Surat Thani its extremely slow and many pages not loading fast enough so they time out

"Even Thailand is not that brazen." Obviously you are ignoring all the evidence that has been around for years, in Thailand you can kill a cop, have many witnesses and be found not guilty becase of who your father is, as long as you are a politician, have a rich or well connected family you can do as you please with no recriminations while poor people are jailed for picking mushrooms. You are either totally ignorant or a thai appologist because everyone else in Thailand can see the truth daily and realizes that graft and corruption rule the country.

when we had electricity run to our house along the road we had to get the neighbours permission to run it from the post in front of his house and pay for the 4 poles to our house, one either side of the road it crossed and then one in front of our house and one in the middle of the yard, to go to the new house we alread own the pole from where it will start. Land owners say no because they dont want to pay for anything then after we pay for it they will want to hook up to it without spending a cent, they dont like parting with any money when they can rip others off instead

thanks mate, will update when we get a resolution

here is the map of our land, it is the seedling block that we want the power put onto, you can see the road(dirt) marked, we have been told we need to find out the owners of the other blocks to get their permission, the corner block plus our house have power poles along the road(dirt) they are on so the power would come from them, each block is 20 metres wide our land.bmp

We have built a small house on one of our blocks of land 40 metres away from our own house block, we have had a house number assigned to it and want to have electricity hooked up but have struck a problem. The house is on the opposite side of the road to our house block and there are a couple of blocks of land(on both sides of the road) between the main electricity poles and the house so we will need to have poles run to the front of the house to connect to it. Trouble is the electricity company has told my wife that we are not allowed to have electricity run past any other land without the land holders permission which effectively stop us from getting electricity to the house, I am lost as I cannot fathom how these land owners are able to deny electricity to go past their land leaving the new house with no electricity when the land owners land is not being used at all and is just a jumble of tall weeds etc, does anyone know if this is correct and that these people can stop electricity from going past their land, we will be paying to have it all done so money is not a part of this at all. I have never heard of people being able to deny other people electricity or the electric company not being able to just put up the required posts themselves without anyones permission as they are not going to be on their property, they will be on govt land beside the road

surprise surprise surprise, will be home detention next, this was the plan from the start, he will never spend time in jail especially now pt is in govt, the people of Thailand have been crapped on big time alll for this mans return and for pt to get their snouts back in the trough

forget what I said, we had to get thaksin back and make sure our snouts were in the trough, this is the real reason they did it, they dont give a sh*t about the people as long as their boss is back and they can get back into the corruption to fill their pockets

there is always big problems with no safety signs/lighting on roads during any road work, we have had a few close calls over the years. Biggest one is when they dig up a lane to put pipes etc in, leaving a 2 metre deep hole in the road then do not put up barriers, warning signs or flashing lights so they are hard to see of a night even with lights on high beam so you often dont see the work till you are virtually on top of it although when they do put up flashing lights they are generally stolen fairly quickly. Unfortunately safety issues are often ignored by contractors in Thailand and with poor lighting on roads it just makes it that much more dangerous, road work is done by the cheapest quote so poor materials and safety concerns are always in the mix

hahahahaha, how much to pay a bar girl to play hide the sausage, what a joke seeing she wil be playing with many other sausages while fleecing you, I suppose old farts need to pay young girls to stoke their ego and Thailand is the perfect place for it. There are so many really nice ladies with good paying jobs that want to meet decent men but these idiots lack the ability to associate with anyone other than bar girls because they can be bought very easily without having to do anything other than buy a drink, so pathetic.

nothing new, the ones that give out the positions and the "cake boxes" will always get their way, once again we see the corruption in Thailand fully out in the open, last thing these people want is an honest government that will stop all their graft. The only way it will end is if the people stop voting for the BS parties that are only in it to get their snouts in the trough and vote for the only decent thai political party so they have the seats to win the PMs position

comfortable bed, good shower with hot water, airconditioning, no noise and no smell, room size doesnt really matter as long as the hotel is in an area you want to be in

I do but carry my expired aussie licence with me as well, never had a problem

well unfortunately its their country so they are allowed to make the rules, if you dont like them dont go there, you are aware of these regulations before you go so no sense whinging about them, is the same way alcohol is not allowed in certain countries, just accept it and avoid those countries.

have to wonder how much it cost them to get the votes, many millions passed around I would think but again we see the contempt for thai people with the way pt are cosying up to the parties they said they would never associate with, shows that all they care about is getting their snouts back in the trough and bringing their leader back to Thailand, no regard for their followers at all

wife bought a few of the lazada ones and they didnt last more than a year or so then she got a Sharp EMC 15, brilliant, no problems at all and just keeps going, the cheaper ones do ok at the start but they are not well made(materials used) and they break down if used often

this happened to me last year, the package was marked as delivered but the postman said he could not remember who he delivered it too or where and when we kicked up a storm the head person at the post office made the postman refund the total cost of the item to us. Unfortunately thai postal workerds have a habit of keeping things for themselves or to sell, demand that it be replaced as they are at fault, do not allow them to BS you, I had a friend that had packages sent from Australia to him and the first 3 went missing yet all were signed for, the postman was stealing them, doing the signatures and selling the contents, you have to push them and demand that the postman pays for what they more than likely have stolen, if you are lucky they will suddenly find it. I have also had my replacement visa cards stolen by the postman in the past as well at our other house then the new pin code post was also opened to get the numbers and stuck back down but I had cancelled the cards before they could be used, you have to make sure that they do not get away with it

You only need to apply a primer/undercoat if it is a new or bare wall, to repaint you need to wash down the walls to remove the oxidized surface which is very prevalent in Thailand then apply 2 coats of the new colour. Looking at the pic the paint looks to be in good condition and provided you are not going to change the shade too much 2 coats of a quality exterior paint should be fine but if the colour is very different/lighter a 3rd coat may be needed. Oxidization is the paint breaking down on the surface due to sunlight leaving a powdered surface, this needs to be removed or it will cause the new top coats to start lift as they will not bond to the old surface, any lose or flaking paint needs to be removed and if a bare wall remains this needs to be sealed before applying the top coats. Make sure if you use thai workers they do not water down the paint, even in Australia you could find shonky painters that would add too much water causing the paint to break down a lot faster, good qality paint should give at least 15 to 20 years of life provided you wash down the surface every 3 or so years. I brought all my gear with me when I moved here many years ago so had my metal extension poles, high quality rollers/sleeves and top of the line brushes plus all my drop sheets, being a tradesman I am very fussy.

we had the same problem at Kanom beach last year, was all over the sand and our feet were covered in it when we walked away, was all over the tidal section so we realized that someone had spilled or deliberately dumped a lot of oil at sea

biggest laugh is the law they are using is the 1866 civil rights act that was written to get the kkk, last time this idiot smith tried to use this law and got a conviction in a democrat court all 7 supreme court justices threw out the conviction when it was put before them, here we go again

red shirts showing their ugly heads again, have to wonder if they will start killing, bombing and setting fires once again to please their master, they will just push the army to maintain their current status if they do

jack smith as a laugh at best, he has had several cases he has run overturned because they were absolute rubish, he has been rubbished by the supreme court before trumps add ons, all of them voted against smith even the dem appointments, he has an exceptionally bad name as he uses old laws and tries to widen what they actually mean to attack republicans then has them all overturned,the same will happen here as he is trying to widen what the statute actually means to suit himself, thing is because he only goes after republicans the dems love him even if he doesnt win, all they are trying to do is throw mud at trump before the election, will be interesting to see what happens especially if republicans win the next election then take the doj for partisan charges etc, I can see a few dems facing charges out of all this garbage

here we go again, another 3 ministers in the making, a bit of jail time in Australia would cement them in like the current minister

how fast the poms seem to forget that in 2005 atherton(former captain) had dirt in his pocket to use on the ball to get reverse swing, trescothick was their head ball tamperer as well using mints to effect the swing but again thats fine because it is england, poms are so pathetic, cannot handle losing, poor babies, just dummy spitters because Australia simply did what england invented so their bowlers could get reverse swing or they would have had their ar*es handed to them

if this man loved the country as he claims he would be backing Pita to be the new PM but that would not suit his plans at all, last thing these people want is an honest government.
