Is it possible to play Euromillions online while resident in Thailand? TIA

How about natural lava stone tile? Underwater effect is exceptional. Many shades.

Are landed properties covered by the Hotel Act or only condos?

No equivalent of a sole trader in Thailand. Have to form a company. Been there, done that.

Thank you Delight for responding to my post. Apologies if my post was not clear. My interest is in landed property within a Moo Baan governed by the Land Allocation Act rather than a condominium and whether the expense of common services before the establishment of a JP is shared between the buyers and the developer while there are unsold plots, similar to a condo project.

Are developers required by law to pay common service fees on unsold plots in a development before a JP or put another way share the cost of common services?

The maid should still inherit the privately held assets?

Bank scams are at an epidemic level in Thailand.

There is an epidemic of scam calls in Thailand. How can they be stopped?

This is an old topic but I have a Hitachi Water Pump WM-P400GX. The problem is the pump loses pressure and I am forever pressing the reset button. Do I need to replace the pressure switch? Thanks in advance.

Plenty of bachelors own condos in Thailand.

During my first couple of years in Thailand I saw Dr Niyom at Bumrungrad Skin Center, and he is very good.  However, one year he was away, and I saw Dr. Nicha instead, and she is excellent - takes pictures of any moles which maybe potential problems and checks the original pictures when I have my six-month follow-up check.   Cost is usually about Baht 2,000, without meds or treatments.  I have yet to find a competent skin cancer dermatologist in Hua Hin.

Dr.Niwat Skin Clinic Hua Hin?

Is the PEA 3 phase meter polyphase? I have a 3 phase supply but a single phase solar inverter. Am I losing any solar benefit? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all that contributed to this topic.

The conclusion is that subject to legal advice, Land Department accounting rules, Consumer Protection Act and the Buy and Sell Contract there is an argument that maintenance fees shall be spent only on their intended purpose and surplus maintenance fees paid pre-JP shall be rolled-over and included in the asset account and transferred to the JP at the time of hand-over.

If anyone can provide a specific reference, the OP question remains open.

not required based on actual practice

Did you forget to ask? Please see attached Sample 2 from Land Department Establishing Housing Development Legal Entity Manual.

I disagree - go to the land office

As previously mentioned, there are only two options to apply for a JP. LDA Section 44 with the Developers support when the Developer is discharged from maintaining the common facilities at his request and Section 70 without the Developers support when the Developer fails to maintain.

Oh I know, I have been a party to replacing a developer with a JP.

Then you would know that maintenance fees are a part of the asset account to be handed over by the Developer to the JP before a JP can be registered.

Are all the lots sold? If so you can act as a group to request creation of the Juristic entity and only lot owners are involved to vote\action.

 

Not all plots must be sold to apply for a JP which as mentioned is limited to Section 70 without the Developers support. A JP application can be made after 51% of plots are sold. Pre-JP registration only Buyers have a vote.

 

If the developer is still a lot owner then they are entitled to a vote for each lot but nothing more.

 

The Developer gets a vote for each unsold plot as a member of the JP but only post-JP registration.

 

You would need to set up the regulations for the community to work by and include fee schedules for maintenance and operations. It would be wise to consult with a non interested party that has experience in this area as the accounting done properly has several aspects that need to be defined on setting appropriate fee structures and use parameters and accounting validation for the new Juristic entity to handle maintenance and repair, capital expense budgets and capital reserve plans for future requirements. You would also be wise in stipulating the scope of the Juristic entity, length of tenure and evaluation and review of Juristic actions 

 

Thanks for the advice. We are aware of the requirement, content and purpose of an Articles of Association. Thanks again.

But the law does not say that so why deal in fantasy.

You know that or just saying so?

No.

Owners can have done it on their own more than a few times in Chiang Mai.  Without developer support and in at least several cases with developer resistance.

The only option for the Owners to apply for a JP without the Developers support is Section 70 LDA in the case that the Developer fails to maintain, which is subjective.

Then you better get one set up.

Needs the Developer to take the first step.

Without the Developer support very difficult if at all possible.
