Hi All,

On a recent trip to Pattaya i couldn't help but notice many new Condominium projects going up in Pattaya, Naglua and Jomtien.

I noted that they all with out exception already have or are being installed with single split air conditioning units for cooling the rooms, so in total their must be many many thousands of single split air conditioning systems being installed.

This just raised a question in my head to which is the largest air conditioning company in the Pattaya/Jomtien region who supply's and fits the single split air conditioning systems in the new condo's?

Is there a dominant air conditioning company in the Pattaya region?...which is the biggest?

best regards

Also, the US has an economic engine like no other country, absolutely ruling high tech, and being huge with lots of natural resources. For instance, the US has more oil reserves than all of the rest of the world combined. It is set to pass Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer within a couple of years, then become oil independent by 2020, and shortly after become a net exporter of oil.

...then the blackmail by the Arab oil producing nations will hopefully stop.

Tell em to ram it!

I'm looking for an inverter aircon myself. Checked the aircon shop at Nongprue intersection and they gave me the well researched answer that they are "more expensive".

Can anyone recommend an aircon shop that carries such aircons AND is able to install AND maintain them?

I have been recommended the D brand as the best since sliced bread. Now I read here that they are probably not that good. Any brand recommendations? The aircon is for a warehouse so I don't really care about noise etc.

if the aircon is for a warehouse with most probably a continous even demand of cooling capacity why would you select an inverter unit?

inverters work only economically if the demand varies a lot. if that is not the case an inverter equals wasted initial investment and with time exponentially higher repair cost.

If for a warehouse application your supposition that an even demand of cooling makes inverters more economical does not make sense.

Lets assume the warehouse does not have insulated panelling it will have large heat ingress especially if the doors are frequently opened by employees.

Inverters are proven energy saving technology and wether even demand or high cooling demand in a warmer climate like Thailand will definitely offer energy savings over a conventional "on off" cycling compressor especially if a larger system like a VRV system is required which might be the case with a ware house.

the EU needs Britains money plain and simple!

5 Billion pounds a year shortfall is not something the Germans and French will laugh at to make up by increased EU contributions if Britain leaves the European Union, with all due respect Mr Naam!

5 advantages of the U.K being a member of the EU...anyone?

1. Non-tariff barrier-free access to the world's largest single market.

2. Free movement benefits to labour market.

3. EU-wide patent registration.

4, One set of rules for businesses wishing to expand on the continent, not 27.

5. Increased UK FDI.

6. Free movement benefits to the individual.

7. Fairer regulation of energy and telecoms prices.

8. Deregulation of air travel and increased consumer protection.

9. ERASMUS exchange programme.

There's a lot more.

1. Non-tariff barrier-free access to the world's largest single market....the majority of British exports go out of the European Union, HOWEVER...the European Union as usual has an accounting scam to inflate the figures whereby they will inform you that British Exports are over 50% to the EU and we would lose hundreds of thousands of jobs if we left, they are liars the true figure is approx 37%.

The accounting trick the EU uses is called the "ROTTERDAM EFFECT" and this is how this EU scam works,

The port of Rotterdam is the worlds 4th largest port and the largest in Europe, when British goods are exported by ship and are in "transit" through Rotterdam port on their way to the USA, the Far east, Australia and the rest of the World the EU count the transit goods as "imported" into the EU even though the goods final destination is other parts of the world...very honest of the EU ?

2. Free movement benefits to labour market...Haha, this has been a one way street of uncontrolled open door mass immigration into the UK and destroyed non skilled or low skilled British workers chances of getting jobs as the competition from immigrants who will work for lower wages has edged them out...these immigrants are also legally allowed to claim benefits from the British Government even though they have never paid a penny into the tax system thereby increasing taxes for the British population.

3. EU-wide patent registration...I would class this as part of the business sector where the disadvantages outweigh the advantages...The EU burdens businesses with extra regulations and costs estimated by £150 Billion pounds each year from "regulation, direct fiscal payments or resource "misallocations"

4, One set of rules for businesses wishing to expand on the continent, not 27...One "set of rules", how many is that?

5. Increased UK FDI....you got to be kidding me, Ford motors have just left the UK with the loss of over and are transferring manufacturing to Turkey, a non-EU Country and the EU funded the move The EU have granted Ford a loan of 190 million Euros in order to move its factory from Britain ti Turkey, This is clearly a bribe to ensure that the Turks hold a positive view of the EU, much like what has taken place in Croatia.

6. Free movement benefits to the individual...Haha, Ditto point 2.

The EU is bad for Britain, the EU needs Britains money plain and simple!

So the answer so far is nobody knows if a 4 or 5 star hotel in Pattaya does a Saturday Free flow wine brunch or lunch whatever you wish to term it?

Seem's maybe a business opportunity here?

Hi All,

Anybody know if any of the 5 or 4 star hotels in Pattaya do a Saturday Brunch with Free flow wine and beer?

Their are several hotels that do a Sunday brunch but cant find any that do a Saturday Brunch?

best regards

They steal 18-20% of the countries G.D.P. and then want to tax any small pleasure. We wait and wonder!

...and tax legitimate Falang businesses and give no benefit back!

Down right out and out Fxxxxxx legal thievery.

Dont sweat , around 3% percent of the vat if memory serves me right

Hi N47HAN,

Can you please confirm that figure of 3%?

Before i go and answer bangkokney's list of 9 err "advantages' of the U.K being in the European Union i wish to inform TV forum members that the European Union has a huge propaganda budget to promote the E.U.

This takes the form of place men and women planted in University's and colleges in the form of Jenner "professors" to indoctrinate young people, to their own EU TV station, newspapers and other forms of media adverts, to internet surveillance of forums that have eurosceptic comments and contributions that are eurosceptic like mine on Thaivisa.

Listed are a small sample of the EU propaganda machine you are up against backed by a 250 Million Euro spend "every year" on the EU promoting itself.

George Orwells book 1984 and Hitlers Nazis propaganda machines have nothing on this lot.

The EU spends 250 Million Euros every year promoting itself.

5 advantages of the U.K being a member of the EU...anyone?

from the perspective of an average continental European there are only disadvantages having the United Kingdom as a member state.

That only demonstrates how stupid the average continental European is (not that any other average person is much brighter).

Britain is (on 2011 figures) the third largest net contributor to the EU budget after Germany and France and so helps to support all the useless unproductive tin-pot little countries like Greece with its EUR220B bail-outs that it will never repay, and its perpetual budget deficits.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9643193/EU-budget-who-pays-what-and-how-it-is-spent.html

If the EU were to expel the UK then that would just mean that Germany and France would have to cough up even more to fund the loser states, and I'm not sure they would be delighted to do so. (Given France's huge pension-funding problems, I'm not sure they would even be capable of doing so.)

it is an established fact that the IQ of a citizen of the British Empire is a multiple of the IQ of an average continental European.

I don't think Kittenkong was referring to any comparisons of intelligence just that France and Germany want Britain to stay in the European Union purely because of one selfish reason.

And that reason is that if the U.K leaves the EU France and Germany will have to pay more...its all about the money!

Oh their is much more the European Union don't want you to know!

I count myself lucky i live in Thailand also.

Don't tell anybody, the cheapest beer in town can be found at NIDA Bar in Soi Bhuakhou, 35 baht for an ice cold Chang Export. Can anybody beat that, it has to be a proper bar, not private small shop or 7/11.

How about a large Chang (non-Export) for 50B? That's very nearly twice the size of your 35B bottle.

But it is on the darkside.

What kind of sausage? There's a thousand different types you know, every country, including Thailand, have their speciality. A dog isn't just a dog!

Thanks for the help Phil, I'm particularly looking for English (style) sausages for a breakfasts. I apolagize for not making the topic title more evident, but I thought my OP would have cleared matters up.

PS, what have dogs got to do with sausages???

Buzz at Dillingers Famous Sausages...makes them by hand now but upcoming artisan eatery coming soon.

According to your name, your ancestor may have been roman emperors...?

I am European and i agree with you. Europeans would very much like the British get out of the EU.

So Mr European Union lover,

Give me 5 advantages of Britain being in the European Union?

Hi onthemoon,

Apologies if my original post was not clear.

What happened is I didn't pay the vat of 10,500 Baht.

.

How strange business??? 150.000 is being paid, but NOT 10.500 baht... WHY??

Is it not ONE INVOICE with ONE TOTAL AMOUNT????

Glegolo

I am sorry glegolo but i haven't a clue what you are talking about?

It is 1 invoice.

Hi All,

This is the first time this has happened to us and through various reasons Vat was not paid on time on 1 tax invoice and is now late for payment by 1 month.

The invoice was for 150,000 Baht plus 7% Vat - 10,500 Baht.

Total 160,500 Baht.

Question?

What are the current penalties for late payment of Vat in Thailand on this invoice?

Thanks in advance for any input.
