  1. Doubt there would be any method to have an accident, where i want to use there's perhaps 2 cars and i doubt they are checked annually or even insured, further most of the roads are dirt tracks or beach. Mainly its bikes or bikes with side car (which are not 'legal').
  2. She gets everything in Thailand (2% of my wealth), if there is a kid then that gets the rest (bulk of my wealth), otherwise rest goes to my sisters son and same goes for my inheritance from (that should go to me, unless a son is produced, all goes to my sisters son).
  3. I have numerous cars and bikes, one bike is 4 yrs old and still driving on a red plate lol, even my BMW i drove a red plate for 1.8yrs, Cars and bikes are irrelevant, only interested in ATV/Quad.
  4. No offence, but if you are living in your fifties (+) and still need to be informed what financial planning, and spotting an opportunity is, then you need to be told bluntly, there's barely any time for 'tact' left at that junction.
  5. no. image is above 8 inch wheel quad bike (4 wheels) 125cc
  6. Bought from Lazada, no mention, 22,000 THB knocked down from30,000 THB
  7. I didn't think of the noise when i bought it, i thought of the size lol, its smaller than a golf buggy and ideal for parking.
  8. No cops where i plan to use (beach) and little village road to the dock, roads are used almost exclusively by golf carts.
  9. Cool so if can't be done, then can't be arrested ????
  10. If you are not living well and in your fifties then you've got appalling financial planning, post 2016 there has been the biggest financial opportunity for those that had a few rubbles sat around depreciating in value (GBP has lost 99.9% approx since inception, same applies to most currencies), and that's aside from inflation. But first came Trump, then Brexit, then Covid, then the Crypto bull market. Have a look at the % gains overall in all those market's then ask yourself why you didn't plan (if you didn't) or see an opportunity (if you didn't) then you'd see that actually, metaphor: if you wait on others to pour your beer all you will do is go home everyday with a empty pocket, if you pour your beer, you take some risks, but reap the rewards. So in a nutshell, life has improved IMO.
  11. Reminds me of the 'Bentley bank loan story'. - free storage for your bullion! collect on departure.
  12. Only lent to two people money in Thailand as foreigners. 1) Guy that i used to know that was down on his luck and lost his job (around 2014) lent him money, it was repaid and 4 yrs later the guy was talking behind my back, safe to say he lost his job during covid, and the door was closed. 2) Guy i've known for 10 yrs and was my go-to for discussions of personal nature, had cancer, paid his medical fees (loan) and a couple of other loans (total about 200-300k) when covid struck he asked for some funds, i said ok, then purposely kept 'non' approachable during the first year and half. Spoke to him recently, he's not as 'responsive' which implies he knows i am going to ask for the funds back (which i intend) but only after he's back to earning again. Money always changes circumstances, and people, but in a lot of cases 99% of the foreigners here are looking to turn you over, or make some funds out of you etc because they are living here and need capital like everyone else, but there is the 1% that are pretty decent people and friends for life (until they hit a rough patch, and you need to consider if your friendship warrants going above and beyond). Take up golf, and avoid the chubby sub 40 europeans stick to the over 50's/60's and they are generally 'set' so looking for 'meaningful relationships'. avoid bars etc
  13. Never seen one licensed, just bought one for nipping along village roads. Anyone gone through this process before? (do you have to?) what's the license plate called? If it helps, the right hand one.
  14. My sketch went to the architect, they deal with finalising designs etc. My interest was specific to 'title of the property', not debating room locations etc
  15. There's an outside balcony area (in the sketch) which gives you something akin to this (attached) but smaller, i'd figured that was more like the 'lounge'.
  16. Was part of a 100m$ property development on the west coast previously (10yrs ago), every 'apartment' was sitting on top of a function room (car-park, office, restaurant etc) and every apartment was sold as a condo.. - I just don't know how it was done which is where my question is because aside from 25 properties in the same sort of legal structure, i'm doing one, and it isn't a resort, but a self-contained accessed property.
  17. It costs 800k just for the garage, due to the equipment being brought in, not so easy to bring in (all comes in by boat). My own idea, and early days, kinda irrelevant that this is even being discussed when the question was specific to the licensing for the title. I'm going from fazwaz... if you scroll up the selling price doesn't bother me as it will ALWAYS be clear profit, and just reduces other costs, i'd be happy to sell for 500k more than cost simply as its free money. And as for comparison these are all different, my main home is worth 20-25m THB but a 1 bedroom pool villa on 150SQM next to this land sold for 15mTHB a apartment with similar views 2 bedrooms retail at 7-15m THB, what you advertise is generally different to what you pay or get paid. So its kinda a mute point as i highlighted above, it's irrelevant, and still no answer as to separate of title, just nit picking on irrelevant things. Rawai is a <deleted> hole (no offence), up there you really are in the 'bartering' because its predominately low-mid end with a few high end villas around saiyuan, hardly comparative to private areas such as Kamala, Yamu etc which are generally tailored to higher end purchases. As for the Architect, Architects design, and consult with builders, they don't deal with separating a chanute for a self contained condo.
  18. Open plan, having small rooms for lounge, kitchen, etc is old fashioned.
  19. Architect hasn't started... that's me, my draft sent over to them, for them to start putting into CAD (or similar), and i shared here to give a reflection on what I was thinking (but not set in stone obviously). As far as the architect had got, before my brainwave
  20. I have a builder already, and architect (they are working on other aspects not related to the 'garage'. I am more interested in understanding what others did when they built a self contained condo and sold it, (what issues/hurdles/rights etc) had to be worked out when the land itself wasn't being transferred. No, as we need a garage (we bought the land for that), and the wife wants a garden for greenery, and it's behind our villa (single storey absolute ocean front), we thought instead of just the garage, as this view has to be worth a few bob, -- you can't really complain about this view--, so the idea of building a condo on top of the garage and selling it to someone made complete sense. Note the garage is set to be 30meters back (from direct water). So we googled 'fazwaz' and lo and behold 2 bedroom condos with sea view are 7-15m THB So if we build it for 2m-3m (excluding the garage cost) and flog at a profit, that will offset any other costs we've accrued elsewhere (piling costs for an example), at approx 80m2 thats a nice holiday dig, with private entrance, and a few rubbles in my beer bucket.
  21. Beach front Phuket. (well behind our villa) and the text Kitchen was an example (early planning) though for the record, home pro kitchens range from 50-900k so its a rather stupid answer, go and look in the 'proper isles' not the 'cheap isles', Also living room is there, in addition there's a 8meter long outside sitting area (in my draft)
  22. All the engineering feats accomplished within Bangkok (thailand in general) even if they are slow, i'm pretty certain a solution will be found, perhaps all land from the sea to a mile of the city becomes marshes with a seawall put along the coast, then additional seawalls around the coastal side of the city, along with increasing the rivers and walls around them... for every problem concrete and rebar with a little $ has a solution.
