I'm driving from Samui to Ranong to stamp out next week. One day up and the next day back. I have a comfortable Toyota Hilux and can take up to 3 people who are willing to share expenses. You'll also benefit from my knowledge of the area, as I lived in Ranong for 2 years and know the scenic route and the good places to stay, eat, and bathe in the hot springs.

Send me a PM with your phone number if interested.

I need to go next week, but have already booked with Easy Way now. Posting only a few days before is a bit late notice for most people. Shame, as I would have loved to have done it your way instead of being crammed in a mini van all day.

Trop, sound great, Ive got to try Angela's one of these days.

Im looking for a new place, from 1st November, for mid to long term.

Requirements:

- furnished

- wi-fi

- air-con (only needed in bedroom)

- sensible rate for electric

- Chaweng

Budget, up to 10,000 THB/month

Please PM me with any details.

Thanks

Ian

Does anyone have any recommendations for me? I need to move between 1st-13th November. There's a beer in it for anyone who can point me in a successful direction

What time is the England football game on? I assume you'll be staying open late for it?

yeah this is ridiculous. unless they build some serious flood defence walls, this is a complete no-starter.

saying that, IF they did the necessary defence, Im sure it'd be a nice place to life.....so close to the fun of Soi Reggae!

This thread is going to be fun. Need some popcorn and a beer.

Hello sailor! A gentle poof in the distance you say?

The noticeboards in Tesco, Big C sometimes contain ads re 2nd hand bikes being sold privately.

HTH

Is it possible to find offers in English there?

yes

The place mentioned above, just through the lights at Bophut, are VERY VERY VERY expensive. Basically, they dont want a farang with cash to go in there and buy a bike. They charge stupid prices and want Thai's, with little or no money, who have no other choice, to go in there and buy a bike on finance at exorbitant prices. Be warned!

Does anyone know where the travelling Thai Market is at the moment? The one that travels around for about a week at a time in each spot, often at the temples?

I know last week it was on the land opposite the Family Mart on the corner, half way between the traffic lights of the main road and the Tourism College, but Ive been told its moved on again.

I saw one today - setting up on the ring road between Big C and Bophut. On the same side as the fresh market near TOT. I don't know if it is the one that you are looking for.

Thats the one, thanks Trop. Its just next to the permanent market, opposite Soi Sunday. Never seen it there before.

I popped up there earlier on today, about 5pm, but it wasnt open yet. Not sure if they are still setting up and its not open until tomorrow, or I was just too early today.

So, Dr T, for a quick check up, clean, and polish, how much are we talking about?.......assuming no other work?

share share share

I've always found Budget to be good for short term rentals. But I suppose it all depends on what type of car you need though. I am normally renting a pickup with carryboy back and no-one comes close to Budget for just 1 or 2 days, for both availability and price.

15k per month for a Vios is a good price from such a reputable company.

Khanom is very nice with good beaches and lots of waterfalls.

We stayed there a couple of times.

much life there, ie much to do in the evening, like bars, restaurants?

He came to my house a couple of days ago. Showed me his ID and said he was from the Royal Thai Army Police or something similar. Starting talking about the bombs in Hat Yai and needing to pay 4000 THB for replacement limbs for bomb victims, or 2000 THB for oxygen tanks. I soon sent him on is way.

All the food is great value at Cassidy's. So many places want to charge silly money for a breakfast or a Sunday roast - its great to see Cassidy's keep the prices where they should be. Others should take note!

Premier Bar is a good bet. The boss there is a big Man City fan.

Opposite Thai International Hospital, they fill cartridges & repair printers.

Inkworld.

try the bloke opp Maenam post office.

Do you guys know if these 2 places fix laptops, or are they just printer people?

Just heard a loud boom, and the electricity went off. I guess a transformer blew. :-( Ghost road just off Bangrak.

it was very loud.....must have been to wake me up

I promise to try harder and drink less (maybe)

Sod that. Its better the drink harder and think less

tee ni wave bar?

Does anyone have any interest in a border run on Thursday 16th? Either a 1 day trip or an overnight stay in Hat Yai? I need to go myself so am looking for sharers.

Just about all the houses there are for sale/rent.

Any idea what sort of prices they go for? (rental and sales?)
