Numerous visa shops the Trendy Building on Sukhumvit Soi 13 who will take your photo and print while you wait.

Eastbourne photo shop in Emporium aswell.

There are not many photo booth machines in Bangkok because they are expensive and they can't compete with small shops that take your photo and then print it on site immediately.

if there were bogus credit cards how can they be authorised?

Real people used their credit cards to book hotels. The fraud was perpetrated by the booking company who acted as an agent. They took payment for rooms that didn't exist and they kept the money.

Ssshhhhh.

Solid rain on mid Sukhumvit. Not heavy, but continuous. Some thunder.

@johnray what part of Thailand are you in?

Double check the text in the original document that the client supplied. Did the client supply the wrong link and give an http URL instead of an https URL?

That's the first day back after Songkran. I would expect it to be busy.

This topic is not Thailand related. In addition, it contravenes the following forum rule:

This is normal. When you submit the document bundle you are given approximately 1 month as an extension. Immigration use this time to check your documents for fraud or misrepresentation. If everything is legitimate then when you go back your extension will be granted for a period of 1 year from your last 1 year extension (so that the expiry date of your full extension is always the same every year, regardless of the day you apply on and regardless of the day you are asked to return to collect your full extension).

We all know each land office has its own "rules"

I completely agree with you on this. Fortunately the Land Office has a legal department that will instruct regional offices on the correct procedure if you happen to know someone who works there.

This doesn't mean the regional office will change its ways; more like they will begrudgingly process your request because they have to.

Doesn't that make the law kind of useless? 

The law is aimed at larger landlords who own apartment buildings with dozens of units in one location. The law is very useful for those in that situation.

Maybe it's possible to file a claim with some government authority and if she rents out less than 5 units they will dismiss it and otherwise they will force her to make a new contract? Or something similar?

This procedure does not exist. The government authority you are speculating about also doesn't exist.

Have you actually tried selling something where you did not removed the usufruct first (without their permission?) 

I have.

how do I find out how many properties that my landlord is currently leasing to other people?

You can't, if they are individual properties scattered across the city. Unless the landlord voluntarily declares it, that is.

is there a similar consumer protection law that regulates ALL leases?

No.

if the farang has a usufruct the

house CAN NOT  legally....again, legally..... be sold until his right as usufruct is rescinded.

Land with a usufruct can be legally sold without the knowledge, participation or consent of the usufructee. Or in other words, the buying and selling of land with a usufruct has nothing to do with the usufructee (unless they are buying it).

However, if land with a usufruct is sold, then the new owner must honour the terms of the usufruct, which remains extant.

In practice this means that most land with a usufruct is unsellable as nobody will purchase it unless it is for a very, very cheap price.

Each case is different though. It's one thing buying land with a usufruct when the usufructee is 96, and in poor health. It's another thing entirely buying the same piece of land if the usufructee is 40 year old iron man competitor.

the usufruct can be cancelled any time...

You are quite correct, but most usufructees would not remove their usufruct on the promise that the land would be sold at a later date. The obvious thing for the usufructee to do is cancel the usufruct in a consecutive transaction on the day of sale.

@Logosone I added the location to your original post. It's good to support small, local businesses in difficult times.
