  1. Let's cut the amateur commentary. Nobody cares about your opinion on convenience. This is a matter of Thai Civil Law and the Condominium Act. Your subjective opinion on convenience is irrelevant and means absolutely nothing in the face of the Condominium Act. Your argument that "they can impose it" because they feel like it means nothing. Zero. The law doesn't care if you think the policy is "reasonable." It cares if it's legal.
  2. Yes there is, but still this is about the principle of the committee making unilateral decisions and imposing penalties on all co-owners. This doesn't really have anything to do with me, as I don't have an issue with my mail, but I'm curious whether it's legal or not.
  3. Sigh, this forum is still full of trolls ... I thought it would be better after 20 years but apparently not...
  4. Thanks, I have read it, but I can't see any part where it states the committee can impose fees without an AGM vote. Further, the House Rules /By-laws state nothing about this since the start of the condo. It was only brought up in a committee meeting and mentioned at the AGM that it would be implemented without a vote.
  5. The question wasn't whether it was reasonable or not, but if the committee had he power to unilaterally impose fees on co-owners without a vote in AGM and dispose of private property.
  6. I’m looking for advice on a situation in a condo in Thailand where the management has implemented a very aggressive new policy. The Policy (Currently in Effect): 500 THB/day storage fee is charged for any postal package not picked up after 7 days. Automatic return to sender is being carried out for any mail or packages left for 15 days. The management is claiming a total liability waiver for any damage or loss caused by this handling. The Conflict: The Juristic Person (JP) claims this policy was "voted on in the past" but has failed to produce any proof, minutes, or records of a co-owner vote. When we challenged the legal basis for these charges, the JP’s only justification was that the Committee has the authority to create and enforce these rules on its own without an AGM vote. The Concerns: Unauthorized Fines: Can a Committee legally enforce high daily financial penalties that were never approved by a General Meeting of Co-owners? Property Interference: Is it legal for a building to ship back an owner’s private mail (which may contain sensitive documents) simply because of a 15-day internal rule? Lack of Transparency: How do we stop the enforcement of a rule when the JP refuses to show the actual registered regulations or the vote that supposedly authorized this? Has anyone else dealt with a Committee that is already enforcing rules they unilaterally "made up" in a committee meeting? We are concerned this sets a dangerous precedent where the Committee can bypass owners to impose any fee they want (as it seems other fees have also come about like this). Any insight appreciated. Thanks
  7. Oh just saw that a similar post exists below this (I did search but showed 0 results). Admin can delete this post if needed
  8. Has anyone come across pharma grade Methylene blue in Bangkok/Thailand? I've seen some on Lazada but unsure of quality.
  9. Thanks, I'll just do the extension at the normal expiry time
  10. Ok thank you So same form, just change the reason at next extension.
  11. I have been on a dependent visa for the last 6-7 years, based on taking care of my son. He will however move out of Thailand shortly and I wonder if I can change my visa type in Thailand to a retirement visa without leaving the country? If so which form needs to be filled out? What papers are needed at CW for retirement visa in 2024? Thank you
  12. So I checked with WRLife and they do not sell to individual Thai but Thai citizens can join foreigners on their policy
  13. Well my policy does not say anything about Thai citizen being excluded. If you have the wording, then please let me know where I can read it.
  14. Happened to me on several occasions.. 1. Due to not filling in phone number 2. Due to having to update TM30 after coming back from abroad. No explanations given in rejection emails.
