@Thaiwanderer, actually there has been no spat, and 'negotiations' have been made by my Thai landlord - I have yet to set foot inside the OrBorTor office. For me, it's more a matter of principle about what 'farang' are legally allowed to do and what they cannot do.

As to the working part, I doubt very much if I could get a WP to dig dirt! I'm aware that even farting on-site can be classified as work, especially if I expend energy to emit said noxious gas. I keep a safe distance and pass instructions to my workers via a dead letter drop

Seriously why does it matter who's name the BP is in, as it only until the building is finished and then other licences are required anyway, which will have to be in your wife's name or a company name. The BP is also used to obtain power and permissions which would be hard for you to sign for anyway, so just having the BP in your wifes name is a lot easier and better on the BP (Blood Pressure this time).

There were two other chanotes, unrelated to that landlocked 1yarn between the lane way and that 1 yarn. That 1 yarn has never had access.   The closest bit of that lane way is ever to the 1 yarn was about 130m, in a straight line.  On the two Chanotes that we own, it has never had rights of access, nor thought the land that one of our chanotes had access through.

The 1 yar is less than 20m from what we believe to be a legal gov Soi, but that owner has also denied access.

Much of our land, and particularly near this 1yarn was swamp, we have spent millions of baht of over 3500 truck loads of rock and dirt fill and attain full legal access. Now this jerk says great, I will use that for my house.

Lots of fun and games, I will keep you posted so more people can learn. At  least the local "headman" is supporting us.    He took great offence when the jerk told him he had never got more than one replacement chanote and several have been found now.
Headman also want us to buy it, so that the proceeds can be dived up between the people   who have been ripped off, he is trying to at least do the right thing by everyone concerned.

having trouble visualising it - how does he currently access?

If a piece of land is landlocked then it must be given 'right of way'--this is the way it works. It will be up to the land office to decide whether it's thru your land or the swampy dirt road, but access he will have. Village headmen, lawyers and walls are not going to help with this. But you can decide what part of your land is given up for his access ie: it doesn't have to be in a straight line.
Also please enlighten everyone---what is 1 yarn (perhaps ngarn?).

So actually 'Glanville' you are basically complaining that the new 'Honourable person' is conducting business in an ethical fashion--as it should be for a person of responsibility. Congrats to him. I can just imagine your email next week---Dear Queen, your representative in Pattaya is honest and forthright--so sad for us loyal subjects in this region---

Hi Rumcabal. Can you tell me a bit of your situation at the port ?
I went up yesterday but as the other guy said I could not get past the security gate I was alone and tried to drive through.
When you went up did you have a Thai partner with you ? did you try to drive through ? or did you hide the car and sort of blend in with others who were walking through past the gate ?
When I was there I tried to offer the security my Thai driving license but was told that any person going through the gate Thai or farang who was not crew of the ship had to show Thai identity card. maybe as always this is just TiT.

Hi - I went there with 2 colleagues of mine, both Farang. We parked on the road outside and walked straight down to the ship, a distance of about 200m. At that gate, I didnt notice any security guard. At least if there was a guard there he didnt say anything to us. I have a Thai license but never had to show it. Come to think of it security was unbelievably lax. From the sounds of what others are saying it seems that we might have just been lucky on that day.

.......................

Hi again Rumcabal. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, I wish I had been with you, it seems to me it was right place right time. I did think of doing exactly what you did and park up the road and try to walk in like I was one of the crew coming back from pattaya but after trying to drive in and the guards seeing me it was a waste of time.

'Rumchabal' I think you are telling little lies here.
The gate in the picture is no where near the aircraft carrier, but if you had actually got near to the correct gate (and could see the ship over on the right) then the Thai guards (with Navy security also) would not of let you into the inner sanctum, plus just inside this gate is Navy security and you are funnelled into this by nearly 100 huge steel containers forming a barrier around the whole ship, plus the ship has guards and officers at each gangplank, so sorry your story is not plausible.

Also the 3 ships left this morning for Japan and refitting.

The procedure is simple.

Thailand to New Zealand:-
At check in with the airline, show US passport so the airline know that they can enter New Zealand. If asked why they have no Thai visa, show them their Thai passports.
At Thai passport control, show Thai passports so immigration know they have not overstayed.
On arrival in New Zealand, show immigration their US passports.

New Zealand to Thailand:-
At check in show Thai passport so the airline know that they can enter Thailand. If asked why they have no New Zealand visa, show US passport.
At New Zealand passport control, show US passport so immigration know they have not overstayed.
On arrival in Thailand show immigration their Thai passports.

There is no need to show Thai immigration their US passports at all, entering or leaving the kingdom.

My wife and daughter do this with their Thai and British passports every time we enter or leave the kingdom. We have only ever had one small problem when my daughter completed her blue immigration form in English. The Thai immigration officer made her do another one in Thai, saying "If you're Thai, fill this in in Thai!"

thanks for that info which is exactly what i told my wife buit she has had a couple of clients traveling with infants that were turned away because of no visa, hear say so who know tit but your method makes clear sence.

Mac Man---7by7's info is 100% correct for NZ, and it basically doesn't matter which country your other passport is from as long as you can enter NZ visa free. Remember at the SUV airport, airline requirements and Thai immigration requirements are completely different. Airline want confirmation of your validity to enter NZ (so they don't have to pay to have you repatriated) and Thai immigration are only worried that you entered, stayed and departed legally (ie: within your visa if you're an expat) or just see the Thai passport if you're a Thai citizen.
Do of course make sure both passports are valid,
