  1. Using common sense as you describe means nothing here when drivers speed thru red lights at cross walks and hit and kill people that are using common sense weekly here. Generally not much in the way of a penalty happens in the majority of cases and often its police or politicians involved. If the story doesn't get traction on social media then its just a fart in the wind generally.
  2. its nice sentiment to think Thailand should follow suit with any other country to reduce speeds and risks to pedestrians and other drivers but when the population ignores all traffic signs, laws and common sense when driving, coupled with the lack of police enforcement and absent punishment from the court system nothing will change here. Police actually see and watch people breaking the driving laws and make no attempt to do anything. The closest you can get is a roadblock check point and those dont do a whole lot either. Throw in the number of unlicensed drivers and underaged children riding 4 to a scooter weaving through traffic and its just a matter of time until disaster strikes. You've even seen instances where hi-so kids run over and kill police and everyone in the system from fellow police to court judges and politicians look the other way and help them evade arrest and leave the country, making no attempt to even list them with interpol as a red notice. Pathetic and shameful mentality at best
  3. Yes you need a person thats good at face to face issues and a second person that knows how to create and manage the budget process for on going maintenance projections and planning. No one wants to pay the cost of those 2 staff to get qualified people. Then the second battle is convincing the condo owners about the importance of the long term plan, and why the cost to fund the hoa fees will increase correctly. Real estate agents and purchasers don't want high fees and owners don't like to fund these fees
  4. Not based on a research study i did before covid for a real estate investment group here. Are all condo management's bad, no but most are not properly funded to support the structure over a normal life span of 25 years. If yours is run properly thats great as long as you stay on top of the meetings and require transparency in budgeting and financial management.
  5. When I say proper management and budgeting lacks in most buildings.its not just the day to day interaction and attentative approach to dealing with owners or tenants. Management should be planning and budgeting a 25 year plan for the maintenance on the building common areas, amenities and exterior envelope of the bldg. Most dont budget past 3 to 5 years if that. Many just plan on monthly maintenance items and then when a roof fails or an elevator needs to be replaced or pool relined they hit you with a special accessment or cut corners and do marginal repairs or none. The exterior, amenities and common areas are the first thing people see and will kill a resale before anyone steps foot into your condo not to mention affecting your owned space from leaks or other issues occurring outside your space
  6. Only if they are managed and budgeted properly to maintain the condition of the whole bldg and very few are.
  7. Isnt that's your nap time grandpa
  8. I've said that all along, its down to the condo docs and there a variety of versions out there. I did a research paper for an large investor in bkk just before covid on condo management and cap ex planning capabilities and of the 10 they had me study, 6 had no plan, 2 didn't know what it was and only 2 had any plan and they were only for current year with no real long term plan. Condo docs were handled equally badly on most, some with crazy stipulations on non owner occupied units. Condo owners need to educate themselves as the financial exposure to under budgeted buildings is frightening
  9. Then have the mod close the posting if your satisfied with your actions
  10. I voted I'll do what Im suppose to do based on what the laws actually require. Im tracking the laws both here and what exemption the DTA from USA outlines. I have been very careful to track pension money movements from origin issue to my US bank and then onward to Thailand. Thay way I have the appropriate info to act once the dust settles.
  11. Airbnb have been around for number of years now and become an issue at a number of resort destinations. Yes the Condo docs can be boiler plate and then amended as needed to deal with the specific condo building structure, ownership of amenities, condo maintenance or HOA fees, Capital Expense and Maintenance program and budgeting plan and any other issue relevant. They can be amended by membership vote and are filed with the land office. They can include stricter regs than the Condo Act but can not contradict or lessen the Condo Act. As I have said many times now. If the condo docs call for information on tenant or occupancy then you must comply or face whatever penalty is outline in the docs, if there is one listed. Every condo owner should have a copy to refer to and if the Juristic person is out of bounds thats a separate issue and can be dealt with but you cant give a boiler plate answer to that without seeing the specific condo docs and requirements.
  12. If you are or were in a management position for condominiums then you know quite well every condominium has its condominium regulations specific to that facility. it is a legal binding document signed when you purchase the condo and fully enforceable by law. It can contain addition requirement separate from the condo minimum act. If thos condominium regulations say they need tge name and identification of every tenant then end if story it required and you know that. Are you require to show what you paid or what you rent for then no. If it says no short term leases and your required to show that then end if story. That's all I have to say on this and if you have the background you claim you know what I write is correct.
  13. Every condo is different to what the building regs are and specific to that building . There is not 1 set for every condo structure. There is one condominium act of tge govt but each condo has their own set of regs specific. Both are legal documents. Do a bit more research
  14. I have no way of knowing exactly whats in the condo documents for that building nor do you. Tge thai condo regulations are separate and they do not have to match, condo buildings can have additional regs specific to them. It will be spelled out in those docs so you go try and find that yourself for that building then you will know. If the condo regs for that bldg require them then they need to be provided or the owner of the condo is in non compliance and what penalty is outlined comes into effect. Have you ever managed a condo building before? I have for 11 years so I do have a bit more knowledge than just guessing
  15. You are the one going in circles and talking non sense. If there is a reg in the condo docs or condo laws it applies to both parties. Penalties are a separate secondary issue and would be outlined in the regs and it would not be one sided as failure to follow the regs of the condo have penalties for non compliance outlined. Sure if the jurisdiction person is going outside the regs and making up their own rules that's a different issue
  16. I understood it completely. You cant have a legal document or reg (in this case condo regs) that requires something to be provided by the condo owner and then say it only applies to the management side but not the owner side. Its a binding legal contract. Any penalty is secondary for non compliance and the jurist person or company has the power to enforce it.
  17. yeah a little fame mixed in with yaba and a touch of alcohol to top off and it will do that to you. Yeah I hope they did do a drug test as his behavior appears to warrant it.
  18. I do swift wire transfers from US bank (Wells Fargo) direct to Krungsri, no BB involved. I send in USD and exchange at arrival at Krungsri. Wells Fargo charges $25 flat rate for swift except for large transactions then its $15 (?) and Krungrsi gives the current quoted exchange rate with no fees.
  19. Explain where you contradict yourself is easy, read what you wrote. you need to go back to Google Academy of Law cos you didnt get the basics the first time around. The regulations or laws are what they are, if they exist for this situation. To claim there's a law requiring something, anything, but that it only impacts one half of the party involved in the regulation or law but the connected party is exempt is pure nonsense unless it specifically states they are exempt. You go ahead and believe what you want. There's only so much help you can give to stupid. Have a great day
  20. Now thats the most double speak I've read in a while. You may want to read what you wrote again as you contradict yourself badly. Im guessing you got your law degree from the internet
  21. Juristic people are not toothless and can create a few problems for you or your tenants. The legal condo regulations and the condo documents specifically outline their duties and authority so those would be the first place to know what stand you can or should take. If the condo docs say they need the specifics of who is in each unit and whether owner occupied or tenant, then they have a right to request that information. I would not be surprised and it should be there in the docs if its not, for everyone's protection. They are not entitled to know rent amounts but may be required to verify the ease length to avoid illegal airbnb set ups.
  22. block that part out but she has a right as her duties require her to know the lease is correct and not a illegal airbnb. She does not need to know the amount of rent but does need to know occupants names and information and length of lease is correct. I dont think you want her on your bad side as she can create issues for you with other agencies
  23. You continue to deflect in stating I can not comprehend or understand the nonsense you write is humor, probably because it isnt. It may be your inner reflection that your trying to project and it clearly isnt healthy or humorous in most of your posts. Comprehension is something you seem to fixate on but seem you lack in yourself. You compensate by being the person that makes the most replies to your own posts in a circular discussion with yourself. I dont need to see the light as you put it as I am fully capable of detecting trolling for numbers and there is no misunderstanding on that issue as that is exactly what you wrote. You proclaim yourself to be intellectually superior to others especially if they disagree with you as we are incapable of understanding and comprehension. You have even claimed you can only seek out women who are of genius intellect or its impossible for you to interact with them. Even allegedly moved away to find one never to return or post again. But in Bob Smith fashion were right back here within 2 weeks, in reality never having left. Maybe its a matter of your advanced age and lack of going out in public that prevents them from interacting with you or it could just be your personality thats the stumbling block I believe it is highly unlikely that you will post normal topics and have normal interactions with this forum or real people and stay buried in your basement typing away at your keyboard. Have a great day
  24. Someone else's reply to you about what you wrote has nothing to do with copyright's or editing your words in any way shape or form. so you should check yourself. You are seriously a troll just writing to elicit comments to make your total of posts and replies go high. You stated that on one of your very first post on this site. How much AI do you use to compose this drivel? Its sad really that you spend so much time doing this but it is an open forum and people can just start ignoring your writings. There, you got one more reply to add to your totals
  25. From the sound of your post you have not departed but not sure. You can get one at the airport on the way out. If you've left already Imm stamped you as departed and you start over when returning.
