Yes, it does border on paranoia, lol. The land office keeps records, issues and updates chanotes, and they are the only ones who update the records and chanotes. Any sales etc are recorded at the land office and on the chanote, The seller and the buyer both need to present at the land office for a property to change hands. the seller hands in the chanote, the sale is recorded on the chanote, the new owner is then given the modified chanote. If you presented a faked chanote at the land office it wouldn't match the records.

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.

USUFRUCT, tricks and traps?
Peterw42 replied to steevjee's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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. -
5 year Drivers License Renewal at Bang Jak on Tourist Visa?
Peterw42 replied to mooping20Baht's topic in Bangkok
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 -
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.

Moo Baan committee members
Peterw42 replied to Nic2's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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 -
Since when has a passport, license, or any form of ID , been a requirement to enter a water park ?????

Why not trust Lazada ? 1,000s of people use it everyday. I have bought everything from a guitar to a computer and never had any problems
-
Maybe search a bit harder on Lazada. I know its not exactly the same spec , but close https://www.lazada.co.th/products/official-beelink-mini-cpu-intel-n95-ram-8gb-rom-256-gb-mini-pc-i4782911261-s19747955575.html?

A marriage visa, not that that makes any difference. I went and enquired at the office because I was aware, through friends, that Jomtien immigration always requires a new TM30 when returning from outside Thailand. If its not done you wont get your next extension until its done.
-
You cant really make a broad statement like that. The requirements and enforcement varies from office to office. I had a re-entry permit late last year and Jomtien immigration wanted tm30 redone

I think its happening already, I live darkside pattaya and there are more ganja shops here than 7/11s and pharmacies combined. But, I have noticed 2-3 shut down over the last month, and this is middle of high season. There is also a couple of high profile YT and tiktok channels promoting falang ganja and kratom shops, I dont think the government will let them run much longer.

Money transfer for RE purchase
Peterw42 replied to Lokum's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Whats happening the new taxation rules are still up in air. Any Tax liability would be for the wife and mother in law. I doubt what you write on the transfer would have much bearing on the taxation. Its not like they can call it savings from their home country, It is clearly income from abroad into their account, even if it is as a gift. The whole idea behind the taxation changes is to tax Thais getting large amounts of money from overseas. -
Neither staff or automatic gates are checking for a re-entry permit as you leave, why would they ?. A re-entry permit is checked on entry. So long as you have a re-entry permit, how, when, where you left the country is largely irrelevant. Logically, a scanner at an auto gate wont be able to read any stamps in a passport, the stamp could be on page one or page 20. Therefore, an auto gate could only ever process visa exempt stays.

Buying a condo as a long term rental
Peterw42 replied to mrblonde's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Maybe you dont know the difference between yield/roi and gain. (the OP is asking about return on investment on real property, not speculative gains on a ponzi scheme). Its currently up 150% because it was down 200%, so many people are still 50% down, good financial advice, lol. -

Buying a condo as a long term rental
Peterw42 replied to mrblonde's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Not every condo in Pattaya is a rental property looking for a tenant. Thais own condos and just leave them empty, foreigners own and use them for 2 months a year on holidays. Most of the time people have no idea about the status and occupancy of a condo block, just want to push the tired old narrative.
