Are you saying it's the Thai's that will fuel the Pattaya property market into the future?  

Perhaps more than western expat, yes. 

Why not?

You see a lot of the big condo buildings with hardly any lights on in the nights, who do you think owns a lot of them?

I have an older double wide trailer in the states. I had the roof covered with that spray on foam. Works great, I could pick the thickness and priced accordingly.

thank you for your input.

You shouldn't have any roof leaks if your roof is not old or maintained.

Foam is not the way to stop roof leaks.

Of course you shouldn't, i understand that!

With regards to your 2nd sentence, see post #2 answer to question #2 from someone who has experience with it.

Thai's are really snoopy.

And grasses!

Insulation to the ceilings and venting the roof space is cheaper and more affective. 

Up to you. 

But will not fix / prevent small leaks as the foam will ( or claims to ).

0) yes

1) it depends on how thick it is

2) yes

3) a long time, I don’t expect it to need to be redone unless there is mechanical damage

4) 300 baht for 25mm thickness 

5) yes, we are in Issan, the company came from Bangkok 

Excellent, thanks for the info, any contact details?

1m3 "square" plastic containers (often with a cage) are readily available from the places that sell oil drums and the like, check what's been in it in the past.

Are you talking about IBC's?

Any idea what the cost of them is?

Looking at getting this done in my house, has anyone done this and have experience?

1. did it make a large difference in A/C efficiency?

2. does it seal up leaks in roof ( if there are any )?

3. how long does it last before needing 're-done'?

4. rough cost per sqm?

5. any companies that do this in Central thailand?

Thanks.

It's always been "ish." Six feet translates roughly to 1.6-ish meters.

Thank Buddha we don't live in South Africa. They have banned both drinking and smoking.

Restaurants yes, bars no.

Restaurants are not allowed to sell alcohol and must maintain a set distance (1.5 metres I think it is) between customers.

Why is it now 1.5m?( up till now 2m has been the majic number ).

You followed the above post with FOURTEEN others, and you still refuse to accept that many people do not want to get on a motorcycle in Pattaya.  (I do use m/c taxis, but I understand clearly why many do not.)  

What's your point?

Same here. When this Virus is all over I will get solar.

Solar is interesting.

I looked into it about 7-8 years ago and the start up cost ( initial outlay ) were very very high, i'm not sure if it's become more affordable?

Not everybody is the same. When I am really hot in 40c of heat, I have a fan with its fixed direction on me. It is enough. I can tolerate the heat.

Tolerating and being comfortable are completely different.

I could tolerate walking without shoes but i don't.

Ok - thx

From krabi I don’t think you will even make it past Ao Luek which is only 45 km north of krabi,I know Thai people that have been refused and turned around and sent back to krabi to get letter from amphur.

Wow - how recent was this?

I'm sorry i don't have any info for you but i will say let the Thai family sort this our on your own, this situation is not unique.

As much as you want to get involved to help, stay clear.

Try riding back at 1am after 10 beers past the Police check point at the bottom of Pratamnack Hill.

Why would you drive after 10 beers, that's just stupid.

96000 on the first original set on my 2012 Vigo. 85000 on next set of Maxxiss. Next set doing OK. Rotate them every 10000km service, and keep them at 29psi.

Yeah 29psi is what mine are at, nice ride.

I don't rotate.

As other have said an impossible question the answer. All depend on size of wheels, car, how you drive. I have Dunlop on my Tuna 20" rims and they have done 40K KM and they still look like new. By the way they are looking they will last another 3+ years or more than 80K KM. I am very light on things that wear out anyway. My last Tuna had done almost 100k at 9 years old and never had to changed the brake pads. Tyres yes as I changed them at 6 years due to the heat here. They still had lot's of tread left. 

I got 80K km on my fortuna with the tires it came with - 2 years old.

Did your wife and rescuers have the same paperwork ?

Totally agree, absolutely no chance Thais would fill in this paperwork or for that matter even be aware it existed, one suspects.
