If you could do it all again, would you choose living in Thailand?
 

How about somewhere with high altitude?

Any good high mountain places?

I only purchase from official stores on Lazada, for this reason.

Any chance the item you want is on an official store?

Given that cars don't stop, it's all fair?

I was on beach road:
Pressed button
Waited for light.
Watched the cars go thorough the red light until one stopped
I started to cross
Peeked behind the car and pulled head back in time to avoid being hit by Speedy Gonzales on his motorbike.

It's safer to cross when there is no light. Moving cars are less of a blind spot.

It's not dead.
Also, more to Pattaya than bar stools.

Perhaps the younger crowd do not spend much time on bar stools? Being young, they might walk.

I'm with 3bb 50 vdslwith international package.

iConsistently get 25mbps to Singapore and usa.

I stream hd Netflix with no problem.

I would prefer 200 fibre, to stream 4k. But I do not have that option.

Service is pretty good, but the line outside keeps getting torn down by busses and trucks.

I do agree that vigilantism is not a good strategy and my suggestion was not to break rules to prove a point but to get the developer to get their act together.
 
I.e. a developer that does not do any bookkeeping, budgeting, nor holds any AGMs, should not expect co-owners to just pay whatever invoice is sent to them.
 
By law you are required to pay for your share of the common expenses, but it is only fair that the developer provides some sort of documentation to prove these expenses are legit, and it is perfectly fine to question an invoice, asking for these documents, which by law, the developer should provide.
 
It is of course important that you make it clear that you are not paying an invoice because you are awaiting these documents.
 
And of course you should also file a complaint with the Land Office.

So what do you suggest to do in a situation where:

1) no meeting has been held
2) the JPM was appointed by the developer
3) No records, books, or accounting are shown when asked
4) developer still owns a large % of the property.

And, are you in your right to not pay maintenance fees since you can not see how it is being spent?

You want an easy life ? You have a partner / housekeeper who prepares your weekly menu -I personally find it extraordinary that many members of TV treat their wives ( because of the alpha male concept- and they give them money ) as nothing more than a servant. 
 
There is this wonderful thing called a kitchen - the Internet provides every possible recipe. 
 
OP - what is this obsession about getting married- unless you are Catholic perhaps. Don’t do it. 
 
And treat your partner as an equal 

They may simplify it: 800k govt bond. Can not touch. As long as you no touch you can stay.

Would be interesting if they got rid of retirement visas and pointed everyone to Thailand elite.

Would solve a lot of their problems and paperwork.

The biggest joke has been an unmitigated disaster for Thailand. Everything he touches, turns to crap. He is the polar opposite of a crime fighter or a guy who fights corruption. And he has turned the immigration department into a far more xenophobic entity than it was before. They were already arrogant and surly. Now?
 
Get him out. Remove him now. And Prayuth, get out now too. Neither of you fabulously incompetent men are wanted, needed, liked or helping anyone but the elites, the super rich and those in power. 
 
A note to those in power. You are mistaken. We are not the enemy. Alot of us bring an awful lot to the table here. 

Minced beef costs 600 a kg in Villa...very high for Thailand but it tastes good...

Depending on what you are securing.

Might you be better served by a safety deposit box at a bank?

I have not read much about B&Eing in Pattaya. Might a better approach be a more secured entry.

That being said, as mentioned, the shop opposite Foodland have multiple safes available, and the staff speak great English and seemed knowledgeable.

It's possible he was using the pension method. Did not keep up with the news. Went to the embassy to get an income confirmation letter.

Found out he can not get. Found out there is no alternative that can be met as he now has less than 30 days till his visa expires.

A problem can arise if you need to switch from income to savings method, as you need to get 800k very fast, so it can session for 3 months.

Ah, wine. I never look at that, so could not comment.

But food food seems to be the same. Beef prices came down.

1pm today:

70 mcg on second road.
50 mcg in various malls.
85 mcg in mall parking lot with no cars nearby turned on.

Do you have any Thai friends who may have police friends.

A donation from friend to the police will encourage them to show results.

Usually 2 to 5k for something like this

"There are some social cats and dogs who live in the streets"   So I take it you're not too concerned about the antisocial variety ?

Price is increasing regularly... if you are paying in USD.

Price is comparable to BigC and Central Foods.

Prices on lazada went up as demand increased. Ignore all those -20% or whatever sale they suggest. They simply bump up the base price.

If you need one, refresh Lazada frequently, and jump. I saw a store get in stock and sell out 15 mins later.

The levels it shows matches my Sndway monitor.

One on full power can really clean up two rooms in 30 minutes.

I leave it on full power. Auto allows the level to go up to 30%.

You need the android app to set power level.

I'm wondering if there is some medicine in powder or liquid form that can be given to cats and dogs to help them survive the pollution?

There are some social cats and dogs who live in the streets, and I was hoping there was something I can slip into their food to give them a better chance with survival.

Thank you.

Anyone have some good examples of condo charters i could use as a foundation for a new one should our condo have a meeting?

Thank you.

. CAM fees are payable by Chanote holders

 

. Juristic Person Manager's office is supposed to hold all accounting details onsite by law, but is often not when a 'rogue' management is in charge.

 

there are many, many more potential snags to watch out for, feel free to ask.

The condo act seems to refer only after the first meeting. It contains little information on when the first meeting must be held nor if fees are to be collected before the first meeting.

Section 42 states:

... registration of the condominium corporate.

Where can i find out if this has been done?

Thank you.

I've found information on what are the rules for condos after the first meeting.
 
What is unclear is what are the rules before the first meeting.
 
In a situation where transfer of all the condos from developers to owners is not completed (some people do not have chanotes yet).
 
Anyone know where I can find the rules and laws that apply in this situation.
 
Are maintenance fees supposed to be paid by those who have chanotes?
 
Is the juristic office or developer required to keep books on the collection of fees, the spending of fees, and how much remains in the bank (sinking fund, etc).
 
Thank you.
