  1. You need to give us a bit more information.

    What nationality are the married couple? Where did they get married? Where do they live now? Who is contesting the divorce - him or her? Why (or on what grounds) is that person contesting the divorce?

  2. "Thanks for all your calculations, really appreciated - and thanks also to meatboy for his STERN WARNING. smile.png I'll just buy Malaysian ringgit, Aussie and New Zealand dollars here in Thailand at SuperRich then."

    Exactly.

    If you have a bit left over keep good of it for next time. No need to lose on the conversion when you change it back. You also have the option of watching the prices and changing it back to make a small profit.

    Remember that if you change back at Super Rich they only accept really good quality notes. No rips, tears, holes, missing corners, stains or too much writing. Any of this and they will give you the note back.

  3. Q: I am wondering if one can register a business at a rented residential address, with the consent of the landlord?

    A: Yes. However residential leases normally stipulate no business is to be conducted at the premises. You need to check what your contact says.

    Q: If so, can more than one business be registered at that address?

    A: Yes.

  4. "Many Thai people, including some who are wealthy business people, are afraid of a cashier's check. This has been my experience."

    For larger purchases you can pay your taxes and fees (if applicable) with a cashiers cheque. The land office does accept them, but it takes a little longer as they phone the bank to verify. In reality it's much quicker to use cash for taxes/fees less than a milion baht.

  5. The spot price when you first posted was $15.80. Now it's $15.13. If you look at the charts in the last 5 years the silver price has slowly declined. Nobody knows the future, but the trend doesn't look like it's going up any time soon.

    The problem you (and potential buyers) have is that the coins aren't particularly desirable in Asia, and they are difficult to sell at the spot price.

    Your best market would be to an American or perhaps a European who could take them home and sell them. However they are only going to do this if they can make a profit, or it's not going to be worth their time and the risk.

    At the minute a price of 450 baht a coin gives them $2.50 profit a coin, so for 20 coins they might make $50... but they have to meet you, spend time checking the coins (these coins are frequently counterfeited), take them to another country, sell them and hope the spot price doesn't follow the trend and drop in the meantime.

  6. The only cost from the electricity company is the deposit you are required to pay to take over the meter.

    The electric company are very helpful. If you give them a call they will tell you the amount of deposit.

    As a guide, one apartment building the company I work for owns has a deposit of 48,000 baht - for the whole building.

    You can deal with the electricity company yourself. I suggest you do and cut out the gouging.

    One you have done this the developer can get their deposit back.
