UKJASE

hua hin is ready - it has been rammed all week since last weekend's 4 day holiday...... not with farang, but with those thai people from their capital i am sure it can cope with a few more people if it needs to

i completed the application and then when it came to delivery / collection options, the only one that was allowed was "Collect in Person"...... the other 2 were greyed out, and as i dont live in bangkok, pick up was not really convenient did anyone manage to get the delivery by post option to work?

we built ours in hua hin about 6 years ago at a cost of 12k / m2. nice finish too, with good euro kitchen and plenty marble counter tops etc. big euro PVC windows, boontavorn floor tiles, cpac concrete roof tiles, jotun paint, large bath tub etc etc plans drawn up by an architect from the orbitor was only 7,000 baht (we were quoted 150k from a farang architect!!) labour was 4,000 baht per m/2, paid in small installments - all the materials we resourced ourselves. a few headaches, but overall a very rewarding experience - plus the house still looks great

they give me 50 GB free

that's either a really big bakery, or the staff were giving covid to the customers

windscribe is a great VPN - that is free

what are good torrent sites these days? i used piratebay, lime and torrentfunk last night for the first time in ages, and all three were full of ads and deceptive links. A lot worse than the last time i used them any recommendations pls?

i would imagine it is two shots of recognised vaccine isnt it? any other vaccines you have had, would be irrelevant (i guess)

are many places selling beers over in patts? here in hua hin there are a fair few places we can go, but still quite low key definitely seems that the powers that be are easing up a bit on being so strict on beer sales

khao takiab, hua hin - visitors allowed, swimming pool open, restaurant open...... temp check on way in (voluntary)

i read yesterday that over 90% of people had been vaxxed in hua hin (first dose) is that correct?!

oh yea, remember that STV are 9 months now, so you have plenty of time if you cant / dont want to swap to ed visa

i am sure my school has not been issuing new ed visas for a long time now, as they were not allowed maybe it would be good to contact a couple more schools and see if they are able to issue visas. if they all tell you they can issue them now, then you could be pretty sure that they are available again it wont be great if the koh samui school apply for you and then you get knocked back

if someone asks to borrow money just reply you dont have any. end of request surely that is easier than avoiding talking to people for a lifetime!!

kind of strange that most people on this thread seem to be wary of talking face to face with strangers, but are quite happy to spend hours on this message board talking to strangers

best to call the hotel you have in mind and ask what is their procedure

i dont think the photos used here were from this weekend....... the night market is barely open

you sound like a good bloke OP - maybe you can appeal to her decent side and ask her if she wants you to take care of the daughter she may realise you can give the daughter a good life, and that you will allow mother access whenever she wants it - video calls, visits etc i hope you work it out mate

i think my first shot is in a computer system somewhere because i had the vax in bangkok, then a few weeks later my Mor Prom queue number in hua hin came up, and they emailed me to say that it was my turn in the queue, but i could not get the vaccine as they were aware i had already had first shot in BKK It is nice to know they have some sort of central computer system going on

they used to sell diet pills (for dancing all night) at the full moon parties on KPG a good few years ago i bet there is a few pharmacies around who did not get the memo regarding them being made illegal, and could sell you some like others say tho - i am not sure it is the best way to lose weight

i always wondered why so many arrested people here would then implicate their accomplices into the crime too i guess a lot of these confessions are achieved under duress

facebook / shoppee

OP here..... sorry guys - i had to remove the email address as the BCC said they were getting too many requests they said they will work their way through the current waiting list and then open up again for new applicants

Myself, and my thai girlfriend, and several friends, have all been vaccinated at the BCC facility at Bangrak Hospital in Bangkok They say the AZ vaccine is available to all nationalities, and all ages. If anyone else is in bangkok, or anybody willing to travel there (they will issue travel documents allowing you to travel to the capital) wants the vaccine, then email this lady and ask her for the form. She usually arranges a vaccination date within the week or receiving your message i think. The second shot will be arranged for 12 weeks later <email address removed at recipient's request> PS It's free

good work crossy. an interesting subject that i feel i should learn more about.......... we live in hua hin (often sunny), have a 4 bedroom villa with no trees around (so plenty of sun falls onto the roof) and have an average electric bill of 2000 / month (we dont use AC much). We are connected to the grid through a 3 phase system, that feeds our small moo baan. which system would be best for us and how much would it cost? how many years of usage do you think it would take before we recouped our initial investment? do systems go wrong much, and therefore need a lot of fixing? we have had some cheap solar lights in the garden for a year or two and i have been impressed with their reliability and power great topic mate - and thanks in advance if you can offer any guidance
