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.

International Driving Permit from Surat Thani.
paddypower replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
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. -

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 . -
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.

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

Analysis Hun Sen's Diplomatic Coup Leaves Thai Prime Minister Reeling
paddypower replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 -
Analysis Hun Sen's Diplomatic Coup Leaves Thai Prime Minister Reeling

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 -
my wife & I (both western) were chatting to 2 young (mid 30's sisters (both divorced) who are friends/acquaintances ( we buy health supplements from the company they work for company for) . Their answers sort of shocked us into realizing that western preconceptions are wasted here. whether you're talking about bar girls, or not. to answer your question why ? ' because 'older men from the West are soft and make better husbands'., no wonder Thailand is called LOS

i have lost the bank address/details for WISE, because the complete bank address/details did not fit into the number of characters available at the Bank of Ireland. I had the same problem at CIBC Canada. has anyone experience they can shares with me, please. I transfer money both ways and I am fed up paying exorbitant FX rates. tia. i believe that is was the final item on this list which did not work: eg details to look for: Account Holder: Routing Number (for US payments): A 9-digit code identifying your bank for ACH and Wire payments. Sort Code (for UK payments): A 6-digit code identifying your bank and branch

Don't worry about the US's ability to continue manufacturing commercial jet planes. just 2 of many of the guys Trump has just ticked off (Canada and China) have either (i) the materials the US aviation industries need or (ii) have just cancelled large orders of planes. It should come as no surprise that Trump would get highly insulted, if someone suggested he read the Art of War, by Sun Tzu, before embarking on his tariff war.

workplace privacy being invaded - my gf's car was bugged

Private car. she's reported it to the police . -
workplace privacy being invaded - my gf's car was bugged
paddypower posted a topic in General Topics
she does not know whether to go to the police, or what to do? Is it legal for a workplace to record your conversations/track you movements? She found the bug in her car. important to note Please do not go down the rabbit hole of a jealous ex. she has been divorced 12 years . has 2 kids, he just upped and abandoned her, remarried and does not visit nor support the kids. my basic question is - what is the law, all joking aside. first thing I recommended is that she do is to wear surgical gloves and place the device in a ziplock bag (this may be a bit of an overboard reaction by me, but it is in case it needs to be fingerprinted for evidence). -

talk about fumbling the ball. ho ho ho 555 LOL. it was your 'hero' who did not have the balls to serve his country in the military, due to claiming he had (spontaneously appearing) bone spurs. It is the real American heroes who do not take daddy's money & influence to buy their way in life.

deflecting is a LAZY way of (non)participating in a thread. . you haven't responded to the specific point I made, which disgusts me. according to your boss, American taxpayers are now is going to get their money back - PLUS ''. as I wrote, what is he - a bloody money lender.? or is that part of your idea of American decency is?
