36 — Contact with Tenants Among Themselves, Passing on Private Tenant Information, Announcements

1. Of course, tenants of the various houses in Baan Sammi are free to contact each other, may it be through direct conversations, contacts via the Internet, visits, invitations, etc.
2. New tenants, whether on long-term or short-term stay, can and should be encouraged to find a convenient opportunity to engage directly with the other tenants, whether it is just a greeting or a personal introduction. There is, of course, no obligation to do this, but perhaps there are expectations on the part of the other tenants. However, all parties involved are expected to respect each other's private space, including private garden space.
3. It may happen that a tenant tries to get information about other tenants through Khun Sam and Khun Dieter. In principle, however, we will not pass on any private data of our tenants to other tenants or third parties. We only allow ourselves to give a tenant's first name (or nickname) to other tenants. Neither telephone numbers nor email addresses are passed on. Only if a tenant expressly and in writing asks Khun Dieter to transmit a private telephone number or a private email address or other address of this tenant to another specific tenant, for whatever reason, will Khun Dieter comply with this request.
4. There is a "Baan Sammi Group" on LINE, a social media application. LINE is available on Android, Apple, and Windows devices (PC, laptop, mobile phone, tablet). "Baan Sammi Group" is open to all Baan Sammi tenants, including Khun Sam and Khun Dieter. For outsiders, including former tenants, this group remains inaccessible. All topics related to Baan Sammi can be addressed and discussed in this group. Examples of such topics are the announcements of the pest control company to spray against termites, of the air-conditioner company to maintain the air-conditioners, of the village major to temporarily disconnect from the main electricity supply by PEA or other village-related announcements, announcements by Khun Sam or Khun Dieter about temporary switching off the internet or any other supply for maintenance, or about the temporary use of noisy devices such as the garden shredder, chain saw or reciprocating saw to cut tree and bamboo stems. Additional personal notification of such announcements is usually not practical, for various reasons, including the fact that such external announcements reach Baan Sammi on short notice.
