My 4 year old has been going to Satit for a couple of years and loves it. The students get well looked after - the important bit - but I would agree the English teaching is not the best. Suggest paying a little extra for English lessons after school somewhere else.

I have lost the phone number/address of the people in BKK who do the 're-chipping' of ECU's - can anyone help ?

An interesting report from the UK - not very impressive :

For difficult health insurances (and every other type of insurance ) try AA Insurance Brokers down in Pattaya - very helpfull - ask for Wanna or Neng both speak English 038 415 795

AA Insurance is 038 415 795 and email : info @aainsure.net

Their (ThaiSri) local Broker is AA Insurance - next to Big C, South Pattaya.

Very good service, ask for Khun Wanna. They will also offer quotes from other good insurance companies - AXA, QBE etc.

There's a very good beauty/massage shop called "Freshy" for Male & Females on Soi Greenway for those living the other side of the highway.

If you're on the highway heading south, turn left at the Grenway driving range - now has a 7/11 on the corner (suprise) - go over the railway line and it's about 300 metres on the left.

On my way to the beach this morning saw equipment at Regatta site.

That's because they have all the necessary permits to build !

Yes please, for the wife and I .................

Cheers

What I found interesting is that you received any answer at all! I have sent e-mails to each of the firms that you have acknowledged and never got a reply. So, consider yourself lucky.

We at Sunbelt strive to be the best in the industry with service. Six people work in our office with the title of clients relations. Their ONLY responsibility is to answer e-mails. One of the most frustrating heart-burning situations is reading in the forum when an e-mail has not been answered Our mgmt have the staff keep all outgoing e-mails stored on the hard drive. Many times we have found that the response was put in spam folder by the recipients ISP. Please be sure to check that folder. Feel free to PM us as well.

I was surprised that Sunbelt quoted prices! One of the things that I have been trying to obtain is a price to 'Draft a Land Lease Agreement'. At least you received a quote. I would be very happy to pay the quoted price for a Draft Agreement but when you cannot get a response it is difficult trying to 'do business'

We always quote the price. It is on our public site as well

http://www.lawyer.th.com/fees.asp

Agreement : Land/House Purchase Agreement 18,500

In my particular situation I am located outside Bangkok. This could be the primary reason I do not get responses. Apparently the firms mentioned do not want to do business with a client that is not in Bangkok.

We service clients throughout Thailand and are committed to doing so. We also have legal offices in Chaing Mai and Pattaya. Everyday clients are flying in from all parts of Thailand to meet us but

in the next two weeks, our legal office will be opening as well in Phuket Town at the Royal Phuket Business Center, next 30- 60 days three other Sunbelt Legal offices in Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Udon Thani will be opening.

who has been through setting up a lease recently

* what did you pay and what for what services/deliverables

* which company(ies) assisted you

* what was your experience with them like

If you need references from our clients that have this done this 30 year lease, no problem. Many clients that have had their lease problems solved, no longer have the need to read this Thaivisa.com topic.

After securing the services of a Bangkok lawyer and several trips, I now posess a bonafied 30 year lease with a 30 year option. The lease is very detailed both in Thai and English. It can be easily modified to fit your particular needs. I'm not giving it away but could be persuaded for a fraction of what it cost me.

You should be aware that contracts of lawyers are intellectual property and are under copyright. Many law offices use a boilerplate but every case we have found is unique and modifications have to be made.

I tried to obtain a price from Sunbelt Asia only to be given the run around.

I had to increase the capital from 1. to 2m on my company for a Work Permit and saw Sunbelt Asia's price on the web which I thought good - but it turned out too good ! When I eventually managed to talk to their office and get a quote their final price was 10,308 Baht of which they said 5,600 Baht was Government fees (?) - nonsense !

I have now manage to find a well respected firm in Pattaya who did everything for 6,000 Baht !

From the BKK Post :

Utid Tamwatin, the Excise Department director-general, said the new structure did not affect tax rates on white spirits, given the government's policy to encourage rural community producers.

Does that mean Vodka stays the same price .............. ?

Best I've found for Medical Insurance is :

AA Brokerage Co.Ltd.,

434/37, Building A,

View Talay 2 Condo,

Jomtien, Banglamung,

Tel : 038 250 089

Tel : 038 303 072

E-mail : [email protected]

Web : www.aainsure.net

Don't supose we can one ( party that is ! ) in Pattaya sometime ..............

Would suggest going to a good broker - AA Insurance brokerage about the best we've found try 038 250089 or 038 303072

The good news from Bangkok is that the Brits only (?) have to earn 45,000 Baht - not like their European cousins 50,000 Baht

Try AA Condo in Jomtien - 038 303072 - for good quality inexpensive condos
