British Man Arrested for Smuggling £1M Cannabis from Thailand
You say you were a customs officer but you talk as if you were a medical man and social worker combined, not merely someone who applies whatever tariffs and import prohibitions happen to be applied by the government. -

Do you know Ben Bartree?
I'm glad to hear it. I just thought that calling him Nim Chimpsky was a bit snide. My mistake. I'm not endorsing him 100%, nor Bernie, but I like a lot of his thinking, and he is a thinker. -

CAM Fee massive 43% increase for zero extra benefit
Buying a condo--anywhere--is usually a big investment--at least it is for me. As others have said, you should have done better checking of this project before you purchased. That would include checking the AGM meeting minutes, checking the financials, checking the swimming pool and gym, checking the general condition of the project, making trips to the project both in the daytime and at night, and interviewing some residents, if possible. Doing these things should have alerted you, at the minimum, to the impending rise in condo fees, the parking problem, and the fee to use the gym. I certainly would not pay the delinquent fees the previous owner owed and I would let the Juristic know that they made an error in producing the debt-free letter when the condo was not debt-free. Show your closing paperwork indicating the date when you took possession of the condo and let it be known that you will only be paying condo fees from that date forward. Don't be afraid to make a stink--either with the juristic, with the condo board, or, if necessary, at the next AGM. Or, all of them, if necessary. The rise in condo fees is not necessarily a bad thing. Many older projects have condo fees that are way too low to properly maintain the project. Either fees are raised or the project slides downhill. At the last older condo project I owned at, the condo fee was too low to maintain the project in the style the residents were accustomed to. Rather than raise the condo fee, which I think was 40 baht/sqm, there was a special assessment each year I owned there to cover the shortfall. The shortfall special assessment added to the regular condo fee translated to a total condo fee of around 60 baht/sqm., depending on that year's special assessment amount. I was happy to pay the special assessment because the condo was a big investment for me and I wanted to protect my investment. -

Electronic visa extension system has been around for a year! Has anyone used it?
Other countries don't charge a fee for the online service other than the visa fee. It can be deduced it is a ripoff if the entity charges more to get it done quicker. It is obviously a scam to rip off people who are late with their application and need quick consideration. The other aspect of document submissions is that IB asks for the submission of information that it already has. It also asks for photographs despite the fact they take digital photographs at the interview. The visa process would be smoother and shorter if they did not require submission of documents they already have in IB files. The IB previously asked for a swathe of documents with the 90-day report application by mail. Since the online service, IB only asks for the online application form submission and no other documents. That is proof that the swathe of documents they had previously requested with 90-day report submissions by mail was unnecessary. A visa extension requires the submission of 14 pages of documents which appears excessive.- 2

Proposal Needed for Legal Revisions to Foreign Land Leases
Absolutely no justification for the state to insert itself into the transactions or for the Finance Ministry to get involved. Just amend the Land Code to allow the maximum lease to be 99 years. Then the land reverts to the original owner or heirs However, without more detailed leasing law, this will still not work very well. Lessees need the right to transfer the lease to buyers or leave it heirs which is not automatically possible without the freeholder's consent. Since a Thai lease is just a legal agreement between two parties, it is not binding on anyone else, including new owners of the freehold. That should be tidied up. 99 year leases are also of interest to Thais for land that the owners want to keep permanently in the estate but this obviously will not help them, -
