For most new builds in Bangkok 3-7 years back Thais would be queueing to buy off-plan on launch day and could even flip the deposit for profit

could it be that because it's hotter here and it takes more time to cure?

The system's working since January, to renew road tax means all outstanding tickets is brought up to be paid

First come first served, it's maintained per building so not attached to a specific room so you can, and if you sell to a Thai, the foreign quota for that condo became available for others, the Juristic Manager would know if the quota is used up or not.

Is the 'potential' higher resale value be worth more than the worse exchange rate if you were to transfer the funds in through proper means that can provide FET to satisfy the land office? vs just using money already in Thailand or transferring in though other means that won't have FET? The condo being in Thai name doesn't mean you won't be able to sell into foreign quota later if the condo's quota isn't all used up

only reason to want foreign quota is to sell later on, you'd have more opportunity and price if the condo is still in foreigner quota but are there anyway for a Thai to hold on to foreign quota? I don't think so, short of using her foreign identity to but the condo with associated paperwork like FET if the occupancy is not filled up it may be still possible to transfer to foreigner while the 49% is not met, but this can't be guaranteed won't be filled by the time you want to sell.

How would they know if you've been 'out'

you have to activate online or at atm to set a daily limit for online shopping, but in my experience they rarely work, I think they only work with payment gateway that support Visa/Mastercards 3D payment where they send you an OTP, which in western world is rare even contactless for Bangkok Bank's MasterCard Debit cards don't work in shops most of the time

If you can avoid being reported to 'checked in' at a hotel you can save yourself the trouble of re-reporting yourself when you're home, for the immigration office that insist on it say you had a weekend away and the hotel reported you moved there say in Phuket or whatever and you didn't report that you 'moved' back to your usual place, would this be a problem when you present the initial TM30 at immigration that might not match where they had you last in their system?

I would ask her that I have many other activities that I was going to be doing to myself and I would rather not be taking a job from a Thai and does she offer such service

Some hotels won't let you check in with just Thai driver license now, 'policy is for passport' What exactly is required of them in order to report T.M. 30? the passport number on driving license might not be current is understandable for hotels that is this strict about reporting I doubt pink ID card would be acceptable too, it's not like they can put you down as a Thai person checking in

What's the objection? they don't have to use it if it's there, or are they afraid they'll be enjoying themselves with it? I know in malls and such that don't have them is that some thais spray it on the floor to clean their feet or whatever and it's a big mess with people walking out with wet shoes

Yes, there is no such thing as 'Thai Quota' but if you're advertising a room for sale, would you put down 'not in foreigner quota' or 'thai ownership only' in your description? When 'foreigner quota' is an already understood concept, 'Thai Quota' while inaccurate if you're being pedantic is an easy shorthand

While they're not in homes, water chiller tower are used in malls in Thailand, but even then the chilled water are never aerosolized indoors, they pass through the cold split unit in sealed pipes

having grown up in CoE, I find evangelicals at ECB fits the description you are looking for better than proper Anglican church the american-styled service takes a bit to get used to the pomp of Anglican church though

those who know wouldn't tell you, if you're an outsider how much can you 'research' like sit on the beach and observe the power dynamics of the beach vendor on who pays whom and talk to who appears to be the big boss? or start hustling and see who shows up and offer to 'clear' things for you even if you approach someone who say they can sort it for you, how will you not be scammed?

most time of the year it doesn't work in Thailand, on the few days that humidity is low enough it'll be cold 'winter' that you won't need them you can keep putting ice in the water box and it'll actually lower the temperature outdoors or really well ventilated room is the only place they can be tolerated

even if the whole building collapse for some reason like fire or earthquake and after clearing away the rubble, the land is sold to a new developer, you get a cut of that sale, that's a lot more than what you'd get if you try to own lands through other means in Thailand

What do you call a room that's selling in a condo that's had the foreign quota all filled up? for conventions and ease of communication, 'thai quota' is reasonable description

Unusually ran away from finance or book used as collateral with loan you get a photocopy of the blue book you can use to pay for the annual road tax, as long as you used it away from the domicile of the seller where the repo guys would come looking, worse is it's reported stolen to the police and any roadside stop means you kiss whatever you paid goodbye If you use it as farm vehicle and such it's probably fine you (the seller) can report the blue book stolen to get replacement if it's not registered with a finance company, but then that's another charge of perjury if ever found out. \If these sellers can't afford to make the monthly payments to the bank, they're unlikely to be enterprising enough to scam you further, but for certain motorcycles it used to be that after you've paid and receive the อำ้รแสำ they'd tip the repo guy or the police to come pick up the vehicle from you, rinse and repeat with other unsuspecting victims

GPX Drone - seen many around Bangkok years back when they first came out, lots of food riders use them too - but then they start disappearing, bad service/warranty and no parts issue? unless you know what you're doing, have a garage you can take to - better stick with the well known brands like Honda and Yamaha

There's already service in Thailand where you can go to a 'Banking Agent' to withdraw money for 5% fee instead of the ATM, currently it's 7-11s and some Supermarkets Banks like SCB has removed lots of their ATMs now

I don't think QR Promptpay as a home grown solution without Visa and Mastercard taking the cut is going away, they even make it inteoperable with other banks in the region from Singapore to Korea now There are no cheap way to 'receive' QR contactless cards yet whereas the cost for mom and pop stalls to receive QR payment is practically zero

There's a street off Ram Inthra in Min Buri you can drive up in the morning to get day laborers

Last I did it it was EUR-> GBP, then I paid for that with Thai credit card
