Correct and a viable choice..Just make sure you trust the thai company..(normally the builder or the property management) does not go out of business.. Normally they do.. Not of of bankruptcy but other thing.. Like giving up .. resold or similar.. If so.. its not always granted its an easy transfer process.

Taxes on the thai company has to be paid two times a year along with the accounting expenses. Maintenance should be calculated to maybe around roughly 100 000 a year.. That is for paint.. Repair of pipes.. , toilets.. , sprayers.. new tables.. revarnishing.. , oiling up doors.. , windows... Changing tiles.. etc.. It depends if you want to keep it spiffy or not. Gardeners... 2-5000 baht a month.. Pool same.. So there goes around 10k.. then a maid set you back around the same.. So then.. electric, maid, gardener, pool care, and maintenance funds... Around 50 a month or a little less hopefully.... Then there is the new land tax that is around 1-2-3% (depending on ownership and type of house, villa, hotel , business etc..) Then with a villa of this size.. Ecxpect electric pr. airconditioner to be around 1500 pr. month so with 5 airs blasting its 7500.. plus washing machines.. speakers.. tvs.. etc.. garden .., pumps.. all that.. Its easy 10k a month.. If you only use one aircondition 8 hours a night.. of course.. much less. This was a rant.. sorry about that.. , But its more or less.. Put off 200 000 for all expenses a year or a little more.. and you will be on the safe side ... Normally. Renting is cheaper.. but more expensive in the long rund since one normally gain value of the house and land over time.. However.. That is of course not a sure thing. Build and buy if you dare.. It normally comes out cheaper.. But i know people have different needs and different budgets.. and some simply dont care which is fine.. You have to weigh in your own personal requirements and needs.

Of course.. of course.... 1.3 meter depth with my example is like you say bigger... equals about 52 m3

correct.. Even with saltwater chlorination it is useful and if not mandatory to now and then "shock chlorinate" it a little bit now and then .. Depending on rain etc.. The weather in other words... Salt should be main source though for the chlorinator to do its work.

Believe it or not. Thailand’s broadband internet speed is ranking number 1 https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2054991/thailand-tops-internet-speed-testing

Increase either or both the salt amount in the pool OR increase the flow of the pump thus resulting in more salt passing the chlorinator. Make sure chlorinator is correct spec according to the size of the pool(often meassuerd in m3 on chlorinators) a "normal" home pool for example of 8x5=40m3. Chlorinators have this in the specs.

Yes. We also use 3bb. But the answer is more what location you are in. 3bb is best many places.. AIS might be better somewhere else based on their lines.. True or even 5ghz over the phone might be best for some people also...

Its like this. You can apply for a DL based on tourist visa and get 2 years temporary license.. IF you want to renew it again under a tourist visa you get 2 more years.. If you have a Non Immigrant(O, A , X or other) or of course different visas like diplomatic, Education visa or whatever you get 5 years on the extension.

Melantonin is the bodys natural sleeping pill. The brain produces it.. However.. This is why they call it a drowsiness pill. Bad translation , but it makes you naturally sleepy.. but not if you are excited or have general medical problems.. I think ... not sure. the point is that once i has helped you sleep the bodys natural mechanism takes over... It helped for me withouth any bi effect, but that was some 20 years ago.

No..hehe.. BUT.. they actually made a case out of this i saw in the news.. Will be funny to see how that escalates.

Well.. maybe just start another school, but maybe you have to restart that from outside again.

If it can be proven beyond doubt.

You can give a power of attorney to a lawyer in Thailand to execute it.

Very very sad indeed.

Well.. seems we are going in circles.. I do understand the rules the same as you.. Im just saying they told me to take theory and practical exam once again after 1.5 years already. I know they practice 3 years sometimes. I have also just been told that.. However.. 1 year seems to be the norm here in Phuket. However.. I produced an international license and asked them to just renew it again or convert it you might say. This was withing their capability and was so done. However.. In the end they gave up that and just gave me a license since it as they said it did not make sense to replace the old with a new one since i had the license already for 15 years. Anyway.. It was good for me since i then got 5 more years and not the regulatory 2 on a new one which i anticipated i had to do. I am not saying anything you say is wrong.. ????

The law has been in existence for around 15 years already.. Maybe more. Its just that the law in existence was much easier with a requirement of 10 millions invested. Seems they have just inflated it and called it new. As far as I understand selling that before to a Thai owner was never out of the question either. I am wrong of course.. I have to be, but I see this new law as the same just 4 times more draconic.
