  1. So it wasn't a 'nullify' fee, just a 'hold your hand' fee from someone helping you do simply paperwork/jump the Q.
  2. It's the updated price from their site, which you order from, so assume up to date. You'll know before you 'hit submit & order'.
  3. Disms them, as 'too good t be true' applies. I ordered one, ridiculously cheap, and took a while to get a refund. I guess most don't, or don't bother. Those 'sponsored' ads seem to be outright scams. $1-2-3000 USD items for 1/10th, or more of the real price. Google the image of the product and see the real price.
  4. Heinz has factories in China ... read them labels ???? "In 1999 Heinz (Qingdao) Food Company Ltd was founded to produce infant jar foods, as well as to produce and sell more than 20 categories of Heinz western sauces which are frequently used in western restaurants. Besides Heinz ketchup, Heinz western sauces include famous Heinz baked bean, Heinz white vinegar and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce."
  5. Insulting dogs is not cool ... ... so nothing has changed, still an overpriced tourist trap. Those that survived on the overflow from the few higher end places catering to the Hiso s have closed up, since no overflow for a few years & now. There was a decent kebab vendor, and always a long Q, but that's about it. Good for fireworks NYE.
  6. Goes both ways. Do you really want to be obligated to pay 30 years, if the relationship ends badly. The tax part of it is minimal.
  7. Canned Beans are silly priced here, not that I ate that much. Wife buys fresh beans, and makes her own. Offered to buy a pressure cooker, but she's not having any of that ???? Rarely eat baked beans anyway, and when bought canned, rinsed their vile sauce off, and made my own, just using the beans. The other prepackaged stuff, photos of, rarely ate that krap when I didn't live in TH. How do y'all get to our ages, and not know how to cook for yourself. Retired, we have plenty of time. Taste so much better and the other plus, usually much cheaper. Somethings I'll buy, like puff pastry, as simply too much work to make. Yogurt, since cost about the same to make. Same with cheeses, since milk isn't exactly inexpensive here, and parmesan is hard to make, along with America cheese (not product), 2kg pack Mozzarella is cheap enough, if buy a kg or 2 block.
  8. @1FinickyOne Makro having larger packaging, bulk items, the others usually don't carry. Dairy, butter & cheese you can buy in 1/2 kg & up blocks, packs, instead of 100-200kg packs. So much cheaper. Same with spices, bags of, instead of little jars. Cooking oils also. Better selection of items and package sizes.
  9. Simply stay on hwy#4 via Ratchaburi & Nakhon Pathom, you'll come out on top of Pathum Thani. Anything else, and it really wouldn't be worth the hassle. Use to go this way from Prachuap KK when daughter attended Thammasat Uni, Pathum Thani campus. Didn't save a whole lot of time, if any sometimes, but at least your moving and out of heavy traffic, depending on time of day.
  10. If you have to ask that question, I suggest you rent or buy a condo. Pretty much -0- risk.
  11. Why would you need ? You and holder of chanote, simply say you want a usufrunct, and for simple fee ~100 baht, the prints off the fill in the blanks form (filled out) and you both sign. Don't need lawyer or anything. Don't know why people think they need lawyers for everything.
  12. I only have JIC the wife/holder of the chanote, dies before me. I know I'll have say if transferred/sold, or at least, place to live if wanting. Mute now since daughter's name also on everything now. Trust the wife, if not, I'd have bought a condo and simply stayed nomadic. Though worse came to worse, it's only ฿2 mill and no great loss. Without her/2nd wife, we couldn't have invested in 2nd house which paid for this house. If she can put up with me for 17 yrs now, so far, she can have. 1st house/wife, no usufruct till transferred to present wife's name. Very ignorant when I landed here, but knew not to invest anything I couldn't walk away from. Didn't happen, though house was only $20k USD anyway, so wouldn't have been much of a loss, and lived there for 5 ish years anyway, before transferred out of 1st wife's name. Cheaper than rent. IF you're getting a usufruct for unknown/lack of trust... rent or buy a condo, if the loss would hurt you financially.
  13. Don't know about 'unsafe' but certainly not the overly regulated nanny state of most western countries.
  14. I'd be surprised if you can will any contract to your kids, especially in Thailand. I'd think most contract die with you. If usufruct is for life, it would end with yours.
  15. You were charged to nullify ? SCAM It's like a ฿20 paperwork fee, at Udon Thani land office. 7 usufructs cancelled/removed and never paid to do. Did a lawyer do that for you, if so, might want to do things yourself at the land office.
  16. Yea, OP's a bit vague, clean & close. Guess didn't look at Gmap for close, then decide if clean enough. Budget would make a huge difference in recommendation, along with 'why' need; 1 day, week, month, 4 years. If can't make a decision with info already given, more isn't going help.
  17. You should quote my 'whole' reply, to someone else, not the title of thread, but then that wouldn't fit into your spin.
  18. That's how I described it back in 2001, when I didn't like Bangkok. Like Bangkok now, but later visits to CM, and my opinion didn't change, and see no reason to even visit. Definitely in the top 3 places, i wouldn't live, recommend, or visit again, as I've been to already more than a few times. Never warmed up to it. Countryside (province) is lovely, and if not for the pollution, could see myself there.
  19. Couldn't find that on Gmaps ... ????
  20. "with tourist extending" ... I believe you can do that at any Imm Office.
  21. I've never seen them used as regular transport/bus service in downtown-ish Bangkok either. As school buses, and local transport to designated area to/from 'downtown', and possibly won't leave until full. Not as a regular 'baht bus' service that you find in Udon Thani, Hua Hin or Pattaya. Seen on Sukhumvit rd/hwy #3, but that's way below and east of Samut Prakan.
  22. My signature was needed in Udon Thani & Prachuap for anything to be done with the land. Concerning sale, leasing or construction. Seemed pretty valid & binding and enforceable to me. YMMV
  23. Not if she cancels it .. as I was told by land office ... YMMV If the family doesn't want you there, for your safety, best to leave when asked.
