Thanks so much for your 2 comments. 

 

Having thought about them more... back in Jan I was thinking they were very astute business people and are negotiating with us now. When they split the monthly rent between them I dont think its the end of their world. They said that they have closed all their other businesses but have salaries to pay. Probably B.S

 

Your questions:

1. Is your rental fee at a fair market level?

Its high end fair value based on being the best position in town. 

 

2. Is there any impact to their proposed trade from covid that was not apparent in Jan when they signed the lease?

No, same covid situation. We are not in a red zone or anything and no lockdown.

 

 

3. Are they behind in preparing the opening so expect you to cover the shortfall in their income while they finish there fit-out and open? In this case i would not give a reduction.

Its possible but I dont know. A good point you make though

 

4. Did they get their feasibility assumptions on construction cost wrong and spent too much and again want you to support their mistake?

Its possible but again I dont know. They made some quite big changes to my building which I agreed to in the contract. The biggest being that they took out 4 big new windows that we previously installed and knocked out the brickwork under the window frame area. We agreed to it spefically in the contract. After they did this we got a message from them asking if we can store the glass and the frames at our place.... ha ha. A big no to that one. 

 

I think Im going to say to them that they must pay the rent in a few days at the agreed amount and that I will discuss with my attorney and let them know. 

 

What Ive learnt from 20yrs of tenants is that if you give them too much they will expect more down the line. 

 

Your idea is excellent and this is what I want to discuss with my attorney. 

 

I do worry about our deposit being so low. I wonder if we could ask for more if we agree to reduce the rent??

 

Thanks so much for your comments

 

Based on your past experience, if they are asking for a reduction so early in the piece, having signed up not pre-covid but during covid, then covid is just a sham excuse to soften you up. There will be more niggling troubles down the track. Better to bail out now. Call their bluff and say no to a reduction. If they don't like it, they can pack up and start afresh somewhere else. See if they are prepared to do that, with all the modification completed already to suit their business operation. Say no, and let them make the call to stay or leave.

I also felt the same about Taxi drivers in the past, but now we are like best buddies. How did I achieve this feat? I simply walk.

When I discovered the frustration of dealing with taxi drivers, I decided walking was the best solution. It's good for health, it saves me money, reduces my stress levels, and I've heard it's good for the planet. Now, when I talk with taxi drivers, I feel happy talking about the weather, women, how I'm just going to walk to that location five kilometers away, etc... with a big smile on my face!!!

Indeed. When walking along the various beach roads, as songtaws creep past at a snail's pace and honk, and motosi taxi drivers shout, clap or stop to solicit my business, I simply keep walking, smile at them, and say:" I not Chinese. You wait Chinaman!"

I'm not wishing to detract from your point.

 

As an aside I've watched quite a few UK police traffic accident investigation documentaries.

I noticed they now use the term RTC (Road Traffic Collision), changed from RTA (Road Traffic Accident).

 

One officer explained that from an investigators point of view there is no such word as 'accident' - it gives the impression something was unavoidable.
The cause can always be pinpointed - whether driver error, mechanical failure, unmaintained road surface, etc.

In that case you need to delete the word "accident" from the English vocabulary because every action has a definite cause and could have been avoidable, given choices. Maybe "non-intentional" is more appropriate, at least in a legal sense and context.

Germany has tons of restrictions for ENTRY to the country.

Thailand is on a low risk list, little to no requirements for Germans to enter from Thailand.

 

I don't find a chapter about leaving the country.

Practically this is controlled by the entry regulations of the destination country (as Thailand in this case).

Those Germans who were locked up behind the wall for about 30 years would react very sensitive!

In reality neither. Vaccinated people can't catch Covid so can't pass it on. Equally, an unvaccinated person with Covid can't pass it on to a vaccinated person.

 

A vaccinated person passing it on to another vaccinated person has more chance of winning the lottery.

Total nonsense. Please educate yourself first before spouting off false information.

First thing I'd teach them is the word "Drunk" it's Drunk Driving, when you're inebriated you're DRUNK, they got caught driving while drunk. Drink driving sounds like something a bar girl would say.

Drink driving is a compound noun, with the noun "drink" having an adjectival function without being an actual adjective. It is a common term used in the UK and also NZ/Oz / ZA. It is used in legal contexts as well. Maybe one day there will be a similar term describing the use of a mobile phone whilst driving a motor vehicle etc.  Language evolves. Prescriptive or descriptive approach. Ca c'est la question.

Indeed. However, on the bright side, the businesses that are still open now are the ones that DO know how to treat customers properly and deserve any and all the custom they get.

The chaff has all blown away.

Obviously not. Read the case of a fraudulent restaurant overcharge.

Could you explain how someone earning 33,000 baht a month can save millions?

Read in context, learn to comprehend, and you will hopefully find the answer to your question. The millions are meant cumulatively, not individually. And yes, any local earning 33000 baht a month can save from that. Needless to say, it won't last forever - most savings never do. But they should tie you over for a year or so, to survive and cater for basic needs. No car repayments, of course.

Someone call Swampy flight control and check if any planes from Saudi Arabia arrived clandestinely recently and departed in a hurry. They have a nasty reputation for employing hit teams carrying band saws and dismembering their dissident citizens abroad.

Get used to it. You're involved in a very cyclical and competitive industry - at the best of times. Thailand was on the way down rapidly prior to Covid which has only accelerated the decline. Stop crying, find solutions, repair your reservations website (apparently it is not fully operational), streamline your business, and if all of that is just too much for you, get out of the industry. In the interim, do the Thai thing and dlouble your room rates.
