I got one from the local Sheriff Dept and it was good enough.

Most of the Government schools all have illegal software, and would guess that most of all the government offices are the same. they really see nothing wrong with this.

I got my two in Bangkok, from a private owner. He is in thaisecondhand and bahtsold. It will be another year before I let my female breed, but he has some nice dogs. He has family in Ubon, and travels there sometimes, so maybe will deliver.

The new builder, so far, has done a great job. He seems to be a good builder, and takes pride in his work, as well as his workers doing quality work. There are some good honest Thai builders, but like always the bad ones are in the news more.

New builder started, open the bottom of house to find 6 inches of water, leaks everywhere. the drain pipe was a mess, running both ways, in a 1 1/2 inch pipe,

the new builders seems to understand things better, seems to be doing a much better job at plumbing, main water line under house 1 inch, a main trunk for the drain 3 inch, divided like it should be. hooking the vents up to the pipe and ect. much better job so far.

still waiting on court with the low life one

It is just hard to believe that the 100 baht fines did not work

Went there today, change of menu, burgers and hot dogs, open on weekends. Nice fellow, very friendly

I have a extensoin now, this is my third year here. so understand it now. thanks

OK, I thought I read it somewhere on here but can not find it. I have a Retirement visa with a multiple entry, I am getting ready to visit the US for a vacation. I have to extend my stay in December, when I leave and come back will it give me another year then or do I have to do it in December also? thanks

Harley prices are out of this world. If you want a good custom bike, try VSmotorspattaya, nice folks to do business with.

Probably no use but as I visited with Nok (my Thai builder friend), If we can be of assistance, You only have to ask,Mike

Dave (I can be bribed to say anything for Leo )

Understand, you cheap charlie thanks, we will see what comes down the road. The wife know his uncle, talked with him yesterday, he wants to talk to the nephew and get it settled with the wife without court.

Good luck, mate! Let's just hope you're NOT discovered in a rubber tree plantation blown to smithereens.

You mean the wife, it is her suit but understand what you are saying.

Well based on my experience you got a tough one, I think I said four years mistake actuall three now, just feels like four. But, we didn't take the house. He only had 400 K of our money another 1.1 still do. He sold the house to his next mark and they ended up waling selling in a year at a loss just to get out.

We took the money we owed him and bought a new one in a track. Larger and much nicer then one that was built. Sounds like you had a lot more in yours then I did. Going to take sometime for you to see money, if ever.

I had the lawyer meet with the builder three days after the completion date at the house. Day prior I went to the sight tool photos with a picture of that day newspaper. Really helped, also got a copy certified from the guy who bought the house. He sold it for the original price and kept my 400 K. I think that was what sealed the deal for us.

So it's in appeal now, we can ride it out as we had already had a new place to live. Good luck.

One thought for you Thai court it my case, are a bit different you just get up and tell your story for the most part. At least that is how it went for mine. Remember it's Thailand be polite sonlt use phraes like he is a theif, that will come out in the story. be prepared to get a good translator. more then liley they will be challenged. He will probably parade every worked that ever had been on the sight who are goign to say exactly what they are told to say.

Remember hearsay is the same here, so any first hand witnesses you have will really help. Problem with e-mail it's going to be hard to prove he ever received them. So be prepared for that. do yourself a time line hard to remember details in court it will help you. If he responded via e-mail be sure to print out his responses as well.

Good Luck

It is the wife that has to talk, she is the one sueing, and being sued, not me. Most of the workers that were used on site were from the village, so they will be on our side not his. Kind of hard to fight pictures, and voice recording. On the emails, got a received tag on each of them, just so he could never say he did not get them. the wife is writing everything up now so that she can remember everything.

thanks

I filed against a builder four years ago, still in court on the first appeal. I can lose or get back 400K so it could be a lot worse. Left the house.

Moved into a track home and mofidied the way I wanted it. I made every mistake you could possibly make. He only made one but it was a big one. Didn't finish the home in the specified time frame. That is the only thing we filed on, he lost and it's in appeal now. I anticpate the last appeal after this.

I will never build a house here or anywhere else again. This was so much more simplier. Modification wasn't that difficult to get completed. Not worth it to me.

Yeah that is what we filed on, he packed up his crew and left without finishing did not say a word. Now in his suit he claims he was done. we have several emails to him concerning thngs not done or needing to be repaired. Wife even has a recording of him acknowledging he was not done, and that we might want to use the 120K of his left to get some of the things fixed ourselves.

Well went to court yesterday, lawyer filed in this court for 300000 baht that was the limit, cause it was quicker to get into. The new builder came in with a price to fix everything at over 700000 baht, I kept asking the wife and lawyer why are we not going for all, they just said this court faster ?? Well in the builder showed with a lawyer asked how much we would settle for, we asid 300000 he said no way will fight it. they then did a suit on the wife for 120000 baht for the final fee on the contract, saying the house was done. They said there was nothing wrong with the house. And question why we were only asking for 300000 baht when the bill was 700000 baht. so court as put off until November. I again questioned why we were not going after all, and the lawyer finally said yes we should, but it could be a year to get into court, I said that is fine. So now we are going to go for the entire 700000 baht.

The the lawyer is going to write a letter to the school, questioning why he performed his business on school property, using school assets, and school students, saying we will file against the school also. Then he is going to have him investaged by the Tax people, and something to do with his license? I asked the wife why all of this other, and it seems that the builder was rude to him so he is mad.

He is going to request books and receipts on the building funds, becuse the builder told the wife that he used our money on his house that is why he ran out of money.

then with the materials that he took from the proptery during the build and at the end, the lawyer told us to file a police report for theft.

I have 2 questions in all of this is;

1. If the petition is illegal / not valid / not in accordance with protocol etc. as some are saying, then why is the governemnt asking people to remove their names from it should they feel the need to do so and why is the Royal Household prepared to accept it at the gate of the Palace?

2. Why isn't it being ignored as it should be if it is illegal / not valid / not in accordance with protocol etc?

Any simple explanations please.

Simple, everyone just ignores the laws, they really mean nothing, look around, children are taught to just ignore the law if it is not accommodating to them.

Just now doing a wall, I pay 1250 baht per 2 1/2 meter section for labor, I bought all materials, 50 meter of wall will be about 60000 baht. I hired the local village people, doing an OK job.

There is a company that does prefab walls, they are about the same price. http://www.readyfence.biz/bumrung.htm

Just a quick update on this, I have hired an attoney, we are scheduled for court in Aug.

The roads in the south of Thailand, specifically, south of Hua Hin are much better than In Issan. Unfortunately the drivers are MUCH worse than Issan drivers. On a recent trip from Loei to Krabi, I saw no accidents from Loei to Cha Am. I only drive during day light hours. From Hua Hin to Krabi, I saw one motorcycle driver crushed by a truck, two more motorcycles down on the highway. The riders had been taken away. A bus that had collided with a pick up and another pickup wrapped around a tree. Not only the accidents but the bad driving is quite noticeable.

the drivers in Issan are by far the worst in thailand. I have drove in the south by Hua Hin, up north and by pattaya, but I live here and they are by far worst. My wife goes to school here and the visiting teachers make the same comment.

I have been having this problem for the las 2 weeks now, just moved to a new house, and it started. connection looks good, but just everything just goes dead.

I just us my US license without translated, in Pattaya, here I got a 5 year with a medical certificate and Non Imm Visa plus residence certificate from Immigration.

Last year a friend talked to a guy in Phuket who said he brought a soft tail Harley to Thailand for less than $1000 duty...how could he have done that?

Thanks.

Parts maybe? but then trying to get a book, would be about another 80K
