Hi this is not my field of expertise and is actually UK centric - not sure - It is a draft 'Requirements Gathering Document' for suppliers can anyone offer any comments?



Scope.



The combined water and gas boiler projects are based at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx under the jurisdiction of xxxxxxxxxx Management ltd, a Dormant Company. The house is composed of 4 individual flats. Three of the flats have water tanks in an L shaped triangular attic. Over time every water tank has caused serious structural problems to the building. Currently the water tank belonging to Flat C is causing structural problems to Flat D's (top floor) kitchen ceiling and the external roof (which has been patched). Flats A through to D acknowledge that they have a legal obligation to 'Shelter'.



Flat A "Goal" – May well be considering selling in the near future and would like to make their property more marketable.



The current situation for Flat A is as follows:



Mains water is delivered via the rear of the building and is completely dedicated to this Flat (A) and is unaffected by the water usage of other flats:                          TRUE                     or                            FALSE



The water tank for Flat A is located in Flat D's attic, along with the mains water supply.



The Boiler in Flat A is well over ¼ of a century old. There appears to be no service history for this boiler.



Flats B and C "Goal" – It is planned to merge Flat B and C into one single Flat, by the current owners of Flat B i.e. Flat C is selling to Flat B.



The current situation for Flat B is as follows:



For Flat B mains water is delivered via the rear of the building and is completely dedicated to this Flat ( B and is unaffected by the water usage of other flats:                            TRUE                     or                            FALSE



The water tank for Flat B is located in Flat D's attic, along with the mains water supply.



The Boiler in Flat B is only a few years old, but is only sized to support Flat B:                        TRUE                     or                            FALSE



The current situation for Flat C is as follows:



For Flat C mains water is delivered via the side of the building and the stop cock can be seen in the communal hall. This mains water supply is NOT dedicated to Flat C it is also shared by Flat D – (the two flats used to be combined). See later for notes on Flat D- Please confirm the bore size of the pipe.



Bore Size: ______________________________________



The water tank for Flat C is located in Flat D's attic, along with the mains water supply.



The Boiler in Flat C is well over ¼ of a century old. There appears to be no service history for this boiler.



Flat D "Goal" – Wish to reclaim as much of the attic space for their own use and to remove as many water tanks and as much infrastructure, as practically possible.



The current situation for Flat D is as follows:



Flat D is purely mains water supplied – please confirm:                  TRUE                     or                            FALSE



The Boiler in Flat D is brand new.



Questions To Suppliers:



1. Is the mains water pressure in Flats A, B, C, D adequate?                              YES                         or                            NO



Comments: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



2. Given Flat D is solely supplied by mains water is it possible to run a power shower from the water supply infrastructure?                  YES                         or                            NO



3. If Flat C were to go to mains water delivery what would be the impact on Flat D, and vice versa?



Comments: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



4. Please confirm that Flats A and B would be unaffected if Flat C were to move solely to mains water delivery:                      YES                         or                            NO



5. What is the viability of ¼ of a century old un-serviced boiler?                      UNVIABLE                           or                            POOR                    or            AVERAGE                            or                            GOOD



Comments: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



6. What options could you suggest to possibly preserve Flat B's boiler and hot water tank (which is fairly new and driven by a Header and Water Tank) without having to replace it due to Flat D's requirements (i.e. attempting to remove storage water infrastructure from the attic) and Flat B's requirement to merge with Flat C (e.g. two boilers, one single new boiler, other alternatives, etc.)?

7. What would be the impact on Flats A, B, C if they were to move solely to mains delivery (as is currently the situation for Flat D)?



Comments:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



8     Is it possible to combine the mains water supplies of Flat's B and C if they were to combine as a single flat in order to ensure good mains water supply?



Comments:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________





9     Is it possible to provide 'one, or if necessary multiple presentation points' for the water supply for each flat, in the attic, to provide for any future planned projects? E.g. new shower rooms, bath rooms etc.



Comments:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________







Summary:



The chosen supplier would be asked to harmonise xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Management ltd requirements in a cost effective and constructive way. It is conceivable that a phased approach to the overall project may be required, and this is not a problem. And we will need to meet as xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Management ltd and see what is, and what is not doable, and complement our joint goals sensibly, based on responses from several (ideally at least 3) separate suppliers, as is the standard for any such activity.



The priority is currently Flat C's water tank, which has/is causing structural problems to Flat D.



Access is only available to the attic via Flat D.



Flat D have stated that they wish to remove as much water tank infrastructure as practically possible, but acknowledge and have an obligation under the Lease (it is a 'demised property' in legal terms all though Flats A through to D do actually own each a 25% share of the freehold as a company) – The Second Schedule, section 3: Flat's A through to D must provide "The free and uninterrupted passage and running of water".



xxxxxxxx Management ltd is responsible for all infrastructural changes that affect the overall property.



Works done within the individual flats space, as defined by the leases, is of course a personal matter.



Suppliers - Please feel free to add notes wherever you feel them appropriate.

I have started a thread and am contributing to the thread below.

Rules in the Consideration of Alien Applications for Temporary Stay in the Kingdom of Thailand according to clause 2 of the order of the Royal Thai Police Headquarters no. 777/2551 dated on 25 November B.E.2551

Essentially I am looking for a 10m THB investment visa based on a condominium purchase. I know more of you guys on this thread than other threads.

And this is what I am going for:

(3) Proof of investment to purchase or rent for a period not less than 3 years of unit in a condominium from an agency or government agency concerned at a price of not less than 10 million baht.

Bearing in mind the mods have helped me on the main thread - no one has come forward and said I have done this.

Has anyone?

Hi Guys,

I normally post on the

We are UK based and attach the latest copies of the Thai UK Visa Application Form (front and back copies)

We have operated in Thailand on a Visa on Arrival (tourist type visa) since around 2005. And we purchased a condominium at The Park Residence Chidlom during this period. It is a substantial investment, at least to us and is one of the cheapest units in the entire condominium. Obviously it needs to be looked after, and indeed is simply a second home. It is not rented out etc. As a Farang unit the funds were brought into Thailand and paid in full.

Essentially what appears to be on offer is a retirement visa. For us I think this would be Non Immigrant Visa – Multi Entry in our case (for the moment).

However in the past I have noted that Investment Visas are also possible. I am new to this game we are currently on a Visa on arrival type visa (a sort of tourist type visa) and are 51 and 45 years old respectively

So we (combined) don't actually count for the type of visa on offer.

As an aside we have had considerable success in opening a Bangkok Bank passbook savings account on a Visa on arrival requiring a letter from the British Embassy. The account is a type 53 account. But we succeeded in upgrading this account for internet access – almost unheard of, and indeed Bangkok Bank has offered to assist us in any application by providing a complete independent audit of our Thai assets.

Our largest Thai asset is of course our Thai home at The Park Chidlom Condominium it is worth about 25m THB.

We are also seeking support from Hemaraj a .SETI company to assist us in such an application, and I don't see them refusing.

Our UK assets are considerable and a mix of cash and our main home (property) – no debts.

I have seen people on this forum say such a visa is no longer possible – if so not good news for the Condominium market.

I am soon about to engage the London Thai Embassy. Any thoughts/experiences you guys could give to add to my initial approach to them?

I will report back – positive or negative impact to us.
