What are the rules regarding rental deposits and tenant rights under Thailand's rental law for individual landlords?

Brook ********

The agents probably accept the deposit because it is a payment equal to their commission for the lease (2 months rent).

This may be why some landlords fail to return the deposit- they don’t have the money.

What experiences have others had with obtaining the Non-Immigrant OA visa medical certificate for Thailand?

Brook ********

in my opinion the OA is a terrible option. I agree with

. Come to Thailand and apply for a Non O visa.

There are very few reasons not to choose this over a OA.

Will the retirement visa age requirement in Thailand increase after the changes to the Elite visa?

Brook ********

All Big Joke would have to do is to root out the corrupt immigration agents in Phuket. The ones who permit fake ฿800,000 bank balances.

This would immediately accomplish 3 goals:

1. Reduce corruption

2. Reduce criminal biker gangs, Chinese, etc.

3. Result in a massive bank boost
