  1. title says it all. i picked up a house in a distressed sale, to generate investment income. The Chanoet title is registered in my girlfriend's name. I part financed it. Can i register my loan on the title deeds (which currently show there are no charges registered) ?
  2. interesting comment. i wonder if the elephant sanctuary guy in Phuket owned the property. His hissy wife claimed that she had some hi-so connections. since it was beach front, you can bet dollars to doughnuts that if it was owned by a nominee company - it's gone.
  3. I see nobody is mentioning the elephant in the room. In 9 out of 10 of these legal 'constructs' , the expat who is residing in the house is is living there rent free. the first piece of chit to hit the fan is when DBD starts looking at all of these expat (minority owned) companies and discovers that it owns property,, but there is no rental income.
  4. To all. I will check with my buddy when he gets back this month. what i quoted was hearsay.
  5. I just got an update on that. a friend visiting the UK (well, England to be specific, and it's out in the countryside,) at the moment. Was advised that they do not recognize an IDP. so he is 84 years old and is forced to get around by train, bus/taxi and walking. Nice people, pity about the country.
  6. No medical certificate required? i just renewed my Thai drivers license, here in NST. officer was very helpful. they had their own list of docs required. one unfortunate aspect is, I had to got to IO, way south of where i live, to get a residency cert. which required 1-2 passport type photos.ok that is normal procedure, now that i am applying for a IDP, i will need to repeat the exercise, go get a 2nd Residency Cert. then go back to the Licensing office with the docs you listed. one unknown there are 2 different websites i researched. one said you need a Residency Cert. the other website said you did not need one. makes a huge difference for me at from home to IO is 170 km .
  7. 'The Order' an excellent movie just out. Jude Law stars and co produced. based on a true story - about who wants to control the US
  8. there goes the dollar, the stock markets (including Thailand's which has the worst performance in 2024 . down down down.
  9. unfortunately the law here provides for nothing more than a slap on the wrist - and then you're back out on the street destroying peoples lives. i know a Thai single mother who had 'pay day' loans. the worse part was you could not re pay the loan principal, installments. so you were locked up in loan jail, so to speak. when we head that they started repossessing her house hold contents, we we refinanced her out, with a no-interest loan and a low repayment affordable schedule. these are the issues the incompetent government should address.
  10. been there, done that. got banned for a bit. no problem . I learned how it can ruin your day when you post comments like these. it has to be stopped. I noticed on the news today elsewhere, that the UK wants to introduce a law to make it illegal to ''plan'' to protest. count your blessings, that you are living in a country that has not reached that level of paranoia - yet
  11. It's not just her. It is the ''Toxin era'' a long series of mistakes and corruption. all to the detriment of Thailand #1 the Alpine & other land scandals. #2 the corrupt sale of the nation's satellite orbit rights to Singapore, via AIS. #3 putting his economically (both micro and macro) incompetent sister in power, at a cost of hundreds of billions of baht. #4 as you describe her, he never should have let his cookery class graduate daughter running the show. what comes to mind is (can't remember Shakespeare's lines - ''will nobody rid me of this menace'' because Thailand is now a ship without a rudder, nor a competent captain. the bright side - at least we don't live in Gaza
  12. Toxin is losing his grip on reality. Desert sand or just the smell of money has corrupted his brain.he was a brilliant first- time PM. then his son got hooked on ''you-know-what''; so he turned to the dark side, with the war on drugs and maybe 1000-2000 dead innocents. since then, it has been a series of mistakes & corruption
