Thanks for the nice comments, chaps. But it is only an English-style pub, serving Thai and western food, due to open November 1st.

I use Ubon Rak; they also saved my wife. Rajavej is ok for minor things, but for example does not have MRI or neuro-surgeons.

Can someone point me in the right direction as I have some farm land on a river in Det and I am not sure what its worth? I need a valuation on it. It is Chanote title and a little over 10 rai - on river and so plenty of free water. Someone is growing on it now but they have no agreement. I have pics and map. Or someone suggest to me how to get it valued

thanks

 

 

 

If you ask at the local Amphur office, they have land valuations. They use them when calculating what tax you pay when land is bought/sold, instead of using the actual declared selling price.

Two goat farms in your area Phibunmike. However, one would have to buy the goats and slaughter them at one's house. Both farms only breed the goats to an age of 4-6 moths and sell on to other farmers to fatten up for slaughter or for further breeding. 

 

Thanks for the info, Michael. I don't feel inclined to do the slaughtering and butchering myself, so will continue my search for other sources!

Good beef in Tops. I am also looking for goat, I think there is a goat farm near me (Warin), I will advise if I locate it.

Mine's a two story house so a roof overhang doesn't work for shade.  Talking of cavity walls, every wall in the house both upstairs and down are double skin.  Not quite sure how that happened but it does mean there are no visible pillars.

Mine is also two storey; the downstairs is not very visible in the photo because of vegetation.

There are some in Ubon if you get desperate.

Thank you so much guys for all your tips and hints, I think my main issues were about tying the blocks into the colums which my Thai wife said doesn't happen too much, her parents house has major cracks in the corners where it hasn't been tied in, I do understand that you will have settling cracks no problem but looks like I'll just have to insist on colums ties during the build, also with the cavity wall, I'm trying to keep the heat out, I don't mind going overkill on the insulation if it will def work, another quick question, has anyone ever used block and beem for the sub floor? Is it cheaper than a solid concrete floor as my wife wants the house raised a few mts of the ground

 

Have not used that style. There are two main type of floor, one is fill with sand/earth and pour a slab on top, The other, which sounds like what you want, is long slabs laid on top of the footing-beam-thingys. These slabs are a bit flexible, so they support them with Eucalyptus during construction. On top of the beams they then lay wire-mesh and pour concrete, another 5cm or thereabouts.

I think "cracks in the corners" are not a concern, because the footings and columns are all tied together with re-enforced concrete beams (sorry I don't know all the technical jargon), so the whole building moves as one. You get hairline cracks in the rendering because the concrete is not usually allowed to cure properly, but these are cosmetic only. T think the tendency here is to over-engineer, so no real concerns over strength.

DoHome have them in a DIY uPVC. Price is cheap but come in a fixed ready made size. Not a problem to chase out the walls to get it to fit. They also do a double sliding door security grill to match. I bought both along with replacing all my wooden windows. No problems if you are DIY competant.

Also ready made ones available in Global House etc.

and Yongkit is here....

Yongkit Aluminium in Ubon (very roughly opposite Do Home). Speak to Boom, he speaks fluent English. His mobile number is 0880967378.

I bought a Samsung Tab Active2 from Amazon, was delivered in a week. (It is a ruggedised model which is not available in Samsung shops in Thailand).

I tried to use mine for flights, they prefer a Thai driving licence. Banks want your passport. It did work at Pha Taem though ?

Upstairs in Robinson in Central, and top floor at Sunee (in the book shop) are two places I know that sell machines in Ubon.

Our boy goes to "The Kids and Ban Dek Academy" in Warin. Also in Warin is "Ubon Kids". There are several other places around, we see them when there are inter-academy matches. UMT have an academy, I have seen them play at Tung Burapha. Good luck.

Sang Saree Farm supplies in Warin. On the main Warin-Det Udom road about 1.5 km from the Warin-Phibun-Det Udom intersection in Warin. On the left hand side coming out of Warin. 

Agreed.

I see you haven't had any replies yet. I from Ubon and don't know Udon much, but Quik-Fire BBQs do very nice stainless steel work; not sure if they would be able to help you or recommend someone.

If I remember correctly, the steel patterned and coloured roof, with bonded insulation (e.g. Santhai ??) costs about 100-200 baht per square metre. Installation extra. Cost further depends on whether you will replace the existing (steel?) supporting structure.

And you lost me with the hippopotamus ???

A rather large young Sioux lady was sitting on a hippopotamus skin. Two slim young Sioux ladies were sitting on a buffalo skin and a reindeer skin, respectively. Which proves that "the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides".
