Your wife must be a "real estate agent"

Probably not a shoe but 20 baht slippers. Being a "content creator" the video is probably a lie anyway.

Canada to get slapped with 25% on ALL imports. 1 dolla 1 baht soon.... We are #$@$

You wrote that a 4 million baht condo rents out for 28,000 baht a month. Maybe in your dreams when a real estate agent aka bargirl told you so. You said there is no capital gains when you resale. That one piece of advice must have come from a ladyboy. You pay tax when you sell condo even if you sell for a loss. Go back to bar.

Not so sure anymore with all the tents and druggies around. I have a prime downtown location in Toronto.....unfortunately it is right accross the park and i lost over 20% since the peak. Fortunately i bought it 15 years ago so i am still up

I will be paying tax exactly the same as I did in previous years. My wife can declare me her dependant, so she gets some refund. I don't make money in Thailand.

my favorite position, just like vanilla ice cream

Did you ever meet Seb or Joko?

Everything you wrote is wrong. How did you manage?

Landlord. My wife also paid for it when she was renting out her condo

Alex Jones was correct again. No wonder he will be getting primetime on NBC soon.

not today, but when it was built in 2018 the room was selling for close to 7 million. Another reasonable reason to own is to claim it and decorate it to your own comfort and taste and avoid the stress of signing a lease. Agreed. If I was planning to die in Thailand I would just let wife buy a house and not deal with a bad condo management. What irritates me here is that you truly only own your unit.... almost feels like a prison when your keycard/fingerprint lets you access only your floor and common areas. I have to fingerprint myself 8 times every time I get Grab. Once to leave the floor (my facilities are on the same floor I live), once to take me to ground floor, once to exit the elevator lobby (or garage) once to exit the building. Repeat on the way back. I am surprised they didn't install fingerprint to open a garbage chute.

My landlord is selling the condo we are renting for 7 million baht. Our rent is 18,000b a month. Let's assume he is willing to take a catastrophic 2 million baht loss, I don't see how anyone can come ahead even with 5 million investment in this depreciating asset. Condo fees are 45b per square meter, so that's another 2000b a month expense for the landlord. not to mention twice a year Aircon cleaning and all the eventual repairs they have to deal with. I will leave this amateur investing to HK, Taiwanese, Singaporean and Chinese landlords. They are masters at losing money.

When NATO bombed my country I wasn't in the street protesting the Serbian cause. I left that chithole at the time and tried to make my life better. I appreciate Canada giving me a way out. Most of my friends made a very good lives for themselves outside Serbia. None of them are protesters. That privilege always seem to be reserved for muzzies

I you are really scared of this non event, Just go back to your own country, establish the residency and reap the benefits you won't get anywhere else. Spend the rest in Thailand

You contradicted yourself with that quote.

Another thread where I find out more about members who pay a salary to wife and parents.

You may be the first hospitalized person in Thailand that I would donate to using GoFundMe Not much mind you..... maybe 10 bucks

Wrong. The only reason Canada wanted me is because I actively dodged the army. Unlike today where they accept and let in all kinds of war criminals.

The agent gets 2 month deposit. They get paid 1 month from that deposit and give the rest to landlord. You wrote this yourself, so I am 100% confident you will not be getting any deposit back. When me and wife decide to rent, we only rent from landlords that are not in the country (prefer HK, Taiwanese, Singaporean landlords) Every time the repair was needed, this was handled without any issue with the agent who just need to contact the landlord to approve the repairs.

You are fighting and submitting to Thai government every single year to get your retirement extension approved.

If landlords is so cheap to screw the agent, I expect you will not be getting your deposit back if you move out now.

Do you know what you ate?

Time to splurge on business class. It will be an expensive ticket anyway.....

Wow....dared. Or perhaps just make sure the compensation is fair or wait for what insurance has to say. It seems like the Russian couple stopped and offered help, unlike the usual runner their countryman would normally pull. Didn't Britman glorify his Thai motorbike insurance compensating him and giving a very good care in a government hospital? I mean, that thread was just full of praise for police, insurance company, hospital staff and the Amazing Thailand in general. Or....cough....someone drove the motorbike with no insurance?
