  1. maybe because its often cheaper to drink water than a smoothie or a coffee, plus it a nice cool, long drink ?
  2. so is it illegal for me to take or pick up my friends from the ferry, even though i do not charge ?
  3. Hi there will be flying out of Don mueang airport on Wednesday Can i get a re entry visa from there, and if so, where do i need to go n the airport and how much for single entry Thanks
  4. most people i speak to say that the prices charged are a rip off and much cheaper ti fly Surat Thani Im flying out in a couple of weeks, will save over 8.000 baht by using Surat thani, which is a pity because Samui is a nice airport
  5. Hi there looking to fly out of Surat Thani airport and was wondering if there is still free parking ? Will be away for around 10 days Thanks
  6. Hi there couple of questions im on a non O retirement visa im leaving the country for a few weeks next month Is there an office in Don Meung airport to purchase a re entry visa and if so, where is it ? My existing visa is due for renewal in March , does this still keep the same after i return, or does the new renewal date become the date i actually land back here ? if so, does this mean i have another year before renewal ? Thanks
  7. seem to have lots of weed shops here, still keep opening up, and paying very high rents too but they are complaining there is too much competition and not making enough, surprise surprise
  8. yup, but unlike the mainland the delivery can be a long time and very expensive i used to have all my stuff delivered when i lived in Isaan, but they didnt have to spend 9 or 10 hours round trip to deliver them either
  9. not enough vehicle traffic ? not enough seaworthy boats to cope with the traffic How many boatys have Raja lost lately ? one caught fire, one sunk, one got wrecked in the port and if you manage to catch one to the mainland, they xan take up to 1 to 1.5 hrs longer than advertised due to the bad condition pf the boats Yup, Seatran if they can. they are more expensive, but much better condition and more reliable yup, i suppose i could go asking how much they would charge for transport and paying their price to bring it, but a bit pointless when im already there buying how much would they charge to go back to the mainland and then to here , 5 hr trip minimim ?
  10. yes, unless you want to help carry a couple of toilets, sinks, wash basins, wall and floor tiles, and lots of large tubs of paint , plus many small items too not easy to fit and carry in a backpack unfortunately
  11. its the humidity that kills me here on Koh Phangan was 37c at 08.15 this morning , riding the bike was like having a hot hair dryer in your face But even worse, we have very little water here. The turn it on about 6am and then off again about 9 am, then no water till around 17.30 till around 19.30 9r 20.00 if we are lucky but because everyone is filling there tanks, filling buckets, having showers, the water is just a dribble most of the time, have to crouch down to get enough water out of the shower The property is rented and has no tank system so not good , not in this heat
  12. Anyone else tried taking a vehicle from Koh Phangan to Samui lately ?? need to go catch Raja ferry from Kho Phangan to Samui, taking the car Seems Raja ferries have now stopped going to Samui from Phangan with no idea if or when it will resume Told to catch boat to Donsak, 3 hours, then another boat to samui, 1.5 hours now have to go shopping in Surat Thani instead, 3 hour boat, plus 1 hour drive each way think its time to get rid of Raja and its old boat wrecks and get someone better
  13. i agree wood is very expensive here , which is why when building new internal walls, metal stud with gypsum boards is a quick and reliable way to divide rooms see it used more and more on commercial buildings, but they do have limited sizes and fittings s how do you make an old timber house more habitual if not lined internal ? if not gypsum board what other boards to be used ? brittle cement boards, plywood ? but it seems the Thais prefer to run all their electrics on the surface rather than internal, Im in a concrete house at the moment, recessed sockets, but surface wiring
  14. not sure where you live, but there are thousands of timber houses in Thailand, mostly made out of hardwood, so less problems with termites, although they do get them but to fit sockets and switches without using clip in back boxes means lots of noggins and timbers, but it seem that's got to be the way these boxes are pretty standard for stud walls in the UK, can even buy the UK boxes on Lazada, but they don't fir Thai sockets unfortunately But thanks anyway
  15. hi there do they do plastic clip in back boxes for plasterboard/gyproc walls ? am rewiring and re boarding a timber frame house and would save me fitting a lot of timber noggins/studs
  16. went to do a TM30 last year, from Pattaya to Kho Phangan last year told to go away and do it in Pattaya, not Samui wouldnt let me do a 90 day report either told him to stick it and have never been back HE problems with Samui
  17. driving too fast using phone while riding stoned on weed or yabba drunk while riding no licence riding on a prohibited road choose one or more and will be correct
  18. thanks looking for long term rentals so not airbrib will try property hub thank you
  19. thanks, tried them but very little on their site
  20. hi there where the best place to look online for town house rentals in Sakon Nakhon and Nakon Phanom ?
  21. why the need to pray for them ? surely it was "gods" will that caused this crash and tock the lives ?
  22. Hi there looking for a computerised cash register with touch screen for a small bar would be nice if either set up with drinks already programmed, but if not, would need to be simple to set up and adjust dont want to spend a lot on one if possible, so looking for any ideas from existing users , of type and from where to purchase thanks
  23. i fitted one to my sons house in UK, had hot and cold inlets , so can adjust temperature during winter/ summer NOT good in UK winter if cold only, unless you want to freeze your nuts off, lol
  24. think you mean too many dont want to pay you extra money for just doing the job you are paid and expected to do ?
