Does anyone know where I can get my hands on 1 of these bottles please?

 

I had one as a child and I would like to get another for my loose change to go in.

 

Any info would be great.

 

Thank you.

[Where can I buy gypsum cornice, skirting boards and chair rails from?]

Hi,

 

I am looking to avoid using wood at all costs, because my last house got termites and they used the wooden skirting board as a highway with an all you can eat buffet on it.

 

However, this has presented me with the difficult task of trying to find the afore mentioned products.

 

I have managed to find a suitable gypsum skirting board in thai watsadu, the same product is also available on the homepro website.

 

I am having trouble finding the chair rail and also the cornice for where the wall meets the ceiling.

 

Does anyone know where I can find these products in or near to Hua Hin please?

[Calls to give foreigners who buy a condo residency in Thailand]

I have been building my own house for the last 2 years. In that time I have spent over 15 million bhat on buying land, building materials and labour.

 

Will I be entitled to a 5 year visa? Or does this only valid if I line the pockets of some multi millionaire property developer?

 

 

[Anyone ever had a concrete brick wall done in Thailand?]

I've built 3 houses in Thailand and learnt a lot along the way.

 

Those red bricks are notoriously bad for building houses with. They are like heat magnets. They also erode very easily.

 

You would have been much better off using Q-Con blocks.

 

To address your question. Yes, you will be fine to render over those bricks today if you wanted to. The render will pull any moisture from the red bricks and the mortar as it cures.

 

Good luck.

You will get a 30 day visa exempt entry not a tourist visa.

Ranong is where most people go to from Hua Hin.

forgive my ignorance, but why go all the way to Ranong? Are there not suitable land crossings closer to Hua-Hin?

 

I see on google maps that a lot of the thai/burma border between hua-hin and ranong is mostly national park, wold i be right to assume that there are no border crossings in this area?

 

If Ranong is the best/only option, does anyone have any pointers for somebody doing a drive and survive trip by themselves? I would much rather drive my own car than get in a minibus with 9 other people and an irate driver. Last time I got the stink eye from the driver asking to stop so I could take a piss.

Hello,

 

my education visa is due to expire at the end of feb. I have been in Thailand for the last year. Will i get a 30 day tourist visa if I do a land crossing into Burma?

 

Also, if this is possible, which border do you suggest I travel to from Hua-Hin?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.
