Thanks for your subtle answer I have never been subtle, I call a spade a spade and not as the Thais like to do, a shovel. I would be sending the whole thing to the Consumer Protection Authority with a copy to the boss of the Or Bor Tor, just so he gets the message he should do his job. I believe I ...

We followed the advice of the Thai family and kept trying the Thai way. They had contacts with about the same level as the Moo Baan guy and we send him off with a 'gift' basket with an expensive whiskey to 'talk'. He came back that it was all fine but still nothing happened. Your first mistake is n...

Legally, here's where you stand, (which your architect should know). Building permits are issued after the plans are submitted to the Mooban Engineer. He is the approving authority, nobody else. As soon as he stamps every page of the plans you pay 180 baht and get the official receipt/permit and the...

Thainees at its best. We laugh and cry at the same time but we now need a strategy to solve this. In my opinion there are two ways to solve this, the first is to engage a lawyer and have him draft a letter to the Consumer Protection Agency (fairly trustworthy), the second is to go and file a Police...

Yeah.. but what should be going it to it? that's the question. I mean... whats absolutely essential? whats desirable? what could be a bonus inclusion? what is not needed? what about penalties? stage payments? etc etc etc ..... I stupidly went with a six month contract, that included stage payments,...

I am in total agreement with Ians, you Bill would make a great fill-in, when and if Dozer does reply.

Would this apply to all secondary buildings as well? For example, living in the country and having your water storage tanks on the property line or small storage buildings, and not set back whatever setback requirements there are. Two meters? The setback of any building is two metres with the roof ...

I am all ears. Any suggestions for what to do next? Why not start a Driving School... think of it as an adventure and community service all rolled into one. :D My wife has just been through the Thai version where the most common phrase is Mai Pen Rai (it doesn't matter) and they pass them with no e...

When trying to send a private e mail all you receive is an SQL error message.

Nothing has loaded all day on three different browsers.

My wife has sent me a picture of the chanote for our land and I want to convert the numbers into dimension so I can make sure the draft house design fits and to play around with the orientation. Despite endless searches I can't find an explanation of how to take the numbers on the chanote and conve...

Well looks my dream has been shattered to live in Thailand. I need some advice about getting a divorce for adultery. I think I would be better doing it in Thailand that's where I got married. All you need for a divorce in Thailand is for both of you to go to the district office where the marriage i...

Here are the different types of title dead for Thailand, as it stands at the moment: http://www.siam-legal.com/realestate/thailand-title-deeds.php I would be very worried, as your lawyer is, about all the missing transfers and where the land originated from. If you look at the back of chanote every ...

Wouldn't it have been far simpler to post that before all the speculation started?

Five days later and .... after all the fussing ... the only post is from someone who didn't complain It took five days to open up a thread so people could read it and comment or not. Some people here, during their building stories, would update two or three times a day with photos and a written exp...
