Dear all,

I am looking for the street name where the temple "kai kan woo" (spelling...?) is located. It is a side soi to Phetkasem rd (spelling...?). It might be "Street name" Soi 19, but I got it explained very vaguely.

Thanks in advance, and I hope that some of it makes sense...

Hi!

I would appreciate if someone can recommend a website to sell property (second hand) to Thais. Is there a similar website like Baht and Sold out there in Thai?

I know of Sanook, but got the feeling its not the way to go.

Dear all,

Thanks for all the inputs. I am in contact with Sunbelt and will present them with all the docs, so we can take it from there.

Nothing wrong with buying this property if its worth it. Being 'worth it' is a whole different discussion though.

The important thing is to de-couple it from the company structure when he buys it, before he is the owner. The costs of this can be split between your friend and the current company owners.

In other words buy via the lease route/ Usufruct etc...

Do not buy the company with the land etc... it is not worth the hassle/uncertainty and he will have all the problems with the additional business taxes if he does try to remove the property from the company in the next few years.

I have a property that is owned using the company method and I would not use it if I were buying a property now. Not worth the hassle.

Sunbelt would be the best people to advice your friend in this matter as they dont like the property method and they are considered to be honest.

good luck

Hi!

I had been doing some research regarding a Co., Ltd owning house and land. According to the “new rules”, it’s impossible for a Co., Ltd to own land (especially when the majority owner is a foreigner).

What about a company formed four years ago? Land and property purchased for around 15million Thb in the company name. I am asking for a friend of mine, I am bit worried that he might get screwed eventually. He also told me that the company pays 10.000 thb a year in “taxes”. Sounds very little to me.

Would he be better of to change the contract to a lease contract or something like that. I will recommend him to see a real lawyer ( I got the feeling that he used a friend of a friend that knows a laywer...) or use Sunbelt to solve his problem (if there is any).

Anyway some comments would be grateful at this stage.

Best regards

Hi

I am currently in Europe to raise the last funds for my business start up in Thailand. I have lived in Bangkok for several years, doing all kinds of business for myself.

I learnt the hard way, that even though you have "the greatest business idea in the world", you need to bring your own satang to the table and make it by yourself, not just wait for Mr. Seed money to give you a call.

Instead of trying to survive on a shoestring and park my bum on a barstool and joining the "farang complain brigade".

I decided to get back to work hard, get some perspectives on life and comeback and make a fresh start.

So, if someone out there needs (or know someone) a kitchen porter/assistant, farm worker, general labourer or similar, I would really appreciate it. I would prefer a live-in position in a rural area (not here to entertain myself).Minimum pay is okay.

For more information about me, please send me an email.

Best regards,

Doro
