Buy your alcohol now. Not exactly cracking the atom, my friend.

I used to live on Chan Road, a block from Narathiwas. I used True, and I loved their service. When I first arrived in BKK, Apple products were not popular and, when I bought a router, I could not get it to work. True sent out 3 technicians, and had it up and running within an hour. The service call cost 500THB, very reasonable in my estimation. Every couple years, they'd be a snag, and True was there to fix it free.

I'm sure that one fared reporting a noisy nightclub will make a difference.

I sold my first BKK condo in September, 2014, and was very pleased. TVers posted that the real estate market was going to crash on August 29, 2014, and it didn't happen. I bought the condo for 155K USD, and sold it for 275K THD. It took about a week to find a buyer. When I sold, the building was 18 years old and, according to the Tver experts, no one buys a used condo.

Rather than using marijuana, try Marinol (dronabinol).

People die every day. Move on.

"If tourism declines to new low levels I don't think Thailands property will drop much..."

​That's because tourists don't buy property. Of course, many TVers predicted that August 29, 2014 would be the day that the Thai real estate market would collapse. They made this prediction based on their belief that farangs were the driving force of the Thai real estate market, and that new visa requirements would force part-time teachers to abandon their dreams to buy condos for their bargirl friends. Many farangs are witless enough to pay 1M THB to marry a prostitute, but that doesn't mean they're dumb enough to buy a condo in their wife's name.

Muntz metal? Is Mad Man Muntz still with us?

The airport expansion is still being debated, and it'll be 10 years down the road. Whether you're talking about 45M or 65M, it's going to get a lot more crowded.

"Swampy at 42 million."

So, 50M = 6000 people per hour, and you find that unbelievable. But 42M = 5000 people per hour seems reasonable to you.

I formed a company to buy a townhouse. The deal fell through, and I had a company that I didn't use. I was told that, if you do not use a company and do not file any forms, eventually the government will stop pursuing the owner, and will close the company. As it turned out, that's exactly what happened to me, and had the company closed for exactly zero THB.

Before the Three Gorges dam was completed in China, cities didn't have enough electricity to support electrically powered tankless water heaters, and used gas-fired ones instead. They were vented directly to the building exterior. Now, Shanghai - and the surrounding area - has more electricity then it needs, and new condos are wired for electric-power water heaters.

"Especially having a daughter to clearly identify the authenticity of our marriage."

Having a daughter does not "clearly identify th authenticity" of anything, much less a legal marriage.

"Anyone with helpful advice will be most appreciated."

Learn the law, and plan ahead.

I went to the local police station, and an officer called the condo to assure that I lived there. The police then sent me a letter, and I used that at Immigration. Pretty darn simple.

"34 crates (238 bottles) of bear $12.34"

This line is as nonsensical as your entire post.

SWIFT.

Condos are private property, and the owners can rent/lease either short-term, or long-term.

Sheryl hit the nail on its head. Too, some medications can only be purchased at a hospital. When that happened to me, I visit a government hospital, paid the 40THB, had a doctor write a prescription, and had it filled at the hospital's pharmacy at 1/5th the cost at a private hospital.

" I always imagined that the passport needed to be completely full?"

Why would you assume that? You can renew your passport at any time.

There are dozens of threads regarding the purchase of a completed condo v buying one that will be completed in the future. Evidently, you've chosen to ignore all of them, and this will be an expensive lesson. A 100K THB/sqm makes some level of sense in BKK proper, within walking distance to the Metro or Skytrain. Spending that level of money in Pattaya is nonsensical. IMHO.

I'm old school. I think paying money to a prostitute's family so you can marry her does not seem reasonable. As I've posted many times, you should only invest at an acceptable level of risk. Assuming that a woman will be faithful, simply because you give her mom a handful of money is, in my opinion, an unacceptable level of risk.

What a nonsensical thread. Put on your big boy pants, and get out of your rabbit hole.

"An extremely brave woman who cannot win in this environment."

A year ago, you'd have spit in her face. What caused you to change your opinion?

"i have a bargirl who is a bit older."

Good for you. That phrase is much more palatable than the truth, "I've hired a prostitute half my age..."

"Personally, my experience with a property company (in San Sai, Chiang Mai) is unsatisfactory to say the least. And it has nothing to do with being a farang because my previous Thai neighbor who is a lawyer, gave up dealing and got his money back, after the 1yr warranty, and moved on."

You've answered your own question.
