Hi This issue was discussed at length here:

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

Let It Be... Naked (That really is a Beatles album, released in 2003).

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.

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.

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.

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.
