Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand
Thank airbnb who basically started the short term rental biz and has turned thousands of once tranquil condos and neighborhoods into hotels ....and does not give a crap about anything except how much $$ they make. So of course the chinese and many others think hey we can do that and don't need to give airbnb a cut...People who buy a condo where the rules clearly forbid short term rentals suddenly find they are living in a hotel with people coming and going all hours, elevators crowded with luggage, pool areas packed with too many people, etc...hotels paying license and taxes and short term rental bunch no license no taxes...hotel alliance in many cities have put lot of pressure to stop it...some places they have done it...but the authorities ultimately have to deal with it and not just say mai pen rie. Some buildings in BKK have done a decent job of putting big signs in lobby advising min stay is 30 or more days and asking owners to report any unit they suspect is in violation and then HOA actually fines them and will cut off their water and electric if they ignore the fines. That stops it in it's tracks...of course if chinese or owners are bribing the hoa to look the other way then good luck. -

I would be interested to know also. We have a similar problem, mainly with Russians but with individual condos now being purchased by Chinese.
