Goldbuggy, are you wearing your wife beater as you type 

Did the elderly Japanese gentleman mistake his wife for the judge? 

Over ruled! 

Lol a single rai is rarely a square 40 x 40...

Special is a direct translation from a 'piset' connection. Sorry to hear you're not special. 

In my 12 years of living and working here in real estate and construction I have never heard of anyone on my island having any problems with their companies.

Maybe you know better from your 'sources'.

It's not a requirement to have a tabian baan (house number/reg) to connect electricity...just for normal connection. When we build we use a 'special' electric connection. More expensive per unit and a little more deposit 6-8k from memory but it's still possible. 

As for normal electric...if you had a Thai company you could do anything a Thai person can, as it is a juristic person. Including own the land as an asset. 

I like the idea of a usufruct or specificies but I think it comes with its own set of problems...as you have found...

After visiting a couple of Thai restaurants in London my Thai missus said she didn't want to go to another.

 

Bland food, done for locals and yes, very decorative and expensive. 

Sounds like a 5 star hotel menu here in Thailand lol

Morning, take a look on Facebook groups. There are some for houses for rent here (Phangan) and also jobs available too. There are lots of the former, and now being low season the best time to look, and less of the latter. 

Good luck!

You can always set up a Thai Ltd company and then invoice via this if you wish to pay tax. Not so expensive and you can write off all sorts of expenses against the revenue.

Boot camp for this little toe rag...was a bit wayward myself at his age...if only had a little discipline it might have helped...channel that anger into something productive...spare the rod spoil the child in some cases...

A devil in human form...evil personified.

At the end of the financial year (31, Dec.) you are required to produce financial statements. To do this you have until end of May in the coming year before receiving late fines. If you are fluent in Thai I guess you could hand the self produced accounts to a Thai auditor although strictly speaking 'accounting work' of any kind is a protected profession. Having end of year accounts produced and audited by (2 different) Thai accountants is not difficult or expensive. You can outsource this process, it needn't be in-house.

To close a company costs around 15,000 if I remember correctly. The extra is probably the taxes that should be paid before closing it. Yes you could easily just abandon it without problems, many do. Do you not have the purchase recorded in receipts, etc? This should then lower your tax liability. Also I do not see why you cannot just buy a new property thus lowering this year's operating profit. Unfortunately unless the original purchase/build is not recorded then you could well need to pay even more tax on a second sale. If your accountant makes no suggestions....change accountant...good luck

The use of nominees is illegal...but tell that to probably 90% of ALL businesses here Thai or farang. Also why do people think the powers that be want things fair? It's to keep the status quo - the poor poor and the rich richer...

Saving money on lawyers (good ones) is not a good place to look for savings.

NCC1701A - you should try to make THAT info go viral...I am sure the world's press would enjoy exposing that disgusting response to a do gooder.

You don't need to deposit 2m to open a 2m registered capital company, just a small fraction of it...unless you want to be 'fully paid up capital' status.

Did they test him for drug use? Methamphetamine makes people horrible.

Just wondered if anyone can shed light on the whole extention thingy...I understand visa's, stay of entry but the extensions seem odd...some non B's are getting 7 days only while some tourists are getting 30 days...anyone? Happy to read about it if anyone can propose a sauce...cheers and Sawasdee Pi Mai tukฯ tan ?

Today is the BIGGEST Thai holiday of the year...with 14 & 15 to boot...not sure how you missed it but hey ho...Yup...don't waste ya time going till Monday...Good luck Monday but all should be ok.

I dont deal with teachers but Penang and even Kota Bahru are said to be "easy"...also I am not sure for other Labour dept. areas..I'm Surathani based...but WP processing has come under a lot more scrutiny just recently...anyone have similar experiences?

Good luck...

If 3% pcm is loansharking then most credit cards over the world are too.

Conflict of interest, well, aside from mistaken identity or an 'accident', conflict of interest seems pretty obvious. They may as well say, cause of death - bullet.

Yes, many mia farang are 'wua luem dtine' and often the husband encourages this behaviour - I wonder what the next few days will reveal, if anything.

I second that, Penang is very easy/lenient, especially if you use a local agent. Many agents are in Chulia street. I have also been told Kota Bahru is even better but getting there is harder and there's less to do while you're there.

4). where is the land? It affects which department you deal with as someone (you?) pointed out.

I have built over 12 houses in Phangan for clients and have NEVER had a problem with planning issues.

1).who is your 'architect' - on phangan currently there are NONE qualified - only designers.

2). Who registered ghd land lease for you? Maybe they can assist?

3). This is exactly why professionals exist for this kind of thing - most have cultivated relationships with the right guys for years.

Good luck...

As I understand it the director has power to alter the shareholding structure without needing consent. Thus the directorship is a very important role. Signing powers are noted on Co.docs and can be one, a combination of directors or a sole named director.

Technically a s/h vote could be taken at a co. meeting and a new director appointed, hence the need to control voting rights -51%.
