Popular Post kevvy Posted February 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just thought I would like to say I think the villagefarang is one of the nicest person I have seen on Thai Visa. He is always polite and shows respect to everyone ...Do you have any person you feel the same for . I know there are many people who love to stir the pot and I am one of them . It is a real pleasure to read his post and check out his web page , it is really great reading . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Wow, I am honored to be address in such glowing terms. Thank you Kevvy, Rsquared and Krisb. I will do my best not to let you down, and once again, thank you. Needless to say i think you just have to stay yourself. 1 critique from myself to you is that many of your photo's seem too flashy and panoramic. A tad too much hallmarking in there, i would say. Keep up the good work. Mr. Villagefarang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijb Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I agree with VF being a nice person. I met him a couple of months ago, at the mall. I disagree with the critique of his photos. He should stay true to his own style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work. Mr. Villagefarang. First let me say thank you.I can appreciate your perspective and understand where you are coming from, however, I have found first with my writing and then with my pictures, you cannot please everyone. I have developed a certain style, purely by happenstance, which is what it is, and continues to evolve over time. Isn’t it wonderful we don’t all do exactly the same thing or in exactly the same way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very polite to post. And of course he should stay true to his style. Coincidentally i developed a style that is raw and the opposite of Villagefarang's. It is a beautiful thing to observe there are so many styles thanks to this forum. Posters like Rsquared, Kanwin,Oilinky and Samuijimmy inspired me a lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The wife and I were onsite pretty much everyday for the eight months it took to build. Our contractor was great, not so much in that he kept things from going wrong, but that he was quick to correct what did go wrong. Most of the credit goes to my wife who worked up the floor plans while on one of our extended visits to Hawaii. Those were handed to an architect who developed working blueprints. She also acted as our point of contact and PR with the workers, with everything going through her. I only needed to make a show of support from time to time and talked only with the contractor and his wife so that no one got mixed signals. Our contractor and his family are still friends and we still call him when something comes up. Just the other day he saved a major bathroom refit when he devised a way to access the leaking pipes by going through the outside wall, all three layers worth. He did another great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Even i have seen your a good guy going out of your way not to offend anyone. I am much more blunt and don't mind a (verbal) confrontation. I like your pictures and stories when i stumble across them I like your pacu pictures as a fisherman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there is some good advice for ya. thanks , but the house i will build is big (about 1100 sq mtr) with a enclosed covered swimming pool , it will be our dream house , which will not just be a dream now. but I will be there quite often and I will control the purse strings . As now we are half way finished building 38 houses . But I know where you are coming from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did another great job. our village contractor is great too, and always listens to us.And I order everything for him so I know what I am spending . The worst part of it was all the Bulls**t with the orbortor , and all the money that went under the counter. He told us the cost of the permits but 40% went to the the them.I couldnt do anything , as if i said something then all sorts of crap would have happened . So I kept quite so we could start our village. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pormax Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Have to agree. VF is the type of person I like. Helpful and sincere. Just the type of person that forums need. Could do with a lot more of the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutsi is working in the oil fields of Saudi, he won't be back until April time frame I believe. I concur with the sentiments about Villagefarang, who will be astonished to learn that he has already met me and I didn't declare who I was. I can be bad that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Its always good when people are nice rather than abusive but lets just end this with a great big round of applause to all the helpful members who mind their manners, who are actually in a great majority and yet usually unrecognized since its the obstreperous ones who usually get more attention. Just let it be noted that those members who are well mannered and helpful are as noted by the mods (and greatly appreciated) as are the troublesome ones. And that, I think, is enough of that. //CLOSED// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
