  1. About 5 months ago returning form Festival one afternoon of a public holiday took 45 min and my condo is just below the Big Buddha, under 5ks, was so over it called up the agent that sold me my condo and listed it, since then purchased some land and will build a new place in Sattahip, looking forward to moving down there.
  2. Uneven footpaths, I can deal with the footpath disappearing and they way some shops encroach on it but it really pisses me off the paving stones missing poping up etc, cost me a smart watch when I tripped once, next is pot holes that just go un noticed on roads, if you ride a motor bike you will understand, and then theres very bad traffic management, I live under 5ks from Central Festival, at times its taken me 45min to 1hr to get back home to Pratumnak.
  3. Dont be silly, squirt a little onto rag and rub off the glue.
  4. Ive used lighter fluid since CD days getting off price stickers.
  5. Even in Australia if you climbing into the ceiling youre likely to see daylight here and there if there is no sarking/foil. Normally you would look for broken tiles then look at the ridge, valleys and hips, depending on age of building the seal they use could have broken down, in AU we use morta to bond down ridge caps etc, the way to go is to get a roofer in and get them to go over it, local builder would have someone. Water leaks from a roof are often several meters or more away...
  6. If Bro cant pay sister will.....A friend of mine bailed out her drunk brother who crashed into a parked police car, she borrowed the 150,000 bail money and she was paying to off for several years as the case kept getting delayed, I asked her why she didnt let him rot in jail well in a more polite way she then says he has wife and kids, this is an adult pissed as a parrot behind the wheel and takes out a police car and sister foots the bill....Family bond is strong here.

  10. Ive put my condo up for sale, no signed agreement with the agency which surprised me, they have advertised it and one inspection, contacted me recently after 6 months to ask if I am still wanting to sell, yes, the deal is like anywhere if a buyer you are dealing with was introduced to your property by the agent/s then commission is payable, if on the other hand my condo office manager gives me the lead it would be nice of me to give her something if the sale went through. In AU you are under obligation for as long as the contract is valid for even if the buyer bypassed the agent and came directly to you.
  11. Moving towards communism and socialism? you are kidding me....you mean one party state's and I believe we seen about 4 ys back what a certain president tried to do as well...
  12. From my experience Thai companies, contractors will travel, BKK to Pattaya is no big deal, have never been charged extra either.
  13. Method in your madness...
  14. And who's the frigging idiot or idiots that that decided it was a good idea to block off uturn sections and direct you to do that uturn at the traffic lights?
  15. That's why us loaners come and post here, sense of community with out being involved....
  16. Yes there is a heritage listed temple along the way near Buriram, dont know what its called, worth seeing, just use "explore" or "attractions" on google maps when your around mid point there, it will come up.
  17. The Bell peppers in Big C looked old earlier in the week, the mandarin or small oranges turned out dry, today looking at the mandarins from Aussie, ummm, its August the season is from Nov/Dec to March/April...gave them a miss...pitied the Thai woman who decided to buy a bag.
  18. Buy when in season.
  19. The expansion of Nato didnt start 2 ys ago, by 1999 3 ex Soviet republics joined Nato, and then the rush started.
  20. 90% of people like to get it done early which makes it busy I found rocking up around 2.30 a breeze ...
  21. Vasectomy a long time ago.
  22. No, In BKK depending where 5 to 6000 easily for a studio dump, been to a a couple of Thai gfs living quarters I certainly couldn't and wouldn't stay more than a night...
  23. Know where that bar is or was and was watching this guy early on when he broke the news that he's relationship had gone south, was doing the walking beat up and down Jomtien beach rd every morning to clear his head, well details keep coming out but the whole reason he fell on his arse was firstly the choice of partner and secondly didnt have the smarts to put the lease into his name, it was put into her name, for her to leave as she had him over a barrel and no shame she wanted a pay out, forget how much now to move the name on the lease over to him, he said at the time he didnt have the few hundred thousand to give her and was pretty stressed as he was looking at loosing think it was around 600,000 that he put into it with renovations stock etc. As for she taking upwards of 60,000 out of the place each month I kinda find it hard to believe, there would have been at least 2 other staff to pay plus he's cut plus restock...maybe the last few months but certainly not the entire time... He should have had the balls to return 4 am with a truck and a few helpers and clear out as much gear and stock he could, she most likely would have to walk away or spend a fortune to re stock etc, but did he keep the recites for what he payed for and paying for? as he wasn't much of a business man he might have ended up in jail doing that knowing his luck.
  24. Same as GST with held in Australia, but its 10% there, your builder/head contractor will be on a rate at least in AU its adjusted each year on turnover and profit, may be not here, never mind, he can file a tax return end of the financial year, You are a business and obviously registered for Vat the house build is being treated as a business transaction, make sure your builder is aware of that 3% deduction as you know here paying tax is something like getting cancer, tell him to invoice you showing the 3% to be withheld, if at all a half decent biz it shouldn't be a problem.
  25. You thought out of the box, running cables through pipes...good one.
