A few years ago the police tried to raid a Nigerian church in the Bang Na area of Bangkok. Over one hundred Nigerians fought the police and the police left.

In terms of property ownership, and specifically apartments/condos, although the terms “condominium” and “apartment” are often used interchangeably, when discussing real estate, in Thailand, there is a clear distinction between the two.
In a development with a condominium license, the developer can sell freehold units to foreign buyers, making this a significant difference. Freehold condominiums in Phuket, and throughout Thailand, differ from standard apartments because they possess this condominium license. This license allows up to 49% of the private living space in a condominium building to be purchased by foreign investors on a freehold basis, the freehold of the property being registered directly in the foreign buyers name, with the remaining 51% owned either by Thai nationals, held in a Thai company, or leased to foreigners.
For regular apartments in Phuket—those without a condominium license—the ownership structure is typically either a 30-year lease or shares in a company that holds the freehold. In some cases, an apartment might involve both a lease and shares in the freehold-owning company. This dual approach is known as a “protected leasehold” structure, as owning shares in the freehold company provides added security for lease renewals. According to Thai law, a 30-year lease is the maximum for one term, but contracts often include options to renew for one or more additional 30-year periods, extending the total lease period.

Yes, I was aware of that but it seemed appropriate to mention the parallel need for safety in a domestic situation. To my surprise, as I read down the news clips there was the report of an elderly lady burned in her kitchen quite likely due to a damaged gas hose which would seem not to have had a shut-off valve on the regulator.

Nice of this lot to let us actually discuss it 4 years after the event though 👍
