I think this comment is somewhat Lost in Translation perhaps by the reporter, My understanding is that its more to do with big developers using their Thai wives names to buy and develop land and nothing to do with individual couples. I would have thought if you read this section it would be clear to...

SJ

I think I suggested the idea of a Pro and Con property thread.

Cant seem to remember asking how to buy a house.

Maybe a simple Yes/No would suffice. :wink:

Property Threads

How about running 2 threads on the property section, sort of the good and the Bad. Those wishing to promote property ownership could post on the Good, Those against could post on the Bad. Anyone crossing over threads could have their post deleated. There is a situation now that when a certain set of...

It would of course be better to look at the future rather than the past as Wanderlust says, but sadly I would disagree with the statement that the good outweigh the bad. They are still there if not a little quiet at present, same developers/real estate agents. Some who never had a pot to Pi-s in unt...

HHS is of course right but seems to be getting attacked for his postings from certain posters, (keep up the good work HHS). Of course the reality is that this does not just apply to Hua Hin but many tourist locations in Thailand. There are people who have absconded from their home countries for vari...

Hmmm On the 22nd the poster asks for advice on buying and selling land! On the 27th we got this wonderfull post, I invested 300,000 baht to help him and myself out. His clients returned Friday for second showing as promised. He had given me 2 rai at 150,000 baht each in Hup Ka Pong. Closed deal this...

If you need to fit an alarm system then why not go to home-pro.

They are not expensive and very easy to fit and come with full instructions in English.

If you can wire a plug then you should find this way easy,

Sorry guys, I dont think it will make any difference if you raise one baht for the lease or not, seems more like a face saving notice saying the lease is up. More likely their time is up for these corrupt officials who openly take back-handers for favours to some locals. Anyway as said you can post ...

In light of recent events I am not really surprised that the imm office is moving from its present location. With all the fuss being created about real estate company involvment within the police and immigration this is really no surprise to anyone. I doubt that the local staff at immigration will b...

I sort of understand how this woman may have felt. There is one nasty little sh-t in town who does not take a polite no, even in Thai. The same guy will pester you all night coming round again and again. I know I am not the only one to get hacked off with this individual, by late evening he will app...

Hi Khundon Go for it, Hua Hin is a fast expanding place and there is always room for improvements in local food outlets. Get yourself set up and then try hawking your products around the local bars and resturants, if they are that good then of course you will have a market. If your wife is Thai then...

dtaai-maai Yes of course as many others have seen, I do of course understand that the Hua Hin market is booming at present and bucking the trend of other world destinations. But Bangers, THE luxury condominium market will dive next year as the global economic downturn continues to dry up the much-ne...

The report that more people had registered with estate agents was of course put out by the Estate Agents Assosiation and the body that represents the surveyors assosiation. In fact sales figures released last week show a further decline in house sales, this is of course coupled with the fact the ban...

I also agree with red,s comments but would add, Reports at least 2 months ago stated that there would be a lag effect for Asian economies. The exact reason for this is beyond me but it is certainly starting as predicted. The price of raw materials has crashed, ie steel, copper, and so on. China is n...
