I've sold the 1st condo that I purchased and bought a 2nd and only transferred money into Thailand for the 1st.
But in doing so I still needed proof of international transfer, from my bank, to satisfy the Land Office Department.
To obtain this proof I needed to show them (the bank) a copy of the original money transfer document, and a copy of the Land's Office document which show that I have sold and transferred the original condo. They (the Bank) also required a copy of the receipt showing the taxes paid.
Once I produced these documents, and B100, a letter from the Bank was forth coming in a matter of minutes. Armed with this letter the purchase transfer of this 2nd condo presented no problems at the Land Office.

Been living in Thailand for near on 11 years. I've visited the Aust Embassy as and when required. Never had a real problem with their service, but do agree their prices are really over the top.
However the one thing that always gets under my skin is that they seem to be always showing TV from another country. I have reported this to the staff and all I've ever received was 'sorry'.
Obviously the EMBASSY IS NOT PROUD OF OUR OWN (Government) NETWORK.
I call this situation UNAUSTRALIAN

My condo is on the SW Corner of the building. During my 1st summer here it was very hot, so I had double glazed (slightly tinted) windows with new alum frames installed.
I also purchased new block-out curtains. I close and open them, one at a time, as the sun moves around the building.
I also have a thermometer which shows indoor and outdoor temps.
I can guarantee that now I get upwards of 5 degrees cooler inside (without using an ac).
It was expensive, but worth the cost, in my opinion

if any of you have seen my cabaret in the night bazaar you know we do an assortment of songs to please everyone only on a much bigger stage with 45 performers ...
Should appeal to international visitors - good luck

Hope this production has more variety than the previous Simon Cabaret did.
Who wants to come to Thailand to see an All American Songbook show (that's what Simon was) - no wonder it closed

I regret to advise of the passing of David Sampson (formally of West’s Restaurant off Huay Kaew and more recent of Compass Restaurant on Charoenprathet Road) on Thursday the 23rd July 2014.
He died in hospital in Melbourne, Australia, of respiratory failure caused by a tumour in his throat. His passing was peaceful. May he RIP
We wish ‘Kon’, his business partner in both above ventures, all the very best in the continuation of Compass. -
illinge, I moved here 10 years ago, & I'm also about 10 years younger than you. But on arrival 'life began again' for me.
You, being 80 & thinking of relocating to Thailand, all I can say is 'go for it'.
When it comes to the stage when you may need assistance / looking after then there are a number of alternatives here in Thailand, with a higher standard of service & at a lower cost, than you can obtain in Aust

There is one other option and that is to self insure. Others (more knowledgeable in this subject) have stated, on a number of occasions, to self insure one would need access to around 2mill Thai Baht (or around $70,000 Aust ).

illinge, G'day Mate Like others have said it would be almost impossible for anyone (over the age of 65) to obtain hospital / medical insurance here in Thailand.
You mentioned that you have insurance back home, is that private or medicare?
If its private you will need to talk to your provider (to see if you would be covered here in Thailand, but I think most likely you would have to return home to be covered).
If it's medicare you will only be covered in Aust, with the proviso that you retain your Aust Residency (ie if you take up residency in Thailand then you will loose your Aust Residency - residency is not the same as nationality).

n210mp, I totally agree with your last paragraph of post # 5.
Over the years I have retained info on this subject should I ever need to go down this path.
Some of the info that I have retained can be found here

I am led to believe that there will be a dawn service on the 25th at House of Praise. Can anyone give some feedback from previous years - in particular is it like the Dawn Service back home?

Over the years I have bought 2 Mazda sedans, from the dealer on Mahidol Road. For me their pre and after delivery service has been excellent, far better than what I got back in my old country. English speaking - like anywhere in the LOS can be a bit testing

The Pool on the roof of Hillside 4 is reserved for those living on the top (15th) floor. However ALL owners (irrespective of level) pay for the upkeep of this pool.
So why would anyone want to buy there with such conditions / restrictions ?

I have a fridge that is surplus to our requirements. My partner suggests we send it to Issan,
as it would be very much appreciated by 'The Family'.
Is / are there freighters that go from Chiang Mai to Burri Ram? The would have to be
door to door (Tambon to Tambon).
Appreciate any advice

Have just sent you a message, maybe we can help each other

I have just bought a condo, from a falang that lives overseas. The electricity account is in her name, as is the meter deposit. With my passport and the chanote I visited the local PEA to change all into my name, & was advised that I need a yellow house book.
More recently I visited the Amphur Office & was told that I need
* A letter from Immigration (as proof of my residential address )
* A copy of my passport
* A copy of the Chanote
*A copy of the Blue House Book,
* Two witnesses
and that I will need an interview.

8 year ago I bought a condo solely in my name, here in Thailand. The money for this purchase was transferred via the international banking network, and therefore my bank was able to produce a letter to this effect.
I have now sold this condo and am in the process of purchasing another. In discussions with my lawyer was advised that I would again need to prove the source of the finance.
Fortunately, or so I thought, I was able to located the letter, from the bank, that I used some 8 years ago. I showed this to my lawyer, who rang the Land Office. Was advised as this letter was specific (i.e. it identified the unit being purchased) it couldn’t be used again. My lawyer was dumfounded (& by the way so was I). He was also, at this time, unable to offer any real solution.
So, fellow members, I’m asking your advice. What are my options????

Next week I will be flying into Suvarnabhumi & need advice on how to get to BKK Hosp @ Huay Khuang.
Website maps are of little use, but from what I can gather I should take-
Airport Link to Makkasan
MRT to Huai Khwang
then Taxi to the Hosp.
Is this the best way? Could someone pls confirm/advise.
Many tks

Whenever I do an internet TT from Westpac they always ask for a reason; for my monthly living expenses I state 'Pers expenses', when I transfered monies to buy my condo thats what I stated, ie 'To buy a condo'. Never had a problem
High blood pressure..or not

Below is an unaltered extract from Mayo Clinic's website:
Blood pressure measurements fall into four general categories:
Both numbers in a blood pressure reading are important. But after age 60, the systolic reading is even more significant. Isolated systolic hypertension — when diastolic pressure is normal but systolic pressure is high — is a common type of high blood pressure among people older than 60.
