Our building of 99 units is pretty harmonious with decent owners. But, there's always one, and ours is a Thai owner who's a cheap charlie middle aged guy. At an AGM five years ago, he made a comment "we don't all have money like farang". I was the only farang present.

Our gym needed equipment replacing after 11 years. The cost of replacement equated to just 165 Baht per condo unit per year. Some proposed closing the gym or repurposing it into a library or common room (that's something that newer condos have and some residents camp out in the common room as they don't want to pay to use air conditioning in their own unit). I argued that although few use the gym, by not having a gym, the resale value of their unit or rental prospects might be affected. Anyway, sense prevailed and we got the gym equipment replaced.

 

It all depends on how strong your committee is. Mine is a one voice, one vote and I have been revamping the building in two years ( first time anything, but changing the bulbs in the lobby, had been done) . One just needs a majority of the votes from the co-owners attending the second call.

Sounds like you need to find something better to do with your life, why bother with all this hassle.

 

Never understood all these farang jobsworths on committees etc, who needs the hassle.

 

I own  a condo ( as a second property ) that i use once or twice a month for a few days, get all the newsletters and invited to the AGMs ( or whatever they're called ) and just think wtf, i think there's only about 5-6 people bother going to them tbh.

Well, that is not related to my query but thanks for your input

Hey everyone

Reviving this thread to ask a legal question

The above cited difficult co-owner is filing lawsuit after lawsuit against me personally and the Committee.

It is fine by me but the point is that he is accusing me of  having commanded the breaking of his car, stolen from the co-owners ....

This is ok because his lies will easily be proven but the lawyers say that no defamation case may be brought against him because his claims are only known by the court and this guy has carefully not spread it  In short no witnesses to whom he would have talked.

My question: is there a law somewhere in the Thai legal system to convict such false accusations or prevent this  from filing again ?

I am kind of tired of this troublemaker who wakes up and has nothing better to do but to file lawsuit based on his fantasy, notwithstanding the fact that he files with the civil court, hence he has no expense nor conviction whereas we have to pay the lawyers.and waste my time

Thanks for any insight

And how the kind of credit cards and their spending limit are of anybody's concern ?

Should be in your bye laws. You need to check out the definition of 'common areas.'

Maybe we live in the same building. We also have a guy like that in "my" building.

Because of this actions lots of important work is delayed.

In the case of the building where I live it seems at the end the building won court cases. But it takes forever and cost money.

As a matter of fact he has held hostage the previous committee (since 1990 ...until I took over and hopefully we will win but he is so sneaky that he confuses the courts (at least tries to) by mixing all events and twisting the facts

After two years,  he made a mistake and I am serving him a taste of his own medicine by suing him for defamation 

It must be noted that we have hired an excellent legal team even though our income is quite low ... it is worth it

Maybe he has mental issues, you could involve the police also. My condo, had the police come round for a meeting and said anymore trouble and you'll be deported

He is Thai and he has been suing the committee (and me in particular, which I could not care less ) so many times that I have lost count, threatening the Police and even the judges , forcing the Committee to plan a special decision on top of the general decisions  

On going cases for a couple of years already, finding ways to delay their courses and defy everybody

The only one in the building...it is his way of life

I would have thought that external areas are common property, it will be in the rules somewhere for who is responsible for what.  I dont think he has a say.

yep 
you are talking about the condominium act or the internal regulations ?

actually that is my question: to whom the external walls belong ?

He can't stop you painting the communal areas, he only owns inside his condo and balcony.  Use a lawyer if necessary payable by owners via juristic office.

Exactly my response ( for the first part 😊 but I was told by a lawyer on the team that the definition of the common area is the parts susceptible to be used by everyone 

that does confuse me 

The balcony, ok but the walls on either side of is unit ?

Good morning  Thank you for taking the time to read my question: The painting of a 22 story building  has been  voted by the General Assembly and will start soon. One ( malicious) co-owner is trying to stop the Juristic  from doing  it and… forbids the  workers  to paint the eternal walls I surrounding his flat

Result: the outside wall of 191 flats will be painted and  one flat will not be ….leaving a dirty stain on the face of the building

 Can this person stop us fro m painting ( from the outside ) ?

If he  can, is it possible ro sue him for damaging the image of the building ?

thanks 

( kindly comment on the legal approach of this matter and refrain from commenting the behaviour of the parties involved) 

have a great day

You can only search for and find records added in the last seven days.

 

You can just refile at any time, you do not have to re-register. Then search for this new, latest record, once displayed click on the magnifying glass to generate, download and print/save a PDF.

 

 

 

On the website. https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/TM30EN/index.html

 

 

Thanks you 

Still not clear 

Don't worry ... I will try again and if not successful I will make a visa run...Less bothersome than a trip to Chaeng Wattana in Bangkok

To register?

 

This varies and depends on the situation but generally speaking...

 

The owners ID

The housebook

Sorry I might have not been clear. I have registered the property and everything is in order. But what I have not been able to do is to 'declare" the guest (me) and I cannot access the guests I have recorded earlier

If you are using Jomtien, you must register again each and every time you come back into Thailand, even if it's the same address and you're on the same visa. If it's Jomtien you deal with, you're up for a 1,600 baht fine the next time you go there to deal with them.

Thanks 

No I am in Bangkok 

I will get out of the country then as it bothers me to go to the immigration and waste my time there 

Hey 

A few months ago I registered my property on the new website and entered my details fro which I fortunately made a screenshot.

Now I am trying to access the data showing the record .... There is no such a thing (unlike the old website where it could easily be spotted)

Anyone willing to point it for me ?

Also I left a month and, when back home, I tried to register my new dates: it did not work: I have heard it is not needed to register again. Can anyone confirm ?

Where can I find a step by step explanation for dummies for this website ?

Thanks 

Too many or not enough

This feeling of exclusivity has vanished

Maybe I am too old school

Summary:  One thing is clear:I have not understood any of the above comments. Mind you, I won't bother trying further either

And never set foot back there mainly. Far to much trouble for innocent civilians all with the support of the US. Even foreign ournalists have  been shot by the Israeli army like the lady reporting from Al Jazeera not to mention any others. At the end of the day the Russians in Ukraine are not the worst.

???? You mean that this excerpt from the above article "Regarding Thai citizens in Israel, the statistics show that 32 have lost their lives, 19 are injured, with six currently hospitalised. Additionally, 22 individuals have been taken hostage by Hamas." is the deed of Israelis ???? Unless these  victims were on Palestinian grounds, hence caught in a crossfire, or even fell under the attacks of the Israeli army, I do not see how that would be possible

Now, the fact that they would not want to return to Israel might be correct but certainly not based on your "insight"of the situation

Kindly note that I am not debating with you, therefore not expecting nor wanting a reply from you, as I am just stating the obvious
