Intolerant, it is better to understand than to reject out of hand

Politics is universal

Theory is useless. Its not worth at all to be involved and injured in this kind of political matter. Please ask yourself why you do come to thailand , for this <deleted> or for holiday with beauty experience ??

You mean, back to the jungle? Feel free... 

If you can't think, than you still are not ready to adapt yourself in thailand or other asian similar country. 

Be smart farang with smart sensibility. Your freedom can kill you if you don't know where and how to use.

Alianware I respect your opinion even if I don't fully agree with you, that is part of what democracy is about.

It appears no one really knows what triggered this argument but violence is not the answer. Thai history demonstrates this and everyone needs to learn from history.

No one wants to see violence at any "peaceful" demonstration. How would the pro democracy demonstrators feel being head butted by the RTP or other factions opposed to the demonstration.

I agree foreigners should avoid getting involved in something they are not part of and agree in this case it would have been smarter to just walk away. Then again Narathiwat could have just walked away and left it alone as well. Perhaps he felt he had no option if it meant losing face.

I see Thais demonstrating in Germany but also notice your comment (Yes, but you are in other country with other rule and other culture. Dont live in other world with your whole culture. You must adapt yourself). Thais are free to voice their views and opinions in other democratic countries yet you seem opposed foreigners doing the same in Thailand.

Lets keep protests going for a better society that supports democracy and without violence.

I understand. But every theory is useless. As foreigner thai authority or even law told you already not to get involved in political matter. 

The man was angry and he must habe his reason. I quess he hears something unpolite or something bad for his party from the russian man. 

Don't ask for democracy, which still not 100% exist in Thailand. And even in democracy country, never get involved into political matter. This is a basic rule for all foreigners with no exception.

I sorry for you, stop your racist comments please.

 

This is not a racist comment. If you are farang (foreigners) the law told you already to avoid and prohibited you to be a part of political matter. And why you think my comment is racist ? You misunderstood.

I have lived in Thailand for 30 years. I understand very well how Thai people have trouble controlling their emotions and are prone to violence when provoked. Personally I would have avoided the situation in the video. But there is still no excuse for the physical aggression and blaming the foreigner for what happened, as you appear to be doing,  is a further sad reflection on Thai culture.

This is political issue and cannot be generalize with thai culture. People who attend this demonstration bring emotional against goverment and can explode anytime. Ofcourse it was wrong what the thai man did. But it was more wrong it you as foreigner challange their action and you forget your daughter was with you as well. 

Simply move out from that place and get a cup of coffee in other beautifull place.

No, according to Thailand. Westerners, farangs and the similar sorts are dirty, pesky, infected and have no money. The rest of the world simply does not exist, as far as Thailand is concerned. So yes, just their Chinese paymasters exist, then.

 

I think so too. Until the whole bars area and the dollars are empty and they will suddenly realize that there are still need farangs.

Many of us are here because we don't like the way our own countries are run, or the leaders running them.

 

Don't know which country you come from, but i don't think so that people from western country would like the politic in thailand. They love the weather, the culture,  the beach and the sexy thais. That's all.

You're talking about something totally different.  The OP is asking about setting up a company to own land.

 

OP, As stated this is not really legal but done. Be aware things change, example back in the 90's immigration could care less if you overstayed,  early to mid 2000's this all changed and now overstay rules are very strictly enforced. Same with visas they were simple to get any type of visa even B. Now it's getting harder and harder to meet visa requirements.  If you really want to own, but a condo that you can own legally 100%.

Nothing is illegal. There are plenty of investor who build bought land and build houses and building condo to sell it or to rent it. We are talkong about millions $$ they invested. 

You are allow to buy house as company name and rent it out or invest it to sell someday.

This ia absolut legal !!!

If you have no experience investing money ib Thailand don't make any false statement.

400 k ????  This man is stupid. He should resign from the job.

Any link to relevant laws saying foreigners not allowed to rent out? 

If you don't pay tax and have no company the law says that you are not allow to rent out. You must habe yearly balance sheet !  Ask your lawyer !

That's not true. Anybody can rent out their property, just not on a daily/ weekly basis. Must be for a minimum of a month, or else you need a hotel permit. Paying/ not paying income tax on rentals is a deferent issue

Yes for thai owner but not for farang. 

Don't be happy too quick. Even if Biden wins, most senat who sits in Parlement are Republicans. It won't be easy. Tention with china will not ease so easy.

A German "friend" of mine bought two houses and a truck in "his" company name at a resort town here. He's a 49% shareholder and is stuck outside LOS due to Covid and now his "ex" who is a 45% shareholder in the company is living in one property with her new boyfriend. She knows that she cannot be evicted even if the German came back to Thailand. The other property is empty. The other 6% shareholding is held by a lawyer/nominee. Even if buyer/s could be found for the propreties (totalling over 12 million Baht on purchase) the only way the German guy is going to get anything back is by taking a massive haircut to get himself out of the mess. Even though the ex signed resignation documents on formation of the company, she is holding the German to ransom unless she gets to keep property or gets a significant payoff. Be warned about going company route.

That could happen if you prepared your paper wrong since the first time.  Your partner or whoever have to signed the sell share holder document since first time before you even take her/his name to company. 

If you do it later, than that is your fault.
