Nice try disgusting drug dealer.

Enjoy your time in prison.

clearly have no actual clue or facts about drugs.. although yes, its still illegal here now cannabis is in no way dangerous to people, laws are changing, if it was legal to buy now would he still be a 'disgusting drug dealer'? how about all the u.s states that are now raking in tax money form the new laws, are the guys selling it there also 'disgusting drug dealers'?

Try leasing before you buy, but be prepared to get shafted , there not nice people down there. 

Plenty of them, but not hooker sexpat night life which is why majority of members here never been and comment with zero experience 

To the OP, there is land for sale, i presume you are looking to build however finding quality builders can be an issue, there are good builders but they are always busy, You would also need to establish contacts for materials & deliveries etc, connection of electric also.

There are quite a few half finished places and some completed houses for sale that would need renovating but building from sratch can prove difficult even as a tradesman or in construction, also plans need to be approved and there is also zoning so there are certain rules as to what can be built  nd how much of the land can be developed.

There are planty of foreigners that have land and built owe own property and hopefully they will be able to help you through private messages becuause 99% of people commenting here have zero first hand knowledge of the Island and just post negative rubbish

Your point is?

 

It can be as picturesque as it likes - that doesn't take anything away from the fact that the whole area is run by gangsters/mafia. I'm also sure you know about the large amount of 'unsolved' murders on Koh Tao - mostly foreign tourists. Certainly not on my list of must go destinations.

That is so far from the truth is laughable you clearly have no 1st hand knowledge of the place!

The post is about buying land not what fantasy stories you've read on here.

So does anyone one commenting here know of anyone thats got or had this? The common flu is worse and kills more annually....all media BS

A lot of farangs get fleeced like this. Tao is run by 5 or 6 families. Don't do it.

You have absolutely no idea what youre talking about

Well I will take a crack at that one. Lets start with Trump being hardest on them. Bit difficult for anyone else to do it as he is running the show and I recall he was loathe to place the sanctions, but wasn't given much option in it. Secondly, why would they want Trump in again? It seems blatantly obvious to those who aren't blind. It is way way better for Russia to have an irrational and egotistical fool at the helm of the worlds supposed greatest power than someone who can act logically and in the genuine interests of the country. I think that answers your question. You might have trouble understanding it, but the Russians don't!

No, i'd say that is not a credible answer at all.

No mention of cash nor jewelry... 

When have you read of a bust without wads of cash being found with the drugs?  And jewelry, seems like heavy gold chains and expensive watches would be part of his "personna".

 

Youve been watching too many rap videos

The drug dealer goes to Bangkok Hilton for a very long time and somebody suddenly and unexpected get rich.

Drug dealers don't deposit money in banks or keep it in the house, they stash it somewhere on the island.

Slightly out of touch

This is why you NEVER EVER flaunt your wealth. NEVER. You only flaunt your wealth if you've earned your money legitimately ( which is 100% never the case if you're driving around in Lamborghinis). Even some of my friends that are legit Silicon Valley billionaires drive Hondas and Toyotas. In Silicon Valley, people actually look down on you if you're too flashy. It's consider low-status / thuggish / trashy to drive around in a Ferraris and Lambos. You get labeled as a "tool" or "douche bag". In Thailand, people are still heavily under the influence of materialism and actually look up to people that "seem rich" but those days are long gone in America. 

 

The most successful international crime lords live a very simple life, they live completely underneath the radar. You would never know they're wealthy.

 

One of America's most notorious crime lords, Frank Lucas, got caught because he went out partying one night and wore a fancy mink coat to a night club. Paparazzi caught his image and the FEEB was like "Who is this guy in the mink coat?" and started looking into him. Boom, game over. He would live to forever regret the night he let his model wife pressure him into wearing that mink coat. RULE OF THUMB: Always pretend to be poor, even when you're fabulously rich.

For that it would be necessary to start to clean "the trash island" of the mountain of waste which is hidden towards its center.
Once that was done, "we" could install a solar power plant;
but in the island of corruption, the first thing to do would be to put in prison those who keep it in slavery in their large well pointed greenhouses.
So not tomorrow the day before ..
And then, this is only a proposal in order to know what percentage can be put in his deep pockets ...

The trash mountain is all but gone, they've been clearing it pretty much daily since last year, shame they can't arrange the same for samui or phangan

begining to look as if they shot their own plane down by accident 

it was Ukrainian plane, not Iranian

hello there, i was searching for irrigation info and saw this thread, sorry to jump in on it but wondered if someone could give me some help too..

i have some flower beds i'd like to set up a system on,  3 x 20m straight runs, but so far my trials didn't work.
firstly i bought pop up sprinklers, idea was place them in the garden so that they watered both grass and plants at same time, they were adjustable but even so i could only attach 2 otherwise they didnt work properly.

next i tried a cheap kit from Lazada, i used 20m of 4mm pipe and tee'd off 22 drippers the the various plants, tuned it on to set the flow to each but the water barely got 2/3 along the pipe, even when we shut them all off the water wasn't flowing well...is that pipe too small to be the main feed?

i have the same drippers as the link above, you can set them from 1-70 lt per hour, so even with them all fully open the pump is at half capacity...(i believe)

i have the yellow Mitsubishi water pump WP305, the flow rate is 55l per min which equals 3300 per hour, 

i'm hoping its just bigger delivery pipe needed as i didn't really intend to buy a different pump, but would like to hear form someone with experience in this...cheers
