'Acting on Information received'. 

Is there an address where I can send the name of the Thai audit company that helped my ex-wife defraud me of my house by altering the % of shareholders without my knowledge?

I'm sure there is, whether they answer you is another thing.

In typical Thai fashion you announce your intention to investigate far enough in advance so the funds can be hidden and the Thai culprits can clean up their act and the offending officials can have enough time to distance themselves to be a non issue.

 

Unlike American colleges, Thais usually don't like Surprise Test.

So out of more than 26,000 companies examined so far, 127 are seemingly dodgy.


Sufficient evidence of wrong doing to warrant a full blown crackdown using software yet to be developed and projected to be available in 6 months?

Don’t be ridiculous. These crackdowns are announced every six months or so. A few obvious trading entities that are really foreign owned will be confiscated because they get up the nose of local Thai businesses. One off house owning companies fly well under the radar because they do no harm.

 

They come out with this once a year, and nothing comes from it.

But they will come for you all,  one day. 

Good luck.

What makes them so keen to cut back  own people's employment opportunities?

If companies/shops are busted and face closure,  it is Thai workers that suffer most(for job losses).

Handing out some money  to the poor, but trying to create greater poverty on purpose at the same time.

This kingdom certainly cannot make up  for tens of thousands of workplaces once they are gone.

Once again, bureaucrats' Empty Pride is about to force  needless pain among the common people.

"This year's efforts saw the DBD scrutinising 26,019 juristic persons across sectors like tourism and logistics. Out of these, 498 were thoroughly investigated.

 

While 371 were cleared, 64 faced charges over accounting issues and 63 remain under further investigation, with four companies suspected of acting as nominees."

 

What a silly game. This year 26,019 juristic persons scrutinized, 498 were investigated, 64 face accounting charges and a total of four companies "suspected" as nominees with no nominees found to be used by foreign enterprises. Looks like the crackdown is a success. Now on to the of crackdowns on prostitution and taxi mafia.

Well they do leave company owned houses in a gray area, where its not 100% legal.....So someday they could have quite the pay day taking farangs houses....

 

Many lawyers on Samui have stopped setting up LTD companies for ferang to buy houses, while a lot of developers are selling their villas with a 30 year lease on the land , which is 100% legal!

The Thai education system is to blame here, too much nationalism in it blinds its poorly educated people into believing that we are some kind of threat to national security

 

The only potential threat posed by foreign investors is to the social stability of the Kingdom, and the relationship between the local haves and the have-nots.

The Thai “haves” want to continue to control the economy and have access to cheap labor, such as cheap nannies, cheap maids, cheap drivers, etc.

That is why they want at least 51% Thai ownership of almost all businesses.

Most Thais are thoroughly fed up with nominees setting up businesses for non Thais. The next step is to go after those who buy land for foreigners,although this would be an administrative nightmare for government bodies. If you don’t respect the law here,simply move.
