Maybe 1/2 that. They do get often free housing or housing allowance and free drinks from Russian and Cuban spys.

Korean parliment visits Pattaya on a fact finding mission.

Bioidentical pellets are better...get poked every 3-6 months.

Much of the internet is a fantasy. How do you know for sure they live in Thailand? Maybe they come on holiday a month a year, film all their shots and return somewhere else to edit, post, live. This is normal with feature films. Film 30-90 days on location, then it gets released 2-3 years later.

Set a specific time for showings like 2-4pm on Sunday for a fee or discount. Getting everyone there at the same time makes sense for everyone. Seller shows there is compeition for the unit. Agent guaranteed to get access. You don't have random people coming and going at all hours and days of the week and even when you are not there. I would guess you need to give the owner reasonable access. They in turn need to give you quiet enjoyment. Probably no definition of either, but if you want to challenge that perhaps entails you going to court. That costs you money and time and headaches and you probably lose on the "principal" of the idea. Some owners have multiple, so I lik that idea of moving to a better unit with the same rent. You can also negotiate....hey if you want to sell it would be much easier if I just move out and am not here. Let's plan on 15th. Please meet me to return deposit and key return. Nobody is going to buy with as smelly and messy as I am. Much easier if vacant and I'm gone. Plus I sleep all day and work all night and I sleep naked. So you don't want buyers seeing that. It will show 100% better and smell clean and you won't see things. When they hear the idea of losing your rent money and deposit return, they'll probably give up.

Of course the car hire company would be the final authority, but maybe contact the Japan Tourist office in Thailand for assistance. https://www.japan.travel/en/contact/ I'm trying to think how you can avoid or mitigate the issue. Maybe find a Japanese travel agency in Bangkok. Book the car AND travel insurance through them and get in writing what you want to do. That way if issues happen in Japan, at least you have some insurance claim or trip interruption claim. You may also be able to buy travel insurance from some company like Alianz. Let us know how you make out.

Does Cambodia recognize birthright citizenship?

If you are European, start your tourism business in Europe where all the tourists are and they have all kinds of money to spend and there are a lot of cool things to see and do. I don't know where you live now, but I think just two examples are Paris and Venice but there are plenty of others. People go there because they don't know where else to go or what to do. So you have an overwhelming number of people there and in many other cities. Take them someplace else and someplace fun. Don't throw your money away in Phuket where the tourism business is sketchy, often low budget, and pretty much you will be locked out of 80% of the market if not more. If you are not Russian or speak Russian, do you think you can lock up Russian market? Same with Chinese market, or Japanese market...or local budget market. Why would you want to get your money out of Europe and into a shaky 3rd world economy like Thailand? That sounds like a good way to loose everything you have worked hard to obtain. No matter what anyone tells you or what kind of workaround they think they have discovered, you cannot own land as a foreigner in Thailand. Even if you could, there would be no ROI for you. Look at the prices of land vs what you could charge per night for similar accommodations that you envision. Don't buy into anything you can't control. Your 49/51 is correct, but that means your partner is in control. They are cracking down, especially in Phuket where the 51 is controlled by a lawyer or nominee just for that purpose. If you spent a year in Thailand did you do your market research? Did you do market surveys on rent? Plenty of people do this for a while like Russians, but at some point the Boys in Brown crack down. Someone will get jealous and turn you in. Maybe your partner. Maybe your staff. Maybe the staff you fire. Maybe your competition. What's your 3rd silent partner budget? The BiB budget? Read the news here regularly. Plenty of people get busted. Just a matter of time. Can you hear in Europe that giant sucking sound from the weed business in Phuket? That inhale is the sound of foreigners and locals too losing their shirts, shorts and slippers on the weed business. If you want to move to Thailand, do it. Just don't dream of running a buiness or buying land. Work remote with European income. Or spend you savings on rent and food. Don't risk it all on a risky illegal business.

In NYC 30% white, 20% black, 30% hispanic, and 15% Asian. Someone left out one race out of the stats?

US Citizens or others with Global Entry typically get waived thru pretty fast at the big US airports...LAX SFO JFK MIA DFW PHL...not sure about the other airports. There are also other options like MPC that is quick.....they just waive you thru....Welcome back Tom, Welcome Back Dick, Welcome Back Harry. Line normally less than a minute.\ They have you hold your PP open to picture page. They've probably already scanned APIS info the airline shared with them at departure.....hop skip jump, you're in. If they're looking for you, you'll be flagged and pulled out of line for additional questions. Now non-US citizens without Global Entry....lines can be super long...maybe 2 hrs or more, visa or no visa. Almost every airport I see that line is LONG and SLOW....but maybe that is no different than most countries. Good citizens get in fast, Boys on the Bad Guy list (non-citizens) get more scrutiny. I have not heard one legit tourist getting harrassed upon entry to US. However if you lie on your application and plan to come to work, marry, cause trouble, you may be refused entry, just like every other country.

Keeping the girlfriends and boyfriends separate..

No bug breath.

Try MedEx lab on Suk13...more or less behind Ambassador hotel.

Doctors lobby must be strong in the land of smiles. Somehow I don't see enough doctors to staff all the shops that have popped up. Not sure there will be enough to write scripts and potentially be on the wrong side of the law at some point. Obviously there will be one somewhere willing to sit in a shop in lab coat and pray on addicts. There will be a line out the door. 1000baht per script will solve your glacoma. Very surprised they ever allowed the mind altering substance in the first place....tough to have "right mind" if it is all messed up.

(2) Having no appropriate means of living following entry into the Kingdom. (3) Having entered the Kingdom to be employed as an unskilled or untrained labourer, or to work in violation of the Alien Work Permit Law. (9) Having no money or bond as prescribed by the Minister under Section 14 of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979). This sounds very likely as you have also stated here that a basic border bounce is expensive and you can afford to be turned down again. That seems to validate the Immigration officer claim and flag in your profile. Sounds like you should provide proof of funds in your name in a foreign bank account. I would not show them your Thai bank account as that kind of show that you are long term resident or intend to stay (that may or may not be true.) Access to funds in a foreign bank account is good to support your 60 day stay, and cash even better. It would probably also be a good idea to have a REAL purchased outbound ticket. Preferrably to your home country, not Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos. Don't provide one of the fake tickets or ticket to next door neighbor. Basically immigration is enforcing all the rules when they want to and probably don't just want people hanging out any more with no provable means of support.
