That meeting on the 31st of may was around the same time that the law changed and all the foreigners were disturbed by change in foreign ownership laws or guidelines. One of the last messages on this topic said the govenor of this province was attending and was the same guy who wanted more control o...

If it was in the recommended by the school hospital i would go elsewhere as it will come back with the usual "no sign of ..." no matter what. Also my English doctor said a simple skin test was the norm and he never heard of a "shiit in a cup test" for scabies which was what the s...

Somtawin School. 80,000baht year. scabies. no toilets filth.

Not only will this school take the 80,000 baht year plus a lot of extras, but they will give your kids scabies and let them shiit in thir pants because the school toilets are all backed up and unusable for the last 2 weeks. The classroom thai teachers cannot even speak chicken english and the foreig...

No I put the main house in long term gf's name as a temporary solution(dangerous I know but I was dangled along) and the holiday home leased for 30 years. Lawyer took a longer than agreed to set up company and by then the law or guidelines (or whatever selfish assholing) was changed again. Was aroun...

I read somewhere about the salary and fines that bargirls get and have to pay like 50 baht each a day to the police and 200 baht if missing a day etc. Might have been thaivisa or mangosauce. Say a bar has 10 bargirls, that would mean the owner have to pay 3,500 baht a week to the 'police'(thailands ...

WHat's his face that square face guy. I don't know if the articles about him and the family buying into the real estate business big time in phuket and other places so it makes sense to do something like this to lower the property values as low as possible and in typical self serving fashion sit on ...

Do the family and friends think it was a accidental hit and run for sure as no one mentioned and the thai police are thai police. There was another guy hit (on a motorbike) and run around the same day past dusit resort on the side heading toward hua hin. a guy and a motorbike were lying in the middl...

I thought the company loophole for buying land was closed. Or was that just for that chinese family in power and cronies to buy up lots of real estate cheaply.
No wonder foreigners get jaded in thailand with all the snake assing the government people and police play.

The way them Thai police always screw the foreigners is shameful for the country. At the thai border also the thai police allow the peasants to sell them cheap boxes of 200 lights for something like 5 dollars for every 400 ciggerettes you buy. They are dry fake crap so don't waste money on them. Nev...
