Yes.

Each property has its own blue book

Each property has its own channotte

The owners name will only appear in ONE blue book where HE is registered. Not all of them

The owners name should appear on all the channottes.

It seems the OP problems with visa are that the officials want to see the owners name in the Blue book of the property he is renting. But if he has many properties it could be true what he is saying to the tenant about not having his name in that property book - There ARE reasons his name might not appear on that property blue book.

Foreigners names cannot appear in a Bluebook, only a yellow book….. but unlike bangkok, most foreign owners in Phuket are given bluebooks only and their name doesn’t appear🤷‍♂️. Whereas it is more common for a foreigner to have a yellow book with his name in it in bangkok.

You can own many properties but as the owner your name can only be on one of them - where the owner is living/registered.

I have been told this by many people including a lawyer.

If you are a foreigner then you can have a yellow book instead of a blue book but can only be registered at one property.

So i am told.

If you have many properties then the blue book will only have your name in one (even for thai)

But you can have your name in one, your wife on another and your kids on others etc etc)

That said, blue book, channote and letter from your landlord with a lease/contract agreement should suffice.

It does in Phuket as i have done this.

As always you are the mercy of embassies, immigration and bureaucrats that make their own interpretation of actual laws and rules. 🤷‍♂️

this is absolutely true, and why for some time now the Thaias with their Thai ID can use the “we travel together” program and enjoy the same hotels I go to for 40% less…. This enables and encourages domestic travel for the Thais.

As a foreigner, I go monthly to the same local area hotels with my family and look for which hotels will give me the best deal (none of which are as good as the Thais 40% discount!) But this is based on the competitive, standard, hotel controlled prices which are controlled and set by the hotels personal needs to attract business.. I accept that…. And I accept that the Thais get a better deal…. But it should be for the hotel to decide based on their needs and for then government to encourage or support their nationals. This idea, whilst based on some logic, as you say, is seen as an obvious, possibly xenophobic, attempt to simply increase prices aimed solely at foreign tourists and will simply deter many more people than it will encourage!! That in itself is crazy!

Where I can get good value and discounts I go EVERY month to many 5 star hotels with my family…. If they force an increase in those hotels I simply won’t go as much… end result will be I spend the same available spare money but frequent less hotels less frequently.

End result is the same money spent but less hotels benefitting…

The hotels are right to push back on this idea and try to retain discount and special offer control themselves. 🤷‍♂️
