StasD

i am building a small home for the wife in isaan..tha kanto/kranuen area,it will be basic just a living room 1 bedroom and 1 western style toilet and shower room, it will be a simple rectangle shape and 9m long by 5m wide, the land is my wifes and it is allready filled etc as her family has home next door. lets say i want only the foundations /walls /plumbing/wiring /roof on and windows in.i will leave tiling /painting/plastering untill i come back next year as im only staying another 2 months.how do i work the payments out with the builder,i spoke to the builder last night and he wants me to buy materials etc,he will do the work,i wont have a clue what type of materials to buy or where,im 60 k from udon thani and around 80k from khon kaen..will i tell the builder i want cavity walls and what type blocks are best..i want to start questions about foundations and walls first and ask questions about plumbing etc as i go along so as to keep it simple and less confusing..i am on a budget and this house is for us to stay in when we come to visit every year it wont be used very often,i have promised my wife a small house and she told her family months ago that i will make one for her so i dont want to lose face and neither do i,i have allready commited myself to it. i asked to see some homes he built allready and he took me right away to a large house he was building for 3 m baht...

you must buy all the materials by yourself, and pay the money to the builder only after finishing the job. Otherwise your house will cost as gold made. It would be better if the builder will not know that the farang is here- the price will doubled immediately at least. I know a lot of my friends here who are unhappy now having been involved in this problem

I was in Green world -no hot water, man's saunf was broken, a lot of ants in restaurant. 1200 baht. Before I had been in Phatad Valley Hot Spring Resort -1400 baht. Really it is too expensive for me. I would like to pay no more than 600-800 baht for room.

I think it would be helpful to visit MONKEY sometimes to feel yourself younger:)

If you license is in english you do not need to translate it. Otherwise you can choose:either got to translate it to your embassy or take driving exams.

As for me the trip to PTT-BKK-PTT for translation would cost me 5000 baht. So I chose to take exam. I got car and moto licenses for about 400 baht.

I spent 1500 baht to trip PTT-Vientiane-PTT ( 1 night in hotel cost 250 baht). I think nobody can make it cheaper:)

it seemes to me there is an international mafia

I suppose that these 2 idiots were supplyed with those cards by some local mobs.

They tryed to get money from SCB

GF has problem- ex-BF wants to get her property.

he obviously wants to find a lawyer who is experienced in Thai/Farang property disputes

i recommend Kuhn Visan, the Attorneys House, Pattaya Nua

he has sorted out similar problems for a number of my friends

Thank you, she called him already. she is satisfyed.

Do yourself a favour StasD, stay well out of it!!

of course it is not my business and not my money. I am not going to be involved. She just wants to talk with a lawyer.

GF Thai?, BF THAI?

GF Thai, BF european

Foreign gang killings here...Russians?

Know of some white skinned 'criminal elements' from back home that reside here long term but they would never do this kind of things...if this is a gangster-event then it is some truly 'hardcore' individuals that needs to be put down pronto.

I think Foreign gang killings here...Englishman?

Maybe it is the time to forget Thai and remember Cambodia? 300USD a year and no more problem

^some do some dont StasD!

Yon want to tell me that young ISAAN girl will sleep with old man out of consideration for his age?

I think Thai men wait for their women with farangs' money

Farangs are getting poorer than before. It won't last long (the 'wait for their women with farangs' money'). Farangs no longer want to be walking ATMs.

if you are old, fat and want to get young Thay lady anyway you will pay for it.

Germans were better.

maybe somebody know addresses? thank you in advance

now I sell it -can see on classifieds and pattaya pattaya trader. and I have 10 000 usd in cash - wanna bet?

I just talked with her. He sent some mone to her via bank to her account. But 3 years ago. What about this money?

I am extremely skeptical of this story.

I am not sure about 20 000 000 -two houses about 550m2 with about 5 Rai of land. Each about 10 000 000 baht. Maybe less maybe more.

so u live in this man's house StasD?

yes but for me it would be cheaper rent a condo. Actually there is a lot of expenses. Now she wants to sell it ot lend.

Most Thai girl's are so money centric he must have been pretty bad 4 her to leave. Strange story!

he offered her 3 000 000 baht if she would come back. She refused. Girls are different too. She lived in Europe 20 years

A gift is a gift isnt it ?........unless there is more to it than shes telling, have you spoken to him ?.wouldnt hurt would it, tell him what a lovely time you are both having on his money,.......

He speaks German I speak English, Ich spreche Deutsch wenig. I do not have his money. We are living on my money completely. But I spent my money for ex-wives and ex -girls and never asked them to give me back. I think if you spend money for girls you must understand that life is life and can be happened everything does not matter who is rigth or wrong and you will never get the money back. better think how to make more money
