There is a BigC 2min ride from the outlet mall (heading north)

Hi,

If I purchase above some threshold, would BigC deliver the items free (say 4000 baht)?

I was thinking of visiting BigC on Suk. road, near the outlet mall

Cheers

tnx, but I was hoping to get recommendations for specific providers based on first hand experience members might have

Hi

I might need to fax to overseas numbers, and do not have a landline in the condo, nor do I want to rely on fax machines in internet cafes and alike.

1. Is it possible to fax from the mobile phone (I have an AIS sim)?.

2. Any suggestions on a reliable email-to-fax service, namely, where I email the document to some email address and it is then faxed to the overseas number. The service doesnt have to be Thai.

Cheers

Deadest I've seen this place since got here 8 years ago or so.

That's interesting. I've heard its loaded with tourists, particularly Russians & other EE

thanks for the replies.

a 5% appreciation per year is quite common, say, in Europe.

anything like that for Thailand (I am referring to condos in a good location, well maintained, etc.) ?

Cheers

Any info on whether condos appreciate over time (% per year)?.

Main locations I'm considering are BKK, Pattaya/Jomtien, maybe Chiang Mai

Cheers

Dont order from overseas everything is availible here,

My local chemist has all the protein and creatine u will need at a reasonable price,

Sent from my c64

Tnx. can you please provide more details?

On my last visit all I saw in Boots/Lawson etc. was no-name protein powders which were ridiculously expensive. ditto for the creatine.

I was thinking of ordering from iherb myself.

any issues in receiving protein powders?

TIA

has anyone tried ordering from this website: iherb.com

They offer USPS international airmail for parcels up to 4lb (1.8kg) at 4USD.

However, theres no tracking on these USPS deliveries.

bump

anyone?

Mates,

are there inexpensive flights from utapao airport to chiang rai, or am I better off looking for something from Suv. airport of don muang?

thinking of flying somewhere between july to september

Cheers

Tnx all for the replies.

Back to my original question, any additional suggestions for a tradesperson doing tiling and electrical work?

Tnx

tnx Antiwinter.

tiling a ~40sqm condo would take, say, 2 days or about 20 hours of work. for these guys that come to about 8000baht. seems dear

Mates,

I'm thinking of re-tiling a condo & installing new lighting fixtures.

Any suggestions for a tradesperson in Jomtien who knows what they're doing & doesnt charge an arm & a leg for it?

Please PM only

Cheers

Mates,

I'm thinking of doing some renovations in the condo as follows:

re-tiling the floor with 40cmx40cm tiles

re-tiling the bath floor + walls

adding recessed lights + a dimmer in the main room

the condo is around 35 sq.meters

what price quote would be fair for these jobs? I'm trying to avoid being ripped off.

Cheers

Tnx mates

Hi

If I'm selling a condo, can I buy another one with the funds received?

or do I need to transfer the payment received overseas & then back into thailand to receive the tor tor 3 form?

Cheers

agree.

the fried chicken dishes - the amount of meat in there is minuscule.

tnx.

club protein mention on their website their whey is from the US, soy from china (no company mentioned), pea from canada.

tnx.

club protein seems to be insanely cheap. any experience with their products (soy/pea protein)?

are they legit? there have been incidents where shops sold a powder which was a mixture of prortein powder plus something cheaper

Hi,

If I would order sport supplements (protein, creatine, nothing exciting) from a US-based shop, would some hefty duties be imposed by customs/post office?. This just for my own personal use.

The parcel would be sent by regular airmail, not a courier delivery.

Cheers

Mates,

Hope I'm posting in the right forum.

If I order sport supps (protein powders, creatine, nothing exciting) from a US-based shop, will it be inspected by customs with hefty duties imposed?

The package will be sent by regular airmail, not a courier company.

TIA

Tnx mate

Tnx. Is this the home pro branch opposite of homeworks & bigc on suk. road?
