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 Thammarat. In principle, however, they will not pass on any private data of Baan Sammi tenants to other tenants or third parties. They only allow themselves 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 Sam or Khun Thammarat 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 they 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 Thammarat. 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 following:
   • Announcements from the pest control company regarding termite control, usually on the outside of all buildings, but sometimes also on interiors;
   • announcements from the air conditioning company regarding the maintenance of the air conditioning systems to enable access to the interiors;
   • announcements of the village major to temporarily disconnect from the main electricity supply by PEA or other village-related announcements;
   • announcements about temporarily switching off the internet or any other supply for maintenance, e.g., village tap water;
   • announcements about the temporary use of noisy devices such as the garden shredder, chainsaw, or reciprocating saw to cut tree and bamboo stems;
   • local storm warnings or other extreme weather events.
   Additional personal notification of such announcements is usually impractical for various reasons, including that external announcements reach Baan Sammi on short notice.

7. If visitors made an appointment and arrived at Baan Sammi: Among other information, these visitors received the link, "Street View of Baan Sammi"
   https://baansammi-mpoint.blogspot.com/2021/02/street-view.html
   which instructs the visitors not only on how to identify Baan Sammi from the public street, but also on how to enter through the main gate and find the owner or staff in the office or the garden.
   Sometimes, visitors don't read the text of this link, so they stand helplessly in front of one of the gates and ring one or more doorbells. If they bother a tenant by ringing the bell, please tell the owner or staff that the visitor is here and ask the visitor to wait..
8. Visitors arriving without any appointment at Baan Sammi, and neither the owner nor the staff are currently available: If visitors ring a tenant's doorbell, the tenant is kindly asked to do the following:
   • Firstly, ask the visitor to supply his/her contact details (name, email, phone number), best written on a sheet of paper, and tell him/her the owner or staff will get in contact with him/her in due course.
   • Secondly, you may forward any of the above links (of Section 5) to the visitor, which enables him/her to contact the owner or staff. Do not let him/her enter the property.
