    You could also check out Thaiwatsadu. I recently saw someone looking at a tool set in a carry case that would match your description.

    Nice. Do you have any 10-Baht coins? I am missing two (APEC 2003, for example) to have a complete set.

    What I’m trying to say is that of the u it is primary residence, then never any taxes (beyond the first one). If it is not primary residence then it is taxes yearly, like one can see all the vacant land now being turned into plantations to reduce/lower the tax rate.

    Purchase condo, receive yellow & blue book. One time tax payment. Then never again.
  5. CecilM
    AFAIK there’s only property tax payable upon purchase, but none at subsequent years. (If it is primary residence.) Otherwise go to your Municipal Office or Dep’t of Land and Housing and register as primary residence.

    And banks will become suspicious if you have too many small incoming deposits. They’re beginning to keep an eye on likely online sellers who likely don’t pay income taxes. (It was in the news a while ago.)

    Or poke your eyes (no double entendres here), I mean all the awnings, umbrellas, overhangs along the streets and markets. ????

    The smaller doors I have only (painfully) encountered at bathrooms. Not yet elsewhere. Since this “low railing” is a regularly coming thread I have been thinking about it for a while. No, I can’t remember any such things from CM or CR. Of course I am in now way discrediting others’ experiences, I am just sharing mine.
  9. CecilM
    Thank you. Exactly what I think too.
  10. CecilM
    Yeah, consider me baffled. I’ve never seen a butt-hight railing. (Leading me to another thought: is this a cheaply-built thing in Pattaya? Might explain my lack of knowledge as I never go there.)

    So much effort into stretching the law (waiver, extension, overstay). Why not just do it properly and get a real visa?
  12. CecilM
    A week. Or just freeze it. Nothing wrong with freezing/thawing and refeezing. Been doing that my entire adult life.

    Debt collectors are illegal. Things like this really shouldn’t be discussed in an expat forum. Police, lawyers, expenses, and persistence is the only reasonable advice.
  14. CecilM
    Ignore any and all emoji.
  15. CecilM
    Thanks for the suggestions.
  16. CecilM
    That’s true. But I can’t even remember if I used my real name when I set up my account. (I’m thinking I didn’t. And I’m thinking most people wouldn’t.)

    Shutting down the truck drivers in Canada has my wholehearted approval. And taking your thoughts further, a govt’t’s actions might just devalue the currency so even cash is useless. Now what? Silver and gold?
  18. CecilM
    Book under one name. Review under another name? And I’m curious how a google maps review can be traced back to a specific person.
  19. CecilM
    I agree, both in opinion and experience.
  20. CecilM
    So true. I’ve had some slips and one accident on the stairs here; none ever involving a balcony. (As a student in my cheap apartment, I used to take a nap on the aircon with was standing against the balcony railing. No worries of falling off.)
  21. CecilM
    No. And no. Hear hear. Glad I’m not alone here saying that “low balcony” is a bit weird. My condo is fine (I also wouldn’t have bought it if construction was iffy; and it wasn’t even a big brand name builder), as were both my previous apartments. Same with any hotel I’ve stayed.
  22. CecilM
    Not at 1.87m.
  23. CecilM
    Not posh for sure. I wish. ???? Nowadays decent/nice places and some really cheap places early on. I’m 1.87m and quite honestly can’t remember noticing any low balconies. (Stayed at some really cheap hotels, think 900 Baht, a few years ago for a family funeral, and even those balconies were fine.) i might actually carry a tape measure on holiday. ????

    Doesn’t seem too unusual for Thai kids. The niece and nephew spent hours after class in tutoring schools and weekends too. Babies get enrolled in some kind of learning classes at age 2-3. Just recently saw a post looking for an evening tutor for a 2.5y/o kid. (Many more examples could be listed.) Here my thoughts: I’d rather have a wife that pushes the kid than one that doesn’t care and thinks basic gov’t school education is sufficient.

    Really? Two decades here and I’ve yet to see a balcony or railing at a mall/ hotel/resort where I thought “Oh, that looks a bit low”.
