NZ pine wood products have been sold here for many years: t&g sarking, doors, mouldings and ply.
T & G Sarking was used extensively at the Choui Fong Tea Plantation restaurant and tourist area in Chiang Rai - opened in 2015.
I should have been more specific - is sold as framing timber.

I have noticed shops stocking soft pinewood. In Australia pine is often used for building but had never seen it available in Thailand till recently. Am wondering if this is a result of price increase and supply difficulties with hardwood or just a coincidence at the places I have been going. From memory it seems considerably cheaper than what have paid before for hardwood.

Can we get some pictures of the so-called new park area there?
I have only seen pictures of the blue concrete area...

The parking garage and the park were dead again today though was around 4pm and maybe people were doing school pick ups. Alot of cars still seemed to be going to the back carpark. I guess Thais dont like change much. Several guards were sitting around looking at their phones. I also noticed they have put in a card system for payments. Wonder if that will increase patronage. Nice view from the rooftop but it is not a rooftop garden as promised and just more car park spaces.

Because so many of these bars offer 4 flavours of beer.
Chang.
Leo.
Singha.
San Mig Light.
If one needs a drinks menu to make their selection from those.................. well I'll leave it there cause anything further I say will have the mods put me on a holiday.
They have more choice than that. Chang big or Chang small. Leo big or leo small so on, so on.

Interesting post as I just went to the fish market today. The new parking garage is very tight. I had trouble getting my full sized sedan in a parking slot. But the traffic heading into the market has subsided due to the new lot. Although I like the new lot convenience, I would give up that convenience for the park. Thailand just does not have enough open spaces with trees and plants. It is a crime what they did to the Beach Road waking trail.
I do not drive but the traffic still seemed chaotic.

There are other threads about this. You go to your local ampur and get an updated marriage certificate -Kor ror 2 I think it is called for 100b or so. I do not think you can get a visa with a foreign marriage certificate unless you have registered the marriage in Thailand. You only need a signed copy of your wifes id card. You do not need her passport or a letter but if you want to cover everything bring one. They ask for proof of 20,000 b in a foreign bank but they did not take mine. The shop across the road prints a form for you and you write multi-entry on top of it and make sure they take the 5000b. I went there last November.

I was surprised how few people were using it. Lots of empty spaces. Monday night on long weekend. Traffic chaos in Naklua Rd. The policeman even tried to hurry me along as I paid for my songtaew. The park and market seemed not so busy.

Lucky helps a lot of people with travel from Suma Court in Soi Bukhao. It is just past the 7/11 after the hosptal heading towards South Pattaya Rd.

Thanks. I have seen them. Am set on the round buckets. Must have cleaned too many hotels, offices etc over the years to want to change. Dont think the cart ones give enough control over the amount of water you are putting on the floors.

Just FYI - you can edit out anything after the "html?" when providing links. Someone had to tell me.

Hoped somebody would know of a cleaning supplies shop in Pattaya. Mainly looking for a commercial type mop and bucket. Have tried Lazada, Homepro, Do Home. Thinking of importing from overseas.

Disagree, they treat people like animals and they did hassle my friend, who had no tourist visa abuse history and all paperwork / proof. They seemed to allow over 10-15 people in front of us, who looked like homeless eastern europeans, behaved very bad too, were loud, who came via a agent and all were accepted.
But my friend was refused, he attempted the next day again as well, with his actual detailed travel plans, as that all was they had to bring as an argument (even hotels booked/paid, flight back europe booked/paid, money proof), but refused again.
Question is also in those terms what they now consider to be a 'tourist', I met plenty of people who would always come to Chiang Mai for 3-5 months a year, not work, but be static. This as my friend is similar, he booked the same place 2 months. Consulate guy didn't like that it seems.
Same after all the years, still not a single improvement on providing some shade for waiting people. Or to actually use the seats with a simple queue system, could be realised in a day time and the guard can hand out printed numbers equal to the seats available. Keep the rest out the gate.
But yes, for non-o people it all seems hassle free somehow. Personally I would rather go to Vientiene or Hanoi on appointment. But guess it makes sense for those living in isaan.
Your friend could possibly get a 6 month multi entry tourist visa in his own country. Maybe the staff at the office get tired of people who dont bother doing this.

A lot of people use to buy seafood and have a picnic in the lovely park there...
So now are they going to have a picknic in the new parking garage?
With-out the park I see a lot less people going there...
They have built a concrete park at the back. Grass notcalliwed in Pattaya

There are several threads on this. If you look through the pages or do a search you will find plenty of information.

This is bad news if you own a hospitality business in Thailand. Agoda is the most incompetent company around. If there CEO predicts something the opposite is bound to happen.

We always had mosquitoes everywhere till my neighbour's daughter had dengue. Now they have lessened enormously. Since it affected her family she cleaned up all the water lying around. A bit of public education can help.

Yeah we seem to get that at the flyover near me, Hwy 36.... what starts out as an odd bod often grows each few days until there is a right collection of junk under there. Not sure if they move on, or are moved on, but then one day no people, no junk. Can't imagine it is cool under all that concrete.....
They do collect a lot of rubbish. Good on them for finding shelter but when they turn it into a rubbish dump can look pretty bad.

Mysterious much off it was destroyed in a fire 3 years ago.
It was the upper floors of one of the buildings further away from the beach. For a while you could see the damage from Suk Rd.

Anutin has 71 seats for sale.
Do you think the reason they dont include him is the marijuana issue that Anutin depends on for support or that he does not want to associate with the regime or that he doesnt like him. (Who does?) Pita referred to him indirectly by saying he does not need any more support.

Pine wood
in DIY Forum
Posted · Edited by Wongkitlo
Edit
I am actually making open closets with shelves. In concrete room with no other wood. I was partly wondering if hardwood is going to get excessively expensive(considering 3 metre pine lengths at Do Home are 258b) and hard to source leaving little other choice.
