Thank you. Is it free? I just want a field for play with my son.

Ok I'll go for it. You could try google. If that doesn't come up with anything. You can look at the playing fields near Tesco Lotus opposite side of the Bang-Na Trat Road, from Mega Bang-Na. Ok so you take the left turn where Tecco's is, that is the road to Ramkhamhaeng (University) 2. Known as Lam-song for bus transport. Anyway if you take that left about 300mts up the road you will see the new sports complex. I think it is mostly Astro turf, but there is at least one grass pitch there. It is a modern complex with coffee shops and restaurants.

If you don't have transport bus Nos: 38, 48, 46 & 139 from Central Bang-Na and Sukhumvit Rd will get you there.

Hope hat helps.

I would think not as it is a quality set up with floodlights and well maintained.

You would probably be better off looking for a Park.

jb1

so after reading your last paragraph. see you soon. Enjoy.

jb1

tnx.

Bottom line for me is best way of generating income from a 3mil investment.

10% relatively risk free ( points above noted) looks reasonable?

Absolutely

Believe that and you will believe anything.

The world and his wife are currently buying off-plan condos in Pattaya/Jomtien with a view to renting them out for fantastic returns, yet even at the peak of high season the existing condos do not all find tenants and in the low season even fewer are occupied. So just who is going to be renting all these new ones (if they actually all get built) and at what price?

Exactly that.

I've been involved in a lot of events in Europe and have frequently been surprised by the sub standard materials used in stage-building and several other aspects of H&S in major public events. considering the number of events Thai people organise, I would have thought that they would have become experts in this, but some of the stuff I've seen has been pretty frightening.

Regulation and inspection in UK and Europe is pretty strict, I somehow doubt that it is so thorough in Thailand.

The opening night of Pink Floyds Pulse concert at London's Earls Court. A section of the seating collapsed, injuring many. Concert was cancelled. Floyd visited the Injured in hospital.

The OP doesn't contribute to the UK anymore so it's only natural he wants to take his foreign bred family there to scrounge as much out of the UK system as he can for all four of them and then leave again before giving anything back. This seems to be a very common mentality these days and everybody thinks they are entitled to as many "freebies" as they can get their hands on. Yes, the UK system allows this but that doesn't make it a morally decent thing to do as an alternative to actually supporting yourself when you are able to do so, which appears to be the case of the OP.

Well done OP. What a total champ you are and you make us all proud to be British.

Indeed the OP doesn't contribute to the UK anymore, (but he likely will when he receives his state pension). The thousands of immigrants who arrive every month with their extended families have NEVER contributed, and get more freebies that any of us would get if we returned to the UK.

The welfare system needs to be massively overhauled, but there are too many do-gooders in the UK which prevents it. Perhaps if we were all to return to the UK with our hands out (asking for what we are legally entitled to) the government may act! But then again......................

If it's legal accept it.. Otherwise steer clear!

Basically two good arguments. Bit like glass half full/half empty scenario.

Maybe the OP should have just kept quite and done his own research on the internet, for the answers to his questions.

There are to many of us being stuffed by the UK with our pensions. We don't need to read about someone asking about how he can get freebies for himself and his children, for what is just a holiday. Will he be able to reclaim the airfares + get his return fares paid for?

About 3 years ago I had a bug in the salad of the burger I bought at the same McDonald's. They replaced the burger (minus the bug)

Did they offer a rebate? Sorry.

jb1

Yep - can just imagine all the local villages either cancelling their planned Bunfai (read gambling) events this year or submitting detailed timings of the rocket launches as requested.........................dream on Khun Sombat!

Water and Ducks back come to mind.

jb1

Speechless..... Almost.

jb1

Good to see the scene of crime rubber neckers are on the case?

jb1

what, yet another push, i think this one is the push of all pushs, who cares, formula one starts this weekend

Well I hope that the protests are over before the start of the Bangkok (street circuit) GP. In a couple of years time, I think it was?

jb1

Hurrah - a final push at long last!

Yeah, Just like Status Quo's final tour.

jb1

I would guess because this is an Asian country. Udon Thani is east and Chon buri couldn't be any further west or it would be in the Andaman sea.

I think you need to look at a map of Thailand. Ok Udon is is N/E ish. If Chonburi was any further West it would be in the Gulf.

jb1

yeah, I believe 100% of that......now, I heard that they are selling the victory monument statue....meet me and give me a deposit and I can get it for you.

No you got that wrong it's Democracy Monument they are selling.

jb1

You can buy a reasonably good bike for around 24,000bt.

Sounds like a better/safer option to me.

jb1

ZZZzzzzzzz 3 minutes of my life I wont get back !

Just learn to read faster. I managed to only lose 2.

Ha ha beat you both didn't lose any. Something told me, dpn't do it. lol

jb1

Does anyone know what product he is going to sell? Is it goods or a service of some sort?

I'm really getting a feeling he is on to a winner here, if only he was not so coy about his business model.

Of course I understand that in the high powered world of business it is sometimes prudent to play your cards close to your chest. This tells me he is a careful chap who is likely to be rich all over again.

Is your other handle "jackvale" by any chance? Because no one else could possibly be so gullible.

Jeez, who is gullible exactly?

I used to be a Plumber in my working days. With you all the way on this one. Must be in the Jeans. Still got my hair though ? lol

jb1

Sorry Impulse I didn't see your reply.

It's a long day. And it's not all in Bangkok. But one of my favorites is the weekend tourist train from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi "Bridge on the River Kwai". Start in BKK, end in BKK that same day. That counts, huh?

Leaves Hua Lamphong train station at 06:30 on Saturday and Sunday. Returns you that night. Best 120 baht deal in tourism IMO. But I'm a WW2 history buff. My recommendation- get off the train at K-Buri, spend the day in town and get back on the train on its way back through. The last segment of the trip isn't as worthwhile as visiting the museums and the famous bridge. (Still a good ride) Better yet, take Saturday's train up and Sunday's train back- spend the night.

Lots of links available, but most of them are commercial in nature so it's best to do a Google search.

Don't you think war crime tourism is distasteful? The bridge was built by slave labour and killed over 100,000 people but now it's a commercial operation with double pricing for farangs. I can't see the attraction at all.

My thoughts exactly... Until I went there. I found it a very humbling experience and would tell anyone to put it on their to do list. Having said that I have had people tell me that I should go see Cambodia's killing fields. That holds no interest for me at all.

jb1

Yep as a visitor is thier country I'm just expected to bend over, gently part my bumcheeks and take it...not allowed to complain.
