Hi everyone. Here's my situation, would you give me advice? Today is my last day to do the 90 day check in.

1) I hear there is a 1-week grace period. Is that true?

2) Can i send the documents on the post today and still succeed? That's my usual method.

3) Just in case, I tried the online form this morning, but when I clicked OK all I got was a blank screen.

What do you think? Cheers.

I would like to buy Thai books (novels and such, especially classics) that include both the English and Thai version, in opposite pages. Has anyone seen this or anything similar? Cheers

Thanks. Some folk try to convince themselves that throwing money away (i.e. renting) is better than having a place of your own. Freehold is a better option but a leasehold may be good. Monthly payments may be lower than an actual rent, although service charges may level the field. BUT you get a larger space (2 bedrooms for the price of 1 is my conclusion, after some research). Also, on a leasehold you CAN hang pictures on the wall. The landlord is never going to show up, not for the next 30 years. That's how I see it although I would rather buy a freehold obviously, but location is my priority.

I probably would not consider buying a short lease of less than 100 years either, unless it was extremely cheap. Thai leases of 30 years seem particularly unattractive, especially considering that the widely touted 30+30+30 lease arrangements are not legal and not enforceable.

Leases seem to be fairly common in Phuket but not elsewhere here that I'm aware of. I see no obvious reason for this and so I assume that it is just one more Phuket property scam. Elsewhere in Thailand most foreigners wanting to buy a condo would just buy it freehold, which they can do completely legal ly.

Thanks. My worry is mainly the landlord, not so much investment (I have property in my country, that's my safety net). If the leaseholder is trustworthy (there are companies that have an OK reputation and others unknown that I assume are dodgy) then the leasehold may be an OK idea? Where I want to be in Bangkok, and location is my first priority, there only seem to be leaseholds. I am waiting for some positive feedback on leaseholds, pleeease

In Europe I would not buy a flat with a leasehold under 80-100 years, probably. Why would I in Thailand? I'm told it's normal here. Is it? I need some advice, thanks.

Hi there,

I would like to take a taxi from Sukhumvit to Suvarnabhumi airport around 6pm on a Monday. I'd like to know how much will it be and how long will it take. Any companies that can pick me up at my place? Any suggestions, other than public transportation -which I am reluctant to use? Cheers.

I have just done mine online, but when I clicked on "send" I didn't get any confirmation message. Email confirmation would be ideal. I will send my documents by post just in case.

Give or take, I thought.
