How much did you win?

Moved to the Banking forum.

No, sorry.

What do you think @simon43?

And then get her to work out how many more customers she will need to make the 30,000 baht she lost from the job she gave up. Get her to calculate the average profit per customer, and the average time spent per customer, and let her work out how many customer hours are needed every month. In central Bangkok I see prices of 200 baht per hand, so 400 baht per customer. If her business expenses are 10,000 per month and she needs to recoup 30,000 salary then she needs 100 customers per month, or 25 customers per week. If a customer takes 1 hour then she has spent 25 hours of labour already. If she worked 50 hours per week, and she had a customer every single hour, then she would make an additional 40,000 baht per month - but we all know you are never going to get a customer sat in chair nearly all of the time. As we all know, she needs to work this out for herself though.

The Condominium Act gives you statute law, which is only a starting point. The Act doesn't have much to say about individual issues such as this, as these are left to the co-owners to manage themselves by way of an AGM/EGM resolution. If your committee does not have the specific power to perform this function as delegated by the co-owners at a previous AGM/EGM then you will need to propose a motion at the next AGM/EGM. In a happy well run building the committee can usually make minor changes like this if there is no detriment to the co-owners, but in your case you have a litigious co-owner. In the absence of specific permission in the Condominium Act, and in the absence of delegated authority then you have two choices: 1. The committee convenes and authorises the action anyway, or 2. You wait until the next AGM/EGM It's entirely up to the committee if they want to go at risk or not. I would not expect the management company to undertake the change without a written resolution from the committee.

BMA taxmap. Let us know if it actually works please. For others reading this, this app is for Bangkok only.

Best idea: Get her to take her insurance agent's license for one of the major companies. If she can find her own clients from her own circle of friends/family/etc she can make good money through commission. She knows the business already, and she probably already has a phone/tablet to start with. The bank she works for might not be impressed, so don't tell them.

@Skeety65 That's a really good point made by thaitero. Has your condo building done that?

Take your blue book, title deed and passport to your District Office and they will give you a replacement. There is normally a QR code on the invoice you can scan with your banking app. No.

Definitely bring it up for a vote at the next AGM. If the majority of co-owners agree then go for it. It's not worth putting yourself and others in the firing line for. Take good quality photos of the problem and also the proposed solution.

How do you get portability?

Diesel, just don't go mad with it. You can drill small holes in the trunk and pump it in with a plastic syringe, and you can also paint it on. It will take a while, but it should kill off the roots aswell.

@Lite Beer Thank you. So the retirees applying under this section would now be a minimum of 80 years old for the 50,000/500,000 route, or 85 years old for the 20,000/200,000 route, with a minimum consecutive stay in Thailand of 25 years. This must be a small subset of retirees.

So those guys would be something like a minimum of 77 years old now, with at least 27 consecutive years of extensions in Thailand. I am sure there are some, but there can't be many, and their number will be decreasing every year.

As I mentioned above, you could be convicted in your absence. Some people are convicted in their absence of serious, historic crimes that they committed many years ago.

People can be convicted in their absence, in which case they would probably be on the run or a fugitive from justice. Exactly the sort of person a criminal record check would be designed to catch.

Moved to the Banking forum.

There are many SCB customers on this forum. If you post your question here they may be able to help.

You were discussing a police acro certificate. I was discussing a DBS certificate.

Maybe both.

A bit off-topic, it's the same in the UK. You can online authorise people to view your certificates online, however that isn't going to be any use in Thailand. Immigration here are going to want a paper certificate. No way immigration are going to deal with every criminal record system from every country, online logins, etc. They will place the onus on the applicant to provide the correct paper documentation to them.

You can also order a basic DBS check online for 18 pounds, however you will need a UK address and the paper copy will be posted to your UK address, which is only going to suitable for some people.

You receive an almost instant email when you leave the store listing all your items, the amounts, etc. If you spot a mistake they refund your money. If you want to return anything they refund you and tell you to keep the item. It's not worth employing someone to deal with a returned yoghurt or whatever.

In a very few new format stores. The reason they don't accept cash is that there are no tills, and there is nowhere to scan your purchases to pay. You just pick up what you want and walk out of the store with your items. Your bank card is automatically debited without needing to present it. It's not new - Amazon Go already has stores like this. https://retailtechinnovationhub.com/home/2023/8/1/aldi-uk-checkout-free-store-at-centre-of-cash-row-as-piers-corbyn-pays-for-strawberries-with-coins It's a fair likelihood though that in the future more shops will be like this. The business will need very few staff; you can hire people on zero hours contracts to stock shelves as and when needed/gig economy work only; there is zero cash risk; no need for expensive computerised tills, cash collections, etc.
