I think this is the place I've used before: https://hotelssupplythailand.com/

Kick them in the back while they're sat on public land?

Lol yes, that's what I found incredibly funny. They do this job all day every day but don't even have a spade/ Pretty much. Would only take a couple of hours with a mini digger to totally clear it so I'll likely do that the day before. There or there abouts, but doubled for an "express" service.

We'll be adding a boundary wall on the road side, about 100m wide. For the other 3 sides I want to put up barbed wire fencing initially and then at a later date a full wall that is set back roughly 1 metre from the barbed wire. Don't have the cash for a 700m wall yet without taking funds away from the house build.

Yes it's rectangular (almost). Corner to corner line of sight is kind of a catch 22 situation. I don't know what the boundaries are until they place the markers, so doing it beforehand might mean I'm clearing trees from someone else's land.

No, it has trees, quite a few of them. The perimeter is in the region of 700 metres and I want most of the trees on it to remain.

We are having our land surveyed at the end of next week. The paperwork we have been given lists some tools that we need to provide, and work that must already have been done to make the surveyors job easier. The tools seem to include 4 shovels... has anyone gone through this process recently and can confirm that this is really a requirement. Was there anything else you needed to provide? The paperwork also seems to suggest that the boundaries need to have been cleared. This will be rather awkward, as much of the boundary is tree covered. Again, any ideas as to work that should have been done before they come? I don't want to have to pay twice and they are also booked up months in advance, so a delay would be rather awkward. I'm thinking of have a mini digger (5 ton or so) on site for the day in case some clearing is needed. Thanks.

Next they'll be closing for lunch.

If around 10m = exactly 10m then this is a standard length. There are several shops in TukCom that will have them. If you're likely to need further cables in the future, I'd recommend learning how to make them yourself. Buy the cable in a roll of 100m or 305m, the RJ45 terminals and the crimping tool (don't buy cheap here) and you'll soon learn that it's quite easy and FAR more cost effective than buying pre-made.

The guy is offering to pay to install something that is reasonably common in many residential buildings around the world, raising it initially some time ago with no response and you're calling him entitled? Would I want EV charging in a condo building that I lived in? Probably not, but there again I don't like condos and don't live in condos for a whole host of other reasons.

You need to buy a can of electrical smoke in case you get the wiring round the wrong way. If the smoke escapes, just fill it back up again from the can.

To be fair, that's far from the worst thing you can be called in Bristol.

Thank you for the PG Tips.

I need to be in London in early April. My last few flights have been Emirates or Qatar, and before that, Etihad. This time I've booked Gulf Air. Their return prices for business were a touch under $3k, which is a VERY good price and their Apex Suite is one of the best hard products available. Not sure what the rest of the service is like but for that price I don't really care. Perhaps give them a look too?

It wasn't just legal, it was perfectly reasonable. I'd have done the same. By you paying a deposit, they took the property off the market. Your circumstances changed, theirs didn't. Might not be the news you wanted to hear, but if the shoe was on the other foot, I would expect you to do the same.

First view from the newly purchased land looking across to Laos.... from 50m up in the air mind you. Back to land office tomorrow to add usufruct to the chanote. Paid additional 7k baht to have the chanote markers installed. First available appointment is in May!

Will it be mushroom shaped?

Well I made it up here. Getting the money from the bank was relatively easy. Had to get it from my branch and had to order on Friday to collect on Monday. Decided to drive up. The cash pretty much fills a backpack and as I have plenty of other stuff that would need to go in the cabin, the decision to drive was pretty much decided by that factor alone. Thanks for the helpful replies, and also for some of the less helpful)

Just don't get them in your eyes or you'll be giving everyone a long hard stare.

They are so relatively cheap that I'd just buy new. Personally I don't like the manual gears though, so in that class I'd go with a Click.

Sure thing. Just boarding now.

Brilliant post. Thank you.

It's in the perfect location for us. We looked at quite a few plots, some cheaper, some not, and they all had at least one major drawback. This one is perfect (for us) because: 1.) It's pretty much exactly where we wanted to be. 2.) It has the perfect road frontage width (100 metres). 3.) It is on a 5m wide government road which joins the main local road just 300 metres away. 4.) School for the kids is 320 metres down the road. 5.) Has decent fiber internet just down the road. 6.) Has 3 phase power (that one is important for me and my toys, though still plan solar). 7.) It's the perfect shape - almost perfect rectangle. Good for all the things I want to do (pond and a few other goodies). 8.) It needs zero landfill. The soil is actually almost a metre higher than the frontage road. 9.) It backs on to another unused plot of approximately the same size that we might be able to pick up very cheaply, not that we need it. 10.) There is a pretty decent falang house just 2km down the road (there are not that many in the whole area) that we've been offered to rent for 6k baht per month for as long as we need to. Price was actually 25% lower than the asking price. Good or bad, it's approx £100k for the perfect plot of land that, I hope, I'll live on until I depart this world.

Ain't that the truth.

Red Chanote. Directly on quiet 5m wide concrete road with fiber internet and 3 phase power.
