Does anyone know a good plumber in the east pattaya area ??

What are you trying to get done?? I know one that might be able to help. No English spoken.

Also looking for a plumber with good skills in Pattaya.

Small job, but I'm not interested in regular Thai plumbers.

The trouble is that it seems very few plumbers can do a decent job here and if they do they work only on big projects...

The guy I use is very good. But not cheap. And no English. Even for a small job, it would probably be 500B for a few hours. But I'm pretty sure you'd be very happy with the results. Super nice guy. Lives on Khao Talo, I believe. He use to do only large projects, but started a small business with his wife now and does these jobs on the side when he has time.

PM me if interested!

Thanks for the help; sending you a PM now.

What particular skill set is required for plumbing in Thailand? It's all blue pvc piping and glue isn't it? No swaged copper pipe and using the right solder for jointing. As long as you know there's different grades of blue pipe (don't use the cheap stuff for underfloor and in-wall pipework). If you have high pressure + hot water, use the expensive green piping.

Have I missed anything?
