Buying a condo in Pattaya from deceased man without heirs
Who knows a lawyer in Pattaya who knows a solution to the following problem: There is a condo that has been empty for 5 years from a man who died 5 years ago and has no heirs. What needs to happen to buy that condo?

Objection to rejection of application for Schengen visa: alien lawyer no longer responds
September 2022 we received a message that my Thai partner's Schengen visa application had been rejected. I then contacted a former immigration lawyer who is now a legal adviser. I came across his name several times on Thailandblog and he was the only one mentioned prominently on the Schengeninfo.nl site. I thought there was no need to seek further information.
