jm49er1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 i own a condo in Pattaya and have been using a LPG gas BBQ to cook ribs etc on my condo balcony - i was told by the condo management that gas BBQ's are not permitted - does anyone know if this is ok in other condo buildings in the Bangkok or Pattaya area?

libya 115 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The management of my condominium banned LPG about three years ago following a drunken 'farang' inspired gas explosion in a nearby condominium. At the time I was a bit annoyed; because it meant sending all my LPG gear 'up north' however now I think it was for the best. The problem is, insurance often won't pay up for damage done, and Thais and 'farang' are either dead and injured or won't pay up either. However I have realised that alternatives are O.K. ie electric and even charcoal burners on the balcony make tasty snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ling Kae Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Our condo off soi Arunothai also bans LPG cylinders but most people still have and use them. Sometimes people have LPG cylinders replaced empty for full and as the guys bring them in security don't challenge it and turn a blind eye to it. I've stayed in 3 different rooms here and 2 out of 3 had LPG. Depends how strict your condo management enforces the rule. Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Not allowed where I live. How did you get the dam_n thing ON the balcony? Edited September 5, 2008 by dotcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 My condominium bans the use of gas too, I certainly agree with this and would not think that BBQ's on the balcony should be allowed. It is easy to police the rules by stopping people bringing gas on site, once you start bending the rules where will it stop? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Exactly. If building management & security will overlook this they will overlook other things. Look for another condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 No idea, but I do know that if any of my neighbours ever lights up a stinking smoky charcoal barbecue, he will quickly discover that it is raining very heavily on his balcony!

Taijitu Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I believe that this is actually a serious infringement of the law. Don't do it. If you object to it then speak to your Condo Co-owners Commitee and point this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardog Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 A house is the answer. Why pay a lot of money to have some anal retentive jerks rain on your parade. Not sure if the condo rules are the same here but in the U.S.(& I know this is not the U.S.) but it usually takes 80% of a vote to make or enforce any rule of the condo association - Which it is very difficult to get 80% to have any interest to show up for the meeting. Having lived at several condos Or Condoms I have challenged & beat the association on the 3 rules. besides if your using charcoal & using wood chips to start it & watching it. Hard to burn a concrete monster to the ground. Gas I can see could be a problem. I know I'm a bad dog but rules are made to be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condo I lived in California wouldn't allow any type of bbq'r & my X & I contested the validity of using wood chips to start it instead of gas 2 people out of 90 showed up at the meeting to vote & we got to keep the bbq but agreed not to use a gas source- which we were not using anyway. Even in our house the gas container is shut off after use- in the shade & I inspect it frequently to make sure it has no leaks. I would be real bum kicked if I couldn't BBQ . In America its a tradition not just a convenience. Have you found any decent BBQ sauces out here yet? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
