johnnysunshine Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I hope they real eyes some day that the really dangerous drugs are in pharmacies. That would be an easy arrest! Eliminating those poisons would also help the sick and the poor assist in getting off those drugs and to discover natural remedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet!! I have read though that there are plans to allow the growing of up to 9 plants per family. If that beats the yabba epidemic, sounds good to me. Chance for a village co operative?!?!

At least USA looks after the interests of their fellow citizens, which is more than I can say for the rest of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Amity_and_Economic_Relations_(Thailand–United_States) I would be surprised if more than 15% of American citizens could point to Thailand on a map. It would be a miniscule percentage of the USA's citizens who would be remotely interested in buying land or setting up a business in Thailand I suspect that this treaty was signed with view to making trade easier between the 2 nations rather than a magnanimous show of love and support for her citizens.

Probably one of the most difficult and expensive ways for an american to start a business here. So many believe they only have to show their passport and Thailand will hand over land papers and let them start a business for next to nothing.

But really this whole story is pathetic. Or rather the fuss being made over a bit of weed. My Thai girlfriend told me there is now or soon to be areas available for foreigners to buy land. Didn't really pay attention because I'm not interested in buying land there. As far as beening a big deal over a little weed, it's still illegal in Thailand. Would you say stealing a item worth a dime is any less a crime then something worth $100? Stealing is stealing breaking the law is breaking the law. If you don't like the current law run for office and change it or move to Canada where you can grow 4 plants for personal use. I'm not attempting to start a fight, I'm just making a case for why I think the world is heading in the wrong direction. Have a awesome day and be well.

Grow your dope on some other buggers land, so they get busted. 555 Anyway, if farang cannot own Thai land, why are they even involving him? Especially when the neighbour admitted to it already. And If the land is in the name of his wife or GF, then the neighbour should have asked permission from her, being the real owner. In any case, legally, shouldnt the real Thai owner of the land take the wrap, if the land is in their name? I can now see a possible Thaivisa detective scenario happening here... The Farangs wife invites her Thai bf/hubby to stay, while the farang is away in his own country.. Thai bf grows some dope on the land.... They get busted.... NO no no..its the farangs fault. 5555 good one! Get real dude, didn't you watch the news? It was reported they were a gay couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an American treaty company that is 100% US shareholders. It does not allow you to own land. Only BOI companies can be given that right under limited circumstances.

Realitively easy for me to setup. 50k cost is very cheap considering I don't have to use nominee or Thai partner and I own 100%. I have had it for almost 20 years.

My post is aimed at the standard bar stool sitter who tells everyone he can own his own company because he has a US passport, and knows very little about what is actually involved.

I was surprised that they are issued a Thai birth certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
