Looking To Rent 'remote' House/building

[simon43]

Right, I won't beat around the bush. I live in Nai yang and I am a radio enthusiast. I like to twiddle my knobs in the middle of the night and get really excited when I hear Radio Bobo-diallasu from Outer Nowhere....

Now, where I live, the power-line interference is dire, and it totally spoils my solitary hobby (:

What I need to find is a little house or commercial building to rent. This property must be in the middle of nowhere, but have mains electricity. It must also have the possibility of ADSL. Finally, it needs about half a rai of land where I can erect my miles of tangled copper wire that suffice for an antenna.

Can anyone help me out? A little rural house for up to 10,000 baht or so will do. (I'm not even going to live there - just install my remote-controlled radio receivers, retreat to my Nai Yang house and listen in bliss whilst my wife laughs at me)

Radio - radio

I'd sit alone and watch your light

My only friend through teenage nights

And everything I had to know

I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars

Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars

You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry

You made us feel like we could fly

Radio

So don't become some background noise

A backdrop for the girls and boys

Who just don't know or just don't care

And just complain when you're not there

You had your time, you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio - radio

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio goo goo

Radio ga ga

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio blah blah

Radio what's new ?

Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows - we watch the stars

On videos for hours and hours

We hardly need to use our ears

How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave old friend

Like all good things on you we depend

So stick around 'cos we might miss you

When we grow tired of all this visual

You had your time - you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio - radio

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio goo goo

Radio ga ga

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio goo goo

Radio ga ga

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio blah blah

Radio what's new ?

Someone still loves you

Radio ga ga (ga ga)

Radio ga ga (ga ga)

Radio ga ga (ga ga)

You had your time - you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio - radio

Is that all you want to do?....Hmm...I'm very suspicious of you "SIMON" No, absolutely there arn't any place you described here on the Island or any nearby islands too....try perhap all those mountains above pattaya bay?

By any chance are you the tax man? For sure I'll be keeping one eye open for those suspicious looking "miles of copper wire"! In fact...I'm off to see PU-YAI-BAAN now!

[tom yum goong]

i think u can find such a place.

there must be loads of places in more remote areas of the island such as around Mai Khao, around Kathu or even near Bang Pae waterfall that would qualify.

You will have trouble getting ADSL but u could try IPstar.

Phuket is a big island.

[simon43]

Well, I've been driving around the west coast with no joy. For sure, I found some quiet places around Mai Khao, but they had neither electricity nor phone-lines! I can use solar power to solve the electricity problem but I cannot use IP STAR because of the cost-factor. (The server that will sit in this house allows remote radio users worldwide to connect to my radio and tune/listen. so a fixed price ADSL link is needed...

I'l take a look in the hills near Thalang....

PS - The radio that I currently run from my house is part of this worldwide system - see www.dxtuners.com. I set this 'node' up for the enjoyment of global listeners, all costs borne by me!
