    Do you live here?

    You speak fluent Thai right?

    Let first respond what a silly question Why?   You not follow up with a comment as to explain so I'm going to assume and speculate. Your remark comes across if I neither I have no right to make such a remark!

    Although, I had visited Thailand in late 70's and 80's other than that there was nothing that would make me stay.  In late 90's, through a family request went looking for a family member in HK, Mainland China, finally we ended up in Northern Thailand in the Triangle.  My family accomplished what the Federal government couldn't do and that was to protect that member from the Colombian Cartel until the matter could be settle when that happen it was time to bring him back. 

    Because of that event it change my life for years I traveled back and forth in 2007, another event cause me to make it permanently my home. 

    Has it been a cake walk paradise far from it although Chinese American born and raise I've never felt so much racism nor prejudice early years I learned the language was asked to be 100% Thai, how many of you white guys been ask to be 100% Thai, adjusting to the culture and food was easy. My 40 years working in the transportation industry regular training with US Transportation Dept countless seminars with the Calif Hwy Patrol,  license and traIning certification for commercial vehicle,  Haz Mat, Surprise,  never in my wildest dream any of it would have so much value here keeping me alive. In Fifteen years I driven throughout Thailand north and south most likely continue for a few more year. 

    As for learning Thai,  reading or writing I know more than I care to know stop years ago as for being Thai, that is the last thing I ever want to be. 

    I've experience things here I would never wish on my worse enemy, in protecting someone I love a moment of kindness in sparing his life I turn only to nearly have my life ended a inch closer the butcher knife would have cut an artery. Two years later the attackers family showed up with the police question me as to the whereabouts of their son the <deleted> audacity police try to intimidate me by taking me to their station thinking I was going to crack as if I've never been in trouble back home in the end lawyers came in from Bangkok for my release a good tongue whipping was given never to be bother again. 

    I've learn as much as I need to learn about this <deleted> hole to get along.  Does it sound like I hate Thai no what I dislike is their government and system I love the people but feel sorry what their leaders have done to them. 

    Does that help in answering your silly question!

    I understand one idea behind it, but this solution has one big disadvantage: The accessability. Fire = quick reaction needed. Now if you have a fire in the kitchen - where it will most probably happen (My Ex-Wife nearly burned down the whole house with overheated oil on the oven while chatting in the livingroom) you need quick access to the extinguisher. Maybe you would not like to leave the house for that first.

    Ex-Wife?  ????

  3. Let me try to get this right? ????

    contract was signed if a dispute occurred it goes to Arbitration 

    ( Language might include case can go to the courts )

    The work was started went on for two years but then it was suspended I didn't read any information as to why. 

    I would think based on information provided the contract was breached why a filing under the old or new ruling didn't happen in a timely manner? 

    Unless more information is provided the Arbitration body made the only decision it could

    The courts stepping in now after all these years is suspicious since Hopewell is HongKong (AKA China).  Then it indicates Hopewell has a period to appeal the award which in this case the time period would be insane to do so. Personally I would bring back the same group who couldn't file on time in the first place. It smells top to bottom reason things are unfinished.

     

  4. My house I custom order PVC,  double pane solid made take care of noise. 

    Take your picture to a window shop PVC see if they can make something very similar and try to get it approve by owner. 

    Also see if they Can use existing frame and replace single with double pane?

    I'm interested in new curtains for my condo with a blackout part as well. I've noticed places are trying to sell automated ones these days, but that seems like asking for trouble when they inevitably break.

     

    So anyway I've tried before visiting random shops and wasn't confident in the communication situation or the products. Yes I want decent quality. 

     

    Can anyone recommend a curtain shop that they've used where the communication was OK and you were satisfied with the quality and service?

     

    Tepprasit seems to be the district for this but any Pattaya area location considered.

    If size are normal in general can't install new hangers and Rods,  Thaiwasadu, Homepro, 

    I felt they have a good selection of blackout than the custom shops less hassle can look freely not having to buy inside shop. Years ago I went the private shop felt they overcharged looking in a book instead of being able to see the final product.  Unless it is a huge sho most don't stock due to funds.

    Absolute tosh & they know it.

    Excessive wait times have been an issue for years.

     

    Last year there was a report that it was 90 seconds… great, if true.

    That was the actual processing time per passport… again great if true !!! 
    it’s closer to 3mins.

     

    So, this 20 second wait time is rubbish. They mean they are targeting a 20 second processing time. 

     

    All pretty irrelevant if they don’t have enough immigration booths open & the problems always exist when immigration don’t tie in their ‘manning’ with flight patterns.

     

    You got that right look at the photo the meeting must be top heavy reason not enough booth opened how many are in charge?

    Brsin dead and tone deaf to actually believe what they are actually selling. ????
