I’d like to know what recourse if any a tenant would have if any of these were violated by the landlord?… 

 

 

It's a very murky area. The best landlord/tenant relationships are based on mutual trust. I consider myself lucky to have a landlord where everything is verbal. No security deposit, and if anything goes wrong it gets fixed by his agent at no cost to me. In return, I look after his property and pay my rent three months in advance. Win win.

Are you sure these rules are coming out May first, and not April first?

Rule #2 is in direct conflict with the proposition a tenant is entitled to quiet enjoyment of the premises. I would have thought 24 hours notice of a visit would be normal courtesy.

Good for him. He gets happiness from what he does. The gift is the blessing of the giver.

I hate that word Farang 

So if that's the case maybe Thai women should also be checked 

To insure they are marriage for the right reason for Love not Money 

Actually, it is not as pejorative as the Japanese gaijin or the Chinese gweiloh, both which imply an inferior species. Simply means you are not Thai.

Good job i am not planning to get married again. 

One wife not enough for a guy in a wheel chair? " Ah but a man's reach should exceed his grasp...."

Make sure the house is equipped with a gun rack.

If you are getting it from a Thai male, nothing to it. Just a bit of extra communication, although I don't reciprocate to avoid misinterpretation.

With a Thai female, very different. While she may not be indicating she wants you to get into her pants on the spot, she is indicating interest. Up to you.

I needed a hook. Around five months ago, the government here announced that they were going to raise the price of smokes significantly. That was it! I knew that the price was going to go up on a Monday, so I only bought smokes until that Sunday evening, and when I went to bed that night, I broke all the smokes and washed then hid the ashtrays.

 

 

My cold turkey method ( over 30 years ago ) was going hunting in the backblocks of NSW, Australia with one pack of cigarettes. The nearest shop was about 150 km away. Too ####ing ridiculous I should drive that distance for an addiction.

I've found Americans to be mostly friendly and engaging. Having said that, there's a case to be made for staying away from them in bars. Trigger-happy, whether they have guns or not.

The OP is now out of nicotine addiction, and is starting to taste food properly again. If he has regular cardiovascular exercise, his lung capacity will increase to normal in the next 1-2 years. His risk of lung cancer will decline to that of a non-smoker over the next ten years. Good work, keep it up.

Which reminds me, he'll probably enjoy sex more as well.

It depends on whether the wife/GF understands income and expenditure as Mr. Micawber did. If they don't, it's advisable to control the money flow yourself.

The big trap in Thailand is when they start borrowing - I've left no room for doubt with my GF it's over if she does, because she doesn't need to.

I've only ever borrowed money once for a house mortgage, and that was nearly 50 years ago.

Sex is either the number between 5 and 7 or what coal used to come in. It's been a while for me too so not positive which.

You're from New Zealand, right?

Life is tricky....in Europe the cuties know about the extraction fan but barely can cook an egg...and over there, lucky you, you got a cutie to cook tasty penangs for you but will not get HIGH on extract ......still I'd rather have a gal who will not extract then one who cannot cook !!...Enjoy...

The kitchen is outside in many Thai households. Which actually makes sense if you think about it.

"if possible" was the word. It becomes less possible the longer the rate drop lasts. I prefer to invest my money and play the rate change game

I was referring to your "short time" word play, and the claim it was inadvertent.

that only works if the rate is bad for a short time--no pun intended

Like hell.

Australian dollar has dropped about one baht over the last month. I just pick my time to transfer funds.

Phuket is acquiring quite a reputation.

Ju Jutsu is a Japanese martial art, not Thai. There are training facilities for it in most countries. Like another poster, I suspect the son's motivation in returning to Thailand is other than just training. Perhaps he has found horizontal wrestling as well.

Now you will have to help me with this because I forget what it is. I can remember that it is something that a man and a woman do together, right. I do remember that it was something that I used to do but it has been that long I just can't remember how to do it anymore

Now now. Just go to a farang bar in Thailand, and you will find plenty of therapists to help you remember.

Ive heard they're not interested in people who just go away for short trips, sometimes have two dwellings, re-registering multiple times. 

Check for yourself but I'd guess it's been driving them crazy.

Som nam na.
