So even with a 1 year retirement visa you must report to immigration every 90 days ? What do you need to bring to renew it ?

I have read the ADSL speed post, bit of a technophobe , can you get broad band in the condos ?

He heheheh.. For his next trick the whores will pay him well done big time well done

Free sex free upgrades. free hotels . you are the man well done I bow to such a stud muffin 55555555555555

Why bring water to the well ?

As stated you dont own the freehold- well done for being honest

I agree the term freeholder means nothing on Los, as an example If a person were to own 10 properties in the UK went to Los married a girl and bought a place there, if they divorvef can the women touch his UK assets.

Well its good you will say no more- You dont own the freehold, as you state you own the buildi ng if its standing if its not you own nothing. You are a leasholder whether you like it or not, to own the freehold you own the land the place is built on. You own the building not the land. A stated you dont own the freehold, if you did you could knock the building down and redevelop you will have a lease for something under 30 years. Live with it http://www.sgalegal.com/guide/condominium.html The link you supplied was from a company which sells beuildings, even you

Please explain how you can own the freehold on a multiplie layer property say ten floors !! YOu can only own a freehold if its bought by all of the leasholders off the landlors, then its a shared freehold If you have a lease period on a place its not freehold fact. Fat Controller you no nothing aboyt freehold or leashold , do not give people advise on a subject you know nothing about. 25 or 30 I have seen, in uk you can get 1000 year leases and 125 , 99 as said infact its between the owner of the Land (the freeholder) and the owner of the building (the leaseholder) Falan

YOu dont even undersstand what a free hold is ! A farang cant own land, that means they cant own the freehold doh.... Yourself

Looks nice, how much are they to buy. Also what is the electric and water costs Thanks

Where are they ?

Thanks I will look for them

That is agood price, where people get stiffed is flying out from 21/22/23 and retruning on the 4/5/6 Jan It can be a 14 day trip using 7 days leave so you always pay 830 + for a direct flight, you get back a day before new years eve but its agreat price. enjoy

I got caught with Eva a whie ago about 6500 baht, I cant remeber how much over the top . Its a nightmare but my fault

Why anyomne would consider flying Al Quada airways to save a few couple of hundred pound is amazing, not flaming why suport these people are you nuts. I would rather stay at home !!

Join the frequent flyers, in Eva you only need about 3 trips to get silver, then you get free entrance the on in Heathrow is far better than the Bkk one, free internet beers spirits fruit wine cheese its good alos you can take 40kg.

I heard the butchers is good on soi Bukaou , can anyone confirm its opposite the shitty purple hotel, Sawashit or something like that.

I plan to reloacte to Pats shortly once I get the money for this house, well how can I learn thai- Are the decent schools , I know pompui chuckwaw and nit noi but I feel i need to widen my vocabulary

I have heard a lot of people like the Op, some guys work hard to get in well paid positions walking away from a fat pay check is hard. Even if he has 217,000 baht in his job and house equity etc he id probably making double more likley 3 times that in UK- Who wants to take a 65% income cut- I would say sort your life out in UK, but if you hate your job go for it

Great post Owen, however flawed he can do his money as he is maybe pull some capital out, if he runs out in 20 he does the dive, no money date of death when money runs out. Succesfull strategy and a winner -

I wont use a cash deposit like that, a pal of mine had a big row with a UK bank.

Owen I have read your very well written responses here and on other boards, whilst you bring financial acumen and reason you are a very cautious sounding guy, by the way that is not a flame. Money cant be taken in a shroud, and life is for living but your financial reality checks are always read with joy. Keep posting them, I would hazard a guess you are wealthy but cautious ! I bet you would like to me a little more reckless ? Cheer Keep posting

This thread makes me wonder, a lot of people even in the west spend more than they earn unless you are of a strong will it would be easy to overspend if you lived in Los. I know one guy who owes in excess of £20k spent In one year 8 trips to Los and money to the telak. Its a great thread but the fact is what you sepnd is up to waht you can affors and your level of addiction to many things, also your financial acumen. So many factors

Expats, Do you have any regrets ? Do you know of anyone who upped sticks and regretted it ? Los seems a great place, but tell us the downside if there are any ?
