Never fear 007 is on the job.

No major car rentals in Surin. You can try Farang Connection and Ryans Resort, maybe yes maybe no. Best advice is to rent in Bangkok and drive over.

I can recommend Bangkok Bank on Thapae Road, at least to get information, in good English. I bank there as did a recently deceased friend of mine, and have needed to go there many times with complicated issues. There is a middle aged female manager, usually in the small office on the right side as you enter who seems to be available to answer the more complicated matters. She is extremely friendly and extremely knowledgeable from my experiences there.

That's the same branch of Bangkok Bank that I have been using for years. Never saw any problems there for opening an account. Another good bank is the SCB just back up Thapae Rd towards Changkline RD. Will open up account on a 30 day visa exempt.

Banks at shopping centers are not full service banks. There are numerous services you will not get at these.and a tourist opening an account is just one of them. All ways go to a normal bank branch in town.

The Bangkok Bank at Kad Suan Kaew is a full service bank.

Ill rephrase this statement Not at a Big C or a Tesco Mall. Yes the ones in KSK and Airport Plaza are full service. I opened my account on a 30 day visa exempt at a Bangkok Bank and used my hotel as the address.

Why do many Farangs miss pronounce Pattaya, many pronounce it Pet- tie-ya or Pay-tay-ya or Pie-tire ya, when it is Pat as in pat the dog, Pat-ta-ya , there is a song anyone can buy at any music shop about Pattaya and it is Pat - ta -ya, , or any Thai person can pronounce it for you, the BBC news this morning got it right with the news about the boat sinking in Pattaya and CNN got it wrong, most Americans do get it wrong.

How many crops per year 1 or 2 ? What size bags?? Our bags holds 100 kilo,at 5 bags per rai for that would be 110 bags. Sorry but plenty of water and nice rice means nothing. Need to know how many kilo per rai and how many crops per year. Some areas get 800 to 1000 kilo per rai while others get only get 300 kilo per rai.

"Politely suggest that you are not involved in anyway what so ever. At least not in any observable way"

I have had my thoughts concerning that. E.g. me driving a truck loading/reloading the food cart/groceries (but besides that doing nothing), would/could that be considered as work and bring me in to any kind of problems with immigration

Actually that would be considered work. Its not immigration you need to worry about it is the Labor Board. If the locals see you as a threat and report you to the police and Labor Board then they will fine you for no work permit which could included deportation by immigration.

As for professionalism,,how long has this establishment been closed ?? Still on their web site.Other Realtors are just as bad

Under Thai law the minimum daily wage is 300 baht.

Never mind the kind of work, plainly and simply 300 hundred baht a working day of eight hours

Of course, being Thailand, not everybody is upholding the law.

Being a farang I would be very careful, do not hire yourself!

I'm pretty sure you will find that the 300baht rule applies only to companies that employ full time a certain amount of persons. If the law was enforced that everybody had to be paid 300 baht whatever the circumstances, then the rice in Thailand would never get harvested.

Even the rice labors are demanding and getting 300 baht per day. You comments on the rice not getting harvest is totally false.

Just checked. Going rate here is 200 baht a day. There must be a labour shortage in your part of the woods.

No woods about us. Still 300 baht and that's Thai to Thai. If you can get them for 200 better hog tie em so they don't escape.

I can't help you with a venue, but just so you know....

.... your "midnight" games will begin at 1 am starting this week.

Daylight savings time in the US ends tonight, so 2am will become 1am.

Thailand will be 12 hours ahead of the US East Coast by kickoff time.

and NO ALCOHOL TODAY. So you know what that means............

Best way is to look for a house self and contact the owner.

One house in my village just went up with 2.5 million just because a real estate agent is on it now.

Ok everybody needs to make money , but 2.5 million for selling a house ?

That's exactly how our house sold. Had it listed on 4 sites. It sold by someone using their common sense and not by a realtor. As for the OP question about CMP, yes had our house listed with them and others. CMP did a very good job of marketing the house. At the end of the day they are no better or worse than the other realtors.

Now if I can only find them.

Not really the law says 11 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to 12 am . All 7-11's nation wide adhere to it, including Big C, Tesco, Makro, Tops, Rimping, etc etc etc...

A one way ticket for tomorrow on AA is 1743 baht vs about 700 baht on NCA.

Here is another... http://koratchef.com/

You do know that it is very easy to order better quality, and better value products, don't you ?

Please elaborate,you don't mean SK do you ?

regards Worgeordie

What is SK ?

Have a look on the Western Food forum.

I buy 3 scotch eggs for 100 Baht and they are (in my opinion, and for my taste - it is always subject) far better than the Yorkies product - or any other provider for that matter.

I buy steak and kidney puddings 70 Baht, same price for S & K pies, minced beef and onion, etc. A large pork pie 70 Baht.

There is a wide range of suppliers - which is great because you try various providers and settle for the taste/price that suits you best.

I have bought from:-

Asia West

Western Wholesale Meats

Tony Kwan in Pattaya

Pattaya Pies

Buriram Pieman

Matvic

Acorn

Staffords

Nookies Delights (for good value items)

KPK

I now see that SK would be Sausage King - I haven't tried their products.
