And it took 7 policemen to arrest him?

If wide angle lens used, could fit even more in the photo.

I find most Tops supermarkets have a very good selection.

I am stating MY experience.

So it is NOT rubbish.

 

  "Don't do it. Retirement is MUCH easier & less hassles."

Your comment was a generalization. You didn't state that you had trouble changing, or trying to change from retirement to marriage. Your statement indicates that all retirement applications-approvals,are difficult & are a hassle. Your experience may have been difficult. BUT, if one follows the guidelines & provides all necessary documents, the application is straightforward & easy. Where are the hassles ???

Yeah, 90 day report still a reality. Mail or online report is the way to go unless you live close to the IO.

The situation here in Sakon Nakhon maybe unique. All staff at the immigration office here are really friendly & efficient. I have successfully done online 90 day report but I don't mind visiting the IO & getting friendly smiles.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

Rubbish. I changed from retirement to marriage a couple of months back. Not an issue. More work for them, but I didn't encounter any problems at all.

Is Sakon Nakhon too far ?  If not, let me know & I'll get you some details of outlet here.

what a daft response. I predicted someone would reply like this. 

 

Obviously Im looking for an member who currently lives and rents in Chiang Mai at the moment. Not a guy sitting on a bar stool in Pattaya.  Local knowledge is the key for accurate information on this topic. 

 

 

thanks

Daft, don't think so. 

You give No idea of your budget. Are you looking for something smart, modern or not too fancy.

Actually sitting watching the rain fall in Sakon Nakhon. Long, long way from Pattaya. Haven't been to Patts for ages. Not my scene.

I would have thought after 400+ posts you might have some idea of how to search the real estate adverts & forums.

Here's an idea for you. http://property.thaivisa.com/     if it's a bit complicated for you, let me know & I'll give you  word by word instructions how to find the site & how to find what you're looking for.

Cheers......   Mal.

Thailand Real Estate Forum

Real Estate, housing, house and land ownership

Real estate, housing, buying a condominium in Thailand. Ask all your practical and legal questions here.

" Feel like Steve Irwin now "  I don't think Steve is feeling much at all right now.

I give mine to one of the little kids tagging along behind their mom.

Very few hotels of reasonable quality will have the fridge power off when leaving the room.

I always carry a power board when travelling. Plug into fridge socket. Plug in fridge power cord, then plug in devices that I want to charge. Camera battery, laptop & the like.

Always have the "do not disturb" sign displayed so cleaning staff stay out.

Works for me.

Just think what a nice surprise it will be when it eventually turns up.

Why don't you ask them what they're using, I'll bet it's locally available?

I'd go one step further. Ask if you can buy a small quantity from them. Worst thing that can happen is ... NO.

But then, I'm a cheeky bugger.

Have you tried Google ?  About a 3 second search came up with  Pattaya rent a car.

"A standard version seats 14 comfortable. My only criticism of the minibus is that the people in the back seats have a much more bumpy ride then the rest.

The minibuses are available with a driver or as self drive so if you wish to rent a minibus in Pattaya when contact us today. Advance booking on these vehicles is highly recommended"

Easy peasy !!!

As I've stated a few times previously ... you could bring a body through customs here ...  just don't declare it.

Recently I asked Qantas about bringing back some frozen meat, they directed me to Aussie customs dept. Aussie customs offered advice on how to pack it, dry ice weight limit & how to apply for necessary paperwork. So, I can't see it being illegal.

Hope this helps.

I hate smoke but what a stupid complaint people smoke any where and everywhere here.  Just try walking next time if it bother s you.

Thai logic here.  Illegal on baht bus, so get off & walk amongst all the legal walking smokers.

While you have the wall opened up you might choose to re-route the piping. Its possible it was routed poorly to begin with and this is part of the issue of it plugging.

Good idea. Also consider increasing the diameter of the pipe if possible.

I've had to break a few floors & walls over the years to eliminate blockages. Considering the time & effort to do, an extra size pipe is good insurance.

Tops, Tesco, Makro, BIG C, pharmacies. Definitely no shortage of them.

Hand tools, maybe. But what about welders, air compressors, cement mixers, scaffolding, jack hammers & the like.

Not every farmer or handyman would want to purchase any of the above for a once or twice a year project.

But, just my opinion.

" Isn't  tool or general rental a business opportunity  in Thailand.    Why  is there a  dearth of them? "

Good question. I have become friends with the manager of a large national hardware chain, & suggested he look into a hire section. I spent a considerable time online showing him how it works in other countries. Initially he thought a good idea & took the idea along with a large amount of data we had obtained online on the subject, to head office. Head office had already researched the hire business in depth. Their only reason not to put into operation ... non return  & damage of the hired item.

They felt, even with copy of hirer's drivers license & signed hire contract & substantial deposit, it would never make money. The cost to repair damaged/misused equipment & employ additional staff to "chase" the return of non returned equipment, would far outweigh any profit that might be generated.

So, I guess that's why no equipment rental in LOS.

  Hey ! NO humour, you'll upset   lostinisaan.

Who mentioned value ? I was stating a fact. I'm well aware of the diluted western product. Less value but much more robust & long wearing for everyday use.

I answered the OP's question, with what I feel is a reasonable idea. YOU have any worthwhile contribution on the topic, "Is it possible to find 10 or 14 carat gold necklaces in thailand" ???

My guess is you would only find  gold as you describe in antique or second hand shops. Thais only like the shiny soft stuff.
