Bumping into a old friend

Hi guys, I saw an old mate who used to pop into the shop every now and then near the railway crossing earlier tonight. His name is Les or Des, I believe he has a guesthouse in Hua hin. Maybe it was my new car because I don't think he recognised me. I don't know if his usual haunts but if a mutual fr...

The Vintage development

Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has brought at the vintage development by LHM.
3.5 mil baht seems to good to be true for what is being offered. The development completed about 2 yrs ago.
Thanks for any replies.

Re: UK Inland revenue living in Thailand

I'm thinking of doing my own accounts this year as they are simple enough this year and come just above the income tax t...

Re: Buying UK property with Thai partner

I Visited my solicitor today while I'm in uk for a few weeks. They said it would be tricky to get her on the deeds as the re mortgage of my house can only be in my name. They did suggest a 'declaration of trust', which would secure her part of the investment, which I'm happy to do. Prices (I think) ...

Re: Buying UK property with Thai partner

Thanks Pet and Khundon. Iv used the same solicitor in the uk for a few years, I just didn't want my partners' family thinking I was trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

Buying UK property with Thai partner

Hi everyone, Have any of you before brought a U.K. property with a Thai partner, whilst residing in Thailand? First thing I'll need is real good translator (writing Thai from English).
