yes I know they'll sign the papers for you but this skirts the spirit of the law and may not hold up in court. Land office may be issuing invalid documents basically. Usufructs are normally meant so people can have rights to work the land in leu of full ownership, not a backdoor so foreigners can own land.

They're going the opposite direction and taxing you now. Thailand simply isn't a country to invest in.

Imagine all the potential regulations they may need to comply. Doing business in the west is a struggle and costs are often passed on to the companies, something they aren't interested in doing for foreigners in Thailand. Just a guess.

Can we all agree we like seeing him get slapped but at the same time agree this is stupid idea? That seems to be all we need to say here.

Issuing these to foreigners seems to go against the spirit of the law so my question is has anyone gone to court over their usufruct and won? If you can simply get any Thai person to buy land in their name and sign away the rights to you then foreign ownership is easy and everyone would be doing it. It begs the question too why people setup nominee companies if all you need is the usufruct.

I just started a topic of this when I saw a YT video of some Finish guy who has done something similar with a usufruct. Maybe to the letter of the law this appears legal but I have no faith this would stand up in court. What he did was buy the land first then marry her and probably did a prenup. It's an obvious attempt to skirt the spirit of the law so I wouldn't trust it in the case of divorce. Just my 2 cents.

always throw this garbage back in their face. These people throw out these comments to virtue signal but are they never going around handing out cash to taxi drivers? NEVER! it's always moral posturing to make themselves appear as better people than you are. So sick of it.

Not Farang. Kaek. Get your racial slurs in order sir.

Sorry those are the facts. Bury your head in the ground or face them.

Overwhelming majority of shootings in the US are blacks and hispanics. As the UK population shifts you're going to have a more violence and the police will eventually start carrying guns. This is baked in at this point.

what about the police being armed means the populace will gets too? The real problem is accidental shootings.

No, the US population is far more criminal and even they have the right to own guns, plus millions of guns in circulation, leaky border with Mexico etc... UK would have much better results.

maybe it's time relocate out of the barn and in to a house.

25k? how is that even possible?

there's just this feeling of lawlessness in Thailand and it's cheap to stay here for a long time. That's enough right there to attract the worst elements. I don't know what Thailand could do except profile people and deny them entry but that would be bad look for them though. It's a bad position to be in for all of us.

The women in the video goes to length to say there are many good foreigners but they're also having many problems too. I think the Thai's are fair enough but if it goes on they'll probably start feeling if it's even worth it. I don't blame them or anyone else but Thailand simply does attract these types.

This Israeli guy stole some packages from this woman and threw something at her through the gate. Total nut job. Looks like he got arrested eventually. Thai people are getting sick of this crap. A narrative is certainly forming. We need to get these losers out of here ASAP.

Have you seen Biden's new tax plan? It's a disaster. Trump doesn't feel like he's entitled to other peoples money and that means a whole lot to me. I can also stand not seeing my state of Colorado become a dumping ground for latin American peasants and infinity immigration. Unless you need to feel like a good person in your liberal American community or want government welfare there's no practical reason to vote for Democrats anymore.

Trump pissed off all the right people and lowered my taxes. That's good enough for me.

Nice job you idiots. Of course this was going to happen. Anyone with a brain can see how to fix this problem but no progress is ever made.

Reading the comments on Twitter. "Phuket is basically the land of foreigners." 830 likes and goes on to explain how they're working and taking jobs, Thai's are only the hired help. (yeah that's the law dude!). Then this non-Thai women gets 550 likes with "remember my words, good Farang rarely exist in Thailand". It's goes on and on. Thai's are getting pissed in Phuket with mass tourism and I don't blame them honestly.

that would be true but Thailand doesn't enforce any road rules whatsoever so everyone has given up long ago on such ideas. If you expect cars to stop for you and yield you will get hit with 100% certainty.

That Twitter account is trying to cause trouble. They said he didn't check on the injured motorcyclist but cut the clip seconds before that would have happened. They also say "Farang again". He knows what he's doing. Btw, driver doesn't look European to me but it's hard to tell. Having said that the drivers didn't look too interested in the injured driver when the exited the car. Many Thai people behave this way to when they get into accidents too (slowly come out of the car and look around cautiously, notice the injured rider but inspect the car first etc...)

She appears like an entitled b-atch in the video. Probably wasn't happy the guard didn't do exactly what she wanted and threw a fit. I think she got what she deserved.
