Re: Litter

[quote="Terry"]Why is it that Thai people have no regard whatsoever for their beautiful countryside. For the same reason that they drive like they do, walk in front of you, do not do small things like hold a door open for somebody, push in front of you at a check out / ticket booth-whateve...

Norm, since my last visit here I have been doing more research on usufruct vs lease and the two main advantages seem to be: 1) a usufruct can be for the life of the usufructary, not limited to 30 years; 2) you have an absolute right to reassign by letting the land to some one else.

Re: Body repair garage

I have a 1986 Mary Quant Mini which I have had from new. About 6 years ago I had a lot of work done on it which cost me a fortune, but it was worth it. The bodywork needs to be done again (due to rust) and also the interior needs to be re-upholstered. I was told that I could ship my car over and ge...

Sarg,

It is based on the value of the lease and calculated by the Land Dept. I do not know the rate, but in my case it worked out to around BHT 30,000

LOL! The French are hardly represented at all here in pattaya, but it could well be they stock it for French restaurants? No clue. I spotted them as the raw flesh is actually black. My eyes then went to the label, and there it was in English and Thai. I don't know if imported or local Thai blackbir...
