Don't Agree, Manila is worse than a s*** hole

I have used them so many times. I booked them for a couple of nights online to stay at the Narai hotel on Silom road, Good price it was last year. Anyway I wanted to stay a third night so I went to reception and asked for an extra night. Reception wanted to charge me I think 500 baht or more extra. I explained that it's cheaper on the internet. Could not get through to her even when explaining I could get it cheaper by walking outside turning left 15 meters and booking online. That is exactly what I had to do. Came back with the reeceipt from Octopus and my extra night was booked at a better rate than she could offer me!

I have got a cable connecton in my rented house but I would like all the sports programmes supplied by ubc etc. How can I get this sorted and any ideas of the cost.

Can we have your post back without the reference to a particular person. Your views on the complex should be aired and it is up to the readers to seperate the Wheat from the Chaff!

What's the availability of land in the hua hin area with a view to self build and the relative cost to say Bangkok?

John

OP gone quite and I have just spent the whole weekend practicing my stall farang WELCOME greeting, think I've got it off to a tee!

What's the full story? PM me

John

Little worried about this colour test, is it a full colour blindness test with all the dots to identify numbers. If it is I'll fail as I'm green/red colour blind, many males are. I have been driving over 30 years UK

Well can most of that capital go into the property and kill many birds with 1 stone?

John

Ok I'll check them.

What about setting up the company to allow you to get a work permit, buy property and do business, say run a small shop. Is this possible? Cost?

John

Anyone got a rough estimate of the cost of setting up a company?

John

Thanks alot Guys & Gals for your help.

Looks as though a cash payment will give you little or no discount

John

1.5 and 2.2 Million Baht. Did That price include the land?

Where is Nongbaulampoo

John

Don't seem to be able to get any discount for full cash payment. Is this normal or can you squeeze for extra accessories?

I'm looking at buying a honda wave 125i. Injection and electric start.

Noticed some posts about rims and brake types. (As you can see I'm not the driver) Does the 125i come with the safety drum brakes etc as recommended in this thread?

Should I change the standard tyres?

I got safety safety safety on my brain

Thanks John

Looks like the Aussies are very very sore losers. I know they are not used to it that often but what a bunch of sore losers!

It's only a game..... Bill Shankly

Maybe the other way round. Giving more power to foreign ownership.

Who Knows? TIT

Hated it. Felt unsafe in Manila (Makata). You can security issues everywhere, even small shops selling 1 satang sweets have security grills. Guards everywhere, Food not so great.

Other people may have had good experience but I'm not going back even for free!

Thanks all.

So TOT go to Phetchaburi to organise.

John

Cheers Guys.

Just a little late hahahha. Caught the so call sprinter at 7.45 from Hualampong got in Hua Hin at 12.45. What a journey I could have walked faster. I would hate to trevel the slow train if that was a sprinter.

Anyway got car sorted for a few days but had to rush back to bangkok.

Going to Hua Hin next week 20th > looking for unfurnished small condo for rent maybe 6 months. Any pointers as I'm just gonna drive around looking for signs for rent. What u think?

John

Are these available in the Thailand, if so how much? If not is it worth taking a few from the UK :-)
