  1. There was a farang near me, thought he would get the outside of the house painted while he was away for a few weeks, so he's got the painter to come around and give an estimate, ok straight forward job same colour "White" everything was agreed, the farang gave him money not all of it but enough to get on with the job, final payment when he comes back, no problem, so he thought. He comes back after 3 weeks he almost drives past his own house, why? they had painted it purple he blew a gasket WTF is that I told you white, the reply from the painters We thought you would like it, 555, I thought at the time maybe they had a few buckets of purple paint left over from another job, then spent the money,
  2. I have known cases in my area were they wanted the poo yai baan as a witness
  3. There was a farang here some years ago bought a bar, he called me one day asking if I knew a good electrician he wanted to make some changes, I know 2 but they dont come cheap if you want a good job doing. I called the one who lived nearest to the bar and asked to take a look, later the electrician called me and said he's not doing the job unless the farang completely rewires the place, I asked why, he said the previous owners had used speaker cable for all the lights, it must been glowing,
  4. I think rule number one dont use anybody recommended family member, Rule number two dont use HP free installations guys, last year the wife wanted a new washing machine and they said free install, what could go wrong I thought take the old one out and put the new one in, same place that turned into a nightmare I flirted them off and did it myself, I've been through a few clowns over the years, now I have a good team of guys who I can call on, I spent all my life in the construction industry so I can usually tell by looking at them, if they get their tools out and it looks like a bag of scrap iron you know what kind of job you will get, It doesn't stop just in the construction, a couple of years ago I had a flat battery on my truck so I called the local tyre and battery place down the road they came right out with a new battery but put it on the wrong way round and blew all the fuses, <deleted> idiots, red to red and black to black, I had to call another garage to come and fix the truck, My list would be endless on here,
  5. If it's anything like Phuket then Thai people wont do them jobs, give them a permit and let them work for them it's about survival and they are getting paid peanuts, life is bad enough for some of them,
  6. Have they been yet or what? this is getting boring now

  15. even Thai people never see it that way, it cost my daughter a fortune to come this year from England
  16. I'll admit I've done some damage in the time I've lived in Thailand, both in Bangkok and Phuket, there is one I let live with me for a while 16/17 years ago even to this day she never forgets my birthday or any other day, I think the worst one was this crazy Hi-So bitch, I didn't know at first but she was an alcoholic, she threatened me with the army, navy and the air force, which one do want first she said, send the all at once I said, I did miss her B/J's though 555, That was when Thailovelinks was all the go, so I did a bit of sightseeing around Thailand happy days
