Thief

The main impact of this is that he will not have to deal with immigration with regards to getting a Non O/Non B extension for the purpose of working with a Thai business, which is particularly onerous in terms of documentation. Instead he can get a retirement extension, which is one of the easier extensions to get. Lucky for him. I wonder if other provinces will follow suit?

Today in Bangkok the AQI was 34 and green. How would you cope if the AQI was red for days on end, as it often is at other times of the year? What about if the AQI was purple? Poor air quality is an issue.

It's probably Sor Por Gor land. If she does it the correct way and gets a blue house book for the property then she stands an increased chance of getting the property or a portion of the property upgraded to a NS4 chanote title at some (unspecified) point in the future. For modest money It's not a totally wild idea.

Thank you for the suggestion however the gentleman in question can't ride pillion on a motorbike because he has epilepsy.

I believe for him being walking distance to shops and amenities trumps any noise issues. He currently lives in a condo on Sukhumvit in Bangkok, so he must be reasonably noise tolerant.

Walking/baht bus/taxis. He can't safely ride pillion on a motorbike. 1 year lease.

A colleague is looking to rent a condo on/near Beach Road Pattaya. He cannot ride/drive due to epilepsy, so closer is better. He has a budget of 25k per month and would prefer 1 bedroom, 60 plus square meters total space and a sea view (if at all possible). Does anyone have any good suggestions? Not knowing the area, is there a preferred part of Beach Road? On one hand he would like easy access to malls, but on the other he wants to be able to sleep at night...

10 baht per kilometre.

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.
