Is this rental contract normal in Thailand?
The landlord is in another country and the listing was only available through the agency. You are right they want the commission for their lazy effort. They are not very attentive to things. They just asked me a few weeks ago if I plan to renew. Am I legally allowed to continue on a monthly basis?

It looks the same but I also have to protect myself. For example if I leave early if the law says they cant seize the deposit why should I accept that?

Is this rental contract normal in Thailand?
Gemini said this: Contract Clauses: Legal Review (Thailand) (Note: This review assumes the Landlord is a 'Business Operator' renting 5+ residential units, subject to the Residential Property Leasing as a Contract-Controlled Business regulations.) 1. Landlord Seizure/Lock Destruction (Clause 5): PROHIBITED. The law explicitly forbids the landlord from unilaterally seizing property, removing possessions, or restricting access (like destroying a lock) without a valid court order. 2. Landlord Stopping Utilities (Clause 10): PROHIBITED. Essential utility services (water, electricity) cannot be disconnected by the landlord, even in case of rent default, as this is considered illegal obstruction. 3. Forfeiture of Deposit for Early Termination (Clause 11): PROHIBITED. The contract cannot mandate the automatic forfeiture of the entire deposit as a penalty. The deposit must be returned (minus damages) if the tenant terminates according to their statutory right (after 50% of the lease term, with 30 days' notice). 4. Excessive Upfront Payment (2 months Deposit + 1 month Advance Rent): LIKELY ILLEGAL/EXCESSIVE. For business operators, the total upfront collection (Deposit + Advance) is typically capped at the equivalent of two months' rent. Collecting three months' rent upfront violates these protection rules.

1. Landlord's Power to Seize Property (from Clause 5, Possession): "The Landlord shall accordingly have the right to destroy the lock in order to access the Premise and remove or sell the Tenant's properties in order to indemnify the Landlord's damage." 2. Landlord's Power to Stop Utilities (from Clause 10, Defaults): "...the Landlord shall have the right to stop all utility services and terminate this Agreement without a prior notice if the Tenant fails to pay the rent or any sum payable under this Agreement within 7 (seven) days..." 3. Tenant's Penalty for Early Termination (from Clause 11, Terminations): "In case the tenant terminates this agreement prior to the expiration date as stated in Clause 2. The tenant agrees to give the landlord all deposits stated under clause 4. without any arguments" 4. At the time of the execution of this lease, Tenant has already paid to Landlord, in trust, the sum of 30,000 .Baht (Thirty thousand baht) to be held and disbursed for Tenant damages to the premises (if any) as provided by law. Any damages exceeding the sum of the security deposit will be charged to the tenant. (2 months rent) When I check with chat GPT, it claims all of these are illegal for agencies that are business operators , i.e. renting more than 5 units etc which is the case with my agency. Next month I have to renew it, so they are asking to sign a new contract. I want to stay here for now, so what should I do? Adjust deposit amount to 1 month? When I ask for these, they claim they checked with a lawyer before and he advised them this is ok. Any ideas?

Is Melatonin Unavailable in Thailand Now?
Yes. I wanted to do that due to no melatonin ordering from iherb and saw the prices are much lower on lazada like they say but 3 for the price of 1 but even fake they only ship one bottle not 3, complete scam.

It's exactly my experience. Only iherb is 100 legit so I won't buy supplements from these platforms here.

Do not buy any supplement from Lazada or shoppee. They are scamming people with fake bottles and fake pills inside. I have the original and I compared the bottle was different size and the pills are different also in color and size and the weight of the entire bottle was also wrong. I disputed and Lazada asked the seller to provide certificate of authenticity, they couldn't. Check the reviews, it's all fake like: good.......

Are There Scooter/Motorcycle Insurance Options with Full Coverage?
Hi, I'm looking for comprehensive scooter insurance (160cc) that covers everything—both my own medical expenses and property damage, as well as the other party's medical and property damage in case of an accident. I want a full coverage option that includes: ✔ My own medical expenses (in case I get injured) ✔ My scooter’s damage/loss (collision, theft, vandalism, etc.) ✔ Other party’s medical and property expenses (if I’m at fault) Ideally, I'd like global coverage, but if that’s not available, I’m open to good international or local options. Does anyone know of an insurer that provides this level of coverage for scooters/motorcycles? If I am not wrong, the compulsory insurance only covers my medical? I have my own health insurance and they cover my medical in case of accidents. Thanks in advance.

The information country in the center building told me to see the lawyer. I went to Kwaeng also yesterday. I think he also told me something about lawyers. I will ask a Thai friend to help me then. I didn't know I could do these like that. But that Thai friend will have to argue for me in the court? I guess I can do this after the result of the demand letter because I paid for this already and that lawyer sent it. But I didn't pay for going to court. I thought if I didn't have real lawyer my chance to win would go down a lot.

Is there a way to get money back if sent online to someone who scammed you?
I did that but my bank said I have to ask the other bank and I went there too the same day with the report they said it will take 20 business days and only police can request this or sue the person or something like that.

Thanks I went there 2 times. So they told me to visit the volunteer lawyer that gives some advice but he is eager for you to hire him. Second day was a lawyer who doesn't speak English. The prices weren't bad but I just don't know if they are good lawyers. They also told me in info dept that I could go to lawyers counsel in a different address. The lawyer said whatever you want as compensation I have to pay 2 percent to court. I am first waiting the result of the demand letter. Ministry of justice is in provincial hall in Chon buri?
