Delight

The type that you sit on. Not mobility.

Just interested to know the obvious-such as 1) Is a driving license required ? 2) Tax- insurance Testing ? 3) Legal position over helmet wearing ? 4) Can you drive on the pavement (sidewalk) ? Please add other relevant comments Thanks

Thanks your reply was perfect!

I will try again

There is a legal device called a 'usufruct' Can anybody detail the actual word in Thai language. Thai script -if possible-would be preferred. Thanks.

My wife's Aunt is in trouble. She took out a loan from a Thai bank -many years ago-to be used for a business venture. The Aunt's land(chanote) was used as collateral This venture failed. The bank is going to foreclose . All family parties are happy that I (1) Settle with the bank . (2) Then Transfer the Chanote to my wife's name. (3) Organise a Usufruct to protect the Aunt. I hear that it is problematic to use Farang money for this process. Can anybody detail the potential problems and further recommend a solution -outlining any further costs that I may have to bear.

Some while ago I submitted a word document detailing in 'ins' and 'outs 'of buying via company. I attach this document property via company - no third parties.docx

The simple fact is that a Condo is not a hotel. The condo needs a hotel license for short term bookings. Given that a condo is not a hotel -then all short term leases are illegal. 6 months lease is fine

Is that stated on their website. If so perhaps you could guide me to it?

I received a pair of shoes -from Lazada. Opened the package -decided that I did not like them . i did not wear them -simply photographed them and proceeded to make a return . The advert said 'Change of mind and 7 day return' My claim and protest were rejected. Why? Because I had opened the package. Q . Do the readers of this post remember a time when this limitation did not exist? Please let me know-I am curious

if they raise the debt ceiling -given the difficult economic times-then they will have to raise it forever. If they raise it -and the chances are they will-then they need to scrap it. Borrowing will only stop when the market refuses to lend

It is my belief that the rise in the Baht is a BOT initiative . Motive . To make oil purchases cheaper. Keep the Thai population happy. Political move

It is the role of the JPM to submit the budget-not the committee. The procedure which you describe i.e. hold an EGM is the only procedure available. Clearly this can be held only after discussion with the 'nay sayers'. Budgets typically through without objections.

Suspect that the Thai government has instigated this move. Their motive -keep imports of oil as cheap as possible -i .e .keep the Thai subjects happy. If so it is a reasonable move. Obviously Thai exports may suffer.

Correct. Keep the cost of oil stable.

Would you describe your building as large?

You are correct. Increasing the Common Fee is just about impossible. The solution -special assessment(SA). In the building where I live this option has been adopted twice. 1st for a sinking fund -the 2nd for general expenditure. It can only happen at an AGM or an EGM. A simple majority vote is required at a legally convened general meeting. That is it. In my building these SA's have a life span of 3 years. After which they have to be renewed. Very simple. Without them the building where I live would be in serious trouble

Who is legally responsible for paying the electricity bill in your condo The co owner or if appropriate the tenant?

When the monies are all paid-you will be reliant on the seller helping you with the title deed transfer. Nothing to stop the seller from refusing . Suspect a legal contract will not help. Not in this country!

The name on the bill will always be the co -owner. If the tenant does not pay -for any reason. Then the co -owner has to pay. Management should advise the co -owner of his/her responsibilities.

Wise -in the regular 'Transfer' way-is not a bank.

Farang female marries a Thai man. They have 4 children -all Thai nationals. The husband abandons his wife and family. He leaves Thailand. She is still under 50 Q how can she legally live and work in Thailand?

If this is OK with Swedish Embassy-probably not available from British embassy. Income support letters for retirement visa extension are not available from British embassy. It used to be! Certain countries still issue such letters in Thailand. For certain the British and American (and others) embassies do not.

Just curious. Q Does the Chonburi Land Office grant permission to Thai Companies (foreigner Controlled )to register the following into such Thai Companies? A Condominium Apartments. B Land -i.e. Houses. Are there any restrictions on such registrations?

As I understand it -immigration need to see evidence of 800000 Baht in the bank. They do not specify how the money ended up in Thailand. It just has to be there. Monthly money is different. The applicant has to prove it comes from outside Thailand-every month 65000 Baht. If you use the SWIFT system -that is in itself is evidence enough. Using Wise means you have to select -Long term stay in Thailand-option on the dropdown.
