In fact, I was in wondering when an EV Pick-up would hit the market.

Since it's a very common type of 'car' in LOS, in particular in small towns and coutryside, they could have big sales wihout other direct EV competitors

I went to Bangkok Bank yesterday:

I have been living and working in Thailand for years, but they said I am not entitled to buy the bond.

Since I don't own an house/apartment here (resident Visa), I am not considered resident (I have working Visa).

Even if I have an actual resident certificate and pay tax here !?! 

Hello,

Just received at Bangkok Bank app the info that soon this certificate will be offered.

Have any idea if 3% is net or before tax ?

Possible to sell it before the 5 year expiration?

here I don't underastand.

they recently made the beach very wide to have more people going there (sure not during the day before they don't like hot/sun).

So now there are some kind of "restaurants" and people having fun at the beach: wasn't this the purpose ?!

with this logic, however, it should be prohibited all weekend, all hours

was it too easy to ask ID card for buying? 😇

It was one of those 'knee-jerk' laws that were put in place overnight by the Military Junta in 1972....  no one in a decision making capacity or connected to those involved in such laws questioned the ridiculousness of it - why ?... Kraeng-Jai... 'don't question those more senior' !!!   - the laws have been more strictly enforced in the last 15 years or so....

 

Also about 10-15 years ago a law was put in place that it was illegal to sell alcohol within 500m of a School.... with so many schools around this was virtually a physical impossibility in any built up area...  so this law was pretty much ignored !!

 

 

The idea behind all of this is to prevent school kids from drinking....  And as with much of Thailand there is a 'blanket' legislation kneecapping the whole of society rather than dealing with the actual issues at hand - penalising those who sell alcohol to minors.

 

I arrived in LOS just a couple of years ago and I thought a Covid-19 Law for some reason.

thanks for the explanation

what was the original meaning of this ban? not buying alcohol outside already not drinking hours... I don't see the point.

is it actually prohibited 2-5pm at the bar?!

never understood why during shopping at Big C in the afternoon I could not buy some beers to drink during the next days.

that's not the 7/11 that you usually buy small quantity and possibly drink immediately

I need to park the car for 20 days.

A couple of years ago the operator at long-term parking  told me there is some kind of 1 month ticket, cost 1000b.

Anyone know about it?

Usufruct on your villa... you live in it, do what you want, when you die, it goes to the owner... who cares, you are ...

good idea if you don't have a family, but I prefer my savings go to my kids

The company needs a proper business besides owning property, that is rented out to a shareholder. It might be risky to use a shell company for that purpose.

You need one or two Thai shareholders – I'm not sure if a total of three shareholders is still needed for company limited registration of property owned by a company limited at a land office – the other shareholder(s) shall be able to show that they have the funds to invest in the shares, as the use nominee shareholders is illegal.

 

The best was for control of votes in a company is by using preferred shares.

To form a company you will need a minimum of 2 shareholders and 2 million baht in registered (and today paid in) shareholder capital.

 

If you buy a secondhand company limited, get a lawyer to make due diligence, so you know what you take over.

 

A business law firm can establish a company limited for you, when you have the shareholders; you need to find them yourself. An accountant can also register a company limited for you. You'll need an accountant anyway for books and semi-annual tax report and the annual audited statement. Expect it to costs from 25,000, baht and up for that service per year, depending of the activity in the company. You'll need a rental or lease agreement between the property user and the property owner (the company limited) and pay rent to the owner. A rental contract for a longer period than 3 years need registration at the land office to be legal and will be taxed.

so to take over an already registered company that has paid 2M capital, do I in turn have to repay the same amount?

I thank everyone for useful suggestions.

@sungod

so I can rent, provided that I remove this house as the official address for the company.

For extension, one can have several houses and rent them all?

@YaDongImproved

The problem setting up a new company, you need to create the business as well; but your comment is clear ^_^

I would also start looking for accountant in primis

got fine at automatic camera, fine always 500b regardless of speed when the limit is exceeded

I hear some lawyer / accountants may sell the company already running a business, which would be the best because only necessary to change some ownership name

Hello,

I am planning to buy a thai company then buy an house.

I will ask a lawyer / accountant as soon as I find reliable one , but do you already have info if it's possible to rent this house in the future ?

(worst case scenario that I quit the job in LOS and move back to my country).

I asked for this during last holidays to several operators which have advertising along the beach:

I was quoted 3500/4000b ONE WAY.

6000 if return

terrible experience.

my mother with assistance had been brought to the wrong gate in Jedda and lost the flight.

Big confusion from Saudia and no one gave her a phone to inform me. Only later an employee gave his phone with Whatsapp but not even working properly.

In the end she was brought to hotel and caught the flight 24h later!

I had to call directly the hotel because it seems it did not have wifi

the insuranse guy came, took photos and said it was covered, even if damage by hitting a sidewalk.

but we have not contacted the other number he gave us to proceed with the claim

Hello, I got a tyre cut on sidewalk for Neta V (the car came with full insurance from shop)

I have replaced 2 tyres with Michelin (8400b) but they would refund just 1 tyre for the original chinese, meaning only 2000b.

Do you think it makes sense to get this amount, or this would increase too much the insurance price next  year?

thanks

yes,  I've got 2 devices working

been there, so I update in case someone interested

there are 2 big parkings right before the border, they were both almost full but

paid 500b for 5 days even if 1st and 5th only partial

I don't see why not.

It was possible last week at Poipet border

Hello, I am going to Cambodia tomorrow.

plan to leave the car near the border then catch a taxi to Siem Reap.

any suggestion wehre to park?

if you not meeting with @bignok I am also available to buy them.

I will be in Pattaya this weekend

Nobody mentioned until now, GRAB is also good, my wife uses it when necessary
