MEDIA: a must-check list before deciding on home ownership

For many, home ownership is one of life’s major milestones, signifying success, stability and independence. Yet, while a home is considered one of life’s necessities, actually buying one is rarely straightforward.

Whether it’s a condo unit or townhouse in the city, or a new build suburban property that reflects the buyer’s own unique vision and style, home ownership requires legally binding contracts and negotiations and a willingness to make one of life’s biggest financial commitments.

So, how do you improve your decision-making and reduce risk when making a property purchase? How do you safeguard your investment and avoid unforeseen issues that may be costly or complicated to resolve later on? How do you make the home ownership process as smooth and secure as possible? What are the need-to-knows before buying?

MEDIA: investment fraud red flags and how to spot them

Investment fraud is becoming more frequent and much more difficult to spot. Scammers today are using everyday search engines and social media platforms, plus channels like private chat groups and instant messaging apps, to promote fake opportunities. AI and other advanced technologies using sophisticated software and complex algorithms are now available, providing scammers with new ways to target people and trick consumers and investors. Fraud detection and prevention is suddenly much tougher.

Typical scams include hidden businesses disguised as direct sales, people posing as celebrities to solicit funds, websites imitating real investment platforms (which look totally indistinguishable from the real thing), and highly enticing tailored ad campaigns promising big returns with little to no risk. Types of investment vary and might involve crypto, gemstones, precious metals, property, shares or funds, or even collectibles like art, classic cars/watches, or fine wine.

So, how do you protect yourself against these new threats? What signs should you look for to spot these scams? How do you avoid falling victim to investment fraud and other such white collar crimes? What is the fraud triangle?

MEDIA: how to terminate employment fairly and avoid legal issues

The reasons for terminating employment can vary, from the closure of a business, e.g. when the economy is difficult and operations are unsustainable, to issues related to employees themselves.

Termination should ideally include a notice period, allowing both parties time to prepare. In some cases, it is necessary for the termination to be effective immediately. Employers must know the proper protocols, while employees should keep informed to protect their rights and ensure fair treatment.

So, how do you enable a smooth and fair termination process? For employers, what costs need to be covered? Is severance pay mandatory in all cases? How do you manage the risks of legal disputes? For employees, was the termination fair? What if there’s no employment contract? Is immediate termination without notice legal? How do you claim severance pay from your employer? What about government compensation?

MEDIA: key takeaways about “quiet firing” and employee rights

“Quiet firing” is a subtle, often silent, form of constructive discharge/dismissal, which is when an employee is compelled to leave their job because of a hostile work environment or because of intolerable work conditions created by their employer.

The practice involves demoralising employees enough so they decide to quit voluntarily. The work environment is made so challenging or unfulfilling that the employee begins to question their own worth and feels they don’t have a future with the company.

Quiet firing can be difficult to identify and prove, but signs to look out for include: being intentionally isolated or frozen out; being excluded from activities, such as meetings you once attended; being marginalised or quietly sidelined; unexpectedly having your duties or responsibilities changed, or hours reduced; being assigned less challenging tasks, or very demanding tasks and being set up to fail; having achievements overlooked; being passed over for opportunities, or demoted without justification; and having support gradually withdrawn and getting minimal or no feedback.

Some companies seek to avoid the negative consequences associated with formal termination and utilise quiet firing as a matter of routine. Often the reason is to avoid paying severance, but it may also be to escape other legal liabilities, to maintain a good business reputation (superficially, at least), or even just to create space for new hires or clear those deemed “not the right fit.”

So, what action can employees take when faced with this situation? How do you counter the threat of quiet firing? How do you prove constructive dismissal? If you’re worried about being laid off without compensation, what should you do?

MEDIA: things to consider before nationwide wage increase takes effect

The Thai government’s decision to increase the daily minimum wage rate in the country to THB 400 has been getting significant attention. While many advocate for higher wages to support workers, others are concerned about the overall impact on the economy.

Some analysts believe that businesses will simply pass on the additional labour costs to consumers, driving up the price of goods and services, limiting consumer spending, and potentially leading to higher inflation. Other analysts say that businesses will have no choice but to announce layoffs and redundancies.

As the law moves closer to implementation, it is important for both employers and employees to understand the broader economic consequences and their rights under this new policy.

MEDIA: Thailand to lift foreign condo ownership cap & extend lease terms

Home ownership is a dream for many Thai people. Yet, the number of mortgage applications being denied is rising steadily. The Thai government has announced stimulus measures to boost local people’s purchasing power but also to attract additional foreign investment into the country’s real estate sector. These measures include proposals to increase foreign ownership quotas for condominiums from 49% to 75% and extend land leasehold terms from 30-50 years to 99 years.

Concerns are being raised by local people about already soaring property prices and the impact on housing markets of foreigners using condos as buy-to-let investments.

But what form will the government’s proposed regulations actually take? How will the changes affect housing markets? How likely is it that homes will become unaffordable for local people? Are their concerns regarding foreign investment justified? What other regulations can be introduced to mitigate any adverse effects?

MEDIA: all you need to know before agreeing to become a creditor

In an economic downturn, one thing lots of people may have to face is borrowing money from friends or acquaintances. The loan may be interest-free, without collateral, or even without any loan documents. Because personal relationships can make it difficult to discuss these matters, the creditor may end up being the one who suffers instead if the debt is defaulted.

In this episode of the popular evening TV programme Home Economy hosted by veteran news anchor, reporter and journalist Dr Wit Sittivaekin, IAS Advisory co-founder Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul shares everything you need to know before agreeing to become a creditor, including all the do’s and don’ts and should’s and shouldn’ts.

MEDIA: what can freelance workers do to protect their rights and interests?

In 2023, from 39.22 million employed people in Thailand, as many as 52.19% or 20.46 million were self-employed. This was an increase from the previous year and the number of people freelancing is likely to continue to grow.

Yet, freelance workers often face difficulties such as slave contracts, delays in payment, unreasonable work modifications, or even not clearly stating remuneration due to the employer’s concerns. So, what do you need to know to protect yourself and protect your rights?
