i understand. Maybe it is time to let it all go and start again. I scour fb car classified in Thailand and there certainly is some crazy builds there that would be fun too. I was at first worried there might not be a fan base for car mods there, but after minimal research, there is some crafty builders there! They are nuts too. 700hp diesels bolted to a piece of plywood on the water with zero safety equipment. Then watching tuktuk and rice harvester racing. 😂😂😂 I will get along just fine.

@Jon *****

someone else very breifly touched on it in this post. There is a program of based on investment in Thai businesses i believe that can allow you to own on some level is what i took from what was said. I do not know the specifics, and I believe it is new.

Maybe I misinterpreted? Maybe it was explained wrong? That is why I am looking for the correct legal info.

@Christopher ******

thanks for the info. Ya, I had heard about the volunteering and needing some type of permit also. I am just used to having constructive hobbies take up my time so have to find where that balance is.

Ya, the revenue. Lol. As long as it would atleast be somewhat relative to afford food and shelter, that's fine. Right now, I am one of the only stainless steel railing manufacturers and installers on the West Coast and primarily work on hotels and high end residences. It is funny that ss railing is rare here, but more of a standard there. I may be able to swing a deal upon selling the biz to require that I be the supplier of standard sized posts purchased in bulk. Lots of ideas, but am I allowed to do it?

I am an A type personality that must stay productive and generating something of value. Maybe I just take up painting and give them away. Is that legal? 😄

While drinking beer all day does sound good on paper, I just can't do it everyday. Haha

@Mike ******

no, I am just outside of Portland Oregon. There appears to be a Consulate in Portland.

@Kool ******

thank you. I do have some things that would be worth it, just need to know the tax rates.

I will be back in a couple months and will have a sit down with Siam Legal with a well prepared list of questions.

@David *****

yup. I am starting with the whole enchilada of wants first. Lol. If risk gets to high then that part will get eliminated. At the end of the day it may just end up being me getting a condo by the beach and bounce around on a little 100cc scooter like everyone else. 😆

@Lee **********

yes, and my question was centered around the best avenue to seek the most reliable information.

@Baz ********

thanks. Will look into it.

@Eric *****

if as a man I can't legally freeball in Thailand, all bets are off!! I'd be looking at 20 year sentence already as a repeat offender! 😂

@Eric *****

thanks. Amazingly the Embassy website here has tons of info. Will take a few hours to read it all. Hopefully it will answer many questions. Then refer to lawyer for further clarification or "real world " practices. I have heard having your shirt off in public is actually illegal as is not wearing underwear. 😂😂😂 So ya, some laws just not enforced.
