Sean Moran commented : g from Nonthaburi a couple of years back. The bike was fully loaded with rucksacks and stuff, so I wasn't gonna leave my bike on the side of the road to go to the cop shop to fight it. The tea-money cop even gave me back 100 baht change because I didn't have any small notes on me. That's corruption but it was done in such a decent way that it was almost worth the money, although not a good thing to have happen everyday on a tourist-visa teachers' salary. On the other hand, I remember the best traffic cop I ever encountered on the road back from Khorat to Nonthaburi. Somewhere in central Saraburi from memory. Hot day, mid-morning, bike loaded with rucksacks once again, and after confirming that I had the right papers and all, he handed me a fresh water bottle to get a well-needed drink. "Wow!" I thought, and gratefully took a swig and went to pass it back. "No no!" he said. "You." He wanted me to keep the whole bottle of water on the ride back. Another example of saving face, but his gift was intended to save mine, although the fact that I still remember that gesture three years later might add a bit to his too, in some karmic way or other? Perhaps one of the reasons I enjoy the corruption in Thailand is that I can see it straight out, clear as mud. Here in Australia it's done so cleverly that I often don't even know the joke until after the punch-line is over and the fat lady has sung, and it's never very harmonic.

MalibuDan commented : lived in Thailand for over a year now and spent 1.5 million Bhat here. My Thai wife has 500,000 bhats in her I lent to her so she could re-fi her rental house. I put a Honda Jazz in her name to limit my liability in case of an accident. I was going to build a 3 million Bhat home on the Chao Praya River, But it is in her name and she can just snap her fingers and I have to leave the country fast no Packing. Thailand got 1.5 Bhats. And I will only pay peanuts for my rent and food. If I had Ownership of Land I would of spent 5 Million Bhats on my new home and provided all the businesses and people with work. The Smart money will not buy here. I will invest my 5 million in the States and get a return of 50,000 Bhats a month for life. And my investment is secure and I don't lose my money. Just try to sell a used house here. Good Luck!!! Money is not an issue for me, I spend what I want! But I will not buy into Thailand until I have ownership.....

Freedom of Ownership by Owning Boathouse

» Excellent idea my dear Rooster. I once heard of a farang on Koh Samui who built a detachable house - so when the Bangkok big-shots, who owned the land, decided to do that traditonal Thai scam of telling the farang to move off their land, hoping to get...
