  1. There is very little resolve to enforce when the majority of owners in a condo bought to let out. As I said, IMO liberalisation of ST lets is next.
  2. IMO liberalisation of ST lets is next to stimulate the condo market, so it will be Thais buying to ST let also.
  3. Gonna require a lot of baskets woven to move the needle on GDP. I suppose next up is compulsory attendance at a traditional handicrafts demonstration up a dirt track somewhere as a condition of an extension.
  4. It seems a lot of people, but not all get treated - I believe the law was changed in response to a certain type of abuser. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/help-for-nhs-to-recover-costs-of-care-from-visitors-and-migrants/settled-purpose-tool
  5. Seriously, according to a car full of nurses: Polite, confident, well dressed (assuming financial hurdles have been met), and you can't be handsome if you don't smile.
  6. I think it depends on how much the locals think you can pay and how gullible you are or are not. Transport isn't cheap I hear.
  7. beat me to it - I have never been and that is my ideal.
  8. Fish and loaf every day can get tiresome, even though it is free when you make it yourself.
  9. Fabulous Doctors at the Police General Hospital. Cured him of chronic life threatening conditions within months.
  10. He might be reminded that he said he was a sick old man coming back to die in his homeland* and play with his Grandchildren. * I mean Thailand, not China.
  11. I had a vision of Srettha welcoming Broken Tooth at the airport.
  12. Not had much experience with the type of Brits who go to Spain?
  13. Immigration eliminated any goodwill between me and them* with their making filing of TM30 the problem of the extension holder despite the requirement for documentation from the owner, and refusing to process extensions without one. Filing as "Possessor", you are dependent on documents from a third party who may not want to provide them. If a Landlord hasn't filed then shouldn't it be the Immigration Bureau, a division of the RTP who goes after this lawbreaker? CW in fairness will apparently accept a lease and utility bills receipts for filing as "possessor" but it's not a given - agent wheedling required - they prefer the owner docs and that is what was required by an agent filing on my behalf. Another agent who did my TM47 at CW told me they need TM30 to do it. It has also made moving apartments trickier - you can tell a Landlord that unless he provides the necessary TM30 docs you won't sign, but he still might waste your time with the old "I've been renting out for 20 years, you don't need a TM30" *yes I know, they are probably not all that bothered.
  14. 10,000 baht a month used to be the money demanded by Mama to raise the kid and its new motorbike and gold.
  15. I think Switzerland was pressured into accepting "Peaceful" people from the Balkans, but no they were not totally stupid - shortly after that they stopped the requirement for male citizens to have a state supplied military rifle and 20 rounds at home.................
  16. Do they perhaps know something our idiot politicians don't?
  17. Yes, but that is just coincidence. Like all rich Thai Chinese he is deeply concerned about the ordinary people and hopes more of them will be employed as maids in condos.
  18. Followed by a change the rules on ST lets so not long after you have bought your condo you have all night partying Russians slamming doors, and furniture moving Chinese next door. Smells of Indian cuisine permeating the building.
  19. here, let me fix that: Despite the boost in foreign ownership percentage, control over the developments will remain in Thai hands. Foreigners purchasing up to 75% of condominium units will not gain additional voting rights in the management of these properties, ensuring problems are never solved. better?
  20. Coming next, revamp of hotel and condo act to allow ST lets.
  21. Please do tell - sometimes I have to look at more than one photo to tell. Would love to know how to weed them out.
  22. Goes without saying that these requested pathways end at other peoples neighborhoods, not their own. it's always "refugees welcome in somebody else's neighbourhood"
  23. Looks a bit like: "the kind of work Thai people don't like to do". Not sure what kind of work they do like to do.
  24. If you mean buying votes with other people's taxes, yes.
