  1. Dragging up an old post. Does anybody know if the village head can adjudicate a business dispute? The problem has not arisen yet but it has been threatened. It is on a small island and there is no court - only the police force who sit around doing not much.
  2. Regular vans on Sukumvit rd . I have caught a songthaew on Suk Rd from U-Tapao. Changed songtaew along the way. Guess the one from UTP came from Rayong
  3. And you get to have a holiday every 90 days. My wife is usually busy sonI go by myself.
  4. He smiled through his mask.
  5. Yes. It was from this site that I was warned to do it.
  6. The iO was very friendly and smiling????
  7. It must be hard for HammerMan as he seems to be getting a lot of negative comments. I think when it gets going it will be really successful. Maybe people from Pattaya are not the ideal market but there are a lot of tourists on Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Kood who would find it convenient to travel to Koh Samui without the long a trip by road to Bangkok then to Samui. I understand it must ne an expensive process getting it going but I hope the backers will realize it is a long term high demand operation with the growth in Koh Chang etc.
  8. A warning to all to check entry stamps. I have ME npn O and just entered from Cambodia and was given 45 days. Luckily I checked and went back and he changed it to 90 days.
  9. I just use them like cordial added to soda water. 20 %coke 80% soda
  10. I am convinced that Thai Coca Cola, Schweppes etc have more sugar added than if you buy them in Western countries.
  11. No. As I wrote, the advertisement is in the jobs section and the details are there. I was trying to attract attention to it but is ok. The position has been filled.
  12. Don't know. The tuk tuk driver just brought me. The queue was long but they were very quick. Peoplecsaid go early but I wonder if you went later they would be just playing on their phones and ypu would get served quicker.
  13. There is a little print shop across the road which has the forms. For a price of course. I did a download and print for 100 baht. He wanted to fill out the form for me but I just took it.
  14. Thanks Joe. Was hoping would have a better chance of finding someone in Issan but thankyou for accepting anyway.
  15. Looking for female Thai worker on beautiful Koh Kood. Have posted in the jobs section. If moderators do not approve please delete.
  16. We are looking for a Thai worker at our guesthouse/restaurant on beautiful Koh Kood island. Cleaning rooms, doing laundry, some cooking. We would prefer a mature worker-any age ok. We are only open 6 months a year but would help support the right person all year. Salary, accommodation, food and laundry provided.
  17. I had a problem with transfer from NAB. If I use the NAB app it uses Osko and the money goes to Wise virtually immediately. Yesterday I logged into internet banking and am still waiting for the transfer. I found that if you use Internet banking it does not use Osko and it will be treated like a normal bank payment (next working day)
  18. With the Savannakhet non o you need to do leave Thailand every 90 days or go to Immigration and get a 60 day extension to visit your wife.
  19. Picked up the visa today. Lots of visa groups waiting at 2 pm and people jumping the queue. Was at the bus station for the 2.30 bus to the border. The Fun Dee hotel was nice and clean, modern and friendly for 250, 000 kip for 2 people and 2 breakfasts(150,000 for the room-I think about 350 b). The only addition is there is a 50 baht fee to leave Laos. Not sure exactly why.
  20. Yes it is beautiful. One of the last relatively untouched islands but also a nightmare for logistics. Getting better now we have Lazada
  21. Is interesting what you say because the amount of water I will save by not having it pressurized might compensate for the slow flow with the small pipes. As sometimeswoodworker said it might put excessive strain on the pump which is a consideration.
  22. Thanks. Such things are difficult on a remote island. It is an hour by boat from the mainland and on the edge of Cambodia and to get people to come out is far beyond the budget of a cheap guesthouse(especially after being closed 2 years by covid). I was hoping to save money by adapting the old system but have learnt will not work. Everything here is put together by the locals. Have been waiting for 3 weeks for someone from TOT to come and fix the internet so I am pretty sure getting someone here would be a difficult and expensive exercise.
  23. Thank again you for your advice. You were very helpful when I installed the system and was trying to deal with all the pressure problems
  24. I have replaced all the toilet cisterns, countless pipes. It can be as simple as the power cuts out, someone tries a shower and since no power no water, does not turn off properly, they leave for the beach, i have padlocks on tbe doors and many people put on their own padlocks so I can not access the room, the power comes back on and so does the shower and the pump runs continually till they come back and turn off the shower. I have basic handyman skills and am reliant on the local Thais and they know better than farungs. I went to buy the pump with a local and took extensive photos to show at the shop. The Thais decided I had to have the largest and most expensive pump. I think it is too strong for the size of the property. The water pressure is full on. I bought a pressure regulator and the Thais decided I did not need it and removed it. I am just a farung and my wife and the locals know better.
