  1. Still waiting for the forum software to be fixed.
  2. Lavish Lester.
  3. The first option. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not going to legalise your passport alone as you are not a Thai citizen. Any decent translation service will be able to do this remotely for you. You send them a scan of the bio page of your passport and a scan of your marriage certificate. You pay for all fees online (generally by bank transfer if you have a Thai bank account). They will translate the document and take the translation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and get it legalised for you. The legalised document can then be posted to you anywhere in Thailand by EMS (or worldwide if you are prepared to pay for the shipping). No need to attend anywhere in person to complete the translation/legalisation process.
  4. Hi This issue was discussed at length here:
  5. Most small businesses (which are registered as a business with the MEA) use MEA type 2.1 Small General Service on Normal Tariff (Below 12kV). For February 2023, the cost was 6.33 baht per unit. Here is an example where 3,684 units were used and the total cost was 23,330.40 baht. https://www.mea.or.th/en/aboutelectric/116/280/form/21
  6. Let It Be... Naked (That really is a Beatles album, released in 2003).
  7. No problem at all with major currency exchanges. Technically there is an 800,000 baht per person per day limit, but as I mentioned, that is technically.
  8. Moved to the Pattaya local forum.
  9. Moved to the Community Pub.
  10. Moved to the Community Pub.
  11. Moved to the Health Forum.
  12. Moved to the Community Pub.
  13. Your post is unclear. Is it: a. Your current employer changing their place of business, or b. You are going to get a new job with a different employer If it is option b then you will have to submit a new work permit application. Work permits are not transferable between employers. The new company will have to supply all necessary company documents to enable the application to happen.
  14. I'm probably not supposed to say this, but I was warned by a time traveller that whatever I do, and for the sake of all humanity, I must not delete this topic.
  15. This topic has been notified here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1286218-reactions-an-update/
  16. An unhelpful post has been removed.
  17. Q: is it still the case the farang gets 1 year to sell it as farango can't own it? What happens at the 12 month mark if a firesale hasn't been achieved? A: Yes, the executor has 12 months to sell the property, assuming you are the beneficiary and your wife hasn't left the property to someone else. If a sale is not achieved then in practice nothing happens. The Land Office doesn't actively seek out such cases to enforce them. Q: If we take a mortgage insurance product that doesn't fully track the outstanding capital - either shorter duration or 80% of remaining value - what happens here? I need to continue servicing the mortgage somehow? do I still get one year? A: If the bank are aware of the death then strictly the mortgage becomes immediately repayable in full. The bank will often work with the estate though until the mortgage is fully redeemed. Normally redemption would happen on the day of the sale, whereby the buyer would prepare one cheque payable to the bank holding the mortgage and a second cheque to the estate for the remaining balance of the sale.
  18. An off topic post has been removed.
  19. Punish millers severely for buying burnt cane and the problem would not exist.
  20. Perhaps in some areas such as Pattaya, but not so much in Bangkok. From experience there are very very few condo projects in Bangkok that get anywhere close to maxing out the foreigner quota, to the extent that discussion of the project's ratio isn't really a thing in Bangkok.
