Don't you know you can own a condo in a freehold arrangement as long as at least 51% of the units in that buildings are owned by Thai nationals? In other words, you own a percentage of the building's land, given that the total percentage owned by foreigners doesn't exceed 49%. Happy to help.

Darn, you must be a genius, because the meaning of your observation deeply, profoundly eludes me. Oh well...

If the authorities are truly trying to weed out the expat numbers--as some around here claim--then going after any land purchased through a nominee arrangement is the next step to come. Personally, I wouldn't sleep sound at night knowing my property is a hostage in the hand of the Thai government.

Too lenient. Hang, draw and quarter.

"The video, now widely circulated online, begins with the woman asserting that Israeli tourists play a crucial role in bolstering Thailand's economy. Instead of following the simple request, she suggested that their contribution to tourism should exempt her from such local customs." Inflammatory BS. I read Hebrew and I can share she didn't write her contribution to tourism should exempt her from such local customs, rather that her foot was injured and that was the reason she refused to take off her shoes to which she got a permission for the owner. Whether true or false, it beyond my knowledge.
