Does anyone know if there is a car ferry service to Koh Samui? also where it leaves from if there is one?

Would help also any recommendations for a 3 :4 night stay on the Island in a 3 or4* hotel .

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the cost ( fine) is for 1 month late in submitting Annual Company accounts? please

SUSPENDED !! as from 30th April so do not bother to download . All U.K. channels have been suspended see website!

I have 2 HiMax True visions boxes at the moment 1) has a gold subscription card and is conected to lounge TV + 2 bedrooms. The other box has non subscription card but can watch Thai channels.( patio)

If I buy a HD Box with a gold subscription for the HD channels for the main lounge TV, discontinue gold card for ordinary True visions box, can I take out the HD Gold card & put it into an ordinary True Visions box ( Patio ) & continue to watch the same programme, albeit not in HD format, but that is o.k.?

Is this possible please?

Thx for your help!

Great news lets hope it comes off. Especially for us guys who live in Pattaya I think many of us who enjoy formula 1 will support this .

Thank you Farang Buddha

I have an Electrolux Dishwasher just out of warranty. Electrolux want 10 K TH.B. to replace the printed circuit board. The fault is not major just will not switch on! Problem is Electrolux like many big companies cannot be bothered to repair the Circuit board just want to replace the whole unit at megga cost.!! can anyone please help in giving me some info.. of a small time whiz repair shop, in Pattaya area, that could possibly replace a component on the board, rather than change the complete board? Help would be appreciated! Thx.

I agree with you having lived here in Thailand for 4 years, the so called friends I have made have all had hang ups about one thing or another, and many are controlled by theirThai wife or girlfriend. They do not seem to have a mind of their own, and take what their partner tells them as gospel. In the end it ruins a relationship for two farangs to have a chat together most wives/ G F'S are so possesive abouth their partner they cleverly put a stop to it.

For that reason I have elected to keep myself to myself, it is less hassle in the long run.

You say you live in the sticks! wherever that maybe?? I live near Pattaya, so it does not matter where you are, they seem to be everywhere!

Good luck.

I have had some professional photos taken in BKK and would like to get some printed and framed for presents to family & friends. Can anyone recommend a very good service for this, as it is important they are reproduced onto canvas Best way. In Pattaya area? Thx.

Have tried on this site but thought I would give the so called professionals an option to market my property,but as you say I think better to be patient on this site Thx!

Can anyone please recommend an efficient property agent in Pattaya, that actually professionally markets your property, instead of playing at it?

I have tried a couple of Agents and they do not seem to have a clue as to how to market ones property! It is no wonder it is so hard to sell a properrty in Thailand!

After you get your new passport you visit immigration to transfer extension information to the new one.

Thx for the info :-)

When I send my U.K. passport for renewal to Hong Kong. Do they automatically send the original retirement visa page, back to me in the new passport? As there will be 9 months left on this visa before i need to renew the Retirement annual Visa? Thx ??

Thx for your help it is appreciated

Does anyone know where we can board our cat for a few days while we visit up north. Would like somewhere with nice accomodation with a clean area for exercise etc. Do not want to leave her in a cage all day. Live in Pattaya: Chonburi : Rayong area. If you have a tel number or email address or website I can contact. Would be very obliged. Thank you for your help

You could try the power tools shop on Pattaya Nua (same side as the bus station, about 75 mts towards Sukhumvit Road). They do stock a few B&D tools.

I'm not sure whether they will have a battery in stock but I'm pretty sure they will get one for you. Take the old battery with you - no English spoken.

WARNING - If you are a power tool freak (like me) you will not get out of there with just a new battery.

Also - B&D have at least one factory in Thailand

Thx for your reply I will look for a supplier of this paint in the Pattaya area! Any Ideas?

Does anyone know what type of paint to use for a cement built waterfall which is part of our swimming pool feature. The pool is a salt/ chlorine auto system. therefore must be salt resisitent and sealed for protection to the cement. The waterfall is about 8 foot tall. I think the Company ( now out of business!) used a mineral type of paint when it was built new, as it smelt like cow Poo when it was applied. Any help would be appreciated?

Thx Ray

If the SMPSU can be opened without breaking it, possible worth seeing if it can be repaired.

As they are more electronic than a simple PSU possibility is that it is a transistor or resistor though in my experience quite often the PCB can get burnt up and there is always possibility it is a transformer or choke which means a new unit.

If the output is single voltage it may be cheaper to buy an "off the shelf none discript" and change the plugs if needed, just make sure the voltage is the same and current output is at least the same but it is acceptable to have more, all power supplies should have a name plate with these details.

You can find pleanty of suppliers new or refurb on Google if you want to risk importing one.

Thx for your reply I take your point the supply is a simple 18V DC from the transformer but it outputs to a very small 4 pin plug to plug itno the unit so not sure what the other 2 pins are for I think there is a place in basement of Tuk Com that does repaire of electrical equipment might be worth calling in there with it to see what they say .

Thanks for your help Ray.

Does anyone please know where I can buy or repair my Bose Sound dock switching power supply unit, I think the transformer has given up the ghost?

Many Thx. Ray.
