#5247700 No Deal On Computer Tablets, Thai Education Ministry Prepares Textbooks

Another scam! My son attends a Thai school here in Bangkok. I was told about the tablets so I told him. He was very happy about the plan. What do I tell him now? He'll grow up not believing what he is told by authorities. This is how the trust goes out of the window.

A valuable lesson in life best learned young, especially if he's going to live in Thailand.

#5151600 Can Foreigner Buy A House And Land? Same Question Again But Just To Be Sure I...

I think Naam owns his land and house through a company and starting to feel uncomfortable.Posted Image
No worries just slip a few K to the inspector. Posted Image
why would ridiculous statements based on thin air illogical assumptions make me feel uncomfortable? yes we built our house, owned by us in our names, on land owned by a company which is 100% Thai owned without any Farang shareholder or Farang director. the prevailing setup was neither easy nor inexpensive because of the changes from the initial setup. the running cost (administration, corporate tax, audit, annual return) are quite high but still only a fraction of the 10,735 US-Dollars property tax we paid for our former house in Florida plus a (much) lower property tax amount levied on our home in Germany, not to mention other direct or indirect taxes.

if i add to the property taxes the fancy German income tax (later a lower U.S. federal income tax) we pay peanuts in Thailand. i am of course aware that the route we chose is not an option for each and everybody. but there are a number of ways to skin a cat own landed property in Thailand besides a condo based on "foreign allocation" or a Thai partner.

i also admit that the rental option is the best way to go for people who shy away from capital outlay or don't have the dough and/or are happy with the "taste" their landlord provides. to each his own, one size does not fit all. rendering advice whether owning, renting or whatever is as nonsensical as telling a stranger what partner to select.

Whats your point Naam? I don't really think the Thai authorities will worry too much about the missing grass cuttings etc. they would already have plenty to use and give a v hard time to anyone who can't prove a company is genuine..at ANY time in the future, Thai law is quite clear on this.
my point is that "genuine" companies do exist. but my rebuttal was directed at your posting which contained "all assets have to be sold off.. including of course any vehicles & family home that are registered to that company" and similar irrelevant insinuations based on the wrong assumption that home, vehicles, etc. are owned by a company. when a company is sold no individual company assets have to be sold as the assets remain company property.

facit: it is advisable to do a wee bit of logical thinking or gather information before posting.

Sure didn't have any problem raising funds for the extravagant Dolphin themed street lights along North Pattaya Road

I wonder how long they will last before the scrap dealers start to dismantle them
Right up there with the pedestrian crosswalks?


#5113064 Thai Drivers License Renewal Question

Pattaya for the second renewal of my five year Thai Drivers license ( both motorcycle and automobile )  do I need TWO residence certificates issued by Jomtien Immigration or will one certificate suffice for two licenses ?

Speaking from past experience there (5 years ago) if you did both renewals at the same time then only 1 original with copies would work.

I would hope that the Win 7 Home Premium you are considering will have Thai fonts installed. My biggest disappointment with Home Premium ( Retail Box from a HK distributor, no problems validating) is that Micro$oft wants me to upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate to be able to download Thai Language pack Posted Image

This is not a problem. One way to overcome it, is to use Vistalizator
