What do you mean by "...and good luck with that"? What is your experience of civil court cases here that you're basing that comment on? It's clear that it's not a sincere "good luck!".... "Happened to me a few years ago in Sri Racha, took them to court (Chon Buri), and won, all monies return with interest". (Bignbad)

You will also know that it is a possibility and that there was a large, long-established company in Phuket that was raided for that very reason, providing Russians, predominantly, with a route to "own" land. All their clients who acquired land that way were being investigated. What do you think the outcome will be, "Aww, you didn't know, the agency taking your fees didn't tell you? Ok, no problem, we'll just allow you foreigners to keep the land that you cannot own"?

He's making accurate comments on illegally set up companies that "allow" foreigners to "own" land, he's not "attacking" anyone. Funny how, once again, an opposing opinion stating facts is condemned as an "attack".

I haven't researched how many but, again, that statistic is irrelevant:, foreigners buying land illegally in that manner risk losing it if the authorities choose to get involved. You don't really think that foreigners who illegally purchased land would be allowed to keep it if push came to shove, do you? Imagine the floodgates that would open.

OK mr Pedant, how many illegal companies are active that way for decades already? No idea but that is irrelevant. Even if there are millions it does not make it legal. Not so long ago a long-standing company in Phuket(?) was raided for that very reason, it had been providing illegal company incorporations for years for no other reason than for foreigners to "own" land and the property on it.

What your friend did is illegal if the company has no other purpose.

A novel idea. Well, to me, at least. Has it been tested? Yes, it has been tested, it is illegal if the company is set up solely for that purpose. You could lose the property if it was deemed to have been illegally bought/owned by a foreigner.

Illegally. Unless the company is legitimately trading.

Who are you? He can own the property on the land.

Do a SWIFT transfer from the branch, opt for "all charges to be paid by the sender" and instruct that the received amount has to be whatever you want your US account to receive in dollars. The Thai account will then be debited with the full cost.

No, they do not "vocalise"...unless you know of a plant that has vocal chords and lungs.

Yes, it is in many cases. But who said that he is a Christian and what would it have to do with you if he is?

$1.99 special For the lot?

Can we pre-order?!

More so as this was in a public area (restaurant) of the hotel. Absolutely and that is what I have already posted.

Thou shalt not make false accusations against Phuket barber shops as, apparently, they weren't stealing Thai barbers jobs.

Foreigners are permitted to work as consultants in the legal profession here, they are not allowed to practise law, per se, or represent clients in court.

Why is it so strange that there is no mention of a permitted occupation in an article about occupations that are off-limits?

Where does your "30%" stat come from?

Rationally, how and why is that ever likely to be enacted?

"...they allow them to go into schools to lecture children dressed like that". Who allows that? Where, which schools? When?

The fact that he said in the video that he "was working" as a reason to justify their behaviour, has been touched on.

Where did it say that he is going to get a prion sentence?

They were not in a private hotel room. they were in a private dining area of a hotel's restaurant, an area which was accessible by the public and under the gaze of security cameras.

Such as?
