according to my lawyer there is no legal basis to charge fines, some Juristic Person Manager's act like dictators and overstep their boundaries and try to make up some ridiculous rules, but even if they get approved at the AGM they will never hold in court. They are mostly used as a threat but can never be enforced.

right, but it requires an AGM resolution approved by min. 50% of the co-owners in the building and it has to be mentioned in the house rules and regulations, which is very difficult to achieve. Usually the co-owner attendance of AGM's incl. Proxy's is below 50%.

there is no legal basis for charging fines, unless its for costs caused by the tenant or co-owner or interest on late payments, but that's it. The Juristic Person or the Committee cannot just make up some random fines for breaking any rules. It will not hold in front of a court.

charging fines is for sure illegal and not covered in the Condo Act.

that would be illegal, they can keep the car until you sober or you paid the fine. If they really want to enforce it, then nobody who intends to drive home after dinner and a few drinks (not drunk) will ever buy a new car again for themselves or their Thai wives. Another blow to the car industry, the tax uncertainty has already stopped many Farangs to send money over to Thailand to buy new cars.

same in Singapore and Hongkong, but in most other countries they ignore it or don't release such info (China).

right, much ado about nothing. Most of my conflicts were about their way of driving, either too fast or too slow or going the wrong way.

I had one tenant who didn't pay rental in time, i told him to pay within 2 weeks or electricity and water will be cut off. He was not able to pay, so he vacated the house and I deducted all costs fm the 2 months deposit. In Thailand you have no problem to get rid of tenants not following the contract terms, in Europe it would be much more difficult.

right, in general they are about the ugliest woman in Asia.

at least a fair fist fight and not with any weapons or 10 Thai fighting against 1 Farang.

I went recently to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya and asked for LASIK prices, but the ladies at the reception told me that LASIK will not last long and I might have to undergo another Laser procedure after 2 years, which is bull<deleted>. They are trying to sell Super Sight Surgery for THB 260k and don't even bother to tell you the price for LASIK.

right, that's what criminal minds do automatically.

so if an attractive lady wears a mini skirt its partly her fault when she gets raped?

because they are cowards

Option 1 for me
