Competency Affidavit for Marriage Certificate
A certificate of mental competency would translate to something like: ใบรับรองความสามารถทางจิต. You might want to ask the registrar for a sample letter of what they are looking for which you can show the hospital. Most government hospitals have a doctor who handles psychiatric issues and this person would probably better understand what the registrar is looking for. -

Allegations have surfaced that half of the building's 450 units are being rented out daily on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. This has shone a spotlight on Thailand's ongoing struggle with enforcing short-term rental laws.

British Tourist Knocked Out by Pattaya Club Bouncer
This guy has taken the same idiotic (drunken) tack as the old Canadian guy in Soi 6 about 2 months ago. (They really shouldn't be allowed out by themselves) -

Daily Rentals in Bangkok Condos: A Growing Legal Dilemma
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post In the bustling neighbourhood of Sukhumvit 11, a condominium is drawing ire from its residents and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). Allegations have surfaced that half of the building's 450 units are being rented out daily on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. This has shone a spotlight on Thailand's ongoing struggle with enforcing short-term rental laws. The root of the issue appears to be a lax enforcement of existing laws, such as the 1979 Building Control Act, according to which such rentals could be deemed illegal. Although the BMA conducted an inspection and identified these activities, no legal measures have been taken. A letter from the Wattana district office, sent in January, sought further details on unit owners violating these laws, but outcomes remain pending. A foreign resident, also a unit owner, expressed concerns over the disruptive nature and safety risks brought by these transient guests. He highlighted that daily check-ins have been organised, and housekeeping services are visibly operating to accommodate the continuous flow of guests. The situation exacerbates as signs prohibiting such rentals have been removed. Speculation surrounds a Taiwanese national, who since mid-2022 has chaired the condo’s board and is allegedly managing the rental operation. Furthermore, claims suggest that a significant portion of these arrangements involve long-term lessees subletting units for short stays, with some owners possibly unaware of the breach in legality. The condo developer is reported to have actively participated by allocating units for this scheme. The juristic management recently shifted to a company linked to a prominent firm on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, yet this has done little to curb daily rentals. Patcha Techaruvichit of the Thai Hotels Association highlighted that the phenomenon extends beyond Sukhumvit 11, particularly in tourist-heavy areas like Pratunam Market. She emphasised that, while some countries are adapting to the model, Thailand ought to tread carefully, given potential safety discrepancies compared to standard hotels. The issue underscores a broader trend of weak law enforcement, leaving many residents like our source frustrated and helpless, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-04 -

90 day App report with new Oz Passport
If you are going to use the new passport number for doing the report online your submission will be rejected. I would anticipate if you 're-registered from scratch' and submitted, it would be rejected as well. You might try using the old passport number, if you are so inclined, and it would likely be approved. Which office are you dealing with? If you do the 90-day report in person with a new passport at CW the IO will tell you to get the stamps in the old passport transfered first, before proceeding with the 90-day report. I did this at CW about six months ago. Went to the 90-day desk, and was informed to have the stamps transferred first. Rather smooth process, it took about a half-hour in all for the stamps to be transferred, and then the 90-day IO handled my report right away after I returned to that desk. And at CW, for the transfer, they'll want to see your bankbook and for you to provide a copy of the account's activity since your last extension.
