Please can anyone recommend a land suveyor.

I would like to know the ins and outs of measuring Nor Sor 3 Gor land... i.e. should it be measured on the horizontal plane or the sloping plane.

Tension with the sellor of the land plots, the new neighbours and myself is becoming increasingly stressed. hence I need accurate independant information on how to measure this type of land.

Recommendations are welcome Thank you.

Location of the surveyor is not an issue.... We can work via phone / email to pass information back and forward, but needs to be a reputable surveyor who has a good understanding of the law when measuring Nor Sor 3 Gor boundaries. 

So far we have had 3 land surveys carried out, the first 2 measured by the horizontal plane and the most recent measured by the sloping plane.

I currently feel I am being pressured into taking a compromise by the sellor, however my preference is to first establish what is the correct method to measure the land before coming to any decision.  Thank you.

All adjoining land owners are invited to the survey.  If they choose not to attend and voice their views they have to accept the result. They missed their chance.

I know this to be the case with Chanote land paper.... is it also the case for Nor Sor Sam Gor ?

Let him deal with the Land Office and see who wins.

 

Question is the difference in your advantage or in his advantage.

 

Another thing, when the Land Office did our survey, we had the neighbors and the Village Chief as witness to agree on with the Land Office said was the right ones!

The land is sloping some 23 degress, my neightbour has used the distance along the sloping plane to determine the location of the post, the land title/office use the distance along the horizontal plane ( as I understand it )...  Therefore it is to my dis-advantage to accept the location of the post according to the sloping plane as I will end up with less land than I had purchased.

Subsequently, the land was surveyed, posts were placed according to the horizontal plane, he did not agree nor sign the land survey.

He was the village cheif and does still work in the Orb Boa Toa, I live on a small island where everyone knows everyone else.   Before pushing my case with whatever civil action is necessary which will likely result in upset for some people...  I would like to be sure which has priority... the location of the ground post when the land was sold, or the size of the land according the land paper which in my case is Nor Sor Sam Gor.

Normally the land title, the posts can "wander".

 

If you actually want to purchase said land you should get a new survey done, they will re-position the posts if they've moved.

 

Land survey has been conducted and new posts placed in what they determined to be the correct location ( some 7 meters from the original post ), however the land owner ( and previous owner of my plot ) has since knocked down the new post and still insists that the original posts are correct.

When the location of the posts on the ground and the boundary recorded at the land office, and shown on the land title ( in my case Nor Sor Sam Gor ) are not at the same location ( several meters out ).   

Which is the correct location ? That which is shown on the land title or the location of the post on the ground ? 

The land is not developed and are merely land plots at this time, there are no fences erected only corner posts.

a reasonable question, I will ask, however I do not recall ever having to pay for a home visit during my 5 years in the Phuket province.

Whilst they may make a record made of a home visit, never in the 9 years here I have ever had a home visit.

Assume this is for an extension based on marriage, are you sure the second fee is not for a home visit which most offices charge for.

Not familiar with that office however folk will be along with first hand experience.

You were scammed and that's bad. A simple solution might be to demand a receipt. 

BTW not my favourite beach there. Ha.

EDIT: just read above that you have already paid this time and no receipt.

Some posters will advise to make complaint. I wouldn't say that the wrong thing to do however personally I would let it side and now your aware you can avoid it next time..

 

Yes this is my intention also, I already missed the ball on this occasion.... I will have to wait until next year and ask for a receipt before handing over the money.

Thank you for clarifying that it is only one charge, this is my understanding also.

Just now, clivebaxter said:

so looks like the first charge was an illegal one then, why not report it? or you will get the same every year.

I think I have missed my chance this year as I already handed over the money and walked away with no receipt so no way I have to proove it.

I will have to wait until next year and ask what I am paying for exactly and ask for a receipt, it is then up to them if they then hold it against me and make it difficult for me to get my visa...

Which immigration office.

 I am afraid to state names in an open forum. But I can say that in my previous province Phuket I was only ever charged the fee one time per visa, and if I recall correctly I was given a receipt.

Has anyone else come across this, when extending the 1 year visa, immigration charging the visa fee when making the application and then charging it again one month later when picking up the visa ?

I have lived in Thailand for 9 years in two different provinces, my previous province only ever charged me once, but the province I am at presently for the last few years have been charging me twice for the same visa, last year I thought it was my mistake but it is happening again this year...

I have a well bore hole and have the following setup installed:

1. Water gets pumped from well to a 2000l holding tank,

2. Water is then pumped through a 5 stage filter setup,

3. The clean water is pumped to a second 2000l storage tank,

4. When there is demand for water a third pump with pressure tank pumps clean water to the house,

5. The kitchen tap has a 6th stage via installation of an eSpring filter, this water is pure and suitable for drinking. All other sinks, showers take water direct from the second clean water holding tank.

My main 5 stage filter setup is as follows:

1st stage > Manganese filter

2nd stage > Carbon filter

3rd stage > Resin filter

4th stage > 2 x 5 micron filters

5th stage > Chlorinator

6th stage > eSpring filter (only installed in kitchen, the built in eSpring carbon filter removes the chlorine and the UV light destroys any bacteria that the Chlorinator does not)

The system is controlled by a control panel with level switches in both tanks. The filter system requires a backwash every 2 weeks which is done by selecting the pump to manual mode which then takes very little time.

See attached pics of my setup:

I live in Koh Lanta, I have ordered the Maganese Carbon & Resin Fitlers....  do I need the  micron filters & Chlorinator ? what are they used for ?

Do you have any digital record (scans) of your Children's Birth Certificate ?

 

I this case, instead of an either or attempt approach the situation from both angles - Contact both Laksi Amphur Office and the Thai Embassy in London. 

 

Out of curiosity ? why Laksi ? is that the Amphur to which your Children’s Thai Birth certificates were linked ?

I'm guessing Laksi because they have a lot of governmental offices their that deal with international matters.

Their Citizen ID cards were issued in Krabi, their mothers house book is from Nakhon Sawan.

And... Where are you at the moment ? (in Thailand or the UK). 

 

I imagine the Thai Embassy are closed during Covid-19 and operating remotely, so e-mail is the way to go. 

We live in Krabi.

Have your children been registered at a Amphoe to get a Thai ID number and are registered in a house book?

Do you have any copies of there birth certificates? Getting those certified at a Amphoe may be possible.

Yes both children have been registered at the Amphoe and have been issued their Thai Citizen ID cards, but the same Amphoe is unable to find records of their birth cirtificate on their system. I had taken and shown to them printed copies I have kept electronically.

My children were born in the UK but are Thai by descent, their mother is Thai.

We registered their births at the Thai consulate in London UK, and received their Thai birth certificate there.

I had a house fire a few months back and am now in the process of getting original copies of their birth certificates.  I visited the local amphur but they could not find any record of their birth certificate on their system, they recommend I contact Laksi ?

So, do I go back to the consulate in London or do I contact Laksi for the birth certificates ?

I am no longer married to their mother, nor have any involvment with her, but I do have custody of the children awarded by the Thai court. 

I welcome advice from a person with similar experience or one who has knowledge of the correct procedure to follow.

I wonder if they'll get around to posting details of this on the embassy we pages.

I posted the same on Thai Embassy London facebook.  https://www.facebook.com/ThaiEmbLondon

Just got off the phone with Thai Embassey London, they confirmed that they are issuing CoE for these Emirates flights, subject to all the same CoE criteria as the repatriation with flights.   

They will need sufficient notice ( I quoted 7 days ) to issue the CoE due to the additional requests they are now receiving for these additional flights.

BKK to UK-Manchester July 15th 2020, most things were normal except had to wear a mask on the flight and fill out a form on arrival in the UK. cost baht business 220,000 ( for 3 people )

Booked return flight for 21st August with commercial airline, then later realised all commcercial flights for August had been cancelled, then read the news about Thailand only running repatriation flgihts.

Getting back to Thailand is more difficult,  

1. no commercial flights only 3x repatriation flights from UK per month ( each flight only 50 seats for Non-Thais ) cost baht 83,000 economy / 350,000 business ( for 3 people )

2. fit to fly certificate and COVID19 lab test no more than 72 hours before flight, cost 15,000 baht ( for 3 people )

3. medical insurance 100,000 USD to include COVID-19 cost ? not yet established

4. on arrival into BKK go into quarantine for 2 weeks at a "ASQ hotel" cost approx 100,000 baht ( for 3 people )

My wife renewed her Thai passport this week. She attended the passport office Wednesday lunchtime.

 

Her new passport arrived by EMS post 2 days later, Friday lunch time.

either emergency travel document issued same day or 3 to 5 days for the passport, we will find out what route(s) are open to us tomorrow am.

Don't you think that that is purely a decision for her to take in due course when she reaches adulthood, rather than for you to attempt pre-emptive action on her behalf in the meantime (which she may not eventually thank you for)?

 

The point I am making is that it is her choice, she may not want to renew her passport and if that were the case what would Thailand do then, keep her imprisoned here against her will .....
