    » Nothing much to say here is there, i think that IAN has told us all there is to know and believe me.......... .he's right.

    • Anonymous commented : 23 The case is different, the new world continents are common heritage to all . buying property in the americas or australia is a legitimate unspoken right to any who can pay . though the payment is done to the illigitimate owners. those in the mericas and Australia (in africa too), had looted the land by force and intrigue, that, in no way, make them legitimate owners however you would justify it. let us look for a legal way to put things into lawful concept. how long can this bluff goes on .?!!!

    • Anonymous commented : lth just as they did with the new world continents.

    • Anonymous commented : ey in Thailand. According to new law encouraged by Thaksin and TRT, you would entitle to own 1 qcre of land.

The embassy said that the 32.3-rai compound, purchased in 1922, was larger than needed. It said the land sold was the most polluted and noisiest part of the compound, next to the six-lane Phloen Chit Road and the BTS skytrain. The War Memorial and statue of Queen Victoria would be moved to appropriate sites near the residence, officials said.

    • Vet commented : to use this money to build a new house in Thailand on my mom's family land. In Bangkok, majority of home owners are similar to their western counterparts. The banks are the true owners of these houses. Only few wealthy people will pay cash for their homes. There are few lucky Thais who will inherit property from their families. If you are happened to inherit a house that is about 30 years old or more, you might as well mowing it down and build a new house on the land. Yes, my parents mowed their 40 years old house down before they built a new house over the old house since the neighbors' houses are about one meter above normal ground. In my opinion, I think it is cheaper to sign a thirty years contract and keep my money in the SET/loaning it out than buying to own. The lease contract can be resell to other people if I wish to move somewhere else. Majority of people will make money for resell of lease contract.[/quote:17id7xdc] Rooster, hi. I have been following your discussion and frankly it's a little difficult to stop myself laughing at the innacurate and jingoistic statements you have been making. I have been in the real estate business in Thailand and much of what you say is just not right. For a start, you defend your owning property in the US by saying that you "don't really own the property because the bank does". Please, that is so laughable it's not funny. The fact is you [i:17id7xdc]can[/i:17id7xdc] own property in the US. If you had the cash to buy outright you would own the property. So your statement is hardly convincing, is it? As for Farung owning property in Thailand and your statements trying to convince us why we should not, that is just pure racism and misplaced nationalism. The fact is, foreigners are flocking here and using the very laws designed to stop them owning to actually control their investment. As a result, Thailand is making a fortune from forcing us to set up multiple companies, include Thais in the companies, and then pay all the taxes and other fees. Is this fair? No. Does it work? NO. The laws are as porous as toilet paper. Any competent lawyer knows how to circumvent them. The only thing the law does is paint Thailand as a racist and very unfair country in the eyes of the world. Of course, this probably doesn't bother you...but what I find offensive is that you and your fellow countrymen (Thaksin included) are allowed to go to our countries and buy as much land and as many houses as you like AND OWN THEM OUTRIGHT FREE AND CLEAR. Can any farung do that in Thailand? Of course not. So please Rooster, get your facts straight and stop trying to defend the indefensible. I see others on this forum have tried to reason with you, but I cannot see any bending on your part. You continue to sit up and crow about the Thai's right to keep out foreigners. Sorry. That doesn't wash.

    • Sean Moran commented : he friendship that I already knew would be realist, although it was those thirty seconds that sealed it. I might start a new thread on it in June, because that might coincide more closely with its fourth anniversary, but you must remember this, Pappy (or whatewvcer your name is): The jik-jok is never a scaredy cat.

    • Hejsan commented : hbours' have lost land to the new kingdom. The talk of ethnically Chinese Thai citizens being in cahoots and determined to keep their wealth is interesting. We all know that Thailand is incredibly racially aware, and such groupings may actually exist. Certainly this issue was also in focus during the PAD demonstrations and blockade of Suvarnabhumi as well. I shall follow this forum with renewed interest after reading the many thought provoking posts here. As for the property issue, it has kept me from establishing a permanent residence in thailand, but I do find the Thai people charming in spite of the tendencies to discriminate against foreigners, rich and poor, western and eastern alike. We all know how Burmese and Cambodians are treated in Thailand. By comparison, we are rather lucky...

    • leejoek commented : come up with the money for a new lease. Indeed, foreigners can buy condominiums designated for foreigners.

Therefore, if her visa expires she will not be alowed re-entry or if she is based in the UK will become illegal. How you go about getting divorced without her co-operation is another issue.
