That's silly!
 
Cats are predators but they certainly stop when they're full.
 
If you can't get into the spirit of my OP,  please just don't post.
 
I was looking for advice, not negative and unhelpful comments.
 

For me B200 vs going to CW is well worth it. The fee, including the B200, is receipted on proper paper and is an excellent service I've used many times.
I cannot believe someone is questioning the validity and use of this essential service!?
You cannot get a re-entry permit yourself at the airport.
 
I suggest the mods remove the title as it's misleading?
 

Because in bed they are not lazy.

Did I? If you say so champ. 

Why were they allowed to put the so called extra seats in the vans? The vans come with the allowed seating ,The Law/government let them get away with this extra seat scam for years.Remember ,Safety first or is that Greed?

Most of the vans are commercial vans and then carpet, windows,as many seats as you want and seat belts are added after market its half the price compared to genuine people movers that have side airbags with the whole seating area beefed up and that's why they are so deadly, the side intrusion bars are designed for boxes, not humans.

You protest too much. Your "friends" have played you.

I wouldnt be suprised if you have been played.

Most solicitors are legit and legal firms can be checked out.  

Telling people to do their own paperwork on a major deal is not the wisest advice but you can do what suits you.

 

 

 

If anyone had the ability to hand over to you a dud yellow book whilst the real one in his name is in his safe it'd be a lawyer! And not the juristic gal that is with you at the land office

You won't even know untill 20 years later when you try to sell it!

I want to be there when the yellow book is issued!!! At the source

But hey thai lawyers are straight shooters LMAO!

On the other hand, I sold a condo in October 2016 to a gentleman from Singapore so I guess they haven't all fled.  Sold a condo last month to a Thai gentleman so maybe Thai buyers shouldn't be overlooked.  But, by all means, do continue to rent--I have a condo I rent out and I am glad there are plenty renters!

How easy is it to get past the desk to the real office? I see in the OP you said there is a 'no entry' gate.

If that's true then perhaps it something that has just been implemented.

Putting a lot of trust in 1 or 2 Thais who could be playing you.

 

20000 baht is small compared to being conned out of 3m.

Played like you mean they put everything in their own name whilst you are their cross checking your name against every document?

That's a vivid imagination however

Ever heard of a crooked lawyer?

we are dragging this off topic into yet another real estate thread

Over and out

I only know what I'm gleaning from comments herein, but I can confirm from experience that the old immigration office in the main hall used to provide re-entry permits without an additional fee:

 

I now gather the following:

- There is a desk in the immigration hall that provides a special re-entry service (24hrs, photo and paperwork provided) for a 200 baht fee.

- There is an 'ordinary' immigration office tucked away a few metres behind this desk which provides the re-entry permit without fee (presumably not 24hrs).

 

Final and conclusive confirmation of the latter by anyone would be appreciated.

You got it right. Many are not aware that the tiny office is behind the immigration counter so they go straight to the the guy that charges them 200 even if you have everything filled out, the 200 baht is just a "walking" fee because he had to get up and walk 10 meters.

Not bad work if you can get it [emoji15] [emoji15]

If thais didnt use solicitors then they wouldnt be in business. Property deals are regular business.

For those that are overseas juristic has a power of attorney form or you can just use the power of attorney yourself

. Why on earth would a thai that can read and write want an lawyer?

But hey you want rip up 20k go ahead knock yourself out!

Here is a good summary

" if Land Registry register the condo in your name then it is yours, no money is outstanding and the decision can't be challenged.

So if this is true then you can do it yourself - but you must speak excellent Thai.

My main things to look at are:

Don't pay any money before the papers are ready to be finalised at Land Registry, just show a bank cheque beforehand and hand it over on signing.

Make sure the condo you buy is the one you look at. All number on the papers are old Thai numbers.

Ask the condo management about outstanding fees, don't just rely on the condo form.

As said before ensure you have a Thai who speaks good English and Thai to help you and whom you trust. Tend to agree that rules out using a lawyer!

True have very cheap hi speed. In the meantime you can use 4g which has decent speed. Ais has around 10gig for 500baht

15,800 vans registered nationwide......100 fitted with gps npw.......some vehicles not being used currently were being fitted with gps.........does that mean 15,700 vehicles are not currently in use ?...

A solicitor needs to process the paperwork.  

Writing I own it on the back on your hand not so good.

 

You think thais pay for solicitors?

Again I repeat for those that were duped into using a lawyer

. NO!

 However feel free to donate 20k the lawyer won't tell you that you don't him lol

Fink we all no that, but I like to get stuff out the way and settle after going through all the immigration crap to relax......There prices are daft..........

Paying a lawyer when buying a condo is just a big donation!

Either keep building or take it down floor by floor.
 
It's just embarrassing now!

Start at the end of walking street bahli hi and cycle to cozy Beach and than along jomtien beach.. Nice views

This has been good for trump. If anything it has diverted attention away from a very rocky start

Well,you mad if you pay that for a beer.

Same here, walked past everyone to a little office and handed my form to an immigration officer, no extra charge

 
So it's a scam, making a killing because the photo did not comply with the regulations.
 
Next, it's a scam / making a killing because it's raining?

Not sure that it's worth 200 baht to fill in a couple of forms, in a country where the daily wage is only 300 baht. The land transport department charged me only 10 Baht for a similar service. 
 
Airports have a captive audience, so profiteer on pretty much everything they sell.
