  1. It was meant more as an open question meaning : how would you invest if you had 6-9 M BHT in the bank.(with annual capital gains in your mind of 7-12 %..)

    I have read here many interesting and crazzy misleading posts and i hope they will continue.

    Fact is that each investment involves risks,And the luck/timing factor with investing matters lots.

    Its clear for me that making little as 7-12% returns is actually much more difficult then most of us probably are thinking.

    I personally would suggest buying small condos easy to maintain and to rent out and smaller condos give better rental returns then big properties.rental returns condos could be 4-8% then if there is value appreciation each year it might work.,cheap condos easier to resell also if in case needs cash.

    Also perhaps buying a boat and or other expensive equipment and rent it out on a day to day basis might work...

    Also i know there are countries like Kenia where the bank gives you 14 % interest and also some banks in India give you 10%.. would it work to split up the 7,000,000 M BHT in parts of 500,000 BHT over many different banks in countries with hight interest offers?

    I understand there is the risk of currencies going up and down but maybe is you divide the 7 M BHT over many banks and countries that risk is not so big.

    Who would know more about this last suggestion?

  2. Have never seen fence panels here, have you thought about Conwood that is not so expensive.

    HI,

    Well yeah its odd that these panels hard to find here..

    Conwood well but the fence needs be atleast 15 meters long by 2 meters height.

    That a big job...

    I think i would only consider if i can find these panels who i can be installed and attached easily...

  3. HI,.

    I have loud and nosey neighbours i probably need more silence and privacy..

    I like to know where i can order these panels for example wide 2 meters by height 2 meters that can make a closed (wall) fence between my garden area and my neighbour their garden area.

    The material can be wood,PVC,Bamboo or some reed kind of material..i look for an inexpensive fix..

    The panels cant be to pricey because i only rent this house for 11 more months..

    I was in Home mart and Home works but nothing was there..

    Hope anyone know something i sure i not the only one with loud and nosey neighbours..

  4. Me thinks Master Flakes is a little precious. This IS Thailand and kids speak Thai even if their parents attempt English, no wurries.

    hahahaah funny comment...and thanks for pointing me out for where i,am.All i can say is that it is often the case that my child plays the best with mixed or farang kids who are able to talk in english..Dont ask me why...So if i put him in a village with only native thai kids talking only their thai language then i can tell u upfront that he wont be happy in that village/condo ok mate..And myself i talk mostly dutch with my child.

  5. Baan Suan Lalana at the end of Jomtien. They have a couple of pools and a children playground, and on occasion, I heared kids speaking English. Usually families coming for a holdiday, not all year round. Their standard 42sqm rooms are somewhat small for 3 people, the corner condos are about 60 sqm, and two or three standard rooms combined are available as well.

    yes its indeed a family resort kind of a place..nice also with the tennis courts..I will look into it..

  6. Does anyone know about Royal hill condotel on thapraya road ..?

    Hard to imagine anyone wanting to live there who isnt stone deaf. Between the deafening 24/7 traffic noise from the road and the building noise from Grande Caribbean on one side (when they start) and Treetops on the other (when they start) it is one of the last places I would want to be over the next couple of years.

    Chateau Dale wont be much better soon thanks to Grande C, which is a shame as until now it was quite a nice place.

    The Grande Caribbean will be low rise near Chateaudale.. (8 floors) The high rise 30 floors will be build on the roadside for seaview

    I doubt if the Grande Caribbean will ever get built. They have been advertising it a lot around town for well over a year but they haven't even dug a hole yet. They are offering a new Cruze car for someone who buys a condo in the Cruze block but i think the car will have rusted away before the condo is finished.

    okay could be but is not my wurries since i dont buy properties offplan anymore and actually in Thailand renting is king for me..On the upside Atlantis is making great progress and i do believe both developments are from the same developer.He probably proceeds with Carabean when atlantis is finished.I would wurry more if i paid deposits to laguna 2 laguna 3 and the maldives the only thing what i see this developer built is huge show units and hanging up his bill boards all over town.Kind of wondering if developers are mentioning a completion date in their agreement because if they exceed their constrution period with more then 12 months u may easely get back u deposits according to the new condominium act.

  7. The Grande Caribbean will be low rise near Chateaudale.. (8 floors) The high rise 30 floors will be build on the roadside for seaview

    That's true, but the construction of a low-rise building makes plenty of noise if you overlook it as will the screams of the ghastly kids in the pool when it's built. And that 30-floor tower will be very evident from Chateau Dale as it's only a couple of hundred yards away.

    I looked at Chateau Dale a couple of years ago and nearly bought there but was put off by the huge empty plot. I am satisfied with my decision.

    Well i hope grande carabean and atlantis will be ready soon as it seems like a nice place for children to live...

    I now looking into pratunak soi 4 New nordic i heared some russian living there with their children attending bilangual school.

  8. I think you would be better looking at a house on a nice village with communal pool/play area. Condos here do not tend to be very big.

    Well we been living in a village for 3 years now...and here also most thai children dont go to an bilangual or an international school so they only talk thai language.

    OK,in the village I live on the majority of kids go to international or bi lingual schools and have at least one foreign parent, but the language I hear in the street when the kids are playing is Thai. This seems to be the way as its the mothers and hence aunts/uncles etc are all Thai so that's their preferred language. My friends kids play near by and all in Thai, when they see me they swap to English for a quick chat then revert to Thai with their friends.

    Yes probably u right but there must be some villages where children talk in english amongst each other

  9. Hi ,

    Would like to rent on Condo/appartment sowhere in Pattaya.

    My only condition is that i look for some family condo /facilities where atleast is living a couple of other families long term with their children that can easely talk in english.

    My son is nine years old and he prefers talk english over thai.

    They may be Russians/Korean/Thai aslong as they go to school in Pattaya either international or bilangual.

    Does anyone know such a building where couple of these children are living 7-12 year of age.

    I can not consider renting a condo where there is no friends for my child to hang out with after school that why i am asking.

    Look forward to some positive feedback..
