Not the point of the thread is it. Not all Thai people or foreigners are corrupt / tricky / greedy. -

Thailand Urged to Establish Shelters for Rohingya Migrants to Prevent Trafficking
I watched an Australian documentary a few years back about the plight of Rohingya who try to reach Thailand. They had evidence members of Thai military essentially captured them and sold them across the border to Malaysian factory owners where they are held as virtual slaves with no rights at all. Seems this is ideal example where those who should be part of the solution are major part of the problem -

Today the local radio station, news report saying a foreigner made a complaint at the police station regarding an assault, when in fact he was the abuser. These psycho foreigners are amongst us, so many here. I'm taking the side of the Bolt rider -

Buying a house without using a lawyer
I add further, don't fall for the old trick of being told by a Thai lawyer(s) that local Thai folks / foreigners are not allowed to do the 'transaction' at a Land Title Office (LTO), must be done by a qualified Thai lawyer, officially pre-registered at the LTO. I know that locals / foreigners can do the transaction without a lawyer: 1. The Pattaya LTO tried this when my company bought a house and land property in Sth Pattaya. My own long term well respected lawyer in Bkk(respected by several snr ministers, challenged this and the Pattaya LTO backed down. My Bkk lawyer sent a junior qualified lawyer from his office to 'observe' the transaction at the Pattaya LTO. The junior lawyer (not afraid to speak up) insisted on giving a letter, from my Bkk lawyer, to the Pattaya snr. LTO officer explaining he was there to observe that the transaction was conducted according to the law. The snr Pattaya LTO guy was shocked and frightened by the letter and did ensure all was done according to the law and regulations. Snr. Pattaya LTO officer then tried to give the junior lawyer several gifts to pass to my lawyer in Bkk. Junior lawyer refused to accept the gifts. 2. I bought a condo in Phaya Thai area of Bkk. The seller asked me to accompany him to the LTO for the transfer of owners name on the chanut. I requested that my Thai adult well educated / experienced son accompany us. Seller agreed. At the LTO everything was done according to the law and the regulations. My Thai son did some research before we went to the LTO and politely asked several questions. On arrival at the LTO the staff welcomed me politely and asked if I had any questions. All questions from my son received with good attitude and all answered in detail. Son satisfied. No request whatever for 'gifts'.- 1
