soi 3 and SRB have "learned" ...... and i guess i have as well .
our comments are not those of "bitter old men" . just maybe trying to give real life
examples , from which we (hopefully) learnt .
don't think any of us will be taking the leap off any tall buildings ...........

I'm giving the wrong impression here. I don't mean Europeans aren't criminal, I simply observe a strong trust in laws within the Europeans (I mean American, Canadian etc... too) when compare to the Thai people.
In the mind of the Finnish guy Jay he has a piece of paper which gives him a sense of security because he believes the system will protect him. Thai people in my observation don't have this same trust because they know there is a corruption in the officials and the paper is only as good the person willing to enforce it, which may never happen.
I've never gone through the legal system in Thailand but I don't trust it because I see the Thai people themselves don't trust their authorities. That's my only point.
be cautious....very cautious . very famous book called " A KILLING SMILE " .

Prenups have been in Thailand for many many years--and are probably (if done properly ) the best way to protect assets. They have been around for that long that you dont even have to go to a lawyer now--just buy the package from law firms that specialize in them. https://www.thailandlawonline.com/prenuptial-contract-th-en/prenuptial-contract
All these "BEST LEGAL" ways to do things are only as "best" as the family you marry into , and the moves you make accordingly . Those with success stories almost always use their critical thinking and experience in making good choices. Much more so than those thinking the law or lawyer is on their side.
Many stories on thaivisa if one has a month or two to read them all .............

or, as i have stated, "kicking" your legal wife/ husband out without a legal judgement .

i don't believe you can kick your Thai wife out ....legally . Just as the wife can not kick her husband out if a legal marriage registered in Thailand .
Maybe best NOT to get married, but get a usufruct (for life) on the title deed (if allowed by the Land office) . uhhhhh like i have
but i have no illusions about what difficulties there would be if i wanted to kick the "owner" of the property off the land 🙂

He has full control of the land until he dies, no matter who owns it, whether he is married or divorced means nothing. He is legally due any rent from it, and it cannot be sold without him signing off on it, and even after being sold he has full control of it, not any new owner.
not really correct . the property ( and house if it has one) is legally his to USE . ( and in effect, if not reality, control who lives there and what can be done on the property ) . and YES, it can not be sold without him signing the agreement at land office to REMOVE the usufruct . HE CAN NOT SELL THE PROPERTY as he is not the owner . period
as for the other point ..... do not think someone can buy the property until his usufruct is removed ( and who would anyway ) . But MY EXPERIENCE here in CM , and also in Lamphun province, is the head of land office immediately says that FIRST the usufruct must be rescinded by the person before any sale can take place .
What lawyers can or can not do ..... who knows ?? Money changing hands unseen can accomplish much .

If you've plenty of time and patience to handle those buyers interested yourself, and you want max profit due to no commissions or fees -- yeah, the no agent route may work.
But, if you're not hanging on the last baht of profit, and would rather be playing golf than playing realtor -- I can recommend a local guy (American), who comes highly recommended to me by a neighbor, who recently used him to sell his 25M baht "bungalow" here in Luang Nuea.
Guy's name is Paul. Don't know how his fees stack against competitors....
https://www.doisaketproperties.com/property_category/property-for-sale/page/
I have heard from another guy living here that there was someone ..... sounds like Paul .... so i will contact him .
also, you are right..... not fun playing realtor , but in my experience "good ones" are not..... good . 🙂
even one that comes "recommended" sometimes can be a big disappointment .

Possibly Facebook......in the property section. When I sold my two houses I took pics of the inside and outside and put them on an A4 flyer which I handed out to all and sundry as well as pinning them up in bars of folks I knew. I even got a response from someone who saw the flyer in a Go-go bar!!
In the end I sold one through my Lawyer, who contacted some of her clients about it, and one from a banner I had made up and put on the gate. Also of course put an advert (with pics) in the local newspaper
Good luck with whatever you do
good idea to tell and show everyone . you never know , and actually i only got one buyer from a facebook posting .

After a hundred years ( slight exageration ) living around CMai I also am selling . I have sold some properties before , using online forums or word of mouth . My ONE agent experience was NOT a good one , very little done but they did have a three page contract i had to sign. I stopped that at expiration date !
Facebook forums would be ok BUT agents are posting continuously their stuff. By day 2 your listing will be on page 20 .
And yes, agents will call you . Still, worth posting on various groups .
Anyone interested in a 2 1/2 year old strong house , about 110 sq mt on 178 dw of land in same general area as Luang Neua ..... Doisaket .... can PM me .( price around 3.5 m) I also have experience (buying and selling about 6 properties over time ) and can answer some questions regarding usual things one might encounter in sales/ buying . (NOT ADVICE ... just my experiences ! )

Interesting that this "procedure" hasn't seemed to change over the years . It was twenty odd years ago when i rounded up two neighbors i barely knew ( can you help, i need two witnesses to go to the Amphur with me to vouch that i live here) .
they were a little hesitant, but off we went in my car and all was done with no problem . I lived in that location and was friendly with them for a long time ( some gift baskets at Christmas once in a while ) .
that yellow book, which some on here think has "no use" ...... saved me the hassle of dealing with immig. asking for the proof of address each time i renewed my drivers license . And, once or twice at other times .........

Why? it's another pointless war promoted by governments, high society elites and media companies.
Do you have a response which isn't propaganda talking points by said groups? I wasn't around for Vietnam (born 82) but I was told that's how it was back then too.

Judging by the huge numbers of posts by some posters, I would say you are wrong about the forum not being an integral part of anyone's life.
I dare say that there are some who post here, who, not long ago, had more posts in one month, than I had in the entire 14 years and 4 months that I have been a member!yessir . when confinements and strong mandates put many humans on a downward spiral , it was for others the
dream they had always ( well, since early fantasies of fame and power
) hoped for. Locked in prisoners with nothing to do but cruise the forums looking for a creative outlet for their meaningless existence . ooooops , a bit harsh there Rumie .
And so . the explosion of online shopping and home delivery gave a certain group of closet warriors the greatest gift of all . Freedom ! That's right , the freedom to not have to compete in the real games of life , where honor and respect are gained by deeds performed with one's unique set of abilities and dangjai ( nah, don't learn thai . pfffttt ) .

I am absolutely thrilled to have two of the greatest forums , not just in Thailand but worldwide ! ... joining forces, mods holding hands and doing sacred rituals to enhance their powers of perception of good and evil ( posts ) .
Seriously , for an old, bitter man like myself......prone to outbursts of" NOT SO ! RED BULL ! " and other tin hat theories that have no place in a free world .... This will be a blessing . No longer will i need to put energy into two different media
legends to receive that vaunted vacation to solitude island . NO sir . Now, just one "misinformation" required to be given a firm reminder .
NOTE: To start off the new "union" ...... all members shall be required to undergo a .....uh..... little quiz ( for placement purposes only) . All will be given this Rumak post to read and then answer a simple question : Was it a. inspiring and honest b. typical far rght Trump hogwash c. slightly tongue=in=cheek d. duh ( emoji, emoji )
disclaimer: i have yet to peruse the new rules and guidelines , but i am sure they will be just as fair and impartial as they have always been . Viva la union ! Onward thru the fog..... and may all hold their members high in the glory of a new chapter for mankind.

We pay the 500 baht monthly fee for the red box, contribute to their social events, and I give them 3000 for Christmas. And honestly, with years of hindsight, the system works and is terrific value of money.
Exactly the same amounts that I give to my wife . I wonder why I don't get the same terrific response ??😇

Yup, that's EXACTLY what they do and say. Overpriced paracetamol + anti-inflammatory a must. They don't know sports medicine, and they're not accustomed to dealing with seniors who exercise.
Been there, done that. Once I figured I had tennis elbow and I talked to the ortho at THE private hospital in Pattaya. He said, "You have tennis elbow," and told me to rest and take pills. I fixed it on my own w/ stretching and particular exercise, done regularly. Thank you, Dr. Youtube.
Now the problem is that doing nothing may (or may not) make the pain go away, but soon as you do your exercise again, it will start back up. So it's necessary to be proactive and find some potential stretching & strengthening exercises from the gurus on youtube. I've had great success that way, but it takes time, like a month, to see good results--if you get good results.
In case of a serious show-stopper, it seems only the best at Bumrungrad can come up w/ a good diagnosis and treatment that might work. So my idea is to get the initial X-rays and MRI at a public hsp then bring them to the Big Guns. If the problem isn't that structural (requiring surgery) chances are that therapy will fix it IF you find the right therapy--and you have the discipline to stick to the routine. Tough to keep it up for hoped-for results weeks later . . . .
You have pretty well described the exact procedure (s) I go through . Youtube has plenty ( too much really) of ideas, but i'm sure you have a few favorites to check out when needed. I always get a kick out of the overweight housewife in her dining room trying to show the correct way to fix a herniated disk.... or some such thing !
Very importantly , in my case and i think many other "seniors" . is establishing which body functions are not producing what they did at early and mid life. For example , why vit D supplementation, and magnesium, and collagen etc are so important as our body produces less as time goes by . ( of course, this is a simplification of a .imo, vital if not foremost reason for our bodies degeneration ( hope i die before i get old 55 ..... well, that didn't happen so i guess even some ageing rockers are now going "healthy" .
As you wisely state ..... DISCIPLINE is the key . And it seems that key seems to have been lost many moons ago for
the comfort seeking homosapien race . Just give em a bag of fritos and one of those hypnotic devices glued onto everyones hand .
btw: what is your age ? i will be 74 in a few months . ( i don't believe it !!! )

Clicking - and the knee kind of jamming...
This was with an initial simple tear that the physician at BASEM (BKK Hospital) identified after and MRI and said an Op was not necessary.
A few months later I could hardly walk (after playing football)... Another MRI at Bumrungrad highlighted a complex tear which needed 'trimming' back to prevent further propagation.
Did the BKK doc give you instructions and time needed to get healed before playing football ? Do you find fault with any of the consultations/recommendations which you feel contributed to your worsening condition?

The bike instead of running is well-advised. Made the same change myself and am going to get rid of my old treadmill. Some walking is still good and needed, however. I do a fast walk of about 20 min a few times a week on the beach and then walk up a mere 5 flights of stairs on the way back in.
About a month ago I started using the side stepper machine at the gym for 10 min sessions. Doesn't stress the knees, and it's great for helping your balance. Lazada has home versions:
https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/side-stepper/?q=side stepper&catalog_redirect_tag=true
Danger is that pain or debilitation may stop the exercising. So I hope your working to resolve it helps enough. Doesn't have to be 100%, just manageable and not getting worse. (Consulting orthopedist recommended, of course.) I might also suggest knee supports during exercise that stress the knee, like this:
https://www.lazada.co.th/products/2-aolikes-i314588943.html
https://www.lazada.co.th/products/2-aolikes-i314588943.html
I wear the straps during my interval sessions on the bike and I find them helpful. Keep the kneecaps from wandering around and getting into positions they don't like.
i believe you are one of a small number of poeple that try to find the source of the knee ( and other) problems , and then work at finding what works best to alleviate the pain and regain normality , as much as possible for your condition.
The average "expert" , no matter what credentials they flash, do not lead me to blindly following their "this is what it is, and this is what you must do" .
Note: i have remained quite healthy , with many challenges to tackle, IN SPITE of receiving many varied suggested regimens . Mostly R and P . ( rest and pills !)
Anything resembling getting to the root problem has mostly been ignored or misdiagnosed. ( and i have been to numerous "orthopedics" in the CM area over the years) . The average "consultation" almost always gets a cursory movement of the troubled area, a quick analysis starting with " i think you have ......" , followed by trying to sell me 3 packages of colored pills ( always paracetomin among them ! ), and of course some latest anti-inflamatory drug . "come back if you don't get better " .... Of course, now that i am older .... the standard remark is that we all age and have these "arthritic type pains ) . What they don't know or say is that there are many, many types of arthritis ... and in the case of the knee... a ton of factors that could be involved : https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/common-knee-injuries
Since i look in very good shape, and have strength in my leg ( relative to other old farts) ...... they basically give me a thumbs up and say " take alleve, be careful with diclofenac ( does work for me, but not good for the body ) . blah blah blah times up.
Sure could use a basketball players orthopedist to tell me what the real cause is .. maybe i will start a Go Fund me hahaha
ligaments, bones, meniscus, deterioration, tendons . How to figure out the inner workings as time wears the body down . Diet, exercise, suplements, stretches, and lets not forget standing on our heads and rubbing crystals.
and, a bit of laughter never hurts either.....
btw: i walk a bit, stretch a bit, stationary bike a bit , take magnesium and boron, and collagen ...... don't eat crap , ....
doing the best i can 🙂

What you describes does not sound at all like a torn meniscus. More likely arthritis.
As emwith anything rlse, an accurate diagnosis is essential.
In my experience people's self diagnoses are wring more often than right.
Oh, you are so right ! I also encourage people to get an accurate diagnosis , and encourage people to use their own critical thinking abilities in the process.
Are you taking colagen or any supplements to maintain your own health ?

Not as simple as "just going to land office" and making a usufruct . They can deny it or charge a fee ( percentage of the land value) .....depending on circumstances and/or their "discretion" .
NR .... you really should consult me ...... my fee is exactly the same as the value most people put on my advice 😅
