  1. So much laughter from individuals that have a problem with keeping there underwear clean not about supervising a builder that has far more knowledge than the foreign client who thinks he knows about Thailand construction. Mostly I have heard from individuals that make statements like oh, we don't do foundations like that at home. Every country has built up knowledge on how to build foundations which is probably the most important aspect on home construction.
  2. That's as good as you could inspect Concrete reinforcing sizes, thickness of steel used on roofing are just two examples of knowledge most do not have. That is where the Thai builder will save on if you have no knowledge.
  3. If you have had no experience with construction you will make matters worse You need experience in Thai construction methods before you can have any hope of supervising a house construction in Thailand.
  4. Could well see when the bottom of the market has been reached
  5. Sellers in Thailand are expected to show good faith when property is involved. If the seller has not mentioned the plans of a change on a flight path that hardly shows good faith. Worth asking a property lawyer I think. No large cost to find out your legal position
  6. Yes, I have noticed that. Before I was accused of a few misdemeaners in an arrogant manner. Thankfully all quiet on the western front now.
  7. Most people do not drink to become intoxicated as you seem to imply. Many individuals drink alcohol for being social and meeting others. A few drink alcohol for the wrong reasons and end up as you describe in your post. Moderation is the key to life hic
  8. Yes, that is why the immigration department want to check on your continued qualification every 90 days.
  9. Switzerlands neutrality has always been questionable since dealing with gold looted by the Nazis' This gunmen may of felt need to be armed while in Thailand
  10. I have paid for items COD a few times and given me a lot of problems to get the item sent back and have to wait a long time for the money to be returned . Checking the item before payment is a step in the right direction in my opinion. If all is in order with the product the extra time for the delivery will be hardly noticible. I ordered a submersible pump COD with Shopee and the delivery man invited me to open the package to check the goods , all was ok and then paid by scanning . Done in less than a minute
  11. How many people know of Mr Thanabodins method of securing money in his yellow cloth bag?
  12. In the 90 ties there were drug gangs from Denmark and Sweden and due to cooperation between the Nordic and Thai police they were taken out of existence. Perhaps it's you that needs to keep up.
  13. I will ask the honda garage for a price to change the cog. Thank you for your help
  14. I am from a country that can see when a person is acting strangely. Then we try and determine why. Often we find that the person has taken a substance that is causing the person to act strangely. I have read of many situations like this in Thailand recently since drugs became more available on the streets. It is no laughing matter to be honest with you
  15. Thank you for your reply. Was it a major job to replace? I have a 160 click and was thinking to change the pump if the cost is reasonable. But from what you are showing me it is only needed to change the cog.
  16. Denmark has a lower crime rate than many European countries. I am sure that would correspond with Danish tourists visiting Thailand.
  17. Since you are discussing the 160 ADV i would like to ask if any other ADV owners have had a problem with the oil pump ? The engine was refitted on our ADV after an oil pump failure . Total cost was around 6000 baht paid for by Honda
  18. We have the 160 click and the 160 ADV at home and I can assure you the ADV is a far better ride . I far prefer the click for maneuverability in the city traffic .
  19. I have been looking for a pressure pump and gauge for some time, thank you. I asked my Thai motorcycle mechanic to check the tyre pressure and he pressed the top of the tyre with his thumb and nodded his approval.
  20. I do think that is a distinct possibility . The last two years has seen many similar bizarre situations
  21. This story is just a sneeze in a teacup.
  22. I beg to differ. The majority of the city was not affected by flooding. I travelled from San Sai to Chiang Mai every day without problems apart from heavy traffic along the super highway.
  23. Keep left or you will end up the same as the unfortunate motorcycle rider.
  24. It would be helpful for these men in this article if you could explain how you will be able to NEVER rely on someone else for your RETIREMENT when you are old and can not do much for your self anymore? If you are refering to the British Government as filth of the highest kind , then I believe you have missed the point entirly.
  25. I took a plane Joe and have worked hard for 10 years while remaining in Thailand. People have to start being responsible about what legacy they leave after they are gone from this world. That does not mean how much money you leave , it means how you use the worlds resources. Flying around the world for little or no reason does not help. Thanks for your reply Joe
