November 23rd. Visa extensions are separate from TM47s.

Hardly. Most of the Chinese are pretty happy and the standard of living is rising widely. They have money to spend and would like to spend it here.

It is free to apply. You do not pay until after the check. I think it is an Interpol check but they are looking for bigger things than this.

We were not married at the time. She bought the land herself. (I helped a little) I rented the land from her with an initial payment of 90k and an additional 90k due at the completion of construction or 3 years. Construction won, but all of the elements of a contract were met. It is her property by deed, but it is mine to use throughout the term of the lease, including clauses for sale, death or separation.

That is why the lease agreement needs to be included in the deed. Her nephew can inherit the property but it is yours to use through the term of the lease. He can wait, he is going to get it in the end anyway.

The Usufruct is the lease contract and must include consideration with objective value. Cash is the easy way. The contract is most effective when it shows arms length exchanges. A 50 baht per month lease is not arms length. In our case I gave her 180k in cash. She later spent it on upgrades to the house but there was a clear transaction against the lease. .

If she dies and you inherit land, you must transfer it to a Thai within 6 months. Falangs can only hold land in a short term transitional status.

That will not work that way. You cannot own the land for more than 6 months. We have it in ours that her heirs or assigns must honor the lease. If she sells the property, it is a mandatory clause for the buyer. She owns the land outright for which I agreed to lease for 180,000 in two lump sum payments and build a house with a minimum value of 1 million baht within 3 years.

It is considered a capital lease because it frequently can exceed the lifetime of the owner and it must be recorded in the Amphoe land office. That said, any land owner can enter into a contract like this. The clerks at the land office will review it and make sure the interests of the Thai owner are met. These include an arms length transaction, fair remuneration, and equitable terms of dissolution. If you meet these requirements, they file an addendum to the deed (chanote).

Beautifully written. I find the laughter of children at play quite enchanting and am appalled that anyone would unload a Glock at a kids sports day. This brain-dead gun mentality needs to stop. It is never appropriate to threaten people, much less children. I hope the police lock up this moron for a long time, and make sure everyone in prison knows the idiot tried to kill a bunch of little kids.

The Thai bikers are hilarious, right up there with Thai gangsta rappers. 50 kg punks trying to be bad-asses. Whatever, time to get out the purple sticks.

Except for all of the planes in the way. Nok and Air Asia turn way more money through DMK than any car race.

I want the tire and strut concessions. McLaren meet pothole.

There is an International size limit where a licensed master is required. I thought it was about 75 feet but it has been decades since I looked. It is so far out of my budget that it falls under trivia. Once you need a professional crew, they could require Thai crew but if you can afford the boat, the crew will be cheap. Pilots for ships are special captains for navigating large ships in restrictive waters. Maybe at the Bangkok ship terminal or the Suez Canal. If you have the kind boat that needs pilots, you can definitely afford it, just ask the crew.

Anti-vax nonsense. Where is the report from the health ministry? Tik-Tok is screaming scam.

Blaming the victim? How about not going gay bashing?

It was pretty much cashless in China and it worked great. The problem in Thailand is that foreigners cannot use online payments like LinePay. I have been trying to set up a wallet for years. Fix that and I will not have a problem with it.

Could not care less.

I just got a second notice after not getting the first one. DeJoys post office at it's finest. It is a similar tactic used in keeping people off the voter rolls. I also sent a scan to Manila. They said that I needed to send it to Wilkes Barre, I replied that SSA had been notified. Why they do not email the forms is beyond me. Using snail mail does not work well

He owed her the 1500 from the get go. Rolex watch?? not staying in a Soi 8 room. He is the scammer. What kind of moron would bring that kind of bling to Pattaya in the first place?

He needs to go to Sweden, yesterday.

So we should suspend civil rights for all transgenders because some of them may have committed crimes in the past? Are there any other groups of people that you feel are not deserving of due process? I find reactionary bigots annoying but even they have rights. .

Could not care less. Focus on what affects the lives of the people, not the millionaire footballers.

You need a big wad of cash for an O visa. The O implies that you are going to deposit 800k baht within 90 days. Americans are not eligible for the 65k a month income version because the State Department will not certify pensions. You will need to be able to show ~500k in cash available to be deposited in Thailand.

The farther you go, the cleaner the waster gets. For convenience, Bang Saen and Jomtien. Koh Larn is nice but you need to get the ferry. Hua Hin and Koh Chang are the nearest beach resort areas but much farther. For surf and reefs you need to go to Phuket though.
