    In the decade + that I've been here, that's what I've found and not only with the police, but the army, lawyers, judges and immigration officials.

    ...and then there are the countless numbers that don't dig a hole for themselves through the usual manner, and remain content from the day they set foot.

    Has most to do with connections and perceptions.
    Either you have 'em or ya don't - in varying degrees.

    Well, I'm telling what happened....twice. It may be bollocks to you, but then just about everything about Thailand fits into the bollocks pigeonhole in your world.

    I never said anything about owning land. Property consisting of a house and land can be owned by both husband and wife. The wife (Thai) owns the land as the law dictates, but the husband can own the house. The ownership is recognized and recorded at the land title office.

    There are several remedies available to those who wish to protect their investment in both, but many farangs wander through life here in a kind of fog and don't bother to "waste" time and money on such things. They have apparently convinced themselves that there is no point, because nothing works in Thailand anyway, so why bother.

    These farangs are legion and for some reason they also happen to be the ones that always claim to know the most about Thailand and it's way, laws, culture etc.

    The bizarre thing about his attitude is that they go ahead an do it anyway and then complain relentlessly when things don't work out for them....

    I'm on my third real estate venture now.....so I'm quite familiar with the routine and the rules that govern it, thank you.
    You are talking bollocks here.

    That was no shake down, we were operating with no work permits at the time " 88 "
    so the money we gave, 5000 Baht was nothing.

    All arranged by our Thai partner on Phan-Gan. Actually we never had a problem with the Cops at the time, all was good and only payed that once.

    Different innit.

    you're part of the problem.

    30 years ago it was a small amount of money and all smiles to look the other way. The police got used to easy money and now it's big money and slaps.
