Re: Building permission rights

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 ...

Re: Building permission rights

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'.

Re: Building permission rights

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...

Re: Building permission rights

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...

Re: Distance of roof from boundary

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 ...

Re: Tired of Building in Bangkok

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...

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...
