Tiny tiny difference in formulating in rules !! …. starting 10 000 .... so only up to 9999 you are free for no declaration , as many think it is over , notice the agents always ask if you have 10 000 or more .....!!

However any amount over £1,000 can be detained and investigated. If you don't have a satisfactory explanation for the money then there is a possibility it could be confiscated. More info in the link below:

I'm sorry, I don't know.

It's 600 baht per month per child now.

Dont forget the UK also needs a cash declaration over (IIRC) 10k. 

The UK requires a declaration for amounts over 10,000 Euros or the equivalent.

It’s still the same $20000 and nowhere to declare on the way out . Only on the way in and no one ever checks in Thailand , no sniffer dogs .

This is incorrect. Please read the following for up to date information:

Super Rich have a maximum transaction amount of 800,000 baht for exchange to other currencies, I believe.

This is incorrect. Super Rich will exchange any amount of currency. There is no transaction limit.

Above 800k they are supposed to submit a money laundering form.

Yes you can. There is a small wooden bridge you have to walk across. Carry on forward for a few metres and the gate to the park is on your left.

The first access gate before the bridge is partially closed to stop vehicles entering apart from specified hours, but is open for pedestrians.

After the bridge, look right. The path running alongside the khlong takes you all the way to Wireless road. You descend the steps a few metres from the gate to Lumpini park.

The camera is an ARH MicroCAM M202/M402 unit that can be used for anything from recording, to pre-selected ANPR use or live ANPR use, amongst other things.

PoA to, after ten or twenty years when the lease needs to be renewed, sign the lease instead of the owner in case the landowner is on holidays abroad.
so, the owner would make a notarized PoA for a third party authorizing that party to sign a lease contract with Xyz for land parcel 123456 from 11-11-2029 - 2039, 2039-2049 respectively.

No, that's not possible in any circumstances. The only way to delegate authority is by using a specific Land Office authority letter. The Land Office will not accept any other form of authority letter, PoA, contract, letter from an attorney, etc. The Land Office authority letter is valid for 1 month from the date of signature.

In reality nobody would do a 10+10+10 lease. You would either do a short 3+3+3 lease or a 30 year lease with 10 year breaks.

How the appeal was even possible considering the ban on all construction above 80 metres above sea level applies regardless of land ownership was not explained.

Live and learn - I've not heard of this before. It must be a local Phuket regulation otherwise every building in Chiang Mai would be illegal.

In other words, would a PoA, issued upon signature of lease, for renewal after 10 and 20 years be valid at that time in the future ?

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand what you are asking. Who would the grantee and grantor be? What would the PoA authorise the grantee to do, and for whose benefit?

The little branches in shopping centres are usually sub-branches, and will not open an account for you.

That's not entirely correct. Every branch in malls such as Emquartier will open an account if you have the required documents.

In the bigger malls such as Paragon, Emquartier and Central World the branches are full service.

This post has been closed due to it being several years old.

Send a message to @happylarry and ask his advice.

Bank branches in shopping malls are open on Saturday and Sundays, often with extended opening hours.

I can't advise whether they will open an account for you though as that seems to be a personal decision rather than a decision based on location.

...can go to the place of birth and get certificates and then put them on a house book..

No. You also cannot enrol them in a school, give consent for medical treatment or apply for a Thai ID card for them. You do not have any legal right to take or keep the children away from their mother. Currently, the children's mother has 100 per cent control over the children's upbringing.

(That being said some members in a similar situation have managed to struggle on and achieve some of the above without the mother's consent).

...what happens if I have to go out the country? Does she have to look after them by law?

It's up to her. She can look after the children; she can decide that someone else will look after the children or she can put the children in a children's home if she really can't cope and there is no other option.

It is unclear whether the children's mother was your wife or your girlfriend. You used the word wife in the subject of your post and girlfriend in the post itself.

If you were not married to your ex girlfriend you have no "possessory" rights. In fact you have no rights at all.

You need to legitimise the children. Click the link below to read a topic about this process:

In case the owner is not to be found in 10 years, would a power of attorney be valid after ten years ?
(it could have been revoked in the meantime, but, nevertheless, better than nothing at all.)

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question.

I would venture a guess that if the Khamnan were to receive a brown envelope the law would suddenly change to it,s original form ????

No, because it has nothing to do with the Khamnan or the Amphur.

A lease with a term exceeding 3 years is recorded on the back of a title deed at the Land Office. You will need the owner of the property (or their representative) present at the Land Office to confirm their agreement.

so if I move out and back in again after 3-months this common fee will drop down?

 

i bet they have tried this on the Thai residents

I doubt it. If it does, your rent will go up the same amount.

The point being you will still be paying the same whichever way you slice it.

Buy into a well managed building. One hidden cost is potential depreciation. If the building management do nothing but somehow there is no money left, then your building will quickly start looking poorly maintained and unattractive.

Trying to sell will be difficult and you will probably be forced to discount the unit to get rid of it.
