  1. Ours was set up by our family lawyer who was many years ago my MBA student and I coached her to get her Ph.D. No charge. To be honest I have no idea of cost, shouldn't be too much it's all very mechanical and straight forward. Keep in mind that (as with many things in Thailand) the local land title head may have a personal view on this subject and only allow it to be done within his personal beliefs. Very possible and not much you can do to fight this.
  2. And should get, from the Amphur office, a separate document called a 'Certificate of Change of Name'.
  3. I have one on my son's land (but the intent is so that son's scaly greedy in laws can't twist son's wife to sell the land if my son passes away). Our usufruct has no stated expiry date, it does automatically cancel upon my death. Land cannot be sold or sub-divided or developed (even by my son) without my written approval which must be done at the land office where the chanut and usufruct are based. This must a written/sined/witnessed addendum to the existing usufruct document already attached to the actual chanut document (land title document).
  4. Maybe 15 years ago a foreigner (not luk krueng) who had gained Thai citizenship was appointed to the main Thai Inter. BOD. Many other BOD members protested 'not Thai' as required by the regulations. He was removed very quickly.
  5. Well perhaps the aid should be coordinated by a neutral specific body but supported by taxpayers funds, and the funds authorized by a vote of the full parliament?
  6. Or she and trump, or she and marjorie taylor green, or she and eric trump, all as stupid and dangerous as each other.
  7. Yes It's possible to change the family (namsakoon) of a Thai person to a typically Western family name. My experience: My adult adopted son, 21 year old. He wanted to change his family name to mine. I was happy with his request. - Wrote a letter to Ministry of Interior asking for permission to change his family name name to my family name. - Permission to change came back within about 1 week. - Took permission letter to local amphur office, 30 minutes later new ID card, name changed in Tabien Baan book. - Polite lady asked him if he had a passport. He did, she reminded hime to go quickly and get a new passport. All done no pain whatever. Different example but proves name change is possible and painless.
  8. XE midrate 17:00 22 Oct 2022 = 24.17Baht to 1AUD.
  9. Thanks for being as negative as possible, how kind of you. Interesting that you don't know my family but you know what they will do. I guess you are clairvoyant. Your actually wrong on all points. My Thai son and his Thai wife both have good education and they are very focused on good education for their kids and every Baht spent brings value to that cause. No they won't just go ahead and do a traditional ation. In fact some time ago some outer family members mentioned to my son they wanted him to organize an expensive cremation and party when I go to make the whole family look rich/important. With me present (I speak plenty of Thai) he told them that wouldn't be happening and why (every Baht to be saved for education of my grandchildren). They all backed off. My son is no pushover, he (and his wife) will respect our discussions, I have no doubt about that.
  10. Not really, Your a brave man, I got lost after your first 10 words. Just me, but I can now spell computer and windows.
  11. I would spend only a tiny amount of the $10,000 to preserve as much as possible into the education fund I've created, years ago, for my 3 Thai grandchildren. No new cars, no new clothes, no new anything. Not needed. And my Thai sons knows that my cemation must be on a strict small budget. Why? To preserve as much as possible into the education fund I've created, years ago, for my 3 Thai grandchildren.
  12. Plus there seems to be an assumption that the spouses of the APEC attendees would want to see this and will be impressed. Questions: - Does 'spouses' include male spouses of female APEC attendees? - Will they all have an individual limousine, uniformed chauffeur and attendants? And how many will be able to speak English or the native language of the spouse they are transporting / escorting? - Will there be a tour guide at the museum and how long will the lecture be about each item on display? Perhaps a minimum of 1 hr per item might impress (or totally bore) the spouses. - Will attendance at the museum be compulsory? Or perhaps it's assumed they will all automatically follow the schedule like good little official visitors. Or perhaps that means they will all do as they are told/as organized.
  13. He's had a very long time to shows good strong leadership skills, with the capability to control renegade / corrupt Thai politicians but ... . A little late now. On a one to one social basis he's a very pleasant man with good communication skills and he speaks perfect English. Sure he's got very good credentials in finance and economics (he won 2 international awards), but when he was with the dems he/they had no impact. He's had several bouts of recurring illness. He's known as not being corrupt. Is he known as adding strong valuable policies which provide a better quality of life to the poorer country folks? Doubt if they've ever heard his name.
  14. LG big cpacity machine. We have same, now 11 years old, still works perfectly, never had any problem.
  15. Ahh, you're so sweet, you qualify for the magic version of customer experience.
  16. To the OP. Much information and I'm guessing (my guess only) this levaes you without a specific/factual answer. Call the insurance company or go to their office (major office), ask them for specific clear answers and ask for an e.mail confirming whatever answers they give you.
  17. ***** This case is in Thailand ***** .
  18. A few CEOs of very major industries might earn such amounts but very very few. I've worked with 2. I won't reveal their names / companies but here's some hints: - Perhaps group head of national oil, gas and more..... - Perhaps group head national cement and building materials and allied industries, massive operations/company names in Thailand and very very big and highly successful branches abroad..... And of course enormous responsibilities and enormous challenges.....
  19. From above: "How could a UK PM be so obviously illogicall, especially in her first speech?" I amaned this sentence to add in the bracket: How could a UK PM be so obviously illogicall, (this is not even common sense), especially in her first speech?
  20. UK friend (well experienced in the business in the UK) opened a restaurant in Pattaya. What he hadn't anticipated was the high level of skimming of receipts, theft of food/raw materials and theft of finished meals not ordered but prepared and put aside (hidden) for staff to take home, not paid for. Also theft of furniture and equipment. Tally up the bills presented to customer compared to cash in hand every shift/day. Always up to 50% short. He tried to implement a rule that he alone checked bills before bill goes to customer, he alone takes the money, money locked in a drawer, he alone has keys. Staff rebelled with '...you not nice you don't trust your staff, don't want to work in place like this, no fun'. He discovered that he couldn't take a day off/go home early, if he did theft increased substantially. Also discovered that asking questions was a waste of time, no answers whatever.
  21. Perhaps before you start the business you should do some research as to what legal/local regulations responsibilities / minefields are involved which you need to get right before you open.
  22. Seems to me it's more than that. From the very first time I saw/heard her I was somewhat shocked about her discussion points, attitudes and arrogance. Then she won the PM vote, first up / day one she announced a major tax cut policy which is not logical, and toxic to folks on minimum income struggling to survive and feed their kids/keep the lights on. A nasty tax policy which would create big reductions in tax receipts, but she made zero mention of how the reduction in tax receipts would be replaced by tax receipts from other policies. Not mentioned at all, by a PM, first speech. How could a UK PM be so obviously illogicall, especially in her first speech? Not surprised she only lasted a very short time, now in the history books as the UK PM with the shortest ever tenure in history.
  23. There are options; the disposable blue shavers (2 in a pack) from 7/11 (have their own brand name, they don't use the Gillette name), handle a little shorter than Gillette/BIC etc., but that's not a problem. The design is not attempting to copy Gillette. Work out at 20Baht for 1 razor, excellent shave, about 10 shaves per shaver. Been using them for about 5 years. Most but not all 7/11 stores have them. Worth a try. For real Gillette, if you visit Malaysia, Singapore, China and even Australia you'll find real Gillette shavers (all models) are 40 to 50% cheaper than in Thailand
