I know of at least one extremely reputable Thai company that offers this service, however their fees average around 10 per cent up front and then a small monthly fee.

The contract they form can take care if you are deceased.

It's not especially cheap, however Thai legislation and corporate accounting is cumbersome and nobody reputable is going to do it for cheap.

In fact be highly suspicious of anyone with a cheap price, because it's just not realistic.

The temperature of the products we consume affects our perception of taste. If you really want to compare water, drink it at room temperature.

It depends what your budget is. For professional use, have a look at this:

Great power saw, but it's going to set you back 50,400 baht for the power saw which includes 1 x battery and 1 x charger. Add on another 9,900 baht for an additional battery. It depends how much you use the machine. If it is used very frequently and for extended durations then it might suit you.

So as far as I can understand if We arrive after feb11th fully vaxed we only need the passenger locator form filled in is that correct!.

This is correct, BUT check with your proposed airline whether they require a negative test to carry you. Some airlines may require a negative test, and some airlines may carry you without a test. Perhaps this factor might decide who you fly with, if the prices are similar.

Also, do not forget to take with you any paper documents you need as proof to get back into Thailand (such as your vaccination certificates).

Are you both double vaccinated? If yes, with what vaccines? Do you both have proof of vaccination?

Will you be arriving before or after 11 February 2022?

From the article:

"...in 2031 we [Thailand] will become a “super-aged” society with around 30% of the population aged 60 or older."

Hi Blackcab

 

That's genuinely interesting. Can you say more?

 

Examples, reasons etc?

 

Through my eyes, the deal would be totally different... if I were a Thai seller and the options were to sell (chanote transferred out of my name and never have any rights over the land again), versus 30 year lease to a farang, so that it's guaranteed the whole property will be returned to the family unencumbered in 30 years' time... Geez.... I know what I would choose.

 

I just don't understand the market's reasons for pricing them the same. 

 

Thanks.

There is often no logic to it at all. Why is unproductive farmland in Isaan priced more than productive farmland in the UK?

Or poorly designed and constructed condos in Bangkok priced more than similar but well designed properties in other major capital cities?

With 30 year leases these properties are usually in very specific locations where the owner will not sell for any money. An example would be beachside land or city centre land.

It's a case of the lessee must have the land so they are obliged to accept the terms of the lessor.

This is somewhat similar in your case if your ambition is the long term secure use of land or property.

So few people have 30 year residential leases on a house and land from a lessor they are not connected with in some way that you will fall into the unusual category. I think most sellers will try and leverage the situation and they will try and make you pay for what you want.

Be prepared to walk away from a few deals until you get what you want.

Yes, ours do.

No he won't. Thailand is not on the list of designated countries acceptable to the UK.

You need to carefully study the UK rules, as there are different conditions for foreign, non EU students studying in the UK.

https://www.gov.uk/driving-nongb-licence/y/a-foreign-student-studying-in-great-britain/non-european-union

The bit I read was: "... [if] your licence is from a ‘non-designated country or territory’, you’ll first need to apply for a provisional GB licence. You can then take a driving test and apply for a full licence once you’ve been in Great Britain for at least 6 months."

You need to transfer the condominium before you close the company.

If you somehow manage to do it the other way around you will be in real difficulty when you get to the land office as you will be trying to sell a property from a company that does not exist any more.

Yes, transfer tax has been reduced to 0.01 per cent for properties under 3 million baht (so a maximum of 300 baht) - but for Thai nationals only. Non Thai citizens still have to pay the full 2 per cent transfer tax, or whatever percentage of the 2 per cent they negotiate with the seller.

The discount for Thai citizens lasts until 31 December 2022.

I am assuming you want the toys to resell commercially?

There is no way of doing that online. Don't forget you need to submit samples for laboratory analysis before permission will be granted.

If you want convenience then I would suggest you use an agent. They aren't particularly cheap though.

It depends what the articles are. Different articles require permission from different government departments.

Medicine, firearms, radio transceivers, palm oil. They all require permission from different government departments.

What do you want to import?

Thank you, I was also considering this although was unsure whether the HK IDP would be invalid as soon as I leave HK as I have to notify them that I have changed my address within 72 hours.

You don't need an IDP to convert a Non-Thai license to a Thai license.
