Again...madness is defined by many perspectives. I generally wonder if you folks have the ability to think clear.

I think this makes it fairly clear and pits paid to the points made by your Mrs . . . plus, don't they live anywhere to have their own tambien baan, surely they would be better off that way?

And . . . all four of them?

As I said they're all registered in their childhood house, brother #2 is the only one still living there. He's getting married in April and moving out. So they'll all have to find a new place to live.

This is a convoluted, inefficient, hopeless system of tracking people for the primary purposes of a convoluted, corrupt voting mechanism.

I'm just following Thai law. If they don't live with me, they shouldn't be on our tabian baan.

So what's the update Texxy?

The four 'boys' have now moved their mattresses into the spare bedroom, living room, den and kitchen.

If that's the case they, our potential "visitors" can get foked. Visitors at our discretion, ok. Legal right to stay, no way.

But you pwomised.

Is this when crowded anxiety sets in...?? He best be prepared for the worst.

No change. She said she'd drop the idea. There was never any discussion of anyone moving in.

If all the Isaan people that work in Bangkok were allowed to register that they are living in Bangkok then they could vote here. They can't allow that to happen!

Maybe it's a kharma thing

Not too sure, but I'm positive that Eurocentrism is.

My wife has just realized that I am not on the house registration. I was for the old place but she forgot to do it.

They are now telling her I must take my passport to the US embassy and have them notarize that is really my passport!! Then have the whole thing translated to Thai by the ministry of foreign affairs and more.

This sounds lik bullshit anybody have any tips for an old fart?

Tabien Baan is a bit of the usual quagmire.
Technically an alien is not allowed to add his name to a blue Tabien Baan but some offices will do it..

Aliens should get a yellow book and the paperwork needed will, of course, depend on which officer you speak to. I got mine without any translations and notarizing rubbish.

Bottom line is
If you don't like the answer you get then ask someone else until you get the answer you want.

I really had no trouble getting my own house book, only holdup was for the villaghe head man to go down to the Amphur to verify that I had lived in the village and thats all there really was to it.

But last year when I rented a place in CM, the landlady went down to the amphur to have my book changed and they did put me in her blue book.
Then when I came back home, she had to go down and take me out and now I have my yellow book back.
Just no telling what they will do in any situation.

Thanks guys, The best advice is what I thought. Keep asking until you get the right answer.

Nailed it.

Then have the whole thing translated to Thai by the ministry of foreign affairs and more.

...... depending on where you live it could be lots more.

to get my yellow tabien baan the local tessabaan wanted my parents names written in thai, and then the translation confirmed by the foreign ministry.

the tessabaan noticed that those translations differed by one letter from the translations on the title deed for the property, negotiations resulted in them giving me the yellow book, but they told me that when i sold the property there would be problems because the thai translations of my parents names were different, and that in effect i had two sets of parents.

they advised a visit to the land office to get the translation changed on the title deed so that it matched the notarised and ministry verified translation.

trembling with the thought of the possible problems,delays and hoop jumping i might encounter at the land office i eventually went down there but amazingly it was all done in 2 minutes and didnt cost a penny.

with all the shite going on at the moment about falang ownership of properties, land office and tessabaan officials (at least round here in hua hin ) seem to be checking and double checking everything.

the only benefit i can see of having a yellow book is that i wont need to go to immigration or my embassy for any more proof of residence documentation.

Don't know about the amphoe where you live, but in Sawang Daen Din they told my wife and me that I cannot be on her ta bien baan, as a farang spouse. Our half-Thai adult children can, but I cannot be. Guess a legal-beagle will have to advise you on this one.

That is correct.
The rules are that an alien cannot be aded to a blue Tabien Baan
You can get your own yellow one though
