  2. These guys, the spainards included, took the money, bought a fleet of mercedes and range rovers and recently could not pay their staff. Yes, they told their staff "sorry we can't pay you now" Next to Icon bar in rawai there is a location that these idiots wanted to construct a helicopter landing pad, all on borrowed money. The Yacht club is FOR SALE. Any reasonable company would jump at the the purchase but their balance sheet is so out of whack it will never happen unless for pennies on the dollar.

  3. I brought 2 dogs back and forth with me, it is easy, their shots must be current and thats pretty much it. I used a company called air animal who will arrange everything, including door to door service and a stopover in germany which has facilities for the dogs to take a break before the next flight back to the states. be prepared to pay though, 2 dogs was +5k usd each way, but like I said you are assured they are looked after.

    there is no quarantine in the USA unless Hawaii.

    You will need an FAA approved kennel for them, which the above company can arrange.

  4. as I recall, the airport may be "open" but everything on the inside is closed, and I doubt you would be allowed in to the departure area for a flight in the morning. You'd end up bored and most likely in the arrival waiting area.

  5. I will offer a truthful 2 cents to this thread.

    Before I came to thailand I spent a great deal travelling around, a lot in south america, europe, eastern europe, and thought I pretty much seen it all. That was until I came to thailand. Pattaya specifically. I met a girl there, at a bar who really latched on to me and me to her. We had a great time, I spent the rest of my time with her and her only. I returned home and we kept in close contact.

    I would send her money and I returned to thailand 3 times before deciding to move here. There were many things about her that didn't add up and because of my prior travels I knew she was full of it. Not answering her phone when I called only for her to turn up a few hours later on IM telling me phone has no baht, cant call you back, etc. I KNEW dam_n well she was out "working" and probably had 10 other guys she was doing the same thing to. I didn't care.

    So I came again so we could find a house. I met her family in Buriram, I didn't give them any money aside from a couple k to her sister so she could go work in bangkok at a "department store". Everything was peachy. We got along great. This relationship was kind of a fling to me, if it worked it worked, if not, that would be ok too as my expectations were not very high as you can see in the above paragraph.

    So we move in together. This is when my living hel_l began. I could not go to 711 with out being accused of cheating on her. I had made farang friends by now and could not step foot out of the house with them either. I was starting business here, looking at condos, and even bought a car in her name out of being naive.

    When I would leave to go out without her towards the end I came home and she slit her wrists, not once, but on two occasions. She had called the police accusing me of doing it to her. So in the end I told her to take the truck and cool off back home. I went to bed relieved. The next day she called "honey soo sorry blah blah. I assumed she was still driving back home so I asked where she was. She was at the airport, brand new truck was sold for 1/3 what it was worth. Again, "sooo sooorrry". I told her never to call me again. Of course she kept calling and calling. I never answered.

    Moral of the story is what seems like the perfect gf/wife on holiday can turn into something completely different once you're here full-time together.

    And this is like 10% of story.

    ps:not only thais but other farangs you have to watch for here. Lost over 3mil baht to a farang here as well. You live you learn.

  6. my second business here, I built a small 3meterx3meter concrete food "shack", fully equipped for about 200,000 baht in total investment. I built the mini-restaurant located outside of a very busy bar. It makes around 25k a month which isn't much, but on your budget done 4 or 5 times over you'd be making a decent amount.

    alternatively, I would rent a shop house and live above your business. To save baht.
