Hello strbl2, The reply that was sent informing the draft office that your son wasn't living in Thailand most likely satisfied them at that time. However he's still eligible for military service and is definitely on their list because as ... Read More

Hello strbl2, As I mentioned previously it is a legal requirement to be registered in a house-book, therefore there are lots of negatives from not being registered. Your son seems to have the basics covered (Passport, Driving Licence & Vehicle ... Read More

That would help them to avoid draft selection (unless they were informed on) but it would also stop the person from doing a multitude of everyday things that need a house-book to accomplish, such as own a motor vehicle in their name, apply for a ... Read More

Unless the age criteria for has changed, then a Thai male is eligible for the military service draft until 30 years old, so would have to be 31 years old to be exempt based on age. The names for potential draftees are garnered from the Tebien Baan ... Read More

To be sure of the advice about children with a foreign parent not being drafted, I advise that the poster gets it in writing from the local Amphur's office that stated it, because a verbal assertion won't help his/her son if he gets summoned ... Read More

Taxi won't take me...what is my recourse? by Kaitiaki

I am free to have my opinion, yes that's correct and it is this. You seem to believe that foreigners should just put up with it when they are treated badly. The OP said that he was doubled over in pain. Trying to justify the actions of a taxi ... Read More

It's not complicated. The OP claims that he was in distress and that the taxi driver refused to take him to hospital. That's the side of the story we have, and if that's true then the driver is wrong on many different levels. The trouble ... Read More

Most moral crusaders and social justice warriors that I've encountered weren't Thai, and in case you forgot, it was a foreign person that started this post more or less asking how to punish a taxi driver. I agree that there are always two ... Read More

I lived and worked in the UK for a number of years, and can assure you that your command of written English is better than many native English speakers. Also your use of colloquial dialect and contextual understanding is very impressive. Read More

The driver had no right to refuse, but sadly it's not a rare event. However, I would imagine that the driver's reason was more to do with traffic conditions, than the fear of you vomiting. I don't see taxi drivers refusing to take ... Read More

Mr. Boinker, It is never to late to obtain legal parental responsibility for your biological child, and any advice to the contrary is not based on the realities of family law. A DNA test would likely be required, and a petition filed to the family ... Read More

Mr Boinker, I am very sorry to hear about you marital troubles, it sounds very distressing. I will comment from a legal perspective: 1) Was the marriage registered at the local Amphur (were you legally married)? 2) Is your name on your son's ... Read More

My advice would be to refer to what is written in the Rules & Regulations of your Condominium's Juristic Person. If there is a specific rule that states short term rentals are prohibited, then the rule can be enforced by the ... Read More
Leasing a bar, good idea or not ? by Stephenwatters
In your opinion would it b wise to lease a bar
If you are talking about a beer-bar then your lease will likely involve "key money" to enter into the lease. Then the lease will likely be for 3 years, meaning that you have very little time to re-coup your initial investment. A lease ... Read More
