Please rent before buy the condo in Bangkok. there're so many hidden problems. I have a room in Baan Sathorn Chao praya. My parking building is now a little village for employees and manager. Rooms being rent to the short term tourists. Many lawsuits against owners . Please be careful.

University students joining political turmoils... not a great idea.

A very tragic incident but saying that students(the future of a country) should not be politically involved is incorrect.

Hopefully this is not the start of something worse.

looks like a job done by PAD. so that they can make the ram uni student angry. They have the largest number of student and history of striking against the government.

Finally some special sweet underground natural paper movements of the Thaksin's family come to light.

I just hope that not only the postmen will be jailed? They need to follow up of course!

Cross my fingers. Justice shall prevail!

One of the lawyer is in Bumroongrath Hospital on 7 floor. He suppose to be is in jail with the other lawyers.

I'm new to the forum, so sorry if these questions are kind of basic. I have a one year "O" category visa, multiple entries allowed, in my US passport. This visa will expire in three weeks. To get an extension for a year, do I fill out the form TM 7, Application for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom, and what additional papers/forms do I need to bring along? I will be going to the Immigration Office at Suan Phlu in Bangkok. Also, the visa states: "Extension of stay not permitted." Is that hard and fast, or does it just mean I have to fill out the extension request before the visa expires?

Thanks,

OC

Thank you all for your valuable comments!

I am also concerned by the location even if I believe that the private pier and the future extension of the BTS line will make it less of a problem.

The view from the apartment I am thinking of has nothing special (I'll be lucky if I can see the river) but the price for upper units is almost double...

The facilities, the greenery and the "river side effect" (being not a native english speaker sorry if it sounds strange ) will hopefully make the condo attractive...

That's a bit of a risk to take though...

I'd like to get this thread merged into one of those cost of living threads we see so much of in this forum

Great idea

Baan Rajchaprasong is a leasehold condo, be very careful when deal with this project. They are having many problems with the last condo right now.

I bought a room at Baan Sathorn Chao Phaya. It's a nightmare. The same owner is also selling a new project at Baan Rachprasong. Buyer beware.
