I think you are confused ! yes , you can go through the plasterboard ceiling into the void between ( which usually has the wiring / any soundproofing etc etc ) but you can NOT go through the concrete into someone else's Condo / property . Same applies to walls and if you have a wall that divides you from the communal corridor then you can NOT go through that for any reason - and no , not for a party !!! Communal spaces are " communal " , NOT private !!

since the government control the import and distribution of vaccines , booster shots are currently available after 6 months from the 2nd jab ! This is the policy at present because the unstated fact is they don't have enough vaccines although may change , hopefully in the near future .

not quite ! Remember in a Condo someone's floor is someone else's ceiling so you would not be allowed to go through your ceiling into someone else's Condo above you !! The roof space should be "communal" so that would be be someone extending into "communal" space .

well the previous co-owner of my Condo (which had a large balcony ) sought permission and extended the room into the balcony . There is still a small balcony and no additional building was made apart from a full width patio / sliding door place at the end of the balcony . Previous owner had all the documents and it shows as such on the Chanote / Land Office documents . My lawyer checked it out and all perfectly legal .

his ceiling - top floor Condo

In my Condominium we have a Co-Owner who has extended his Condo into the roof space , above the existing ceiling . Is this legal , even if an " unelected JP or unregistered committee advise the co-owner to go ahead ?? What is the law on this as surely it will change the registered area on the Chanote .

???? Saudi is not Asia ?? I never said " I " would not stop to help/assist if I saw an accident !!

In Saudi we used to say " their in a hurry to meet Allah " !!!! The other thing was if you did have an accident with a local/national , you would always be at fault , because as a foreigner " if you weren't here it wouldn't have happened "!!!!

If they could agree to implement "Civil Unions " , that would be a start and would placate those wishing for same sex marriage somewhat .

yeah yeah , pull the other one ,it's got bells on !!!

I could sort it in a flash but Thai Drivers wouldn't like it and the government would lose face ( and money ) !

This government has not a clue how to deal with the road carnage .

so what happened to last plan / strategy ?? Pattaya to be the Miami / the Las Vegas of Thailand !!! mmmm elephant in the room ?? Do you think we can get the footpaths fixed on South Pattaya Road after 5 years ??? That would be a good start !!

double standards ??? no Thailand doesn't have double standards !! oh except when you go to the zoo, a public park or hot springs or ______

I will certainly get an mRNA booster when available , whether Pfizer or Moderna . Until then I'll continue with my Fah Talai Chon !

Just what Thailand needs to bring the tourists back !

looks fine to me - plenty of trees around to soak up ground water and no real sign of flooding looking at the vegetation. Good ditches . When buying land for residential use just got to be careful what could be built or happen on adjacent land ! I would not buy land in a rice field or next to a river / klong or below /at sea level next to the coast .

Interesting thread, hot topic now .I have been waiting for information on booster shots and since Pfizer latest announcement re only 2 shots not offering full protection against Omicron and antibodies would be reduced to only 50% plus their recommendation to get the 3rd booster shot , then with Omicron here in Thailand this thread and anything regarding booster shots will get major attention !!! It still appears that one has to wait the 6 months in Thailand although this is likely to be because the purchase and distribution of vaccines is government controlled and the fact is , they don't have enough vaccines ! Medical profession states you can get the booster 8 to 12 weeks after your 2 jab .

That's great . I will try a Visa shop

multiply that by at least 10 and you will come up with something nearer the correct figure of infections in the population . A recent paper from Pfizer determined the 2 doses of Pfizer does not fully protest against the Omicron variant and the antibodies are reduced to only 50% . It is absolutely necessary to get the 3rd Pfizer booster shot to enable full protection . As for other Covid vaccines I would expect they fare even somewhat worse than Pfizer or Moderna . Lookout out Thailand ,Omicron is here and spreading fast . Booster jabs are needed and should start now !

would they be as good as and correct as doing through a lawyer - probably much cheaper ?

Can anyone recommend either a private individual or translation service in Pattaya /Jomtien to translate the Rules and Regs for my Condominium ?

have a look on Baht Sold for an expat car with service history . Personally ,I wouldn't touch anything without service history as there is no regulation on what goes on selling 2nd hand cars - clocking / repairing accident or write offs !! It's only after buying and you get to re-register at DLT you may find the numbers don't match ! If you buy a Toyota privately ,with service history and agree a price subject to inspection, then any reputable seller should have no objection to you requesting and paying for the nearest Toyota to give it the once over ! Also City cars like Bangkok tend to get hammered more on wear and tear of the gearbox and brakes .

they go to auction ! Bangkok . The dealers buy them and then resell at much higher prices . If you know what you want and see it advertised or find it at the auction rooms ( you can test drive but have to pay a deposit before bidding) and you have a good Thai friend to do the bidding ,then you can get a bargain because dealers won't go above a trade value .

This states "money transfer companies " , it does not say anything about bank transfers !
