Pattaya Beach-Life - Which Beaches

in Pattaya Should I visit?

lthough Pattaya has the reputation of a party capital, over the past 5-years, the city has undergone a cleanup of its beaches and are at their cleanest at the current time. Pattaya might not be on the level of Phuket or Krabi in breathtaking beach terms, but in all honesty, not many places in the world are. However, Pattaya has a massive choice of beaches, both commercial and off-the-beaten-track, offering more choice than you could ever imagine.

Commercial and Popular Pattaya Beaches Although finding a tranquil and deserted beach is great for some people, especially Robinson Crusoe, most people enjoy the hustle and bustle of a popular and exciting commercial beach. Think about some of the most visited beaches in the world such as Bondi Beach in Australia, Venice Beach in California and Rio Beach in Brazil, and they are anything but tranquil. Pattaya Beach is the choice for the tourist masses in the city, largely due to its convenient location with lots of bars and shops just over the road, a vast plethora of food vendors and an expansive choice of watersports such as paragliding, jet-skiing and much more. Pattaya Beach is the most visited and popular in the city, but

12 12

PattayaCityUncovered.com

if you seek somewhere just as convenient but less crowded, take a 10-minute drive over to Jomtien Beach, which is also near to bars and restaurants as well, but is a much more laidback and user-friendly affair. Off the Beaten-Track Pattaya Beaches Although to find the most hidden and off-thebeaten-track beaches in Pattaya, you probably need to take a drive outside the city, Wongamat Beach at Naklua is just a 5-minute drive away in North Pattaya and offers a peaceful experience, surrounded by some of the most high-end condo developments and restaurants in the city, while offering a tranquil experience. If you are looking for a beach that enjoys a similar atmosphere to those in Phuket, we would suggest you visit Bangsaray Beach, which is a 25-minute drive outside the city towards Rayong. This beach really is beautiful, and is also flanked by some of the finest beachfront seafood restaurants in the region. This is an area that merges that tropical brilliance with lots of nearby amenities to create a great experience. Another tranquil stretch of sand is the Thai Navy Beach at Sattahip, which is also near Bangsaray. The Thai Navy take care of this beach so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in prime condition, although you will need your passport to enter, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to bring it along.

BANKRUPTCY By: Magna Carta Law Office

ankruptcy is a legal proceeding involving a person or business that is unable to repay outstanding debts. Under Thai law, bankruptcy is an involuntary act whereby the law causes the assets of a debtor to be distributed among its creditors to repay a portion of outstanding debt.

Any creditor owed more than 1 Million Baht by an individual debtor or more than 2 Million Baht by a corporate debtor may file a bankruptcy action against such debtor. However, the debtor must first be proven insolvent. It shall be presumed that the debtor is insolvent if any of the following proceedings occur:

According to the Bankruptcy Act of Thailand, the creditor may set up a bankruptcy charge against the debtor only when:

(1) If the debtor transfers property or rights in the management of his property to others for the benefit of all his creditors whether such be done within or outside Thailand;

1) The debtor is insolvent;. 2) The debtor, who is a natural person is indebted to one of several plaintiff creditors amounting to not less than 50,000 Baht, or the debtor, who is a juristic person, is indebted to one or several plaintiff creditors amounting to not less than 500,000 Baht; 3) The said debts may be determined in a definite amount, irrespective of whether it becomes due for payment immediately or at a future date.

(2) If the debtor transfers his assets with dishonest intent or fraud, whether such be done within or outside Thailand; (3) If the debtor transfers his property or creates any right over such property which, if the debtor were a bankrupt, would be deemed an act of preference, whether such act be done within or outside Thailand; (4) If the debtor does any of the following things in order to avoid or delay payment of his debt: a. Leaves or remains outside Thailand; b. Leaves the premises in which he has resided, or conceals himself in any premises, or absconds, or closes his place of business; c. Removes assets out of the jurisdiction of the Court; d. Consents to a judgment ordering the payment of money which he should not pay; (5) If the debtor has had his property attached under a writ of execution, or there is no property of any kind capable of attachment for the payment of the debt;

A Secured Creditor may set up a bankruptcy charge against the debtor only when:

(6) If the debtor informs any of his creditor, or the court in any action that he cannot pay his debts;

1) He is not the person prohibited from the enforcement for the payment of debts from the debtorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets in excess of that placed as a security, and

(7) If the debtor submits a proposal for the composition of his debts to any two or more of his creditors;

2) It is stated in the complaint that if the debtor becomes bankrupt, he is willing to forgo the security for the benefits of all creditors, or make an appraisal of the security in the complaint which, after deduction of the obligation due to him is still insufficient, for the debtor who is a natural person in the amount not less than 50,000 Baht or for the debtor who is a juristic person in the amount not less than 500,000 Baht. Secured Creditor means the creditor holding rights over the property of the debtor in the nature of a mortgage, pledge or right of retention, or a creditor possessing preferential rights which can be enforced in the nature of a pledge. Secured creditors have the most senior protection in bankruptcy, since they have specific assets that provides a sufficient level of reassurance against default risks. Secured creditors generally have the right to repossess or foreclose on the property when the borrower is in default.

PattayaCityUncovered.com

If the debtor receives demands from his creditor to (8) pay his debt not less than twice, at intervals of not less than thirty days, and does not pay the debt. An individual who is adjudged to be bankrupt shall be immediately discharged from bankruptcy after the lapse of 3 years from the date of adjudication by the court. However, if such a person has had a previous bankruptcy within 5 years, the automatic discharge period will be extended to 5 years. In cases of dishonest bankrupts, the court may extend the period to 10 years, except in cases of special conditions on the request filed by the Official Receiver or the bankrupt person. In cases of offense on misappropriation or cheating on borrowings from the public, the automatic discharge period is extended to 10 years.
