Thanks for all your replies yes the challenge of finding a "quality tradesman " is a major concern the original driveway is pretty ordinary Tropposurfer, im also from Aus and quite familiar with the method of extending a concrete slab, done it quite a few times with great results, because it was done properly. in Melbourne we have Pebblemix, it would be the perfect solution, but alas nothing like that here. the patterns of the stamped concrete are rather garish at best, but there is one that resembles pitted bassalt which looks quite nice. its either that or painted yes its only a driveway, but its on show, so to speak...

Have been given these 2 products i presume the bottle is a general plant food ? The Osmocote is suitable for what plants. Are either suitable for Bottle Palms, Yellow Palms, Foxtail Palms Thank You.

Have had several large areas of grass laid about 4 weeks ago mostly looking lush apart from a few trouble spots its time for a feed, what easy to apply products do people use, bearing in mind its quite a large area, total 700 Sq M. Thanks.

Have a concrete driveway already, but it needs to be enlarged, on both sides im being told that if i do stamped concrete over the old and new part, that the new part will subside , maybe only a little in spots , but enough to crack the stamped concrete. Any thoughts ? Or would i be better just painting the whole driveway with a purpose made concrete paint Any experiences with either appreciated...

Thanks jaiyenyen its srer a heck of a way from where i am, but its well noted

i have seen a lot of You Tube videos about the Chatuchak Market and the huge range of plants on offer for sale is there anywhere in Bangkok or near surrounds, preferably south, that has a big range of semi established Trees for sale in the order of 3 - 5 metres tall thanks.

Thanks Henry for the kind offer im sure with not a lot of expense it could be re worked, but misses on a few things i need

i am in the Hua Hin area, and need some nice looking established trees specifically for shading an outdoor seating / eating area, Not Palms, have plenty already i have been to a few local places that actually has established trees, even specimen trees including a quite big place on the bypass rd just south of Cha Am anything established is either huge or so devoid of canopy, or both that they are more than ugly Any suggestions as to where i might be able to find a decent range of trees in the areas mentioned Thanks. Possibly even something like this

Thanks Greasy, its not the same stuff its actually volcanic rock that has been cut, into various thicknesses it is pitted all over with air bubbles so would be useless as a benchtop

Is there anywhere in Thailand that someone might know who sells this type of product they are Lava Stone Pavers, also known as Basalt Pavers,,,, irregular sizes , about 30 mm thick it seems you can get them in any other country but here, im hoping someone has seen them, perhaps used them or knows who might have them i need approx 40 square metres of them Thanks...

Someone out there may have a decent powered Stereo Amplifier that they no longer really need or use, as long as its in full working condition and looks like as new as can be.. it can be 2 / 5 / 10 years plus old... just 2 simple requirements it must have a Loudness control it must have a Phono input power, id like minimum of 60 - 80 watts per channel more is better or any suggestions as to second hand dealers .. Thanks.

Thanks, i know the store...

Having come from a country with an abundance of wood suitable for an outdoor brick design pizza oven, it seems there is little to be found here "Hua Hin" area and being new to charcoal cooking , is it a usable suitable fuel for a pizza oven ?? Thanks.

Thanks all, ill stick with the brick concept, it worked before so,,, as for smoking food, i had 2 webers for 30 years and used a variety of wood chips, one of the best and cheapest was in fact apple tree wood, well aged and dried . it was wonderful...

Thanks LA yes ive seen the Lazada offerings and right up to 120,000 baht for a what id call a pretty basic unit back home i had a fairly simple brick one that sat on a workable height brick supporting platform, cost less than $2000 " 50,000baht " wood fired, worked a treat.... as for a pizza stone, had one, used it twice, i dont want to use the indoor oven at all

i am wanting to purchase a smallish pizza oven for the outdoor area possibly one of the brick dome types, perhaps something similar to the pic illustrated any suggestions as to a reputable supplier / maker in the Bangkok to Hua Hin area Thanks...

Planning a visit to them thanks.

Please, suggestions as to who in Bangkok, or south "Hua Hin area " might make / fabricate something similar to this. nothing anywhere as big as pictured, but about 5 m x 5 m in size, utilising a PVC waterproof membrane

Thanks, ill have a friend who is traveling to Phuket soon to have a look around there.

Thanks 1 another avenue to pursue, though vendors selling statues etc i enquired at., were in no way the least bit interested, ill perhaps change tack..

thanks Mr Rabbit, ill try that as well...

Ill try to hunt one down, im sure its not too hard to make, just finding someone is the hiccup thanks for the other pic, i know the album ? band very well and im creating a piano waterfall water feature and it would look complete with the figuirine. apart from being somewhat of a tribute to GB....

Thank you Ryan not wanting a gnome but a copy of the ornament as in the picture

i am wanting to find someone who is able to make a concrete statue like the one in the picture, not the piano, just the ornamental statue / figurine the places ive tried locally seen only interested in selling the "ready made " mass produced things im in the Hua Hin area, bit happily have it transported from further afield as required. Thank You.

Thank you Stephen, ive used similar at home before, and also used marine varnish, both do a great job for theitr needs, i think im going to need something with way morehorsepower im currently looking at a Toa sunproof sealer. or roof sealer and other sinilar products i realise it wont transform the piano into a furniture masterpiece but it may do what i require ??
