She shouts into it, not talks. Can hear her in my bedroom which is on the back of the house. I don't think she wants to keep the dog in....

It was a comment about one of the few things I know about her. Strange of you to zoom in on that.

Sorry I think this topic has gone in the wrong room. ^ Buying isn't my problem. I don't need to stay there, and can rent it out. Thanks for the suggestion on finding out who the owner is....

Opinions please. I recently retired and bought a run down house in Hua Hin that's been empty for 3+ years with a front patio that has great views of the nearby hills and overlooks the garden of the next door house that's further down the hill. I've been cleaning and painting the front of the house and patio area over the past few weeks. The middle aged foreign (seems Spanish) woman renting the house below mine sits out in her garden chain smoking and shouting into her phone for hours at a time which I can hear in every room of my house even with the windows closed, but there's not much I can do about that. She also lets her dog run wild around the neighbourhood and it's come into my garden and chased my cats several times when I've opened my gate to go out. The first time it happened she was walking nearby and I asked her if she could keep the dog in her garden. She said yes but it was back out again shortly after and every day since. To try to cut a long story short, yesterday at 19:30pm she rang my doorbell on my front gate several times. I went outside and she started shouting at me through the gate that her young daughters don't want to go in their garden when there's a man above them on his patio. She then accused me of watching them and being a "pervert" and "pedophile" and that she was scared that I'd rape them. My Thai wife was in the doorway and heard this crazy woman defaming me. I called her an idiot and asked her to stay away from my house. I could then hear her shouting on her phone for the next two hours telling numerous people that she had a pervert and pedophile living next door and was also asking them why her dog didn't have the right to roam around the neighbourhood when cats could do that. She clearly has some serious mental health issues. How to proceed?

She's ok with it. Clearly I'm seeking advice on whether it's legally sound, and on how to best do it, from anyone that has done similar.

Why is renting better? We're both mid 30s and plan to raise a family in the house. To rent a house like this would cost about half a million baht per year. So 25 years from now, that'll be 12.5 million baht in rent plus any rent increases, and we'll be hitting 60 years old with no property to our name.

Having read that ufustructs between husband and wife are invalid, is it possible to secure my funds by entering into a contract with my wife? We will buy a 6 million baht house. I'll pay 4 million baht cash and she'll borrow 2 million baht from her bank as a mortgage. Can I ensure that, if we split up or if she ever tries to sell without my permission, we have a loan agreement in place which remains non-repayable (and non interest-bearing) unless she decides to sell, at which time the 4 million baht becomes repayable to me? I understand that I'm protected to some extent because if we divorce I'll be entitled to 50% of the house value as a marital asset, which will force her to sell or buy me out, but I may be wrong about that. Please let me know if you know.
