Thai landlord wants to increase the rent by 20% :(

A landlord just  needs to not re-new the lease/rental agreement to get someone out, no need to make things up.

Most likely  the landlord is doing the typical thai fashion you have less money coming in you increase the prices on the money you do have coming in. It's terrible logic but thats what they do. 

Agree they could just tell you to leave . And 20% of 5000 baht is only a 1000 baht increase . We could be all throwing our two pennys worth into something that’s not worth moaning about .

    Find an alternative place you like, then say no to the rent increase, you then have leverage

I don't understand your question.

I suppose it all comes down to how much you like your current place, how much you want to bother with the hassle of moving, how much the extra money in rent affects you etc

 

If 20% increase is say 1-3,000 THB and that difference in rent makes no meaningful difference to you i suppose it all comes down to can you be bothered to move. Obviously you would need to tell the landlord that next time you will move- but as long as you are prepared to actually do it.
