  1. No proper life jacket then, that will keep your head afloat, face up, even if you get knocked unconscious. back to education once more. My condolences to the family.    I can remember when i was 10 yr old a kid in our school drowned near a bridge, in morning assembly, the Headmaster stood and explained to us not to go swimming in the river especially near the bridge supports because of strong currents maybe because of this advise i am still alive.

    Just curious. How on earth did they catch him? Where? Good luck!

    There was a lot of police cars on Koh Chang around the 5/6th Aug, i live up a small soi and one parked outside my gate for about 15 min, ???? the next day i saw 3or 4 police cars waiting for the 7am ferry. They could have simply gone to his last known address.

    Email the British Embassy in Bangkok. They are very helpful. Body cannot be released for cremation without death certificate from town hall and letter of release from British Embassy.They should only release to next of kin Or executor. You can also contact the Foreign and Commonwealth off ice in U.K. who are also involved in overseas deaths of U.K. citizen’s.

    you May well have widow’s pension rights on the U.K. so important to obtain death certificate a d any bank details to identify source of funds.

    good luck

    I agree it is only a direct family member that can get the body released, no matter how long they have been a partner, so your direct family member who got the body released has the death cert.

    Yes, my wife's family will assist, but based on their explanation of the process I just find it to be too easy.

    I was told "we just go to the bank together with the seller, pay the money (the bank get their part and the seller get his part), get the paper (the bank will release the paper), go to the land office and make the transfer.

    It might be this easy, but I wanted to try to obtain some additional information before going to the bank.

    Do not do that, read my post above. edit; i have just re-read your post if the bank has the land title then the owner has borrowed money on the land beware of that one, it means as far as i know the bank owns the land

  5. This is how we did it. 4steps, 1.Owner got the land office to come and mark out the plot 5,000 (if not already done)  2. Go with the owner and a witness for you preferably some one that can speak good english to translate for you , to the Pu Yi Ban they check the land title, and make a simple contract, where you hand over a small deposit say 100,000 baht photos were taken of handing over the money, 3.then go to the land office with owner and a bank check for the balance hand over the bank check when all has been checked , LO called us when the they had completed the transfer, 4 go back to land office and pay 5% tax, you should then get the land title in your wife's name. take photos of all steps and keep a witness with you.  quite easy really. memory has faded a bit but this is about it.

  6. This is the proper set up; left concrete, for shower; center plastic, toilet; right concrete, kitchen. 

    2 mistakes in this was they put shower tank to close to toilet tank and had to cut out some concrete. and the gas pipe was very low so got them to put it up to the eves with a T piece on topIMG_1282.thumb.JPG.b69d1d458e193a8bb32ae8591bd7b030.JPGIMG_1284.thumb.JPG.c92bdedeaade663faf64c9dff3d74675.JPGthe gas pipe is the one on top.

    It seems as though every 7-11 in Thailand employs at least ONE ladyboy. If they aren't too flamboyant, they can usually find some kind of work.  I hate to see anyone starved out of existence. Ironic that Thailand is doubling down on visa regulations to make it difficult for their farang "cash cows" to live here. It is always "ready, FIRE, aim". in Thailand. Absolutely NO thought given to the consequences of actions.

    Seems many also work in call centers AIS to name one.

    So Thai passports are valid 5 years?

    Maybe that explains dropping the charges against the Red Bull fugitive. Didn't he flee in 2015 so that would mean that his passport has expired or will soon? Maybe they dropped the charges so that he can get a new passport?

    It seems you are unaware that very wealthy people can have several passports from different countries he does not need a Thai passport to travel anywhere, including Thailand.
