Hey, thank you, Joe. I think yours is the right explanation. I'll send a picture of the stamped receipt I got from the city government to my juristic office to show them I paid that.

Hello! I'm a foreign condo owner who mostly lives overseas. Last week - during a short visit here - I paid the condo tax (blue envelope) at the Pattaya City Government, about 374 baht for a condo of about 36 square meters. Now back overseas, to my surprise I receive a message from my condo's juristic office telling me a green envelope for the land tax has arrived. Never heard of this before. Also, since I'm a foreigner, I can't own any 'land,' it's just an apartment inside a condo building. Do you condo owners also receive two envelopes (a green and a blue one) at this time of year? Do you have to pay both a separate condo tax and a land tax? Thanks for your advice. I thought my tax business was over with paying the condo tax last week.

Wow!!?? Just last Sunday, on my last full day in Thailand for the time being, I stepped into the Marks & Spencer at Central Pattaya and bought a shirt, ginger and other biscuits, and a mini Christmas house for my wife. She will be sad to hear that, because she was also often interested in their Christmas puddings. We live in Taiwan, where M&S opened stores twice that went bust within a year.

Thanks everybody. Here is how my story ended: 1/ the short version: I asked my juristic office to pay the land tax for me from the funds I keep with them to pay water and electricity bills. 2/ the long version: they gave me a Siam Commercial Bank account number where I could pay the tax - but ... I discovered my Bangkok Bank app no longer worked on my primitive Android 7.1.2 HTC U11+ phone ... and as many others have pointed out on other threads on this forum, it is virtually impossible to transfer that Bangkok Bank app to another phone (a new Android 8 phone or my wife's Android 11 phone) when outside of Thailand because a visit to a branch is necessary. Luckily, I have the people at my condo's juristic office do the good work for me. PS I'm preparing to buy a new phone and visit Bangkok Bank during my next visit, to upgrade the app and add an Internet iBualuang account, as an mBualuang account for the phone obviously won't last long.

Once again, thanks for all your suggestions and advice.

Hey, Lou, scubascuba, thanks for your advice. I'll let everybody know how it goes

Q: How can I pay my land/property tax for a condo from overseas? The juristic office of the condo I own in Pattaya sent me the notice from the tax office asking me to pay about 300 baht in land/property tax before the end of June. My problem is: I live overseas, and due to work I'm unable to visit Thailand during June. Apparently, you can pay taxes via the Krung Thai Bank, but I think you have to show up in person, and anyway, I don't have an account with them (I do with Bangkok Bank), so what should I do? What kind of other method is there? How do you pay taxes when you don't live in Thailand? , Should I ask my juristic office to go and pay? (I already have money with them to help me pay water and electricity bills.) Thanks for any advice.

On holiday in Pattaya last August: - ZAB indeed gone. Was not my scene but I used to notice it on previous visits. - Candy Shop still open; I believe it's under same management as Lucifer and The Muzzik Cafe further south down the road. BTW The Muzzik Cafe has live bands similar to Candy Shop, i.e. play contemporary dance pop (Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris etc). I seem to remember diagonally across the road from Muzzik Cafe a live heavy metal bar so loud I crossed the street to avoid my ears being blasted off, but hey, maybe that's your cup of tea.
