Agent has done a runner

Mostly when i want to move i just ride the scooter around in areas where i want to live looking for houses to rent, forget the internet as many just put a hand written sign outside or stuck to a lamp post with a phone number, or even ask at the local noodle shop.. if they know a place they just give the number, View a house and talk with the owner then for instance if they want 8k offer 5k but 6 or even 12 months in advance... often they got for it and are also convinced there will be no problems collecting the rent as would/has been the case with thai renters, When the deal is done give 2 months deposit and transfer the first 6 months to their account ..all with a signed contract available from the post office, After that its just a matter of moving your funiture and get the internet cable moved to the new house, after a few days i feel at home as does the dog, Kevins job is to keep the squirel and monitor lizard population down and deter other unwanted visitors -

tingtongfarang replied to Velleman's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
First thing they will do is put your car on a lift and take the wheels off, after that they will start offering to exchange parts which are in perfect order, they changed my brake disks with non om parts and after i ended up with the front brakes on fire and locked up, this happened 3 times untill they skimmed the disks down to the original thickness, after this i just dont trust them and have heard many reports from other customers complaining , i would'nt trust them with a peddle car now -
