So you've spent 20 million, but would move to another country for the sake of a 1,000 baht....strange.

This is scam against Thai's...not foreigners.

So you've got that off your chest now...what's next?

Where do farang come into this???

Sad but true (and not only for Brits).

Surely you can't be that dense.

Been paying the 419 price for 3 years now, so nothing changed as yet.

First point--Of course extensions are done by agents at Jomtien. Why would you say this? Second point--This does seem to be true, but probably better to do it if asked.

You scoff at my post, but when I came into SUV at the end of July this is what the IO told me to do. Also in other threads, posters had mentioned the same for July arrivals. This IO practice may have been discontinued in August, but maybe other posters have had the same experience.

You write it on your boarding pass. Whether they record it is unknown. But it is their concern, not ours, if TM6 temporarily scrapped.

Sinking, pirates, permits, barnacles.

Of course its not derogatory...it is commonly used in daily speech.

The "Asian Institute of Technology" (AIT) in Bangkok will do it for free, but it takes a few days. It is a very detailed report if you request it.

A week is not enough time to open a new company..it can take up to 6 weeks. Plus you must take into account all the possible pitfalls I have mentioned previously. If you really want the land, and you only have a week to make an offer, then your only recourse is to buy in a thai persons name. But of course then you have a huge trust issue, so personally, even though it might hurt, it would be prudent to walk away for this (IMO).

Yes possible to do, but lawyer still required as there must be due diligence done on the company. It may have taxes owed, unpaid loans, asset liabilities etc. Also still a time consuming process as old directors/shareholders must be taken off, and you and your shareholders added to the company. Plus the last paragragh of my earlier post would still apply. It is easier if the land/asset you are buying is already owned by the company, then it is just a matter of changing director/shareholders, but still must do due diligence as described above. It seems you are new these proceedings, so be careful on whatever course you take.
