This is a very well-meaning topic. If you do not have anything positive to say then please move on. For those who might enjoy the company of like-minded men, many of who will have been in Thailand for some years then do consider attending.

In my opinion, that ATM does not seem to be put there by any bank. Must be one of the third party machines. I would never trust an ATM that was placed in such position.
The yellow colour of the ATM is very indicative of it being placed there by a bank. That, and there are very very few third party ATM machines in Thailand.

Gentlemen, please stop defaming individuals and companies in Pattaya. Forum Rule 7 states:
7. You will not post defamatory or libelous comments. Defamation is the issuance of a statement about another person or business which causes that person or business to suffer harm or loss. A statement does not have to be false to be defamatory. Libel is when the defamatory statement is published either as a drawing, picture, painting, motion picture, film, or letters made visible by any means or by broadcasting, dissemination or propagation by any other means. Defamation is both a civil and criminal charge in Thailand and elsewhere in ASEAN.
I hope this explanation is clear enough.

What part of Thailand is the house located in? What area would you like the contents stored?

There is often a shoe repair man who sits in a doorway very near to where Sukhumvit 11 joins Sukhumvit Road. You will find the exact spot by clicking this google map link:

No idea if he is any good though, although he has been there a long time.

Not my understanding. What allowances and deductions are you applying?
360K equates to 13,450 Baht in income tax.
150K = zero
150 to 300 (5%) = 7450
300 to 360 (10%) = 6000
As a single person you would receive an allowance of 100,000 and a deduction of 60,000.
Total income would be 12 x 30,000 =360,000. Deduct 100,000 and also deduct 60,000 leaving 200,000.
The first 150,000 is not taxed. The remaining 50,000 is taxed at 5 per cent.
5 per cent of 50,000 is 2,500 baht.
Revenue Department information regarding personal income tax can be found here:

Thanks, I was thinking of a very loud alarm. You mean break glass both sides to allow override of security activated unlock as a failsafe?
Yes, but the unlock would be controlled by the fire alarm system, not the security system.
That's a very important distinction. You can't lock a fire door with a security system.

Easy solution would be to add a magnetic lock to the emergency fire door that is wired into the fire alarm panel.
If the fire alarm is activated the magnetic lock opens.
Add an emergency glass break box on both sides of the door to override the system and the door is both secure and compliant.
If people break the glass and use the override then further add a very loud alarm that can only be reset with a key held by security.

Following behind someone opening the door with a keycard is a difficult one.
Don't use access cards on all the doors. Use facial recognition/fingerprint in the lift, for example.
That makes it very difficult for the average short term renter to get to the correct floor.

How do you get trough with a lot of shopping?
You don't install a turnstile. You install an access gate similar to what the BTS uses, where panels retact into the sides of the gate.
Quite nice options available in glass.

Yes. It is a fire door with press bar opening on both sides, rather than the normal one only facing condo side..
Do you have an existing building fire alarm system?
Do you have an existing building access control system?
Does the door ever need to be used other than in an emergency?

e.g how do you control access via a fire escape door that opens both ways and can't be locked (obviously).
The first thing would be to use a security seal on the fire doors to see if there is actually a problem.
There are lots of options available online, but the main idea is that the seals do not stop operation of the door in the event of a fire.
If you do have an issue then it depends on the exact type of door you have. An inside and outside photo of the complete door and frame would be needed for advice as doors and hardware differ greatly.

Sukhumvit 15 Residences in Bangkok use a pedeatrian access gate with an access card and automatic barriers for vehicles to enter the ground floor parking garage, along with proactive security staff. There is no squeezing past the barriers as they take up the entire width of the available space.
After this you need facial ID or fingerprint to enter the main lobby, then your access card to use the lift.
It's an excellent system. The juristic manager will not enrol short term tenants and security will not just let you in.
It is the facial ID/fingerprint system that defeats short term renters.

Go back to the District Office that married you. If possible try and see the officer that married you. There is a good chance that they will quickly correct the error for free.
Be super polite and relaxed and let your wife do the talking (assuming she is Thai).
Keep smiling and it should all get sorted out.

Yes, no problem at all.

Don't do that. Put your property in your name. It's a better way forward.

I'm sorry to be blunt but there are no workarounds.
Firstly, the vehicle will belong to whoever is listed as the owner in the blue book.
Secondly, your organisation is not a juristic person, so it cannot own property. Importantly, it also cannot bind itself to a contract, so any kind of document or contract used as a workaround would be invalid as one party (your organisation) doesn't exist in law.
If your organisation is not recognised in law it cannot be listed as the owner in the blue book.
Any other legal basis that you might try to use to work around this fact will almost certainly fail because the organisation will not be able to sue in its own name.

You can't. Instead register the vehicle in the name of the Foundation.
