bermondburi Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Should be going to Thailand next week, first time in 2 + 1/2 years. What's changed? I'm not going to be up to any naughty business. First thing I'll be doing is painting a house I just bought. I'm not actually that excited about going but Mrs and kids are there already for the school holidays. Living in Saudi so looking forward to the cooler weather and some rain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malt25 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 With the cost of labor, why would you even consider painting it yourself ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not as hot as Saudi, but still hot enough to do some hotcrotch cooking. If you want cool, should have been here 5 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 after seeing the lack of quality in thai painting I refused to let them touch our house, luckily I brought all my painting gear with me seeing it was my trade for many years and do all our house work myself. At least I know it is being done right and drop sheets being used as well as not painting over anything attached to the walls/ceilings etc, the lack of decent trades people here is a huge reason to do it yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justfine Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 What has changed? Paint is still paint. Thai food is still Thai food. Unless you do touristy stuff any changes doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always one who spouts the 'work permit' tosh when someone suggests they are going to fix up their house, cut the grass, paint the wall etc... Has anyone ever been arrested and charged for actually doing a little work on their own property ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
