In my son's case there is no 'nominee' involved and there is no 'lease' involved. -

In fact the name on the chanut was transferred from the development company name to my son's name several years before he got married. -

Further, just to clarify: From my post above "...Deliberately in his name only because his wife's older brothers and sisters make continuous comments that if my son dies the property must go, by law, to his wife and they will insist she transfers ownership to her elder siblings). " Son's brother in law & sister in law both believe they know eveyrthing about Thai law and they insist that if "...my son dies the property must go by law to his wife" Which is of course not true, especially since my son has already made a legal will which bequeaths his property equally / jointly to all of his kids and nobody else. -

An example: My Thai son owns 2 blocks of land (adjoining) in a modern gated village not far from CM city centre, with a large house across the 2 plots. Chanut is in my son's name. (Deliberately in his name only because his wife's older brothers and sisters make continuous comments that if my son dies the property must go, by law, to his wife and they will insist she transfers ownership to her elder siblings). Son has a will bequeathing the property equally / jointly to all his children, wife deliberately not mentioned. Son's wife quite happy with this arrangement because she's frightened of her elder bro & sis and fears they would pressure her (and they would) to give the property to them. Reality is that I gave my son the land and house as a wedding gift and my son and his wife promised they would provide a roof over my head and care for me until my death. To protect me and the kids my son put a usufruct on the chanut. The usufruct: - Is valid/cannot be changed whilst I am living unless I generate the change and sign to approve the change with several witnesses, including my now 18 yo granddaughter (who has been harrassed several times by her aunts and uncles; most recently tried to convince her to stop uni and give the uni tuition fees to them. She hates them). - Property cannot be sold without my written/winessed approval regardless of whether my son is alive or deceased. About 4 years go my son went with local trusted lawyer to local LTO to discuss the above with LTO manager who agreed all possible and legal. Son went ahead and added the usufruct. Son's brother in law and sister in law know that something has been added to the chanut but my son totally refuses to let them see the chanut. -
"... seeing cultural comparatives as competition. " What does that mean. Seems to me that rampant manic capitalism, strongly encouraged in many countries is a main driver of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer situation* and which increases 'the gap', which is part of why I believe in a mixed system: - Selected socialist policies: health care, education etc. - Controlled capitalism. One e.g. China clamped down on Jack Ma and his massively wealthy companies because they were getting too rich. China wants to see much more spread of the wealth. *Globalization was touted as 'the great leveler.' In reality it made the gap bigger.

Not necesssarily, perhaps the other 'owners' had given him the authority (power of attorney) to sell the shares on behalf of all the family owners? -
Nice logical comment, thanks. What makes me laugh is the various criticisms about China etc., being a dictatorship, some would even say communist dictatorship all showing total ignorance, but in reality some in the US are now so vocal about abortion / remove all books with words like gay from the school library. Whatever happened to basic human rights' freedom to make own decisions, freedom of speech etc., (but not if it causes violence etc.). As above 'nice comments' and thanks for sharing.

Several time I've used EMS to send several envelopes of documents and one case of 2 cardboard tubes of X rays from Chiang Mai to Hobart in Autralia. Most times I discovered the envelopes were waiting for pick up at Hobart GPO and the gov't agency advised, within 48 hrs of despatched from CM. Others cases within 72 hrs. No complaints from me re Thai Post.

Copied from above, this is also my understanding re abstain (checked by google search). " When someone confirms that they are abstaining from voting, it means they are voting neither for nor against the motion at hand. They are nevertheless taking part in the election through expressing neither approval nor disapproval for a particular candidate, party or motion."

If a senator abstains is that taken as a YES vote?
