Down under or Thai? Aussie mum trades Oz for Land of Smiles

[dickie58]

I'm looking for couple of reasonable priced Thai painters to paint 3 rooms in my house in South Pattaya?

I'm happy to supply the paint.

I reckon it's 5 or 6 days work at the very most.

Most important thing is that they are clean workers, i don't want paint all over the floor or furniture!!

If they could speak a little English that would help?

I would highly recommend a company in Chiang Mai called New Look Interior Paint & Design. Not sure if they would travel that far south but it would be worth giving them a call. Their work is flawless and clean-up superb!

When I've needed places painting I've gotten ridiculous quotes from painters, much better to do it yourself.

You always can contact rosegate consultants,they seem to have all the right contacts.

As suggested most Thai’s are dirty workers, they cover nothing up, will get paint everywhere and have no respect for your household furniture and belongings.

They don’t believe in covering things up which is something you’ll have to do yourself then stand over them and supervise what they do as few work to instructions.

I’d love to find a Thai I can trust to do a decent job but sadly they are few and far between.

Painting is a job I do myself but would happily pay if the right person existed.

Example……………….A couple of years ago a mate of mine was having his lounge painted and one worker was painting his ceiling with a paint roller right over his 75000 baht leather sofa with not a dust cover in sight.
