it may not have been another loan secured against the car, she could have had debt from other loans like cash advance cards or credit cards, if that had went through the court and they got a judgement, then they could seize anything in her name, including cars and bikes

If you can't read Thai I can see this happening, when a mortgage is recorded on the deed, the buyer name is on it, also the lender of the mortgage is on it in the next column, typically in an actual legit business, the bank/lender would hold on to the chanote, but in this case by the time anyone notice anything the developer would have been long gone with the money, who cares if the buyer is left holding the chanote. so seeing your name in Thai recorded in the back is no guarantee, even fake deed is known to happen too

The well known MuX rear air conditioner condensing within the liners causing damp lining seem to be a problem still, factory issued fix at the dealer is to block the air intake that cause humid air to enter. strange that previous generations Mu x never had this problem

In my condo in central Bangkok (Asoke/Sukhumvit) I got a 5g router from AIS because the condo internet is only ADSL speed 50/20 due to aging copper cable, I got speed of around 250-300 mbps, downloading big thing like big game is pretty quick. Streaming - not much difference over slower connections, and the monthly cost of around 1000+ a month for unlimited data plus around 8000 baht for the router (new ones are going for around 3000 baht now) is not worth it unless you really need the speed and can't have it any other way (fiber to the room/home is cheaper and faster if you can get it) and I doubt anything on phones from streaming movies and music is gonna need anything that fast

hospital rights and estate should one partner die is the real sticking point here, imagine your partner got into an accident and you can't decide his/her fate to authorize medical procedure at the hospital because you can't get 'married' only their maybe estranged actual relative who was never in your life can. same with estate in case of death, all you've built up together gone to his/her parent and sibling only because you aren't married

Selling point of drum front and rear is that typical Thais would only use the rear brakes for fear of going over the handle bar, and once the rear brake pads has worn down, the unused drum in front front is straight swap over the rear, and the bike is good until that's worn out hence why non-front disc remained for so long

Australian white goods, fridge, washing machine are probably made in Thailand

Kanchanaburi 3199 around the reservoir is good, the road is suitably bendy, there's this section between two ferry pier of the best corner to test your riding skills anywhere in Thailand only spoilt by the literal <deleted> in the apexes, take lunch and a dip in the water at the many floating restaurant, back in a day, if you're too tired to deal with all the curves, take the ferry back. Go now as towards the tail end of the dry season the mountainside will often be on fire in places Khao Yai you can't go up the park without getting exhaust tested for sound now, it's not a place for spirited ride, and they've put in many speedbump within the park, while the park rangers are professional when testing your bikes, the park's there for the enjoyment of nature, not riding

Depends on what's your definition of 'central' Bangkok, Ratchaprasong to southern part of Wireless rd., yes, Sukhumvit, Petchburi rd. Silom and Sathorn are all freehold

Legend has it that when the FTA was drafted up, the only 'EV' fitting description was golf carts and was overlooked, hence China managed to sneak past all the Japanese and European/Western manufacturer in being to import their electric cars duty free (other taxes like excise etc still applies of course but they managed to one up all the legacy automotive industry with vested interest and lobbying power in Thailand)

BMW and Volvos built in China are being imported to Thailand now to enjoy the 0% import tax, yet they maintain the artificial high price to preserve their traditional car market

Before all the PC shop moved out of Pantip Plaza, when online selling start to take off, you could walk around and see what shop stocks what kind of thing, and especially when they ship out to their online customers, especially on certain parts there's a shortage of and restock are trickling in. Last time I built a full computer around 2017 the 1080 series graphics card were in short supply, many shop won't even give you time of day, but walking around Pantip and Palladium, you get the gist of which shop actually knows their stuff, and they see that you're serious and not just browsing, and see which shop deserve to have your deposit/preorder. you can't build relationship like that over emails or online store. I'm sure the current graphics card shortage/price gouging the situation's worse Talking to these guy who obviously know the Thai distributor, will have knowledge of what's coming to Thailand and when too, you only get this in Bangkok and not their upcountry branch it used to be worth it for the drive to Pantip/Palladium, maybe waste half a day walking around, see and spend on something you didn't plan on buying or even know that's it's available at all. Shopping online has its advantages, but I'll miss the good old days of physical shops for sure

Thankyou for being considerate, we are starting to see friction between newcomers from countries where masks are optional, this is ranging from getting dirty looks or verbal altercation in public, and wearing them incorrectly like under the nose you'll get told off by staff or other shoppers immediately even from the usually meek Thais If you are walking out on the street alone and far from people, like exercising in the park it's fine to lower your mask, but be prepare to have one to put on when going near other people. But some parks seem to want to enforce mask wearing rule and some gyms are very cautiously watching their members, only allowing mask off to have a drink, and must be on during exercise which is silly It'd be silly to ask people to have mask on while swimming, so at the pool side should be okay, if the hotel can serve drinks to the pool then it should count as restaurant, where people can sit with their mask off to eat. While mask wearing indoors like malls and supermarket's pretty strict, if you walk to the floors where there's multiple restaurants or food court you'll see hundreds people without masks on sitting at their tables, but once you leave the area you're expected to put your masks back on. In market setting where you can buy street food type thing and eat while you walk around is a bit of a grey area, you should have your mask on, as there's other people walking around too, but to sneak a bite or drink what you bought, you have to lower your mask, then immediately put it back on. so unless you're sitting down to eat, don't remove your mask completely.

Jib and Advice are comparable, I go back and forth between them for most things, you can go to their headquarter warehouse if you need things over the counter, their 2 hours or same day delivery is pretty good too Invade IT for more specialized stuff that's not available anywhere else, they're in Huahin so not as good for visiting For shop you can visit, since Pantip the IT mall is not longer, there's a few shops spread out over a few location computeandmore at Palladium is probably the last hold out, some good specialist in NUC and NAS in Pantip Ngamwongwan and a few at Fortune Mall

A will could take time to execute, at least going to the court to appoint an executor etc, at least months You can give them power of attorney to withdraw/manage your account, this can be the form of letter witnessed and recorded at the bank, or just a signature on the back of the withdrawal slip for one time use

in case of injuries, your first class insurance would ask the party to make a claim from the mandatory insurance first, then anything above that they pay on top, so it's not like it don't get used

if it went before a judge, maybe the judge would have them knocked off the collection fees and interest to a more reasonable amount, but the figured they offered is probably convenient for both parties involved

There are many ways to make the police get their act together, asking nicely by someone higher up, lubricating with incentives, or their inaction being covered by media is starting to make their higher up uncomfortable, without connections or cash, media is your best option, it don't even have to be the police bad, won't do anything angle, it could be ooh. look at scary robber in front of ATM You'd be surprise how effective Thai police can be if there are right motivation, suddenly somebody's that's got gambling debt just paid off, Somchai just bought loads of gold at Big C without winning the lottery, and if it's a small town

I wonder too, if they police won't act, there are ways to make them if it was as serious as she claimed

The people who paid for their Moderna are still not getting theirs,

A few months ago there's a couple of dealer who had ordered extra some sitting in their lot, didn't know if they let it go for over the selling price though. After this 'winter' season is over some of the existing owner would probably be selling theirs to move on to something else too, if you can wait that long. get in touch with grey market dealers who have existing relationship with shippers/dealers from the UK, they already know what to do, they only need their guy in the UK to get a hold of unregistered or low mileage example, as Thailand is no longer allowing imports of 2nd hand vehicle. They should be able to get in under Toyota's Thailand list price, as they don't have warranty to worry about. note: UK cars will have their indicator/wiper stalks on what's considered the 'wrong' side here that may affect the values a little

I thought the housebook can be empty, you don't need to move the child into the house at all, this should be separate from owning the deed to the land and shouldn't be an issue right?

Believed the OP, having heard stories of places being robbed and such myself, but the vague detail of 'somewhere in Isan' could have been the new sick buffalo recounted to lovers overseas to remit more money

get the media involved, if you only report to the police nothing could happen, if you have the popular thai talking heads involved things will starts rolling, start from the local reporter they're sitting around waiting for things to happen, your wife's story will be the most exiting thing they have this week, start there and kick it up to national news

I usually alternate between the Ars powder in the green fluo box thing and Bayer expensive drops, usually it takes care of the ants in about 2 days. Recently small quick ants seem to be ignoring the stuff, usually upon first drops of the Bayer quantum, they'd signal back to the nest and get a whole loads of them out in droves lining up feasting on the drops and bam - all dead or gone by the next day. but these ants are ignoring the Bayer now, only a few seem to be drawn to feed on them
