It seems there will be no problem with increased queue lengths as there wil be less people coming as they are sick of the delays already.  Now if that was for leaving understandable as security on flights is a problem though less risky than the busses.

May a Thai minor child of a foreign national own land?

Answer:

A Thai minor born from a foreign parent can acquire land providing that the land acquisition is not done for the purpose to circumvent or evade the law. If a person wishes to give a piece of land to a Thai foreign-born minor as a gift then the authority shall inquire into his/her intention to give the gift to the minor and into his/her legal relations with the minor. If the property to be given as a gift is acquired by purchasing, it must be determined out of whose money the acquisition is made.

To transfer a land to a minor child has several drawbacks. The main drawback is that the power of the child parents to use the land will be severely restricted. Pursuant to Section 1574 of the TCCC, a person exercising parental power: “Cannot enter into any of the following juristic acts with regard to the immovable property of the minor, except with the permission of the Court.”

Acts that cannot be done without the Court permission are: selling, exchanging, selling with right of redemption, letting out property on hire purchase, mortgaging, releasing mortgage to mortgagor or transferring the right of mortgage on immovable property or on mortgage able movable property. Extinguishing the whole or a part of real rights of the minor on immovable property. Creating servitude, right of inhabitation, right of superficies, usufruct or any charges on immovable property; disposing of the whole or a part of the claim the purpose of which is to create real rights on immovable property or on mortgage able property, or the claim of which the purpose is to have a real right on such property of the minor relieved; and letting immovable property for more than 3 years.Source: www.COMPANYVAUBAN.com

All of the above ^^^.

 

AND

 

Don't forget that pretty well anywhere in Thailand a structure of this magnitude is going to need some form of planning permission and that will need drawings certified by a Thai structural engineer.

 

 

Do not forget that the government has compete plans for many structures including possibly this one which are allready approved.  In some cases they are close to free.  Getting planning permision  is not necescarily a straight forward process.

http://www.crossy.co.uk/Thai_House_Plans/

these are house ones someone :) has put online.  THre are ones for factories too but you will probably need a thai to find them.

I also notice that in your drawing you have a very low pitch angle...5 degreees or so at a guess  If a wind flies over that it will make a perfect airfoil.  I think it will need to be a lot steeper.

we get our airconditioner that is in daily 24 hr use cleaned once every three months inside and out and the others 4 in total in two houses once a year.  The cost inside and out of  anormal service is 300 baht and sometimes there is 50 baht extra for gas.  This year he asked to do a complete clean for the one that has been used nonstop for 5 years for which he charged 1000 baht a job which took him two hours and completely dismanting and removing all parts for cleaning etc,  Runs like a drem now.  this is in Chiangrai.

I thought one of the ways they built large roofs like that now was to use high pillers and have the roof structure suspended from them..sort of like a suspension bridge.

         It's tempting for journalists to ignore people who are rude to them.  However, it's journalists' jobs to report things.  Often, it's uncomfortable or distasteful to dig up a story.  Trump and Spicer are making things difficult for journalists.   I admire journalists for hanging in there and asking tough questions, even when their q's are scoffed at.  And there's the endless lies and diversions from Trump and his people.   Journalists have to try and wade through all that BS.

 

           If journalists took the easy route, and ignored people who are rude to, and lying to them, then we, the general public, wouldn't be informed.   That's what Trump and Bannon want.  T and B and Tillerson and all of Trump's people would much rather have the general public simply lap up all their BS lies at face value. 

 

 

I think you misunderstood a little.  I did not mean that the media should not report.  Just that they do not provide a free ride for all the good news stories that the pollies want published.  I it is news of course they should publish but opening a bridge in a pollitician;s electorate is hardly earth shattering, but is what is usually reported to help the pollie in return for his access for less desirable stories for him.

I do not know why the news agencies just play the game....no access = no publication of the things the pollies want published...their media releases with things that will help their next campaign.

Your child can own land.  The problem with it being in a childs name is it basically cannot be sold or borrowed on or otherwise alienated until he is 20 years old.  The courts can give pernission but it is pretty safe to say that they never will.  This even applies to University fees. I know someone who tried with a block of land bought for that purpose.

It is reasonable not to act in a way that afffects others adversely.  Load behavior or throwing things around could be part of this.  Licking a lid has no adverse affect on the other person so the correct thing for them to do is ignore it as objecting is going to affect the licker adversly.

Little sympathy if the people "fined" were not wearing helmets  or were riding uninsured vehicles.

those who think the water is of no consequence should read this.

Firstly she has been told to leave and is breaking the law by remaining.

Second the ambulance attended when called time was wasted by the temple trying to get vehicles to enter through an unauthorised enterance.

Without taking sides too much the law is being broken by those remaining there and in any other country multiple arrests would have been made and if needed force used to arrest people or move them.  restraint has been admirable and maybe excessive.

Second InvadeIT.  Slightly higher prices but excellent service and the owner (a Scandanavian) speaks excellent English and they back up their goods.

Next Choice would be your local Advice store.

Every one of the 11 Million people who have sneaked into America over the last 20-30 years and all their families and children are a Threat?

Seriously? To Who? Children who were born there, and know no other place are a threat?

Did you think your comment through?

Immigrants, which incidentally is what built America, go there looking for a better life. Exactly what the Pilgrim Fathers did so may years ago. If they arrived today they would be thrown in jail and sent home!

Trump and his right wing fascists would have ignorant people confuse these generally honest, hard working people with terrorists, who are an entirely different animal.

Popular policy with the ill educated Redneck "They're takin our jobs." voters, but in reality, the overall majority of the 11 Million present absolutely no threat to America.

Many of them take the shitty low paid jobs the average American won't do.

So fine, deport them all and then wonder why you have no nannies for your kids and your garbage hasn't been collected for three weeks.

You try to have the rats feasting on youir garbage eradicated, but the pest control company has no staff. They all got deported!

These things should be thought through properly, which is not happening.

Knee jerk reaction by someone out of their depth, desperate for approval ratings.

What is the threat is the loss of control of who can live in the country.  Every immigrant who enters ilegally and is allowed to stay weakens that.

But they can.  They are a threat to the US and have no right to remain there.  They have no permission to remain in the US.  The same as here if you have no permission to remain you are detained at an immigration facility till you deport yourself.

Little problem with holding them in a detention centre until they document themselves.  

ow long the jail sentence willl be

If a thief gives you back the money he stole from you that will only solve part of the problem for him.  He is still liable to be charged for stealing it.  the fact he gave back the money may be taken into account by the court in deciding sentance.  

It is a similar situation  here.

She does not deserve to, her husband will not get his.

Selling a Car

The procedure for selling a used car in Thailand is similar to the one for buying one and is completed at the local DLT 
office.

The following methods can be used to advertise a used car for sale:

1.  Local newspaper classifieds, e.g. Bangkok Post, Phuket Gazette, Pattaya Mail
2.  Online forums, for example Thaicar.com
3.  Dealers (will offer low price)
4.  Place a sign on the vehicle and leave it in a well trafficked area

The seller must provide signed ownership documents

1.  The Blue Book
2.   A passport,
3.   Visa
4.   Work permit or a Certificate or Letter of Residence issued by Thai Immigration or their Embassy.
5.   If the previous owner is Thai they have to provide an ID card and House Registration Documents.

If the car is over seven years old it must have passed a road worthiness test. If the car has an up-to-date tax 
sticker this will prove that the road worthiness test has been carried out.

Normally the buyer and seller complete the transfer of ownership paperwork together at the local DLT office, 
but it is possible to give power of attorney to a third party.
 

Are you sure or do you have a work permit

I have come to the conclusion that the girl is from Cambodia and the Guy is aged over 50 and thus prohibited by Cambodian law from marrying.  

I would be happy to find I am wrong but that would explain the reason the thai Government requires her parents presence to give consent.

The law of her country is what matters as this is what the law in Thailand requires.  Not a letter from her embassy dispensing with this.  This is Thailand and has laws.  Many of them regarding marriage and travel are restrictive and much of this is due to pressure on them to prevent human trafficing which can take many forms.  If these relate to marriage age they are fully entitle to enforce them as would Switzerland.

A few THOUSAND Harry? I thought Thai jails were already overcrowded? What about the cost of care for them? Come to that isn't it all part of Religious Freedom granted to all religions in the Kingdom? Do you really want what Human Rights there still are here to be further eroded?

 

They may be misguided, probably are, but as they see it they are supporting their religious leader, even if he is a criminal. Locking them up for a year is overkill surely?

not much cost of care in a Thai jail.  Family has to send support.  Room 40 people one cup of rice and some fish head soup once a day.

And this is especially for supporting terrorism by a religeous congregation.

Countries would require their building codes followed than some article written by the UN.

 

For instance in Australia;

"Australian building law requires that in an emergency, the toilet door can be removed by someone on the outside. For example, in most cases, toilet doors must open outwards, slide, or be readily removable from the outside of the compartment. This requirement only applies if the space between the toilet pan and the door is less than 1200mm.

An inward swinging toilet door with lift-off hinges will typically have a gap between the top of the door and the under side of the head of the door frame. This is to allow sufficient movement upward so the pin in the door hinges can slip out of the hinge-blades screwed to the side of the door frame or style.

A suitable door latch should allow the door to be lifted upward and away even if it is in a locked position."

 

 

 

 

I will agree with that....

note....the inward door they are talking about has to have the correct hinges and space at the top to lift it off them and the special locks.  Are these the doors most people here are talking about?
