Most A/C shops install. I went to one years ago, 4pm (thinking they would come next day) they followed me home, installed brackets on the outside wall of balcony, extended the pipe work, up and running by 7pm.
Probably to late now but you can buy a whole book of rental agreements from many shops for a few baht, if needed just get him to fill in with a made up rent and room number. Job done. you can also download one and print it off.
Yes it is recommended but, in 5 yrs my IO have never checked and I would be interested to know of anyone that has been, as the rule states "2 months BEFORE applying" no rule to say otherwise.
Months at a time ?? Only 2 months before and then you can withdraw the lot once you have applied, in 5 yrs I have never had to show the 400k after i applied.
The bit that I find worrying is "In case of disputes between customer and service providers, OFFICIALS will act as mediators" that could lead to shake downs, still maybe better than getting the cr@p kicked out of you by staff.
Said one female worker "Those in the trade are merely offering what little they have to make ends ends meet." also from the link, 'customers will have the right to also refuse services' Phew that's a challenge "..and will support for sex workers occupational development" That's good news
