I'm not 100% sure but I would imagine a police report problem would only be if one had unspent convictions...........

Involving third parties in Thailand invariably gets messy and can easily backfire IMO. Shelling out for lawyers and courts will probably fail as well. ....................My approach would be playing the long game, accepting that a payment plan (direct debit of sorts preferably) that the debtor can reasonably afford is better than putting them in a corner with pressure. Ask them what can they afford to pay monthly, let them tell you and go from there.................................................... Accept that you're going to have to have a conversation with them, get your head around that (take a friend with you if you're concerned).................................................

No, you're not crazy, you gotta start somewhere, and you can't offer less after first bid so start low................Cleared funds paid on completion as explained by Outbackoz and take heed of his words regarding due dilligence.................................. Cash makes no difference whatsoever in negotiations. Taxes paid are on land office valuation. Important to negotiate and agree in advance who pays what fees etc at the land office................if you have an agent (seek referalls locally) they can get all the info in advance from their contacts in the land office so you have a smooth transaction on the day.......................exciting times................................

Certainly not those who fly the blue and yellow............................

This post really highlights that banking services are disappointingly quite often at the discretion of the cashier (first line of defence so to speak). I have found that if one is familiar with the branch, that often speaking to someone who knows you first can [ay dividends...................... Failing that another bank or branch is often the back up required as is the case with the OP here, thank goodness.................

Esquitre did quite a few vids on his travels................maybe some snippetts of info ...................................

Could I butt in and ask.....I am returning soon too after having been away for a while and I have a Thai account with over the 800K Thb needed to applu for a non O......However I am unclear as to whether the funds need to be shown from coming in from overseas, which in my case they haven't........ My funds have been there for years from savings etc within the Kingdom...Thanks......................

Very professional, she probably wanted to keep track of which sponsor was paying which amount and when.!!

I don't believe that he is trying to provoke nuclear war, but he sure as hell wants the West to believe that................................................................However, I believe everything that Putin is doing is about his legacy and the fact that he is now quite old and is fast approachng his 'use by date'. He may (generously giving him the benefit of doubt here) have asked himself 'what have i done on behalf of Russia and it's people?' and came me to the conclusion that the answer was 'not alot' .................................In his eyes he needs a favourable and lasting legacy, hence the situation now..........................When finally cornered and not offered an 'out'; will he push the button?........................................... He will know that his legacy will be trashed if he is instrumental in starting the 'end of the world' so to speak, but if he was seen to be defending against nuclear attack, (false flag one will do nicely thank you), then perhaps in his eyes, his legacy would remain intact.................................................

I've seen plenty English speaking commenting on tiktok and not one has been pro war/invasion.....................I wouldn't know about those who might be speaking in Russian though and they probably wouldn't come through my feed anyway................................................

If this was my less than a year old vehicle and it was parked as in the picture, I would only cover with a car cover............................................(If i was in a cold climate, I might ask someone to give it a spin every once in a while), but...................................................keep it simple is best IMO.......................

This caught my eye and surprised me the other day.................. Even mild COVID can cause brain shrinkage and affect mental function, new study shows https://theconversation.com/even-mild-covid-can-cause-brain-shrinkage-and-affect-mental-function-new-study-shows-178530 The conversation. com is founded my most leading British universities and the article is from data collected by the UK Biobank database

I hear your concerns about being charged excessively and where do you find these so called 'cheap guys'. .......................................................................Admittedly my opinions are based on previous experience and being very well embedded in both the Samui and Chiang Mai communities. I haven't been so much over the last 7 years. Together with inflation and other factors, it's quite likely that the demand is now outsripping the supply and hence higher prices all round.........................................................................................Key, though to considerably cheaper prices IMO are local conatcts and ability to confidentally communicate well with them. Without that, one will struggle.................................Might I suggest that if you have Thai friends or contacts that you reach out to them and ask them to help you find a local guy through word of mouth. Thai networking in my experience is usually very effective.................................. .......................Another way to find workers (especially if you can communicate well or have someone that can with you and importantly, have the front/confidence to do it) is when you see a job ongoing, to ask if they will work for you. I have done that many times and it works a treat............................... Even if that person can't help you, invariably, they will put you onto someone who can....................having local guys and contacts to help you with your renovation will help immensely and save you alot of money and will importantly be there for your next project should there be one..............................................

I gotta say, I agree with Airalee for all the reasons stated above.................................If you were going to use it socially as well as a work horse, then I'd say its better to buy..................................... But in BKK with potential parking issues and with, I imagine, a plethora of willing pickup owners on standby, I would have thought it alot more simple to build up a relationship with an owner driver/handy man type of guy to help you when needed and I imagine he would be handy for a lot of other related jobs as well, should you need, not to mention the contacts he might bring to the table........................................Then there is depreciation. The residual value will drop over time and IMO would quite possibly outweigh/.offset any savings you might have made by DIY.....................................................I would also note that supplies and materials purchased from builders merchants are in my experience always delivered unless you choose to collect yourself............................................

Not the first account stating 'Ukrainians' first onto trains..................have seen other footage showing foreigners treated in a similar manner over the last week or so. An example of Asian medical students trying to excape comes to mind......I guess (as Hong states in the article), the reality of war is very different.......................

There is always Paa Yawd Shan which is vegetarian and very reasonably priced, North side of moat between Chang Phuak gate and the NE corner.....about 200 metres before the NE corner...............

I find it hard to comprehend that it's happenning again on our watch.......................

I found the best way to enjoy any cultutre: all genres of music, theatre etc was to be aligned with the international schools whilst living in Chiang mai. Not difficult if you had a child at one...Together with the Unis there was quite a good scene going on throughout the year there......................There's also a very good local magazine (Citylife) which constantly features upcoming events (pre covid times)...........

Nice to be wanted..............................Beautiful creature.....................

keep your eyes peeled for something like this..........
