On a side note, how many entries does a multi-entry visa entitle you to? Does it state how many on the visa stamp?

A multiple entry means that you have an unlimited number of entries, as long as the visa itself is still valid.

Is the validity period usually 1 year or is it at the discretion of the consulate?

Appreciate the quick response. Is a yearly work permit the longest available? Does the thai ministry of labour have a website that explains the procedures and costs (no problem if its thai only)?

In Topic: English-Thai Dictionary

I bought a Paiboon publishing dictionary a few years ago and still find use for it. It has Thai-English, English-Thai and an English-Thai transliteration. Its a pocket book so not comprehensive but I think its good. I also have SE-ED's Modern English-Thai, Thai-English dictionary which is much more comprehensive.

In my western Bangkok moobaan a sinking fund charge occurred when the Thai wife and I bought the property.   The charge was 400 baht per talang wah of land...this was suppose to be our one and only payment for community maintenance while living in the house...been here going on 4 years and haven't paid a stang since.  Our house was new so we are the first owners.  I think when a house is resold the new owner is suppose to pay into the sinking fund just like I did....400 baht per talang wah of land.   It's to cover the cost of community maintenance (i.e., grounds keeping of community areas, keeping things repaired/painted in the community areas, sweeping the roads, garbage pickup, etc).  It also covers security.   Maybe also for maintenance of the clubhouse swimming pool but the clubhouse has a lot of money making activities always going on so maybe its actually a money maker/business for the moobaan developer. When we were house hunting it seems all the moobaans in western Bangkok that we checked out operated like this.   I do know this moobaan is around 17 years old....and I know some folks who bought homes back them and they only paid the one time fee which was a charge per talang wah of land and they have never had to pay anthing since.

So in your experience its an either/or charge. Either sinking fund or regular maintenance charge?
