As I said I tried locally which included Global, Homepro and thaiwatsadu. and a few mom & pop builders merchant type shops.

None of them had anything other than standard.

Hey Guys - anyone out there know where I can get longer drill bits ?

I specifically need a 4mm wood bit that is longer than the usual 50mm.

Ideally 100mm length. No luck locally, Lazada had some in China but that was all I could find.

Online purchase in Thailand if possible I dont want to wait weeks buying overseas.

Thanks

Heard the price is 900 baht one way!

As stated previously, its 1999 each direction BUT if you book as return the return leg is 999 making 2998 as the total round trip fare.( quoted by SP on the phone)

I paid 500 baht from the city to Don Muang today and it took 30 mins with expressway.

Krabi airport to Aonang is 600 and its 30 mins

Hardly treble the price

You must have been either ripped off or stuck in traffic but that was your experience, not mine.

Dollar

Why are the prices so damn high from Krabi Airport ? 

Half the distance and nearly treble the price compared to Bangkok Taxi ?? 

Or is this just typical for the Krabi Airport ?

Ok here is the latest 1999 baht is operated by SPlogistics see pics for contact details. 

If you return same day ticket 999 so some day total 2998 

THIS IS A CHARTER FLT SERVICE AND CANNOT BE BOOKED VIA NOK AIR.

I'm off to Phuket in three weeks and I'd rather drive 45 minutes north of here and get a plane direct to DMK than catch the 4 1/2 hour bus trip - I'm not leaving my car in car park for over week, the cost is exorbitant - to Future and then cab it to Don Muang.
That said, there still isn't an official price available for the flights.

The price is 2k each way if i recall but I will get that confirmed when I eventually find out who the hell to contact about booking it.

Last time I got the bus to Mochit took 6hrs !! Big difference for 2 @ 552 baht each way by bus or 4k each way by air.

Sorry.  Just replied to your earlier post.
I only made it as far north as Makro yesterday (I'm from just south of Nong Phai) and didn't see the signs.
When's the Grand Opening? In Thai time, obviosuly 555.

From memory its tomorrow the 2nd.If you continue into Phetchabun and on the opposite side of the road to the Kosit Hill hotel is a huge sign advertising.

I intend to take a drive into the airport to see what info is available there.

Telephoned Nok Air just now and they said they never heard of it !! and have no information and you cannot book through them maybe it's an agency ????    they said.......55555555.......Thailand at its best. Huge posters in Phetchabun about grand opening and NOTHING known by call centre staff at Nok Air !! Cannot book and have no idea where or who to contact about this "new service".

Amazing Thailand.

Don't see anything on Nok Air website yet?? Read an article that ticket price is going to be 2k baht each way and operating only Monday & Saturday.

Just to update this a little from my visit today. UJ was quite correct in his comments. What did surprise me was the "additional" declarations that were not asked for in previous years. 3 pages in total regarding overstay / work permits & visa and a detailed map to my address.

(As always this may be old news to some and new to others as offices can and do vary)

The whole extension application now consists of 8 pages plus photo and passport.

Do you still need a photo ? Thai Immigration website doesn't mention it and I vaguely remember them using desk cams.So photo or not please ??

Required:

Proof of income

Copy passport

Seems too little for Thai Immigration to me, please let me know if I missed something.

Thanks

No, I dont wish harm on anyone.

The restraint not to do something is harder but ultimately the safer option. As a farang you are at a distinct disadvantage right from the start. Simple rule, remove yourself from the problem, dont become part of the problem.

Dangerous place, never get involved in road rage, just be thankful you got home in one piece. Dont forget locals can and do carry firearms in their vehicles. As the Thai airline pilot found out when he was shot at on his way to the Airport, roadrage at its worst.

HI Black Ops

 

Apologies I overlooked this thread. I admit I have had varying success on that site but the recommendation is one who I have personally used at least 3 times and he has never failed. The feedback is a bit hit n miss hence I push a Skype discussion with all new contractors as a lot say they are UK based and are not. I'm not really bothered where they are from but to lie and be caught out is no way to begin. Michael is good for the project long term he's a stand up guy he turned down a job recently as my timings were not workable. Most would have taken the job and winged it. Good luck with the site if you need more direction put a post up or pm if you like. Prob better to post as I'm not all that on IOT but I will try.

 

 

Just as feedback, I have tried contacting "improve position" twice and never even got a reply! Not a good start and I have no confidence if they cant be bothered to answer an inquiry. (Twice)

Thanks anyway. The search continues.

Thanks for the above post.

I will checkout "Michael".

I cant remember which one but I did try some "freelancer" site and had loads of bids etc a lot from India. I checkout 3 from there feedback etc and the urls they supplied then narrowed to one. What a mess !! I had to stop him and walk away. It was obvious it was a "free template" manipulation done very poorly how he got the feedback he had is beyond me. I can only assume it was all "made-up" . Dont trust those sites now so a specific person / company recommendation is better.

I suggest Magento platform. It is the most powerful shopping cart solution, allowing you to build a high-end online shopping website. It is simple to develop your site in Magento. It's an over-architected platform as its architect is extremely powerful that it can suffice the needs of every website owner. + there are many magento extensions that can be easily integrated to suffice business requirements.

Thanks for your contribution but as stated twice already I dont want DIY.

Not interested in DIY I want a professional job done.

Every snake that comes in or near my house has the same name....."dead" !

I am not interested in what it was, take no chances with young kids around.
