11 hours ago, Kadilo said:He has paid 20,000 baht towards her funeral?
He clearly didn’t think that much of her.
Have you ever been to a Thai funeral, the whole village usually attend all supplying donations. Catering is done by locals and it's far from a sombre affair. It's not a wedding to show wealth it is a celebration of a better after life.
People come from far and wide, eat drink and be merry, 20k is more than sufficient to contribute to Lao kao and Larb moo.
It's really not about money.

from what I saw of the Wifes village with a sign proclaiming "This is a red village" peer pressure will ensure anyone saying any different gets squashed. Theyre all crap
In 2010 (in Isaan) I'll never forget men in red shirts queuing up for buses to Bangkok, so they could could collect their 500 baht a day "expenses". Time magazine got it right with their front page and swapping one paid for leader with a leader that has been inflicted on the people is not the answer.
PS kannot sorry for the little rant It's not aimed at you.

I had the misfortune of having a Yaba dealer as a neighbour when I lived in a village appoximately 60km from Udon. So many posters claiming their village is different, however I can assure you 90% of their customers you would never have guessed were users. Well dressed, nice cars, young and old Yaba doesn't discriminate, certainly opened my eyes that it is rife in the boonies.

Exactly this, there are lawyers that state a nor sor 3 gor title deed is not recommended for foreigners. I'm no expert but there maybe something preventing the change of deed to a chanote, seek a conveyancer.Ok.
Here is the update. I have been to the local land office. No encumbrances against the property, however the deed is not a full chanote, it is Nor Sor Sam Gor.
After some research on NSSG I have learnt that:
- It is possible to register a sale or lease and apply and obtain approval to build on this land.
- It is possible to have the land office survey the land and have the title upgraded to Chanote
- Has anyone every petitioned the land office to do a survey and to convert the title to a Chanote. What is involved with that process, how much does it cost, and how long does it take?
- Is it possible to register a usufruct upon a Nor Sor Sam Gor title deed?
- From what I have read the only con to NSSG is late squatters can take adverse possession after only 1 year as opposed to 10 years with Chanote.
You have all these questions ... but you won't go and get proper legal advice from a lawyer to cover yourself.
You'll take forum advice instead. That's asking or trouble ....
seek proper advice.
To be more precise.....foreigners cannot buy land....Period! Therefore any form of title is NOT recomended to foreigners ....Execptions...foreigners can buy condos or own the building on the land.
As in everything .....Price reflects the risks....Personally... I think the price OP is paying covers the risk and is well worth it.
Apparently there are 4 catagories of land ownership

Nor sor sam gor is the next best to a Chanote
With that said ....I also agree that it would be best to talk to a lawyer ....just to make sure everything is on the "up and up"
Price doesn't reflect risk, if this is a bargain then it can be bought 100% risk free. It just needs a conveyancer to make sure it's legit.
What worries me is why a full chanote hasn't been petitioned to the land department already, has there been opposition to it?.
It maybe just it's never been requested, but it needs an expert eye. Good luck to the OP.

Wonder if martial law is now on the cards?.
No need to. Article 44 gives every authority (and does not sound so martial).
I was thinking more of movement curfews and such like, as to remain order. But you're right, guess I should have thought that through.

One of the first indications I seen of a foreigner that may have been covering up for the owner of in touch (mon) was this on Facebook .
This guy states "All the AC staff have been dna tested and cleared", not a 100% credible source however another source stating dna was taken before.

Could be based on a Thai hanuman.

i dont care if she was drunk, mentally ill, on acid or having a bad day.
So much compassion for the mentally ill, lol.If she acts like this she should be banned from flying from all airlines for life.
my compassion is for the other people on the flight.
lol.
Lets hope you don't have a head injury and are classed unfit to fly. This woman is only really a danger to herself, your compassion for passengers isn't needed.

Wow, this thread has run away. Let me guess, a handful of fossilised homophobes venting their spleen, thinly disguising it as concern for the child.
Those nineteen fifties propaganda films really worked.

It's Thailand, you can do what you want here. Want to make a depraved sex video and hurl racial slurs.....can. Want to solicit children for sex.....can. Want to buy drugs.....can. Doesn't mean that it's right or legal. But, there is money to be make in sex and drugs, so we know it will be overlooked. I love how he government overlooks all of this crap, then will act surprised when it all comes out on social media.
Racism is endemic in UK and very little is done about it. It's a part of their culture and has been ever since the days of exploitation & colonialism. For some bizarre reason they're taught that they are superior to everyone else. Seems ridiculous, but delusions often are.
It's a "societal problem:"
Racism is rife in English football with over 350 incidents from the Premier League to grassroots since 2012, investigation reveals
- An investigation has revealed a widespread racism problem in England
- Information from 24 police forces - only around half of the number in the country - reported over 350 incidents since 2012
- Chelsea supporters have been involved in the highest number of incidents
- Charity Show Racism The Red Card said racism is a societal problem
Brits are taught to be superior, you couldn't make up some of the crap you read on here.
The sad thing is you believe it.

There is so much to discuss however, be it article 44 or talking about the Thai 'constitutional monarchy', it's impossible.
How can Thailand be democratic if the Thai population are silenced?.

70-80% rejection rate?, what's wrong with you?.

Ok, but shouldn't one be able to perceive how their words will potentially hurt someone's feelings?
Must admit it does seem harsh but some Thai's are just brutally honest, you're too fat, too skiny etc. Don't think there's any malice meant, it's just they presume you will be aware of their observation. 99% of the time you are aware and they are right.

I thought in the UAE it's an offence to have sexual relations outside a heterosexual marriage. Best to avoid such draconian countries, out of principal alone.

Looking in the Thai press it doesn't look like there was a struggle, also it wasn't a 'mini' fridge but one that he could hang around his neck while sitting upright. It also names the poor bloke, looks odd but quite feasible.
Condolences.

At least he had the sense to not give his name, google never forgets. I'll just call him mister Zappa.

When I read the headline I presumed it would be another restaurant with an even more dubious reputation.

As we can't link the Bangkok post, here is another source as to what Andy Hall recently said.

Even if the house is in your wife's name always expect it to be her parents until they pass. This will likely mean free run for all family and sometimes close friends, forget your privacy. Your wife being the youngest has been given the obligation to look after the parents and her sister who got the loan knows it. It sounds like the sister is taking the mick and hoping little sis and her farang hubby will come along and bail them out.
Having myself lived in a house with an ex and her parents, I have to say you really need to want to do it yourself, because your wife's decisions will be swayed by family.
If you have made up your mind and are doing it, then I sure hope you have plans for a little privacy. Being the youngest daughter of a poorer family is a crap deal and they've often been groomed to forget about themselves. If it was me I would run, but maybe its too late for you.

There's hundreds of different types of termites, but they do sound like termite swarmers.

When rape, killing and robbery/theft are legalised, crime rates would fall by more than 80% too.In the few countries that all drugs have been legalised, the crime rate dropped more than half. The prisons emptied. In fact drug addiction goes down. With accessible treatment centers, people choose to stop taking drugs all by themselves. After they get through their addiction,former addicts are know to be hard workers and dedicated family carers. The drug war has been failing for years. Time to try something different.
Addict's need to fund their habit's and turn to crime to pay for it, hence a drop in crime when legalised. Your comparison is nonsense.
