  1. Rockfish Restaurant in Kamala do high end catering they also have a new chef he's from Don Marazio at Kalim. Very nice food and good service. I've seen some of there functions very smart indeed.

  2. Quote. You give the impression of a very naive & young Kiwi who knows absolutely nothing about Thai culture or it's women

    Yes you're wright on this point having been living in the LOS for ten months I am still finding my way. Reading as much as possible and asking lot's of questions, so please bear with me it's a learning experience!!

    I didn't explain before the 'job offer' was really to find out her motivation and I'd never part with money for land, PA etc in this context.

    I normally play the odds any life situation except this time I fell.....

    Thanks to Roy and the few others who offered sound advice.

    Interesting comment about the MTBs Gungadin not sure why you mentioned that!?!

  3. Hi I am about to buy a business in Patong/Phuket. I've been told by my accountant that if the lease is in a personal name I must deduct 15% withholding tax but if the lease is in a business name then it's only 5%.

    Is it normal in Thailand that the business broker request all monies be transacted through his business account deposit and final payment etc

    Your thoughts please

    Cheers

  4. I thankyou for your sound advice. Last night we got really drunk in her bar and on the way home she told me that her boss said "finish with him" which I have. So we never got to the 'how much' I realised before the request that something wasn't wright and to confirm that's why I posted.

    I have one last question why would an intellegent attractive girl stay working in the bar if she was offered a very attractive salary to be my PA?

    My accountant(she's Thai) said it was because "it's to easy and to much fun"

    Someone else said it was because she has a "Tha BF"

    Your thoughts please

    Many thanks for confirming my suspicions.

    BTW I meet a really nice girl in the Calvin Klein shop today in Phuket.

  5. Thanks I've been seeing her for about 6 weeks and have given her very little. I did buy her a watch(4000baht) and some cheap clothes, she stares me away from the expensive clothes, and is quite frugal with shopping etc

    I find it a little strange and will turn down her request and see what happens. I am not jumping for anyone!!!

    And I am not going to buy the land just wanted another opinion to confirm my own, it's a new country so new rules expections etc.

    She hasn't asked for any amount she mentioned her mum would like to do that for her.

    What's the cost of a rubber tree 15baht she tells me

  6. Thanks aesthete & Fletcher yes this is a genuine question. I've always liked Burma and it's people it would make a great investment maybe not now but differently in the future.

    Sunbelt have a couple of businesses for sale in Burma.

    Fletcher any chance you could add your advice to this post.

    Regards

  7. Hi I am still unable to get the net after 4 months due to no telephone number available....Will I still need a telephone number if I apply to the Singapore net service in Phuket?

    Any other option, what about a satalite link?

    Cheers

  9. Good news about the Merida dealer they are on special in Aus for $1795. Do you have any other details the name etc

    I am still not sure there some nice 07 bikes going discounted in Adelaide I also like to save money.

    I wont be going near the USA I've looked at a Merida 900D all XT a very nice bike

    The Merida importer has a shop in Bangkok

    Worachak street just north of Chinatown

    Excellent prices.

    BTW, mountain bike prices are very low in Thailand because there is a very low customs duty as they are considered Sports equipment and allowed entry with minimum fuss.
