Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand

[petedk]

They always talk about condos, but what about houses?

 

Chinese rent luxury houses at ridicously high prices and then rent out the rooms to Chinese tourists at even higher prices.

The mess they leave on the road outside the house is absolutely disgusting.

Maybe a smaller old building is best bet...as another poster said those big new massive buidlings with tons of very small units are perfect targets for the "i don't give a crap" owners who ignore the hoa rules and the law and find a property manager who will run a "mini hotel" within the project which the HOA must surely know about but is either incompetent or getting a cut to look the other way. 

 

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out if rooms are being rented out short time and which units are involed and who owns them.  A warning letter then fines then turn off electric and water to owners who continue to violate or pay fines...problem solved  "assuming" the juristic is not on the take.

 

Let these asxwipes know that if you want to be in hotel biz then buy a hotel, get a license, pay the taxes etc.

I stayed for a while in a place where the next door unit was a revolving Russian party house. NO use in complaining, they are both dense and mean. Exactly why I will NEVER buy a condo in Thailand.
