Op, not much difference between standard laptops nowadays, and most come out of the same 2-3 Chinese factories. On Monday they are making Acer, on Tuesdays they are making Lenovo, dell etc. Branding doesnt mean much, and all the internal components are identical.
Just go with the cheapest, and look for things like warranty, local service center etc

Usually the first 90 day report, after re-entering Thailand, needs to be done in person. Then subsequent reports can be done online, mail etc. The requirements can change with the wind, so the definitive answer would be to ask the immi office

So far this term Trump has brokered peace between India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Israel and Iran, Cambodia and Thailand and now Armenia and Azerbaijan. This represents the saving of 10's of thousands of lives. Why the laughing emoji?
I think you will find the laughing emoji is because most people would consider this report to be more Trump more propaganda, he really wants that Nobel peace prize, and is claiming he ending many conflicts around the world.
We have all just witnessed trump claiming credit for ending the Thai Cambodia conflict, when he had nothing to do with it.

What do you need to bring to Banglamung LTD to change your drivers license to your new passport number?
I know a lot of people don't do this but I would like to to keep my drivers license up to date and if the passport number on the drivers license is not correct you will sometimes have problems when using this as identification.
I imagine its just your passport, but they could require other documents like a Res cert. These requirements change on a regular basis, so probably best to ask the DLT direct.

check what's written in your lease, there is usually a paragraph covering rent, increases, penalties etc

This is not entirely correct, at least in our experience. With several of our property sales here, we rented back for short periods and did not move out on the date of the sale. The rent back details were spelled out and agreed to by both parties in the sales contract. A sales contract can have just about anything in it that the two parties agree to, as long as the 'anything' is legal, including rent backs.
Yes, of course you can arrange to rent back from the new owner etc., but the OP is talking about a chain of settlements where a property settlement, move in/out, is conditional on another property settlement, its something you see in UK property TV shows.

I am looking to sell my condo !! and use the proceeds to buy another property. How does the conveyancing process work here? I presume the buyer/seller meet at the Land Office, the buyer hands over the cash and the seller gives him the chanote. But then does the buyer expect the seller to move straight out? I could not commit to buying another property until my sale was complete, with the cash in hand. Are you expected to move into temporary accommodation, and store your belongings, until you can complete a purchase?
In the UK the lawyers would arrange a simultaneous exchange of contracts so you moved out and in on the same day.
It doesn't work like the UK, you move out the day you sell, whether you have another property lined up or not. The buyer wont care less if you are waiting to purchase elsewhere. There are no chain settlements or moves.

So Obama knew "before" the election results, that Russia didn't effect the election results. That is some next level denial, denial of something that hasn't happened yet.

Do you mean a lawyer could handle it with POA from both involved?
Yes, one lawyer should be able to act for both parties with POA from both parties. Even if no money changes hands, the land office will still want taxes and fees, usually works out to be around 5% of what the land office says the property is worth, not what either party says its worth,

Does anyone know if the name change can be done remotely or by proxy since neither of them now lives locally to the land itself? I hope there is an alternative to trekking to the Land Office in the changwat!
I think you will find the land office will see the transfer the same as a sale, and they will want all the usual taxes, transfer fees and duties. Otherwise everyone would be declaring a name change rather than a sale.
Otherwise, a lawyer could do the transfer/sale with Power Of Attorney (POA) documents and authority.

Thanks. That will be a big problem for me, as there are payments in Thailand that I can neither do in cash, nor from abroad. Guess, the times of Thailand being my on-and-off home and travel hub in SE Asia are over...
There appears to be no consistency, people with long term accounts and visa's are getting shut down, while others, opened last month on a tourist visa are not being touched. It does appear to be Bangkok and K bank
If you move everything over to your other account, most likely be ok.

The selling price tentatively agreed is 9 mil. Could someone clarify the cost selling ie transfer,stamp duty and tax. Are the fees and taxes based on the land office figures or the actual selling price? I have seen conflicting information on the Internet.
Thanks in advance.
The taxes are based on whatever figure is highest. The land office has an appraised value that you cant go below, and if you disclose a higher sales figure then that's what will be taxed.
Its amazing, but all properties seem to change hands for the land office appraised figure.

The maintenance guys should only be working on common property, or as scuba says, common property that may be within a condo like pipes in ceiling.
It may be that the condo office is using the maintenance staff to run their own little handy man business, and pocketing the funds. It can also be that the committee are part of the little enterprise.
Otherwise, its something that the committee should be sorting out.

Thailand in general, is not a year on year capital gain market. its a buy to live in or rental investment market, there are even specific taxes to stop flipping properties for profit. Thailand has one of the highest home ownership rates in the world, around 70-80%, and new stock is always being built so there is never a supply problem to push prices up.
Actual prices can often be the same as 10 years later. There are always stupid listed prices that are never achieved so foreigners see that as the market going up.
Foreigners often think the Thai market is just like home with percentage gains every year, and they often pay way over what a property is worth, only to find out years later they paid to much and have no chance of selling.

Maybe contact a builder for up to date pricing. A little hard to give prices without knowing what materials, design etc.

The property has no documents/paper,but has a registered owner at the land office. Q: Can the registered owner transfer the ownership(in the computer/digital) at the land office when there is no paper/documents of the property?
A quick google search give lots of information about Sor Kor 1 document, the land is not owned, the document is a record of who occupies the land.
While Sor Kor 1 (ส.ค. 1), a land claim document, is not a title deed and doesn't signify ownership, it can be transferred, but only in a limited way. Specifically, it can be transferred by inheritance or by the current holder physically handing over the document and possession of the land to another person. However, it cannot be legally sold, mortgaged, or transferred in a formal way like a title deed.

6 hours ago, KruAlastair said:I'd like some clarity and any tips as to what to do and prepare in my situation for the 12 month marriage extension.
Here's my background with some questions:- I have never done this extension before at any IO in Thailand. So have absolutely no idea about anything in this process, just some rough info on documents that would be needed. I have asked agents and they seem to not help with this kind of service for some reason.
- I have had 400k sitting in a Thai bank since January.
- I have 9 year old daughter (so is a witness needed? will she need to also be present?)
- I have a rental agreement and live in a condominium (do the immigration police even visit condos? does the wife and child have to be present whilst they are visiting?)
- Am still married but haven't done anything in terms of updating any kind of marriage documents. I can't even remember the amphur in Bangkok where we registered at but it wasn't the one where we are now. So if I do need the documents updated could I do it any any amphur?
- The marriage visa I am on now expires August 1st....when is the best time to kick start this process?
- If anyone knows the current and updated checklist for this extension for this particular office, Samut Prakan, I'd be grateful if you'd share, it'd save me a trip.
As others have said, its usually best to check the requirements of the office you will be attending.
Its not usually the drama people make it out to be. I do a marriage extension in Pattaya every year, they require all the usual documents, passport, tm30 etc, Bank letter stating 400k funds for 60 days, also want a kor ror 2 (proof still married) from the local ampher . Photographs showing you and wife at your house (standing in front of the letterbox showing house number, sitting on the lounge etc, i submit the same photos every year). After submitting the documents immigration visits your house in the next couple of days, just to check you haven't hired a local bargirl to pretend to be your wife. a couple of weeks later go back to immigration and get 1 year stamp.
I literally do it all in one day, start at ampher when it opens, then to the bank, then to immi office.

Best Agency to Renew OA Visa
in Pattaya
As above, you don't renew an OA visa, you get an extension on your stay in Thailand for another 12 months. A lot of the agents are having trouble with the bank accounts at the moment so you may have to shop around if you don't have an established account. Also, if your original visa is an OA, any extension will be subject to the original insurance requirement, and agents wont be able to help with that.
Otherwise any of the agents mentioned above will be able to help.
