Hi John

I have been looking for containers my self.

I faxes these people http://www.containerconstruction.com/en/catalog.php?idp=9

They offered the following

I've got your fax required 20' dry container 2 nos and 1 nos of 40' dry container this morning.

Please note below price

20' = 35000/nos

40' = 46000/nos

I then visited them, The containers I were offered were about 40% good, they had come to the end of there working life.

I now plan to try and buy s/h containers direct from the shipping / haulage companies, Laem Chabang, Chonburi I believe is the best place to search, I understand that there are several companies from Chonburi, that list in Yellow Pages,

Good luck if you find anything please let me know, and vice versa

Fireflyz is having problems with its on line booking service, alot of people have tried to book on line using a credit card and the transaction does not seem to process, There website does not accept payment nor decline it. Neither is there any ticket confirmation.

I believe that in some cases money has actually been debited from peoples cards.

I was advised to turn up at the airport and insist that fireflyz staff check if money has been debited, etc, and take it from there. Forget about calling there call centre the number is either constantly engaged or there is no answer.

I have also discussed this with a travel agent on Koh Pha Ngan who has registered as a Fireflyz agent, she tells me that she is very frustrated that she also can not make any booking on line booking at present either.

I really do hope that they can sort out these glitches, as the Samui to Penang service is a blessing for many tourists and expats who stay in this area.

I just remembered

The Kids are alright??????????????

The song remains the same?????????????

MM

Zep and the Who both made films (Tommy and Quadrophenia excluded) I cant remeber the names but the Who film was the better of the two,wish I could remember the names

MM

Might I point out the first rule of TV:

1) You will not use thaivisa.com to post any material which is knowingly or can be reasonably construed as false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, referencing prostitution (including bargirls and barboys), referencing suicide, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law.

This thread matches none of the above, the whole tone of this thread is of people discussing a subject in a very intelligent and adult manner, I for one have enjoyed it immensley, lets keep it this way, this is Thai Visa at its best.

MM

was wondering if it is legal to own or possess a gun in Thailand? Not just for personal use , but for for a business as well.

Joey

What type of business are you in?

MM

although i wanted to be jagger for quite a few years ,

Do you want to talk about it?

MM

motorhead on their day were pretty good too.

Motorhead improved after spending some time in america.

However I have very fond memories of there bomber tour, aswell as the Ace of Spades tour.

Whatever hapened to Girl School and the Nolans?

MM

P.S. Lemmy is a star

The Who

In 1970 The Who released Live at Leeds, which is thought by many to be the best live rock album of all time

In 1976 The Who played a concert at Charlton Athletic Football Ground which was listed for over a decade in the Guinness Book of World Records as the loudest concert ever.

Dear Scouse,

Many thanks for yor input, it makes complete sense.

MM

Namuang,from lamai ,heading to Nathon ,just past Hua Thanon a couple of kilometers,past the temple with the mummified monk.

On the left or right?

MM

Good news for the visa impaired members.

I have never been to Samui and may try a trip from Penang.

MYR400 is a good price, mind you Air Asia will get me to Bangkok for the same money.

MR 400 I hope that is return

MM

Hammehead marne are alive and kicking call Lee on0896457475 or Ben on 0860272857 they may be able to help you.

MM

My vote goes to THE ROLLING STONES

shoulder to shoulder with the

THE WHO

cause they really did behave like a rock n roll band, throwing tellys outa windows, smashing guitars up on stage etc and driving cars into swimming pools

MM

Mozzieman - if you'd read the whole thread you'd see I was repeating what another forum member wrote (i.e. "only farm in Thailand if that is what you want to do.....").

MF

Maizefarmer with the greatest respect I have read your OP several times and no point in it do I see any indication that another forum member wrote

... and the golden rule: only farm or get involved in agriculture in Thailand if that is what you want to do - there are a thousand other things to do here that can make a lot more money with a lot less work.

I took these to be your thoughts.

Please correct me if I have made an error.

MM

I think BKK is probably the best place for this,

I would visit Pratunam market or Bo Beh (perhaps some one can correct the spelling) both are whole sale markets for clothes and have machinists on site.

Good luck

MM

Where abouts on Samui is Namuang?

MM

There are many people who work at the full moon party to look after the party goers including medics, radio hams, lifeguards, navy, volunteers who clean the beach (I have always wondered why volunteers have to clean the beach this should be paid for) and of course the police.

I have several friends who work at the Amphur and on FMP they have to work at the full moon party to help manage the crowds.

However I do think more could be done, the FMP is a money spinner for Haad Rin, the traders themselves may not be making that much money, but the landlords are commanding sky high rents, perhaps they should contribute more, because with out the FMP they would not have these rents.

It is also worth noting that there are a significant number of party goers who go completely over the top and behave in the most irresponsible, primative and reckless fashion and pay the price, sometimes the ultimate price, and leave it to the over stretched rescue services to pick up the pieces.

Personal responsability has to come into the equation.

MM

The number of workers and visitors who stood looking and asking why is there so many wires for the lights has been highly amusing. I am beginning to think my house is the only one in Laos with individual lighting radials!!

Sounds like you have been very thorough

Does this mean you have run a cable back to the consumer unit for each individual light circuit in your house, and have you then put each individual light circuit on its own breaker?

MM

Can any one tell me who the most debt ridden nation on this planet is?

MM

A topic ripe for controversy.

So Maizefarmer how about something more constructive, tell us about the thousands of other possibilities for making a living in Thailand.

... and the golden rule: only farm or get involved in agriculture in Thailand if that is what you want to do - there are a thousand other things to do here that can make a lot more money with a lot less work.

I am all ears (or eyes in this case) too

MM

Why? Ban members for what for the Why

Banned for asking too many questions

By the way Kan Win how did you manage to get a " " to appear next to the date and time on your post

MM

Happy Hammer,

Thanks for the link brought a tear to my eye and made me feel a little home sick looking at Ewood Park as it used to be.

Not so sure about the haunting piano music he has chosen to acompany the footage, it reminds me of the type of music they use to play on documentaries about a nuclear holocaust (the scenes after the explosion)

MM

Why ?

Kan Win banned for daring to ask why

MM

leaving aside genghis khan and whether he did or didnt conquer the arabian peninsula , does anybody have any information about the two thais that were executed , did anybody pick anything up in the thai press?

Nothing at all, I wonder why?
