That is correct. I too hold PR. However whilst one cannot inherit land, a condo is different, as the land is effectively leased, But if the foreign ownership of the entire condo is full, one may not be able to transfer ownership after death of the Thai owner.

CORRECT.

More than likely if it becomes law, it will allow entry for 30 days. Any more time would need a visa

Not before serving time in harsh Thai jail conditions

I have repeatedly said, that possession of a firearm in public (unless authorised- ie police etc) should carry a minimum 10 year prison sentence, whilst the use of a firearm to either threaten or fire, regardless of the result, warrants the ultimate penalty!

Evidence of assault is required

5 years hard labour for the management/owners. lessons need to be learned

Why would any self respecting UK lawyer want to represent her?

9 years to the day. Why does it take so long for trials and sentencing here in Thailand?

Like most Thai criminal investigations, this case will go on for years and years, and no doubt Big Joke and the others accused will be suspended from duty until the result is declared

The photo you show looks like town houses, some 7 of which were built next to my large detached house to the East. My house was built on some 90 tarang wah**, and I think the price I paid for the land at the end of 1986 was 450,000THB The house came in at 550,000THB. Sold up end of 2000 for 2.5 million baht. **Strangely that small plot had 7 chanotes!!!!! Back in 1986 my then Thai wife was not permitted to buy land. I had to buy in her Father's name, and to safeguard my investment I granted Father a mortgage, which was registered on each of the chanotes. He could not sell unless he repaid the mortgage!😀

In my neck of the woods, one goes to a town centre clinIc, and tells the receptionist whats wanted, She fills in a form, wanders into the Doctors offfice for a few seconds and then provides a signed form stating you have good health for ........50baht!! WHAT A FARCE/................LIKE SO MUCH IN THAILAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We did have mains water most of the time, but during the hot months tankers were sent from the Pattaya reservoirs to top up my tank. Electric never seemed to be a problem As for Russians, there just were not many people of any nationality at the beginning. Snakes a plenty! During my years there, I probably despatched 250/300--big buggers too!

I lived in Jomtien Soi 1 from 1987 until January 2001 Had a house built from scratch My house was alongside the Royal Jomtien Hotel's rear car park (built after I moved there) which suffered a disastrous fire in July 1997 with dozens of deaths. It was reconstructed and later reopened under a new name . There were reports of ghosts everywhere, and on one occasion when escorting a young lass along the soi leading to my home. she stopped and refused to go any further. My house was purchased for use as weekend guest house for Bangkok trippers. I heard that after the first guests saw ghosts, word quickly spread, and the house was never rented out again. In 1987 there were virtually no hotels/guest houses, shops or bars. The beach was deserted except for stray dogs Baht buses only went to Jomtien if they had a passenger to deliver In the early 90's a large shopping complex was built half way along Jomtien Beach Road, but despite signs announcing who had rented space, it never opened. By the early 90's the Thais from Bangkok descended at weekends and hotels and guest houses opened. Then came the foreign tourists followed by a few bars. When I left in 2001, traffic was heavy. Jomtien 2nd road was partially built and condos were being built everywhere. It was then basically an extension of Pattaya I recall when Thepprasit Road was just a dirt track from one end to the other

No naivety there. I am saying what should be done, knowing full well that he will get off scot free!. Thailand is full of double standards and will never change. Who you are, who you know and/or money are all that is needed.

If he is accused of breaklng the lese majeste law, then he must be arrested and tried in a court of law like everyone else. It matters NOT, who he is. If found guilty,he must be subject to the same punishment meted out to all the others.

Just looked at Bangkok Bank FCD interest rates.. No sign of 5%!!!!!!!!!!! More like 0.5 and 0.6% both subject to 15% tax deduction,

AND HIS HEAD TOO!

They might now, with Big Joke sorting it!

Off to visit BUDDHA immediately. Child rapists warrant death¬!

Thats a maybe, but the request must surely be made by the account holder, who, in the context of this thread, is dead!

I've been to a couple of Thai cremations..................bonfire on waste land!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re-calculates the debt........or cooks the books????????😁

What about NO MONKS? Can the temple just cremate?

What are the wonderful Thai police for? Old wreck of a car, blocking a neighbours drive, untaxed. Hey there is big money for the police there.
