(posted in farming section as it seems more closely related to the category than the usual falang McMansion chanote/fake company BS, but mods please feel free to move if deemed inappropriate for here) Disclaimer: I'm an idiot when it comes to Thai farming land "ownership" and the various types of non-red-chanote title deeds, not am I financially involved in this deal but I am super curious and would like to educate myself. So the spousal unit tells me her father is buying a fairly large sized block of rubber tree land (25 rai) from the "Sahakorn" https://sahakorn.pmk.ac.th/ So this is, as far as I can tell, a just a credit cooperative. This is what my ears have processed coming from her: 1. She keeps saying that Sahakorn is "government" - how is a credit cooperative "government? 2. The land has "official measurements" (ok, good) 3. But the paperwork and proof of "ownership" (she calls it a "guarantee from Sahakorn i.e. "govt") will not be the typical deed/title certificate that has some kind of Garuda on it?! BUT she says that after 1 year a chanote can be applied for. This is in the sticks of Buriram province. I know a lot of the land in farming areas is non chanote'ed but shouldn't there at least be a title deed with some sort of colored garuda on top (blue/green etc etc)?? Or is this buying land from Sahakorn thing totally legit/normal and as usual, the dumbazz falang is sticking his long nose into things he should not even be curious about as this is "how it's done here"? -Confused falang in the jungle-

To all you Thai speakers out there!
Sandboxer replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I would guess there are less than 200 Western falangs in the entire country who truly speak accent free, native level Thai (including understanding cultural contexts/syntax of the language). -
This is what my Brit friend considers a "tasty snack".....cheap toast doused with 'Whorechestshirley' sauce to the point where it's soggy, topped with chemical cheese. And this MF owns a large restaurant! Culinary savages.

Chinese woman arrested over illegal passport ad in Thailand
Sandboxer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
All the countries advertised have legit official programs for citizenship by investment/deposit, so IF the lady is acting as an agent for those programs then there's really nothing dodgy about it provided she has the proper work permit to conduct such promoting here. -

When the Chinese Take Over........
Sandboxer replied to NickyLouie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Perfect example: Sihanoukville, Cambodia. They ran it down in a big wave for a few yrs and now it's a shell of its former self. Or, if we're going to focus on nightlife and a different demographic/nationality, Angeles City, Philippines and the Korean takeover (although it could be argued their bar lineups are wayyyyy better, if a little more pricey, than the scarecrows now seen in the "Western" bars.) Personally, I don't mind the young new gen Chinese tourists and unlike too many of their Brit/Aussie/etc. counterparts, generally not obnoxious agro pissheads. -

Why do Thai women actually love foreign men?
Sandboxer replied to Alpha84's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Can't speak for other Thai women but mine tells me my best personality trait is that I am not possessive. Guess that's why we get along so well even with her husband living upstairs.... -

I'm an American who hates guns. Yet, if I were to live in that s-hole again, I'd be armed to the teeth a day after I arrive. It's simply too late to impose any kind of effective gun control legislation. Estimated 350-450 million guns, of which only about 6m are actually registered. -
American Arrested for Stabbing Australian to Death in Thailand
Sandboxer replied to webfact's topic in Krabi News
What I find funny is the fake moral outrage about an incident as news-and-deep-thought-worthy as a video of two baboons throwing feces at each other. 1. It's more of an upper degree manslaughter than murder. 2. I've seen waaaay too many times what Aussies and Brits (especially tourists) are like drunk at 2am. Most are trash, so I just tend to assume a-hole unless proven otherwise. 3. Texan - nuff said. About half the country is retarded and he doesn't represent the smarter half. Just glad no innocent bystanders got hurt. Nothing good ever happens at 2am. among drunk losers. Not in Thailand, not in Duh-merica, not in Asstralia, not in Yoorope. Nowhere. Well, almost nowhere... Funny how you (almost) never really hear these sorts of incidents happening to/among the classier, societally more well adjusted/civilized East/Southeast Asians like Japanese or South Koreans, Malays, Singaporeans, etc. Always the same suspects, quacking like ducks (i.e. in the worst lo-so native speaking accents of the English language). -

Yep, that makes sense, but I actually meant where do the British expats tend to live, not hangout. Sorry, wasn't very clear. Yes, I too would like to know (so I can avoid them).
