There was recently a long establish bar here that was given away, and I mean, literally, given away for no money, with the owner practically begging anyone interested on behalf of his staff that would be out of work, should no one take over the bar's expenses.

Comparing a bar (or any other business) to a residential property is irrelevant since the market dynamics are completely different. People need a place to stay, while going to a bar, for most people, represent non-essential expenses which will be the first to be axed in dire financial times. I wouldn't buy a bar or anything similar anywhere in Thailand ever, irrespective of the financial climate. But a residence is something different.

I doubt there will 37-41 sqm studios in VT2A/B going for 1M or less. They were going for about 1.6M 2-3 years ago so a 40% doesn't make sense, even with the strong Baht and the Covid19.

I'm guessing 1.4M, give or take say 0.5M, is currently where most deals are settled.

I doubt it. People chat and details always circulate.

Thanks, so as I've mentioned a Thai Skype number is currently not an option.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Thanks. Would you know if these are the prices they actually get sold at?.

Hi,

Anyone staying long term there? what's the studio unit buy/sell market there now?

Cheers

Thanks.

What I want is similar to a Skype number: people can call from their "normal" phone and it's forwarded on the internet to a "soft phone" (skype or a similar app).

I've checked skype before posting and they don't list Thailand:

Where did you see they do?.

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a "virtual" Thai phone number so that calls to that number could be forwarded to a Skype account or to a VOIP account at low rates.

Any suggestions on an inexpensive provider for such a service?.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

To clarify - I'm looking for an accountant to handle tax payment on rental income (Thai properties obviously).

Hi,

Is it possible for a non-working farang to obtain a bank collateral loan where the collateral is a condo owned by the farang? if so, what are the restrictions?.

Any particular bank which is more farang-friendly regarding such loans?.

Cheers

Thank you. I know how to use google.

I was asking about suggestions, i.e., based on personal experience.

Cheers

Basically I'm after an accountant to handle my tax returns.

Any suggestions?

bump.

DM: What about transfers to Australia? any additional countries to be added?.

Cheers

Any updates on this service? are they still in business?.

Cheers

Apologies...CPA is a Certified Public Accountant.

I'm looking for an accountant to handle tax returns/declarations.

Hi,

I'd appreciate suggestions for a CPA in Jomtien/Pattaya, preferably with properties-related experience.

Thanks

Thanks. Where did you see they sell virtual numbers? also, they seem to be geared to the business sector and not private consumers.

Cheers

Hi,

I want to purchase a Thai "virtual" number which would forward the call to whatever phone number I specify (domestic or overseas).

I would like this to be a pay-as-you-go setup where I topup credit and the virtual number remains active as long as there are sufficient funds - I don't want a monthly subscription setup.

Preferably the provider based in Thailand.

Any suggestions?.

Thanks

Hi.

If a condo has been disconnected from electricity due to unpaid bills, is it possible to pay them + the reconnection fee at the PEA shop at BigC in central pattaya ?.

Cheers

Thanks Sunnyboy ^.

I don't think I eat all that much, but I'd be happy to learn of Thai options for a healthy meal.

Do you maintain a website with recipes?

Cheers

Thanks ^

Now that you mentioned it I recall a Ukranina shop staff said they use lots of buckwheat, so it that might explain the Ukranian food selection.

Would Friendship also carry dates and similar dried fruit? which branch are you referring to?

Cheers

Hi,

I cook with buckwheat, dates, and other western grains/fruits/pulses but they don't seem to be available in bigc/tesco or are ridiculously high priced.

Any suggestions where can these be found at a reasonable price?.

Cheers

How about this one:
