  1. Updated, with the help of ChatGPT... Non legal approach. That would be a last resort. We also recently have proper management, things are a lot better and more transparent than before.

     

    Phased Upgrade of Common Area Floors

    We are initiating a phased renovation of the common area flooring, walls, and ceilings on each floor — including hallways, elevator entrances, and stair landings.

    To ensure fairness and make the most of our budget, priority will be given to floors with the highest percentage of common fee payments. This approach rewards responsible owners and encourages greater community participation in maintaining and improving our shared living environment.


    Lift Keycard
    Only paying owners get access. Non-payers must use stairs. Cheap RFID upgrades available.


    Parking Sticker System
    Annual sticker issued only to payers. No sticker = blocked/booted vehicle. Unlock fee (e.g. 200 THB) applies.


    Priority Repairs
    150 thb member. 500 thb non member.

  2. For an old condo, where only around half the owners pay common fees, what are some measures to incentivise owners who don't pay? 

     

    Some ideas,

     

    - Upgrade lift with keycard access. Keycard for fee payers.

     

    - Priority for floor, common area renovation to floors who have majority fee payers

     

    - No voting rights to non fee payers

     

    Not sure if these are allowed here, but would be great to get some feedback/ideas.

    OK, all interesting. 

    I've always been spouting that the METV must be applied for in home country or permanent resident status. 

    Please update when you receive your visa. 

    Hope they don't give you a SETV as that's equiv to visa exempt entry days wise. 

    Yeah, I thought the same, was surprised to see it as an option, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

    The e-visa website does not filter what options are available to you based on your passport.  The rules about METV only being available from your home country or where you have permanent residence are still in force.  You're going to be wasting the application fee if you apply for a  METV outside of your home country.


    Well, it wasn't an option before, now it is. Logically, if it's not an option, it shouldn't be an option, but T.I.T, so, you might be right. That said, I was chatting with someone a few weeks back that insisted it was now an option, when outside your home country... I think they were from the UK.

    I guess I could have to eat the extra fee, not a huge deal, just a bit frustrating and confusing.

    Out of interest. Previously the METV could only be obtained in your passport country or country where you have permanent resident status. 

    Is that your situation? 

     

    A report of what you needed to apply for the e-Visa would be hellful


    Yes, I thought this too, I was only able to apply for METV in the past in my home country. 

    But, it's there now, as an option... I just thought I may as well apply for it, over the single entry, as the requirements for it in the past were pretty standard... no 200k thb, or every night booking... Again, this is not mentioned when you chose it.

    Thanks for having the huevos to come back and close the loop.  But how did you sort it, for the benefit of others who may come up against it?

     

    I have the funds, but had to use a business account along with business documents proof, also have condo proof. Just a lot more paperwork involved.... I'll probably go for the DTV eventually, but you need around $16k, cash, in the bank for months... I'll need to liquidate some assets for that, so it's just a timing thing.

    These have been the stipulations for the multi-entry tourist visa, METV, for years and years.


    I just checked chatGPT and you're right! 

    That said, 

    - I applied for METV a few years back, and wasn't asked for 200,000thb proof
    - I wasn't asked for every night booking proof
    - This wasn't stated on the E-Visa booking form... all it says is "The difference in fee will not be refunded, if the officer grants a single entry visa instead of the multiple entries visa you applied for."

    They need to update the tooltip.

    I see that some posters want vaping to be allowed. Here are some facts about vaping harms:
    • Vaping can cause lung damage. Research shows that vaping allows tiny particles to be inhaled deep into the lungs. ...
    • Vapes contain toxic chemicals. ...
    • Nicotine in vapes is addictive. ...
    • Vaping causes breathlessness. ...
    • Vapes contain cancer-causing chemicals. ...
    • Vapes can burn you. ...
    • Vaping can cause nicotine poisoning.
    • Asthma. Vaping can make you more likely to get asthma and other lung conditions. 
    • Lung scarring. 
    • Organ damage. 
    • Etc.

    Ok, by that logic, alcohol and cigarettes should also be banned. They're both worse for your health. 

    You could also argue that e-cigarettes are beneficial for smokers, not as good as quitting, but better than regular cigarettes are more toxic. 

    That said, random Chinese vapes could be worse, all the more reason for proper regulation.
