I moved out the end of August. The place was arranged by an agency, so I guess they will file some lawsuit or something on my behalf. Is there anything I can do to have more teeth? I had remembered someone saying before I could tell her I am going to file a complaint with such and such agency because most property owners don't pay their taxes and notifying such and such agency would put a squeeze on her to give me my money back.
I want to name and shame but the defamation law here could bite me. Maybe when I leave the country I will before I relocate.
A rich girl who mommy and daddy gave a property to rent out. She is horrible with money and wrote us a threatening letter after we paid the first months rent. We paid it on time according to the date written in the contract and had to show her.......a real idiot. In our last month there she constantly sent potential new buyers to our place without any notice. These things are a bit off topic, but add to the anger of her overall behavior.......
Anyways, if you have been in this situation or know what to do please share.......please 130,000 baht is a lot of money. ???? It was a nice apartment arranged by my wife's employer.

Not sure what you mean with that.
I always get bashed when I tell that I take my passport on domestic trips that include overnight/hotel/flight.
But indeed, after enforcing passport at banks it would be a new level that yo need pp for domestic flights.
I worked at a government school and each year with my WP I would get a government ID with the name of my school on it. I kept my last 2 from 2 and 3 years ago.

I was unaware farangs had to provide a passport to travel within Thailand but evidently this is the law now. I made the trip from BKK to the Sura Thani islands countless times the last 7 years and many times I used a driver's license from abroad or presented a Thai government ID no problem.
That special time of the year came when I had to give my passport to employer to renew work permit. Yesterday, the woman in my department who took it on Monday did not show to work and today. This morning (Saturday) BKK Airways would not let me on.
I showed every ID I have including expired Thai government IDs and was rejected. This hurts as I usually fly Air Asia budget style to SuraThani or Nakon Is Thammarat then do the bus ferry dance. Of course the time I try to treat myself with BKK Airways (which is much more expensive but quicker as it goes direct to Koh Samui then youre near the ferry to Full Moon island or Murder island) I get screwed.
The only thing their e ticket vaguely says is "A picture identification shall be produced"..........no mention of passport.
Anyways, just a heads up as I haven't seen anything about this on the internet except a post fro Udon.......
Happy travels

Happy holidays and what better way to start the new year than to ask a question about a new Non Imm B visa. I am quite familiar with the rule that once you quit or end a contract you got 24 hours to skedaddle (or pay 1900B for a one week extortion). not a typo
The school I taught with (and still technically on paper/contract) is on winter break and I am on very good terms with management. I informed the head of the school before we went on winter break (Dec 19) that I would not be coming back to teach when the term begins the second week of January.
They told me I was a good boy and good employee so HR didn't need to know right away. Delaying a Change Wattana date until I tell them "officially" then the loathsome HR/farang correspondent and I can make the trip to cancel my papers which would therefore set me scrambling out of the country (or paying a one week extension of stay).....COULD THIS BE AVOIDED?
Ethically, I worked part-time at another university(not my WP/Non ImmB sponsor) who were in need of emergency replacement.......ethically, meaning both employers knew what I was doing.
This uni (which should hold clout as it's seen as the number 1 if not 2 top public uni) will be starting school very soon. However, they don't want my one year contract to start until February 1. Other factor is I just came back today after going to Europe for Christmas and did not opt for the 90 day extension so now I am on 30 day extension.......didn't want to bother with paying the money or risking missing time to catch the flight which happened when I went to India last summer.......
If anyone has experienced switching from one job to another ie Non Imm B to Non Imm B without having to leave the country to get a new one (in my past it's always a trip to Vientianne).
Would be great to hear your story or if you're in the know and can drop some advice that'd be much appreciated!
Thanks a million,
Mangy
PS. Not trying to say I deserve special treatment but I am blessed enough to get a job at what most would say is the number 1 public university.........do you think this could grease the wheels?
Happy 2020

How do you pay using reliablerxpharmacy? There's no prompt when I try to go to the websites checkout for paying by card...........

Got the 30 day extension first on a Friday at Chang Wattana. Went to the US Embassy the next Tuesday (must book on website, Monday was full when I tried to book the Thursday night before I got 30day extension) and applied for the new passport. Right then and there they punched two holes in it and gave it to me there.
New procedure as of July 2018 is that you get your new pp mailed to you within 2 weeks (I got mine in the mail 11 days later-live in PhayaThai district). Along with the passport comes a letter from the embassy stating it is a new passport and for immigration to please cooperate in transferring visas, entry stamps, yada yada.
I went to immigration with new and old passport and embassy letter. One copy of new and old pp biodata, one copy of 30 day renewal from old pp. Took about an hour and 20minutes at CW but would have taken about an hour and ten minutes if this beautiful girl from Laos in front of me didn't have such beautiful eye make-up. The immigration officer in my line was so impressed that she asked the woman if she could do her make-up. She stopped working at her desk and brought the Laosy girl to the back of her cubicle where she proceeded to put on eyeliner, eye shadow for ten minutes then she returned to work. The Laosy girl got her pp back before me even though I saw the same official 15 minutes earlier ????

Thanks all......I still have one year and ten months before expiration and I had extra pages put in 5 years ago (a practice they have stopped doing now according to website) you could only get extra pages put in once.
Got the 30 day extension today and will Renew passport next week. I will have to get a document from the embassy stating that the extension is in my old passport and show the old passport.......I got the information that it would be punched from the embassy website and since July 2018 all passport renewal are to be received by mail......no more picking it up at the embassy. They have an onsite post office where you must provide an address and it will be mailed to you. The whole process takes about 2 weeks.......

Hello anyone who would be kind enough to advise.......
Will CW immigration stamp a “punched “ passport....? I know I can’t travel with it.....
October 5 my 30 day runs out. I got a new job and they want to give me a 30 day extension (which I told exists even though I thought I could only get 7.....)
There is enough room for the extension stamp but will they do it on a punched passport?
can I get the passport renewal process started and get my extension at the same time? Or should I wait get the extension first then apply for pp renewal?
There’s one space left to get the extension but not enough for all the non b shenanigans of going to Laos exitting Thailand then entering Laos then vice versa as well as the non b stamp.

***all smiles in LOS.....
Got it back! I did mention a visit to el amphur and the Tax office but I sent it via WhatsAp and it only had one light tick mark which means she cancelled her account or blocked me but didn't get the message I suppose which is a good thing I guess. Then I sent an email again mentioning the Consumer Protection Department. We never emailed and it was given to me by a tenant who went through a few month ordeal to get their deposit back. The email was never answered back.
She did friend me on the app line a few weeks ago and I had forgotten which is a good thing because she would have received some mildly threatening messages (the same one I sent to her What'sAp). Message apps suck.
Then on the agreed date I was told it would be deposited by check. Of course it was a 4 day weekend so I wasn't sure if I was getting a bunch of lip service.
In the end it's just best to have the ole "cold heart". It wasn't in my account Friday and I thought about hounding her throughout the weekend but that would have been a bit douchey considering the holiday and circumstances best to just let her relax with family and if she is telling me the truth I will get it Tuesday and if not I would have hounded her and went to the El Amphur and all that.
Ok, so that's the 6th time I rented in BKK and probably the 12th time in Thailand and I have never had a major problem.
If you're looking in Ari Do not rent from "100 year old" Park from an agent whose name implies "happiness" in English but I assure you you'll find no joy renting from this place.
Thanks for all the advice!

Also I showed her a paper that had all the nec. info with regards to tax and revenue dept.I calmly explained to her
Thank you DKNY77, may I ask where you got this paper? Just print off the internet?
Also, may I ask what the TM 30 receipt is? I am not sure if this person goes by the book.....this is Ari....
Strange landlady, another tenant that I knew went a month late without paying and they didn't really come after him he just paid double one month.
I usually pay rent 2-4 days early because thats when I get paid but my last month before this happened I was like 3 weeks late on rent and they never said anything.
Ex girlfriend, snooped through medicine cabinet and a whole packet of cough drops fell into the toilet and she flushed it which clogged the toilet. The condo building repairmen were never much help. I explained what happened and they insisted on using a plunger something I had already done and knew they had to probably remove the toilet from the foundation which they did. Anyways, fair enough a dumb move on the girl and I figured I would pay but they never charged me for it.
She just seems to be a flake with the money or has so much coming from other sources that she doesn't care to track expenses and the property manager is her little minion. She's old and probably goes to the beauty salon 2-3 times a week to desperately hold on to her already faded youth. All white powdered up, heavy on the eyelashes, nicely manicured and polished nails. She has probably used my money on cosmetics and I will never get it back :-(
Anyways, I've rented many times in Thailand and that was my 5th time renting in Bangkok (I rented 5-6 times in the south) and never had problems. I may have got mildly swindled for damages and repairs and torn shower curtains but I get at least 80-90% back. Just by coincidence I think 3 of the now 6 that I have rented from had lived and gone to university in the USA and have been to the city I am from. One of them had a sister who lives in Omaha Nebraska.....anyways, this new land lord seems to have lived in the US and is very kind and welcoming even gave me a papaya when I moved in. So guess if you rent enough you will run into it. Managed almost 5 full years without a problem so find a place stick to it as long as you can (which is what I was trying to do).
Ok, I guess I am going to press on with reporting to the Consumer Protection Department and possibly request the TM-30.....thanks for the advice! She did tell me it would process on December 9 about 2 weeks ago so we'll see. It's strange, again I have already moved out 3 1/2 weeks ago but we never met to exchange keys and last week I went into the apartment and no one has looked at it and since I live in the neighborhood I pop in and out of there every couple days and I ran into the property manager on the street a few blocks away and we acknowledge each other with a wei ...........

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! Thank you AdiP and Andre47 as well as others for sharing. Minnehaha, I want my money back I already know I am right but realize it will never change the way they will continue to do this. Yeah, should coulda wouda with the new lease. It was just one of those things where the first month I kind of lost my temper with them because of the move in cleaning fee and it took nearly a month to get wifi put in. Three weeks into the new apartment without wifi which coincided with the first 2 weeks of school (stressful and need internet) I voiced my displeasure. Didn't "lose it" stated everything with a smile, albeit, with a tone of disbelief. So two months before the lease was up it was a simple verbal agreement over the phone and not recorded. With her working for multiple landlords and locations across BKK and me having my own schedule we never met up. I tried not to feel uneasy and just actually trust them, have a little faith, "mai bpen rai", she would get here one day in two month and we would sign the new one but in the months leading up to it I was actually not in the apartment when the changing of the lease would have occurred........anyways, lesson learned. I do have the deposit receipt and the contract which I foolishly retro signed.
I think I will go to the ole juristic office in the lobby and start asking them questions about these tax papers she needs to file. I have already made it clear to the juristic people that these people owe me money. Now, I will find a way to ask him questions about this and I am sure he will turn around real quickly and let this deplorable woman know that I was inquiring about filing paperwork with this department.
I may have made the mistake of writing a bit of a threat but I did tell the prop manager that this has caused me a lot of unnecessary stress and financial problems. I told her it was not her fault and that I did not blame her. I knew she was acting on behalf of her employer. I put on a crown of thorns and told her as a teacher I deserved the right to enjoy my holiday time off and that I should not have to lose a week of it waiting for my money. I then made it clear that since school is out for 5 weeks I had plenty of free time to let other people know about her and Ms. X unethical behaviour via social media and other outlets where farangs look for rentals....................................................TO BE CONTINUED

I am having a hard time getting my deposit back from my landlord (45,000B). The month before my agreement was up I asked the property manager if I could renew the lease. She told me it was no problem and that she would make a new contract. Three months go by and she asks me to meet her to sign the old contract (the person is really flakey). I meet her assuming I will sign a new contract as well. I sign the old one and then she tells me the land lady wants me out in 2 weeks because she has decided to knock out my wall.
I was really upset since I had no time to look for an apartment as the uni I teach at is quite a commute and I was finishing the last weeks of the semester. I told her that she couldn't just expect me out in 2 weeks that it is kind of unexpected and unrealistic. Her solution was to move me upstairs into another unit for more money. The unit was bigger without a kitchen and the property manager said she would ask the land lady to rent it for $18,000 (I was paying 17,200 for my original). I really didn't want to deal with apartment hunting so I said I would look at the unit. I met the land lady and prop manager. We got off to a bad start when the land lady told me she would rent it to me for $20,000 a month. That is when I made the mistake of trying to logically sum up the situation (1) you are kicking me out with 2 weeks notice and (2) you're trying to make me pay 3,000 more. They acted like they were doing me a favor and tried throwing in meaningless concessions like an iron for my clothes and that she would by me a hot plate and lower the price to $19,000. I said absolutely not and I think they're missing the point.
The prop manager contacted another prop manager to find a place for me and I have since relocated and had to fork over 51,000Baht for the new deposit which has really screwed my school break holiday because I haven't gotten my deposit back from the place that booted me.
Anyways, two other people in my building had to fight tooth and nail to get there money months later. These are the same people who charged me $1,000 baht for move in cleaning that done so poorly they didn't dust and merely swept debris to the corners of the room.
What about naming and shaming via social networking, etc? Can I name these people here?.........Be careful when renting in the Ari area is what I will leave it at for now.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

She simply says that she doesn't have the money.
