Construction Worker Found Dead with Knife in Head at Ratchaburi Worksite
oh dear Georgealbert, this is very disturbing news, he was only 39yrs old. What drove him to his desperate demise ... was it financial, was it love, or was he just an all out nutcase. And what about his family, they will be devastated by this tragic event, he was the bread winner, how can they pay the rent or buy Lao Khao now without Manoon. Will they be sad, will they be cursing him, will they overcome their grief. RIP site man -

Are Older Men in Thailand Trading Love for Financial Ruin
Most of the people I know went because of death. There were a couple that ran out of money. Not sure if a better life than the one I have here is humanly possible. Out cycling every morning in perfect weather, this morning at 7am it was misty on the way out and sunny on the way back. -

So what's your vice then, Lou??? No vices, whatsoever, but I do enjoy an occasional Guinness or G&T. Difference is that I'm nor deluded nor a pejorative "head" of any description. -

August 2024: Texas removed over 1 million ineligible voters
Who's gatekeeping? It's a piece of data that helps me decide whether to interact with someone, and whether to take them seriously. You can use that info any way you want. I don't know about you, but I'd question the sincerity and motives if an old geezer like myself started posting on Teen Spirit blogs. -

Help needed to understand some points of a farang buying a house in Thailand.
I am confused after speaking with a friend. I am a UK citizen, I have lived in Thailand for the past 7 years with my Thai gf. I have been and still am renting a house but next year I might consider buying a house. If I bought a house + land 15 years ago for 4 million THB with a 30 year lease on the land. The 30 year land lease costing 1 million THB so the house value would be 3 Million THB. Let's assume house prices have stayed the same over the 15 years. What is the situation if I wanted to sell my house now. My friend said 1. I would probably have a land lease contract for 30+30+30 years. 2. The seller (me) would have to pay for a new land lease of 30 years. 3. If unable to obtain a new 30 year land lease I could not transfer the remaining 15 years of the land lease to a buyer. Basically I would be unable to sell it. My thoughts 1. I think it is Thai law that a farang cannot lease land for more than 30 years. So these 30+30+30 years are not guaranteed. Also each time a land lease is renewed then there will be a fee paid to the land owner. 2. I guess the seller needs to pay for the new 30 year land lease simply because most houses prices advertised are for the house + a 30 year land lease. 3. I think I read that a land lease can be passed on but that was when I was writing my Thai Will and so it was a bit different. But I find it hard to believe that if I bought a house + 30 year land lease. If 1 year after buying it I wanted to sell it and the land owner would not form a new land lease contract with the buyer then I could simply not sell it. If I moved away then the only option would be to rent it out for 29 years? 4. Could I sell the house with the remaining 15 years land lease? If so how much would it be valued at? Does anyone sell a house with less than a 30 year land lease remaining? On a slightly different note I would now probably look to buy a house freehold, my gf buying the land freehold, plus have a Usufruct contract. If a house + 30 year land lease is being sold for 4 Million would you expect to pay more if you bought that same house freehold? Any advice to clarify any of the about greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Keith
