Also I am wondering that even if an owner received a request from the committee, whether they are obliged by Thai law to pass on this information to us.

I forgot to mention the 'key word', or lack of it ... which I didn't see in your post. Juristic Person.

In a nutshell, Thai law, very difficult for moo bans/villages. 

If your village is not registered under a juristic person with the land department ... get out of that committee. Don't do it.

I understand condo owners joining committees, if they have a registered juristic person and at least there is the Condo Act for some directions/Thai law.

But for a moo baan/village, non existing. Only trouble ... no Thai law or foot to stand on.

I have recently joined the committee of a gated village in Pattaya and have assumed the role of secretary.

Don't do it. If you get a chance, get out ... don't ruin your life with 'voluntary' committee things in LOS, it can turn into your living nightmare.

This morning I was taking my soi dog for a walk

...that made me think ... is there such a thing as "... my soi dog?"

Either you own a pet and take care of it in your place or not?

I know that, you know that, we all know that.  However, whilst the military backed, wealthy Thai elite, are busy raping the country, whilst masquerading as a democracy, nothing can be done. 

 

While other countries are building a middle class, Thailand is doing its best to ensure the majority of the wealth is held by a small percent of the population. 

I don't know about Spain, as you replied to it ... but you sum it up 

Bassists are rare ... every band who's lucky enough to even find a Bass player is so happy about it and let them all know 5555

The owner wants the foreigner to come forward to accept responsibility for the damage. 

They know he was drinking at a near by restaurant and drunk, they know he's a foreigner ... they know him.

Why they want him to come forward? Why does the police not just get him, in time before even this article could have been written, next day?

Sounds weird to me. Shouldn't be that difficult to catch an identified farang, with a damaged vehicle and hangover, next morning?

I came here for the cheap women, never thought much of the food.

Food for thought ????

... but something strange happened to me. I start to like Somtam Thai ... out of sudden, after many years not even touching it ????

Now you are being silly. TAT have nothing to do with retirement visa rules. TAT are for tourists.

Please vent your wrath in the correct thread. (I am not saying that your point is wrong - it is just in the wrong place.)

Not really ... if you have a meeting looking for all possible causes for the issue ... then you have to put all angles on the table ... incl. visa rules.

The Baht would be another one, but that's also not TAT's issue ... but real downer for Europeans to travel to Thailand.

... only TAT discussions about multi generation, luxury, family ... obviously just led to another follow up meeting.

 suddenly started to talk about cats. 

I once brought a cat into Thailand before ... and she was clearly on overstay for a few month, if not years ... no one seemed to care!

lol, shows the risk & danger of possible misunderstanding of such a tatoo ????

I totaly agree

i am in the same situation

except for the discos. i am a non smoker so Lucifer and Insomnia are no no for me

Ibar is ok in the sea side open part and Walking street disco (Aka the red car) is a no smoker area

You could go to that place with the red car on the wall ... it's all non-smoking inside

Oh damn, now I read, you already mentioned the red car 555 never mind ????

starbucks is only for the seating, wifi, and atmosphere, which is priced into the coffee. There are much better quality coffees all over the country for a fraction of the cost.

There you go, you got this right.

It's the same as a beer inland or at the door steps of 7/11, it's cheaper than a beer on the beach ... but you pay for the view/location and it's priced in.

Who wants to fly 8,000 miles to see bikinis?

I did before ????

It was a good party town Pattaya ... I think it still is, maybe. But now that I live here ... I only go very rarely & occasionally, and then mostly end up in Insomnia or Lucifer ... but the bar scene ... I hardly find it fun anymore to sit down there and answering the same old 3 questions, especially not with the material sitting behind the bars these days.

But who knows, the next guy who comes here for the first time, still finds it a lot of fun ... it definitely is still much different than the average Euro/US/UK night out ... if you have the dosh for a good holiday.

It's not popular at all in Australia.

I've never been there, so I take your word for it ????

A Starbucks in Sydney or Melbourne? How are they doing?

Just now, freethinker said:

Thailand used to have a perfect offering. Affordable and safe tropical paradise with a slice of naughty nightlife and welcoming locals. Thailand really was a fantastic place to visit. They practically had the market cornered on the affordable paradise front. How did they <deleted> that up? 

 

I blame Starbucks ????

I never buy any Starbucks coffee, but I often see long lines of Thais waiting to be served.  I guess that they must have some special promotions for Thais.

No, that's not it!

The reason you see a long queue of Thais is because you are in Thailand.

If you would be ie. in Dublin, you would see a queue of Irish and if you would be in Amsterdam, a queue of Dutch etc.

Not so difficult. That place is popular around the world ... why do you think they can open store after store around the world?

I never met a girl in Thailand who told me her earnings have dropped 67% 

But should it happen, I just grab a Starbucks with her ????

It's funny ... every one keeps on drumming on TIT ... but no one so far picked up and is talking the bigger picture

... as i.e. where all this evil <deleted> comes from and who is pushing it into the Asian markets?

I am told that if its agricultural land, its 0.15%..

I don't know whether the tax as you mention is a lot higher now or breaking news for 2020.

All I know is for many years, I always hear ... they have to put saparot, or sweet patatoes ... otherwise have to pay a lot of tax for empty land.
