So very true Grumpy, "no enforcement of the rules/laws." And then when someone is sued in court, the judges are corrupt and can be bought. Been there, done that. The Thais just do not care and are used to living in slums and therefore are not interested in maintenance and improving buildings. If I were to ever buy another condo in Thailand, (I never will again) I would buy one where a Western Corporation manages the building, not the lazy, cheap, corrupt Thais.
