  1. You could cover them with thin paper, this should not have any impact on them triggering and when they trigger the paper will just rip or dissolve. There also seem to be special "sprinkler covers", just look it up on Google.
  2. The bank is the owner and has the blue book, OP is effectively renting the car from the bank. Probably your passports, and a certificate of residence for your coworker, if you also pay the loan off at the same time. If your coworker plans to continue financing it, then he will probably also require proof of employment, show that he has income etc.
  3. Just call a taxi when you need one, this will save you lots of headaches.
  4. "Section 560. In case of non-payment of rent, the letter may terminate the contract. But, if the rent is payable at monthly or longer intervals, the letter must first notify the hirer that payment is required within a period not less than fifteen days." The landlord sends a letter to the tenant requesting payment within 15 days. If the tenant doesn't pay within this time frame the landlord terminates the contract. With the contract now being void the tenant has no right to be in the landlord's property, so if the tenant doesn't leave the landlord calls the police to have the tenant removed.
  5. Naughty bird, in the future it better be more cooperative.
  6. There is no "Thai rental law". Do you just make this stuff up?
  7. In some Thai news the shop was actually named and reporters did go there. He has a price list in his shop, and he charged in accordance with his price list. Did he add the price list after this? No, a price list in his is visible in the same place on pictures on Facebook from a few years ago and on Google street view (to blurry to read the prices though) He could have changed the price list after the Facebook post was made, to validate the prices that he charged those customers. But I guess if there was a price list showing 1000 baht, but he charged his customers 5000 baht, they would have mentioned this in their article and probably provided a picture of this price list. They didn't mention it, so I assume the price list was in accordance with what he charged, they just failed to read the price list beforehand.
  8. In general yes, but be careful that you don't lock it together with something that interferes with the key fob. I do for example have a powerbank with wireless charging functionality, if this is close to the key fob the key doesn't work anymore, so if I would lock these two together under the seat I'd have a problem....
  9. Did you have papers from the court stating that you have sole custody and did you show these papers to them? You could go to the amphoe with two neighbours who testify that she is staying with you alone and you are raising her alone, then you take this paper from the amphoe to the passport office and then the other parent isn't needed anymore. I have no experience how the amphoe reacts to the foreigner though (should still be possible I think, but they might just say "no" and you might have to force them to move their ass), in the case which I experienced, it were 2 Thai parents, the mother took the two grandparents to the amphoe to get this paper, then the signature of the father wasn't required anymore.
  10. When looking at houses for 50 million baht here, it's usually 10 million for the house itself, and 40 million for the land or something like that. I think it's just impossible to get workers who would deliver a quality that we would consider a high level of craftsman ship in western countries. So even if you would have 100 million baht for the house build alone, you will never get a very high quality, because you won't find any workers who would be able to construct it here in Thailand.
  11. A 90 day report doesn’t have an expiry date though.
  12. If your passport expired it means your permission of stay has also expired.
  13. I don't see how the number of chanotes is relevant to this. A company owns land. You want to buy this land. As a foreigner you obviously can't own land, so you would either have to buy it in the name of a Thai person or a majority Thai owned company. Buying it in a Thai person's name is easier, but if you buy it in the name of a company of which you hold 49% then it's at least legally partially yours.
  14. Maybe the person was sentenced to pay 500k, but if unable or unwilling to pay they have to go to prison instead?
  15. There is no limit if you come back after your permission of stay expires you would just have to apply for a new non-immigrant visa.
  16. I wouldn't even bother, he is a Thai national so can't be fined for overstaying or banned from entering Thailand anyway. When he leaves Thailand in the future just use the foreign passport when leaving, arrive early enough so IO can clear this in their system. Then in the future use the Thai passport for entering Thailand. For the many people who are scared of immigration, there is also the option to apply for a one year extension for being a Thai national, but there is actually no need to do this, waste of money and time. The reason for not being able to swap at land borders is that the other country's immigration usually wants to have the exit stamp of the country where you just came from in the same passport as the entry stamp they are going to give you. So when you enter for example Laos at a land border, they want to see a Thai exit stamp, and when you enter Thailand, they want to see the Laos exit stamp in the same passport that you will get the entry stamp. Maybe for Thai citizens this rule is not applied, who knows....
  17. Depends on what exactly you want to do in Thailand. If you just buy a product from another company and have them ship it to your home country, you could do this with any visa, you wouldn't even have to be in Thailand. If you want to setup your own factory, handle packing, shipping etc. then you have to set up a company, get work permit etc.
  18. That's what they state in news regarding 120km/h speed limit. But in reality they just temporarily reduce the speed to 90km/h a few hundred meters before a u-turn or a traffic light, and right after you can officially drive 120km/h You can legally drive 120km/h on probably 90% of the way from Pathum Thani to Nakhon Sawan. But actually you can drive 120km/h all the way because they don't enforce the short 90km/h limits.
  19. From past experience long ago: The guy looking at the screen of the camera takes a picture and sends it to his colleague through Line. I don't know where the pictures this time came from. Wouldn't surprise me if he has an album on his phone with random speeding pictures though... No, I guess because I wasn't speeding. After pointing out both times that the cars on the pictures aren't mine he gave up and I could continue without paying anything, took a few minutes.
  20. The easiest way is to just connect the new router behind the existing router. Then you can disable wifi on the existing router and you are good to go.
  21. I didn't get any "teamoney" vibe, so I'm quite certain that this isn't what he was after. Maybe they have a quota that they need to fulfill. Most of the drivers are aware of this checkpoint, so they don't drive too fast. Somebody who is unaware or just doesn't care has a really hard time to drive faster than 120km/h on this patch due to all the cars following the speed limit, thus police surely don't catch many people for speeding there. After the first wrong picture, and if he had said something at least slightly apologetic I would have believed that it was by mistake. But after he tried it again with another picture and then just walking away after being unsuccessful, I doubt it was by accident. Also considering that the license plates were cut off from the pictures... I failed to look if there was a date on the picture, if it should happen again I will look if it is maybe even a picture from last month or similar.
  22. Then he walked away and I could continue, obviously he didn’t have any evidence of me going too fast, I didn’t get an apology.
