@Russell ******
some guy mentioned when he wants something done, he pays his maid to sign docs as she is one of the "partners". The other signatory is another aquaintance and these two do not know each other. They draw no salary nor collect profits, only sign docs. The full value of the investment comes from the guy who "owns" 49%. The other partners invest nothing. Only sign for a small fee.

A person on a retirement based visa (or extension) is not allowed to work. Other commenters may advise on the ownership part. Have heard it is better to not have a single partner who owns 51% because then he/she has full control, but that it is better to have at least 2 partners who do not know each other to avoid them from ganging up on you and taking over. Majority is majority.

sorry, not sure how to name this... "sliding gates"? Whatever, don't put your toes near the rollers!

am only glad the locals forgave me for all my transgressions so far, but am well aware my good luck can run out, so I always look and think before I open my mouth (how would *they* proceed if they were in my place"). That's the reason for the old adage, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" 😀

actually, her family will become your family, and the great expectation is that you will be the provider for them all. After all, all farangs are rich, even if they are not.

I forgot to mention the lady co-worker who suffered scrapes on both legs after falling through a rain drainage hole (the metal screen was oxidized and weakened). Danger is just around the corner. We are not in Kansas anymore. 🤣

they call you to your number on file to make sure you are home. If you do not answer, they do not come. Sometimes the seller does not do COD, then I look for another one. I try not to give my credit card number, but then, it is my own paranoia... 🤣

examine the reasons why people marry. Those reasons are extremely different from culture to culture. Not easy to answer on a simple FB post. 🙂
