The Bad Boys:

and what did they possibly have used:

It's seems that someone installed some costly machines at the major local airports, by making to believe the rest of his fellow connationals that it was a way to detect a certain illness, not yet "classed" as a scam, but i wondering how much cash changed hands on and under the table....leave alone the firetrucks, the buses, the airplanes, endless........

There is at least one very sick and twisted mind opinionist in one of the two biggest english language newspaper, i can't remember which one, it was a young lady, i have no idea how a national newspaper can allow such a sick writing, i assume that the reason she's been put on the job are far from her professional or moral qualities...what can you do?

Then all the cr@p negative people on here turn my stomache

I don't think that people just get up in the morning deciding to be negatives for the rest of the day, i would look more into what make the people in question be negative in the first place, however this might be of some help in the mean time

Your suggestion / regurgitation that "superficies agreements die in Thailand with the life of the owner (section 1412)" is IMHO incorrect.

AFAIK section 1412 allows for superficies to be granted for a specified time (maximum 30 years), for the life of the land owner or the life of the superficiary.

Of course I may be talking out of my hat.

Yes it seems that it can be made for the life of the "superficiary" too, i guess only IsaanLawyers can explain to us what it meant with that statement, maybe there is something we are not aware of, don't know

This quote is extracted from a post made by IsaanLawyers: "superficies agreements die in Thailand with the life of the owner (section 1412)"

and you can find it here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Legal-Docume...us-t174469.html

more precisely the post number #25 on the line 42 ...just to make it easyer

why take the usufruct and not the 'Superficies' Agreement for life time and having the right to pass on to your hires and sell the rights ?

Hi SamILO, it seems that a "Superficies Agreement" will end if the owners of the land dies, so definetely not my choice, also it seems that with the right worded usufruct you can rent/sell too or at least that's what i understood till now, let me know if i am wrong, thank you

Why not use the sponsors of this site, or has anyone had bad experience with them ?

I have used Sunbelt for my Visa a few years ago and they were horrible! Their understanding of Thai law, the documents I needed and the rest of the process was entirely flawed despite my working with a "senior and experienced" employee

MangoMan you are absolutely right! it's a shame we can't simply do a list of all bad business that are ruining the life of all expats here!

Sony Vaio= Troubles

New machine, had to replace the DVD reader after just a few months, then when you have the earphones on and you switch the volume to the max the speaker will intermittently restart working, despite the earphones plugged in, very annoying, just to finish also considere that the silver paint will peel off from this plastic box soooo fast, i can't believe Sony went so down in quality, they have always been one of my first choices when making a purchase, not anymore....

....but know one can get you out of your house as the Usufruct is still in force.

how can someone kick me out of a property if there is an "usufruct" in place? the land in question is not under my wife's name nor it will be in the future to come

Ok, i am going soon to have my first approach with the guys in charge of the Land Office, just to see what's theyr general attitudes towards our intentions and see what it came out of it, i will keep you informed

(for those not up on slang, a septic is slang for a yank, = septic tank= a YANK, hope this clears up any confusion)

Actually.....you come over as a bit of a tanker. Thats slang too.

Not wishing to get deeply involved in the debate - but its normally 'merchant banker' in the part of London I am from.

neither is East London slang, they are squaddies terms, the same as a septic

....that sounds like a Cockneys competition on TV, i hope you don't walk around Pattaya dressed like this too

1).... not sure exactly what you mean by that?

2)....there won't be a separate deed just for your usufruct (you may want to be on the yellow book also). The current one will be out of date and I imagine the land owner will still be entitled to the original though you can obtain an official copy (they remain the land owner).

3)....Renting / selling to another .... you will remain liable to the land owner for the actions on the land of whoever you rent or sell the building to.

4)....Despite legislative indicators to the contrary IIRC in reality a farang cannot register such a lease without the land owners consent

5) ...Given the usufruct is being given for free I am a little perplexed as to why you would want the ability to lease to another without the involvement of the landowner.

Hello again TW and thanks to you and all others for the precious informations, here are my explanation with some more doubt arising from what you mentioned earlier

1) It seems that a usufruct can be registered for different lenght of times and i just want to be sure this is for "life"

2) That make me a bit worry, i mean, if i will just get an "official copy" of the registered usufruct on the land deed and the land owner will retain the original documents, there is any chance that in the future the land owner can made changes or even cancel this agreement on his own and without my knowledge or comsent?

3) We can't just agree on a clause where the land owner aknowledge that any (possible)new person taking over all or part of the property will be liable for his own actions?

4) Similar to the above, a clause on which we both agree on his "automatic" comsent will not be acceptable?

5) I just see this as a "preventive" measure, just in case once the land change the way it looks like due to cospicuous investments or my personal situation changes anyhow, the land owner doesn't change his mind, i am quite confident that everything will be ok between us, however i feel the need of some sort of better "insurance", that's all.

Thanks

Reason for edit: "spelling"

Hello everyones! i got a few questions that i would be very gratefull if someone can answer them, i am about to register a usufruct on a piece of land the relative of my wife are willing to give to me(free), i included a scan of the land title as i have no idea if this is a chanote or whatever else....

1) How can i make sure is registered for "life" and not just 30 years?

2) Do i have to keep this little piece of document or a new one(the yellow book?) will be produced by the Land Office just in my name? and will the relative been holding any sort of documents at all? (maybe this one)

3) If i build anything on it will i be able to rent/sell it as i wish, without any required necessary action by the owner of the land (my wifes relatives) ?

any suggestions, good or bad are appreciated, thanks in advance!

has this man been elected democratically? = no, he taked power by force against the will of his own people, that would say it all i guess

sometime i still doubt about how well i do know myself, nevermind the thai partner

Do you mean Siam Legal? I am using them for my retirement visa. So far, I have mostly liked their way of doing business. As I understand it, they are owned by an American firm.

no.......but is a good thing to try Googling a search on each name and see what it came out of it, there is a search function on this forum too, give it a try

Why not use the sponsors of this site, or has anyone had bad experience with them ?

it looks like that you answered already to your question....

Bali Tourist arrival figure UP 21.8% , Aussie Tourist figures up by 79% , Hotel Occupancy 82 - 91 %

Ah ! is there a message to TAT here ?

They are probably not the "Quality Tourists" required by the official guidelines, so these percentages are totally irrilevant

Reason for Edit: i forgot to add the scan here it is now.

Mai mee tang, mai sanook...and one can expect quite angry reactions.

Yeah, but WHO should they be angry with? The few foreigners that are left?

that would look very "thai" indeed

Can somebody explain me what's up with the straws in EVERY drink you buy?

mmmm....probably because it make the distance between the mouth and the drink shorter so no need to pull the arm further up, so kikkiatt

The word "scam" must be the most overworked noun on Thai Visa.

....and i wonder why of that? ----> <----- maybe because of these little guys? i didn't ask them yet if they drink Yakunt or not...
