Methinks this guy wants to impress us with how much he spent on a 'shed'. This isn't a shed, and in his first posting he didn't mention the list of materials he used. Anyone that doesn't suggest a sum over

฿100 000.- is apparently an idiot. ( I have been building all my life, and not dog kennels). I helped my son in law rebuild his house to a high standard, steel joists, the lot, ฿20 000.- including concrete base... there again, we weren't ashamed of doing the work ourselves and I has assumed that the OP was going to proudly tell us how he did it himself. Strange post in that case.

Hi, misery guts here. It will all get nicked including the electric fence.

Wow, good job mate, nice size aswell.

Good "mancave" I would guesstimate about 100k

100K? Are you serious? If I spent 15K I would wonder what I was doing wrong.

Yes I am, but it depends entirely on the spec, which we dont know and I have made certain assumptions, I have assumed the interior is finished to an adequate standard and it has a concrete base, and finished floor etc. That aspect alone would eat your 15k.

I suppose you would make mine for less too huh ?

We are talking about a shed, not a bijou residence for the refined connoisseur. I must admit that I do all my building myself and that I think I have an idea of what a simple construction like this should cost,

I'm pretty sure that most of the damage occurs during transport, I regularly see beer being transported on the back of unrefrigerated trucks. So the less distance between point of origin and point of consumption the better. A lot of things will happen to that beer at high temperatures, a good beer after brewing should be stored at low temperatures for a month or two, Well worth the wait.

Archa for me, but then I'll drink anything (apart from peewit's pee).

Lovely! Doubtless I will find this sooner or later, after all I was the man that found nails in a shop selling hammers and claiming not to have any nails.

I did find this thread: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/215929-chelated-iron-where-to-buy/

A lot of rubbish has been written above. Nobody can tell you whether you will be happy in a small village or not. I am, that's for sure, but I have a loving wife and a very nice, hard working family around me, TV, internet, and at 66 years I am still building stuff and being busy. It has nothing to do with watching rice grow and talking to chickens, maybe it has something to do with thinking about rice cultivation (we will be buying a rice harvester and storing and selling rice) and thinking about chicken breeding.

Up to you and only you, but I think you know already that you don't want to go. If your wife leaves you behind, then maybe good riddance, but that's none of my business.

All very well until you need a hospital or dentist urgently and it's the rainy season too boot.

Well we don't know how far it is to the next hospital, do we? It would take me 25 minutes tops, probably the same as for many people that live in a town and have to drive across it.

Chelated Iron & Magnesium & Bone meal.

All available.

I finally worked out why my peppers won't grow, experimenting with a foliar fertiliser resulted in a lovely display of yellow leaves. At least they are growing now. We used to use blood meal a long time ago, can I just pour on blood and hope for the best? The soil is typical Isaan clay, although it is now a lot better, and has plenty of humus content. What else can I try?

One reason that beer brewed in London tastes like peewit's pee is that the water is heavily chlorinated . Traditionally the best beers were brewed in areas with good water. Probably no such thing in Thailand .

Archa beer does not give me a headache by the way, Chang beer does .

ha ha. I have the same problem with immigration officials and the police. And I am, or was, English.

So to sum things up, if vegetables in the market don't have insect attacks visible on them, you shouldn't eat them, and if your hotel room doesn't at least have a few friendly ants in the bathroom, you shouldn't stay there. There is a well placed hotel in Chiang Mai that we quite liked but we realised we always got headaches when we went there. My wife thought that she was going to die. New Mitrapap Hotel.

Judging by my experiences in horticulture and agriculture here, there is no way of measuring doses correctly. It took me a month or two to get a small measuring cylinder, I was told that I was being 'Farang fussy'.

You just get stuff like 'little, little' or Farang too skinny, why you use so little'.

Or if a law abiding citizen had a gun they could have blasted him away and only the non law abiding citizen would be dead. Even better. Police only arrive after the crime, think about it.

Hope that I can make it, still in a horrific financial fuba at present .

Dear all, I am just starting a fish farm in Saraburi and would very much like to attend the meeting with you guys. I will be there for the whole package. I would also like to sponsor with two cases of beer. It will be only me coming to the meeting. I will book a room at the resort. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Our little rubbery friend is on Facebook...

I sun dry (well my wife does) mangoes, apples, bananas, add currants and anything else that takes my fancy. Mix with oats and leave in the fridge in milk or yoghurt overnight.. better than porridge and very healthy.

Scare story, using the term 'corpse preserver' is a nice bit of journalism. However I am happy that we have enough home grown vegetables (some stuff won't survive without pesticides, so we don't grow melons, for instance). We only buy fish that we have killed before our eyes, even then there is the worry about pollution in the Gulf of Thailand and the Caesium pollution in the China seas / Pacific.

Anyway, the more vegetables you eat, the healthier you will be, people living in vegetable growing districts, despite pesticide use, tend to be healthier than the average population.

OK.

1. Thai immigration sent me there. The police rang Kap Choeng and said, as I had, that the date stamp for my next visa extension was almost unreadable, which is why I was so late. My fault I know.

2. No we aren't, we are talking about Cambodian visa scams. As in obtaining an O visa in Cambodia.

To go to Phnom Pen for an 'O' visa I first have to pay my overstay. OR, according to this nice policeman, pay ฿2000.- and spend 24 hours in the monkey house. There were in fact already two guys in there, I gave them two warm beers.

3. Yes, he was talking about arresting me, as mentioned above, wasn't he?

Feel better now?

I was told, when I went there because I was on overstay, that if I paid ฿2000.- and spent 24 hours in the monkey house, I could get an 'O' visa and not pat the ฿20 000.- I owed. Now that's a scam I think.

I finished off going to Vientiane instead.

this makes absolutely no sense.I

I cross and have crossed this border many times with my thai car, sometimes i needed a visa sometimes not ( as for awhile i had a year Cambodian visa)

i have never been asked to pay more than $20 for the visa.

We are talking about visa scams, and I was talking about the fact that I was on overstay. The man offered this solution as an alternative to paying ฿20 000.- Why is that nonsense?

Chong Chom,/O'smach south of Surin?

yes , many many times over the past 6 years, its the best border crossing for taking a thai car in ( the other is Koh Kong.
