Did you own the house or were you renting? We never had a problem in our village until the last year or so. There were always late payers, but not 8 houses refusing to pay.

At the moment it is 6 monthly, but it's flexible, you could choose to pay monthly if you wished. I pay 14000 baht a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, if you live somewhere you want the area to be clean and all the services available. To say otherwise is totally naive of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably have to see the lease out if rented. If I'd rented for the 13 years instead of buying the house, I would have paid at least 3 million baht in rent, dead money. When I cark it my partner still has over 4 million baht equity in the house. Edited December 9, 2023 by giddyup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

advancebooking Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I think it would be a complete nightmare living in a gated community with uptight farang and selfish middle class thai's with their barking rat dogs. Not for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if interest payments are added, but at the end of the day it will be payable if the want to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbko Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Have the village committee members approached those not paying and ask them why? In a friendly non-confrontational manner of course. Another option is to print out a letter (in English & Thai) explaining the fees and pass it out to everyone's mailbox, then follow-up after a few days with a door-to-door visit with many residents, especially with those those not paying.
