spasticated

Hi Im buying a second hand condo next week in Bangkok its 2 years old it will cost about 1.35 million baht does this now mean I wont have to pay about 2% tax when I buy this but 0.01%? I was planning on having to pay about 70,000 baht in tax to change the name over to me. I saw there was some law about selling condos less than 5 years old having a higher tax on them.

Any advice on this greatly appreciated and thanks to Bendix for picking up on this even if it doesnt apply to me .

My wife like many Thais is convinced people born with no arms or legs deserved this as they were bad in a previous life. I spent many hours talking to her about DNA and damage to this and associated problems followed by a nice chat about thalidamide drugs and general birth defects as my Brother is mentally handicapped. She was amazed and I am staggered they still believe this crap in 2008!! Keeps them all "dwon and in their place" I suppose!!

She has a nephew who was born with an eye problem and I asked if he had been bad in a previous life too? She said no he handt so i asked her at what point does a birth defect mean you "have" been bad, ie born with 6 fingers does it mean you have been good or bad? etc etc I think she may be changing her opinion but she had certainly never heard of DNA and she has a degree but then again its a "Thai" degree and after speaking to a Thai/Australian she told me its all parott fashion learning here.

He may not have a pleasant time getting a visa but that is what he needs.

Hi Lopburi so he is in Cambodia now can he do this I mean get a visa in Cambodia ie torusit visa and then go back into Thailand? Thanks

A Canadian friend of mine came to Bangkok and has just used up his 3 VOA's and is now in Cambodia, can he just get a "tourist visa" in Cambodia for another 3 months stay back in Thailand or will he still not be allowed back in again? What are his options without going back to Canada

Thanks

Located in Issan, or Phayao maybe ? How about " I found an ant on my plate"<br /><br />I am 100% convinced that in EVERY country in the world, this kind of "event" happens quite often....As long as waiter/waitress is not busted, why should he/her do the extra effort ?? That's a non event, and Thailand is no different from any other place.....Careless people are everywhere. And bacteries are not selective<br /><br />Next ????.....<br />

And customer service???? sorry forgot "TIT" .Its just polite to change the fork.
