@Todd ********

that's correct, using an agent isn't illegal if what they do is legal. I've lost count over the years of how many immigration officers have been busted by the Bangkok bosses.

@Dieter ******

right, you just give it another name. Tea money, service fee Lol.

@Todd ********

hassle free until it isn't as with any illegal activity.

@Dieter ******

yeah, it's called corruption 😀

Did you clear out the fridge?

@Nathan *********

he might be on crack but he is certainly correct about Bitcoin. Over the long term it has only gone up and I expect it will continue to go up.

@Michael *******

yes I am. About 45 km outside of Udon city.

@Chris ********************

yeah same with me. My land is outside a small village in the jungle, so no worries about that, but I have no idea what kind of land this chap is talking about in terms of being in the wilderness or in a built up area.

I actually built my house in Isaan while I was still in Phuket. I did it remotely via video and photos. But there was no way I could have done it without a full set of architectural drawings that went down to the last nut and bolt. That way I could keep track of everything without being there. And it turned out pretty good.

yes I'm sure that's just fine. I just said you can't do anything you want on your land. I was in this business for 15 years in Phuket. And I can assure you that for example if an area is zoned for a maximum height restriction of three floors you cannot build four floors. There are very few restrictions but there are some depending on the area. Planning regulations aren't as restricted as they are in the UK but there are some restrictions, like for instance you're supposed to keep 3m between your boundary and your neighbors. But for all intents and purposes you can put any design you like on your land.
