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.

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.

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.

Punish millers severely for buying burnt cane and the problem would not exist.

I think this might have been fueled by Chinese money coming into the kingdom, perhaps before the Chinese government put limits on the amount of money that could be taken out of China.
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.

A few years ago, just before covid I read that most BKK condos were sold for cash.
I would agree when it comes to used units, but not so much new units. Since the BOT's tightening of lending criteria for mortgages it has been harder for many individuals to get a mortgage, which is where developers can assist is some small ways with new condos.

You also have to consider that many condos are purchased with a mortgage, no different than many other countries. With a new condo the developer has a relationship with the bank who is financing the entire condominium project (and often other banks as well), so minor issues between the customer and the bank can often be smoothed over.
Someone buying a used condo unit will have to deal with the bank entirely on their own, and that is just not as easy. For example you will need the unit surveyed to assess its value, whereas with buying a new unit the bank has already assessed every unit in the building, saving cost, time and allowing the bank to offer a "package" type mortgage.
It's often not that people don't like used units, it's simply a case of finance. I guarantee that if I was selling 10 used units on Sukhumvit or Sathorn at an 80 per cent discount there would be a queue around the block.

My pension board in California gave m3 30 days to get the form notarized and sent back to them. I had no choice but to fly back to Los Angeles and complete the process in person. I was not a nice person when I showed up at the local pension office. At least the UK office allows more than 30 days to respond.
I'm not sure if this would work for you but Benjamin Hart is a practising US lawyer who also has a legal business in Bangkok. His fee plus DHL express would be massively cheaper than travelling.

Do you have a device that is activated around about that time every day? Do you have a pump on a timer, or does a human always make a cup of tea or turn on a device at that particular time?
Perhaps you could work out exactly what is powered by that circuit and narrow down any possible devices by using a process of elimination?

A six-month trial testing the costs and benefits of a four-day working week across a number of different businesses has ended in success.
Sixty-one employers across the UK took part in the trial, and were all keen to permanently implement the new work pattern upon its completion.
A report assessing the impact of the alternative working hours found it had "extensive benefits", particularly for employees' well-being.

Do check the title deed carefully, as you may possibly be in a situation where you have two different grades of land title on the same plot. I have seen land before where the land further back from the river was classed as NS4 chanote land, but the land closer to the river was of a much lesser title.
This was because the land closest to the river was formed by alluvion, which would make you the riparian owner. As such you normally have the right to plant and harvest on alluvion land, but not necessarily to construct a building. I note from your plan above that you want to situate a house closest to the river, so it would be good to check.
Make very certain that the land has the correct concrete surveying pegs in place and that there is no (or minimal) land formed by alluvion in the plot.

Now the people who rented out that land without a proper title on it all, are threatening to kick my friend's co. out in 2 weeks if they dont pay the orbortor under the table for a building permit and start building.
Does my friend have any recourse? He doesnt want to build on that land subject to extortion! They need time to sort it out and make a new design which costs a lot of time and money usually.. 2 weeks is a lot of pressure.
This is impossible to say without reading the entire lease contract. Also you have not stated how long the lease is for, or whether the lease is registered on the back of the title deed.
What I would say is that land leases are a specialist area. You really do need to completely understand what you are signing, and also the possible ramifications of the lease. You especially need to know how to deal with the lessor in both good times and bad.
