What do they mean by 'container?'

 

Seems rather doubtful it would be 10,000 shipping containers. Or...

10,000 containers worth 5 billion baht. 500,000 baht per container. At that price I guess they mean shipping containers.

Santa Claus mythology comes from old shamanic tradition in Finland - Ural region. Santa Claus represents the red and white Amanita muscaria mushroom. It is collected in summer and dried to be used in a shamanic tradition in the darkest time of the year. The gifts one receives are made of light and wisdom. You might even see Santa's elves at their work but its not toys they're making.

I've never been turned down by a car rental office. First time I got here in 2007 I rented a manual pick-up for couple months with european student ID. Since then I've rented from several offices with an expired european driving lisence, they always noticed and mentioned it but never a problem. At least 3/4 of Phuket drivers are unskilled or recless drivers... + all the drunken drivers

When the meter booth lady gives the flat price for my destination I always tell her I'm going with meter and jump in, no problems. Always cheaper than the fixed price too. The last two times I tried to get a meter I only found a queue and no sign of taxis. They were actually telling people the wait is 1 hour or so, so back to the illegal taxis

As long as they promise not to lose any of my socks I don't see what the problem is.

+1.

Had full 3 pairs just two days ago. Now its 1 pair, 2 odds and 2 missing

Reminds me of british tourists abroad under influence.

I think many times they choose to use the calculator when the customer is a farang, so they can just show the number in the calc instead of trying to say the numbers in farang lingo.

Oh, right, the OP was talking about calculating the change and not the price.

Olsen, Looking forward to any info related to this quote. I was looking at the area for a 3/4 day hol and quite sold on Prasarnsook Resort....until I saw this post!

btw, We (wife and I) need a/c. Beach, Bungalow type...and one complication...a really well behaved house dog.

Today I went to check Prasarnsook Resort but they only had small and smelly rooms for 550b, the other option was to pay 2000b/night. Where do I find something decent in Sichon area for ~1000b/night for a week or two?

I need:

- Clean room

- Internet for working

I don't need:

- Hot water

- Air condition

Sorry I did not post recently.

I agree some of the smaller rooms in the rear is very simple and sometimes they smell. They´re used for backpackers and Thai tourists on a low budget.

At this price range I would rather recommend the neighbor just next to Prasarnsook, the name is Krua Poi Beach Resort. They have also cheap rooms with aircon from 500 THB/night.

If Wuffe was quoted 2,000 THB per night for the bigger bungalows near the beach, then it was probably just because he did not try to negotiate the price.

They always asks for a higher price than they expect the guest to pay. Quite normale in Sichon to negotiate the prices.

We usually pay 1,000 THB/night....but when there is many guests we sometimes have to pay 1,200 to 1,500 THB/night....but quite nice rooms and good food at the restaurant.

I went back today to ask for 1-2 month prices and this time the rate per night was 1,400 for room up the hill and 1,800 near the beach. I asked for an offer for the 1,800b room and best they could do was 36,000/month. I asked at Khao Ply Dam aswell but they said the don't do discounts for long stays so it's the price per night (700b-1,800b) no matter how long you stay. Surely you can negotiate the prices down a bit but for that money I'd rather rent a pool villa than a standard room in a resort.

The beach at Khao Ply Dam is very nice, clean and quiet. Hin Ngam beach where Prasansook is, is quite dirty right now after the floods an all. They are slowly cleaning it but what bothers me the most is how much glass there is and I saw a Burmese guy today cleaning the rocky Prasansook end of the beach and he smashed all the glass bottles in the rocks (so he didn't have to carry them back to the trash bin??).

Both resorts are nice and relaxed and the staff is friendly, unfortunately their prices for long stays aren't.

just a note, i tried all these settings and none worlked.

i called TOT and the new outgoing mail server(SMTP)

is : smtp.totisp.net

cheers.

thanks!

I ordered mine in Phuket yesterday. Black 5-Door sport with delivery in October. All they wanted was a 2,000b deposit and the guy even said I'd get it back if I change my mind and it's ok to change color too as i was 60/40 between black and orange. To me the orange looked great in brochures but in the showroom it didn't have the shine I was expecting, maybe it looks better out in sunshine.

On Ford papers it says "1st class insurance Viriyah" 19,700b. Do you recommend taking insurance from them or is expensive?

EDIT: First post after 3 years of lurking!
