I've bought more than 100 items on Lazada & Shopee and never once got free shipping .....

so my answer to your question is no ...   

 

it's called deceptive marketing. 

Hahaha.... can it be that you ordered it all on your PC?

1. Best way  is to find the things on the pc because easier to see & translate, ....
2. Put it in the cart.

3. Open the Lazada App on your phone and choose the Free Shipping Vouchers.
4. Order it with the phone app.

I have almost 98% of all orders Free Shipping.

The wallet is a scam. It’s just a way not to give refunds. They make a lot by doing this. People who get refunded are lucky. 

Why? You can let pay it out from the wallet to your Lazada registered Thai Bank Account.

And why shouldn't a retailer do that?

They lost me as customer. I go now Lotus or Mini-BigC were they don't do it!!!

There are restrictions on alcohol!!!

1. Under Thai law you must be 20 years old to buy it legaly.
2. You can only buy alcohol between 11 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to midnight. 

The 2. restriction is complete nonsens if they check buyers about the 1. restriction.

But it is a real stupid restriction if you drive just once the week into the city for shopping. This are the times with the most traffic and if you are just 1 second to late at the cashier you don't get alcohol. And if you drink beer which you can't buy everywhere (Leo Strong No.8) 😎 you have a real problem. 
The staff in 7/11 are the best. If you want to buy a box of 12, they will charge you the bottle price * 12 or they not sell the box.

So the government is rightly doing a backflip on the mess caused by Mr Auntin. Its been a balls-up from the start but what do you expect from him. 

 

The solution to the problem is to only have medical cannabis distributed by clinics in Thai government hospitals throughout the country. Close ALL other retail shops

 

Its the only viable solution. The government should pay compensation to retail shops when closing. End of story. 

 

Thoughts?

And the same with alcohol!!! So it can be only used for desinfection!!!

But I think too that the land laws need a update.
Farangs can buy up to 1 Rai for build a house
and/or
Real Estate Villages own the land but farangs can buy/sell the houses with 100% ownership and pay a yearly rent for the land.

But ... I not believe this will ever come.

I'm not promoting company ownership - quite the opposite. I was simply pointing out that the information posted was incorrect.

Sure the information are 100% correct because farangs can't be the 100% owner of a Ltd. which can & had bought land titles in thailand.
This will be all the time a risk. You must trust other people, oftens someone you don't know. And you can find with google enough cases where it gone wrong. Maybe for a Real Estate & US citizen it give other rules.

Whilst I agree that using a Thai Limited Company to own land is against the law if the business is not actually trading and/or has no reason to own land, your statement is incorrect.  If the company is correctly structured and the Thai shareholders shares don't include voting rights, they cannot get rid of the foreign shareholding/directorship. The Thai shareholders though, may have to prove where they got the money from to buy the shares and that they bought them for investment purposes. Your wife's granny might have a problem claiming she's a legitimate investor.

 

There are several types of business where a company with foreign shareholding can own land legally - a property development/investment business for example.  A shophouse, used for a business that a foreigner is legally allowed to be involved in should also be OK.

 

However, I doubt that a Thai court would be convinced that a company owning just one piece of land/house and renting that out to a director was a legitimate property investment business. It all hangs on that word - circumvention.

 

They may exist but I'm yet to see an example of a Thai Limited Company with foreign control owning a piece of land legally when we are talking about single plots containing just one house. Most seem to be fake companies, submitting accounts and paying a little tax - as such I'm sure that each one of them is at risk if they are investigated.

 

What I find unfair, if its true, is that when such 'fake' companies are discovered, is that the penalty is forfeiture.  Deeming the ownership contravenes the Thai land laws and ordering the sale of the property would be a much fairer way of dealing with the matter.

 

Personally, I find the Thai land laws archaic and xenophobic, they cause lots of problems for married couples and should be reformed. I don't see why a foreigner married to a Thai can't own property but have to sell it within a set time should they divorce - much like the rules on what happens when a Thai wife dies and wills a property to a foreign husband.

But what you wanna do if a shareholder want to sale his share? If him go to court for get the money for it? And 100% him can sue you.

You have to pay him out or risk the outcome will be that him is just a nominee and the company construction is illegal.

At latest if you die the shareholders want THEIR PART and your heritage have pay him/her out.

This can't be true as know it all's are always telling us buying a house via the company route with Thai shareholders owning 51% is legal. Until you die it seems then the greedy rats decide it's not and want to take it away from your estate.

It is, was and will ever be ILLEGAL!!! And the farang hold only 49%, so the other shareholders have the right for get their 51%!!!

It seems that is not so easy in Thailand.

I spoke with a guy who lives in a condominium. Next to him is always a lot of noise from the people who rented that unit.

He told the building management and they told him they can't do much.

He asked them to contact the owner. The condominium management told them they don't know the owner and they don't have any contact information.

 

Maybe someone here knows how to handle noisy neighbors who are not the owners. 

Call the police!!! If they not react, call newspapers and report it!!!

Every time the nylon rope hang at the hole. I made the hole a little bigger. Than the end piece hang down and the sling close from alone. Once after some month the first rope was rotten from the sun. Another time the dogs bites the rope, ...

I had only problems with it.

But this metal snake cater works well. 

I bought last year a 1.5m snake catcher after I found out the plastic water pipe with nylon rope not worked well.

I used it 3 times already but 2 times of it the snakes was already killed from my thai dogs. 😒
I really like this snake catcher,

slightly OT ... when getting ATM cash using your foreign debit card do you pay a conversion fee ?  reason I ask is I made a 10k baht withdrawal, and was charged the usual 220 baht here, but also $13 conversion fee by my bank ( or building society actually )  so the 10k cost 520 baht ....

This is your own fault. Never ever accept a conversion at the ATM. Only choose THB. Otherwise they charge you extremly high fees for nothing.
