  1. Try Jasmine Homes... check out their website to see their listings, but Steve, the owner, is a British, engineer, who develops 5-10 units at a time and does it from fill to finish. You might find a good match there and you can go see properties he has done in the SanSai area as examples.

    I have not used JH but know 4 people who have and their answer to my question would you use him again? A resounding NO WAY! Was the cry. From fill to finish unfilling the wallet.

    Kensington would be my choice, a lot of the build price will come down to the goods used.

  2. do NOT go to home fitness behind carrefour on the super highway, THE tightest and strangest gym owners i have ever met,

    no changing rooms,

    you can not make any noise when exercising, (even loud exhales are frowned upon)

    the running machines need more warm up than you do,

    and this is the icing on the cake, you get a maximum of 25 minutes on the running machines per person/per day (including the 6 or 7 minutes warm up for machine itself) even when the gym is deserted, whether you want to do 2 sessions a day etc etc

    seriously it was way too odd. I would say that this gym is not for you..

    there is a gym on the 4th floor duang tawan centara hotel, is ok, not very big so gets busy very quickly but can get a lot done if go at the right time, early mornings seem good, opens at 6. parking is in the hotel itself.

    fitness thailand is good, well stocked gym and loads of other classes going on everyday to join in on. fitness thailand very well stocked gym, monthly costs include 3 hours parking below. floor 7-8 behind computer plaza. get busy but then it is MASSIVE so not really a problem. shall be using this one after my current membership exires

    as for cost all about the same, monthly 1-1200 baht a month.

    have not tried any others so can not comment

  3. done the search forum, and found a couple of posts, but none gave a definitive answer if anyone has successfully found a good mask for wearing whilst bicycling in town.

    found the post with the couple of extra-Thailand that do masks, but would ideally like to purchase one here if i can, for spares etc.

    appreciate the 3M shop on the silver road sells the N95 grade masks, but read also that not good whilst exercising due to mask breakdown from sweating and also breathing restrictions.

    tried a couple of bike shops and the do not sell them either.

    :unsure:

  4. Another good bike shop is Jacky Bike, ProBike Dealership Trek etc etc, K Jacky is the owner, not so much English, K Dton speaks english. That Chaitawat Bike Shop would not let me test ride the bike, how can you buy a bike with first test riding? Jacky bike closed 15-21 of this month.

    maps.google.com then enter these coordinates: 18.796143,98.968384

    http://www.probike.co.th/dealers.php lists them all Thailand wide, with address and phone details.

  5. The way I think is if you are never going to leave Thailand then buy Thai gold 96.5 if there is a possibility in the future you may leave and take it with you then buy 99.9 as its more globally accepted than the Thai less pure bars.

    Crossover the Narawat bridge heading to town, opposite the left turn to Chang Klan road, or thereabouts is a dealer www.ausiris.co.th they sell 99.99 Suisse stamped and certified bars.

    They charge a handling fee but its nominal and built into the cost of the bar, check out the site as it quotes buy and sell for the bars. 99.99 can be bought in 10 baht (152.44g) or 1 kg (65.60 baht) bars only, whereas Thai gold can be bought from them in smaller sizes, but you pay higher baht rate.

    FYI

    1 baht = 15.244 g

    1 tr oz = 31.104 g

  6. Went to Loadeds place, so can too confirm they sell it. dam_n.. I paid 22 per foot for 6 foot, was I ripped off?! LoL see tongue in cheek. Well shall be making sling shot next week, so shall be getting some more.

    As for a colonic... I use the bum squirter when water preeusre is high, for that, never ceases to amuse.

  7. Went to the road, went up and down a couple of times, even stopped a few pharmacies but they didn't have a clue. Tried 2 pharma choices and no joy either. So going to go to the source and try a hospital.

    No slingshots for me, got other uses in mindm
