is still ongoing. Jokes aside, I think its always good to be on the committee, just to keep an eye on things. Condo blocks can go from good to bad very quickly. And its usually to do with control of how the money gets spent. Some of the big blocks, its a significant amount of money and people want to get their hands on it. All of a sudden the gardening is contracted out to a 3rd party, being on the committee you can be aware that the gardening company is owned by somchai in condo 427.
  4. And yet, smoking dope and drinking krathom on every 2nd corner is fine.
  5. I think you will find that is not correct, there are no title deeds for structures. Yes you can own the structure but the documents to show ownership are the receipts from building the house. If a house and land already exists, the structure cannot be separated from the land. Its really a moot point, unless the house is portable and can be moved, it serves no purpose to own a structure.
  6. Here is the registration website if people want to have a look. https://www.tts.go.th
  7. I would take anything on that expattaxes website with a grain of salt. their business is scaring expats so the expats sign up for their services.
  8. You will find a lot of property gets listed on facebook marketplace and groups nowadays
  9. If your license still has a year to run, why are you asking about renewal ? When you do renew, you will require a resident certificate, a current or expired license doesn't get you a resident certificate. Most DLT offices will only give you a 2 year license if on a tourist visa
  10. The TM30 requirements at jomtien change with the breeze. I think you will find currently (dec 2023) they want a new tm30 if returning from outside Thailand.
  11. I don't think you will find any law covering moo-baan committee payments, most moo baans seem to follow the condo legislation . You can find the legislation online and easy to understand. If there is any mention of payments, its probably more to do with reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the moo-baan, not a salary for the commitee
  12. Since when has a passport, license, or any form of ID , been a requirement to enter a water park ?????
  13. Its not clear what you are trying to do. Get a Thai ID card, go in a blue book ? Either way, there is no pass or fail interview, just lots of paperwork. 3 hours is probably just to cover the thai bureaucracy, if there is a queue etc.
  14. OP, you can live just outside of the usual popular expat locations, Pattaya, Phuket, Hua hin, and still be in the countryside. Pattaya for example, you can be 5ks from the city center and be on a lake, in the middle of a rice paddy and still get a pizza delivered..
  15. I am the same, I don't think I will go back. Although I own a place, it would mean kicking out the tenant (my current income), then a house fit out, appliances furniture, beds, plates cooking ($20k). I would want my Thai wife to come so that's another $10k for her visa. A basic car $5-10k. And, I would basically be on the dole for 2 years as nobody employs a 65 yo.
