    The second photo you will notice is in thai and may give a clue as to what they are trailing for.If there is

    anyone out there that can read thai I would appreciate it if they could translate and post the result please.

    Disgrace

    You expect another boring thread about the negative aspects of life in Thailand to remain civil !!!

    It's a 'disgrace' that you have even bothered to start this thread...

    Why not just post your thoughts on 1 of the other 236 threads of a similar nature ??

    Buy a duck, that will make you smile :)

    After what feels like a lifetime I am finally heading home to be with my loved ones and to see and hold my little boy for the first time.

    Frontage Land Drain – What am I missing?

    in DIY Forum

    Posted

    You are not alone in your bewilderment...

    We have done it twice now, on 2 separate plots.

    1m diameter concrete pipes !! I even suggested we go with a smaller diameter just to waste a bit less money, nope 'cannot" OBD requires 1m by 'law'...

    The only reason I can see is to stop your own property access getting washed out in a flood.

    1 of our plots has never come close to flooding, in fact I had never seen any sitting water in the ditch ?

    Another case of nothing will change, as like you say 'everybody does it'

    Good luck in your quest for info ???

    They are all great roads to ride, even on a scooter..

    There is a big waterfall as you come into Anong from the south on the left, plus a view point hill on the right.

    Some nice fruit plantations along the roads as well !!

    Have a nice trip and be safe

    Urgent advise required, dire situation.

    'Our advice'... Thanks for letting the OP know how we all feel !!It wasn't a failed marriage by the sound of it, it was a classic scam..2mil might not be a huge sum to you but to others, as in the OP case, it is life savings..Having said that... I really don't think the OP will have any luck getting even 1 sating back, unless the family have a sudden attack of guilt... Not likely...

    Are you claiming your advise would have been to buy the land and pay the sin-sot ??????Anyone who thinks 2Mbht is a lot of money, shouldn't be living in Thailand.

    Just speak for yourself and let others comment what they wish....

    And yes, I would pay sin sod as it is custom...

    Good luck OP

    You have given away approx 2M bht, a marriage and divorce in Oz would likely have cost you more.Not really a large amount of money, my former US wife had 40Mbht off me,I would think of it as a lesson learned, give the ex your best wishes and just walk away.Letting resentment drag on from a failed marriage does nobody any good.Throwing more money after the initial loss, won't make you feel any better.Better luck next time.PSIf you had asked us for advice on the land purchase, we would have said don't do it (or at least marry before land purchase).If you had asked us for advice on sin-sot, we would have said don't pay it.Now you ask for advice and we say, walk away.Our advice is usually pretty good, but for some reason nobody ever listens.

    Help with a used car price?

    in Thailand Motor Discussion

    Posted

    There some for sale here:

    http://www.one2car.com/search/search_result.aspx?Brand=B0031&Model=S0755&Year1=2003&Year2=2005&

    They appear to cost anything from 420-520K baht.

    What to look for in a car like that? Everything, if your friend don't know what to look for, don't buy 2nd hand but new.

    Used cars in Thailand are notoriously know to have the odometers tampered with, bent in an accident, maybe flooded during the big flood, many many pitfalls.

    I would personally rather +100-200 k baht on above price and buy a new car with typically 3 years warranty.

    Unless you buy from a Falang then there won't be the problems mentioned previously, well not if I was selling anyway!!

    Ha ha ha ha ha....

    I bought a Land Cruiser from some 'really nice' missionaries in Zambia once, that was $6500 down the toilet :)
