Yes - ACS, their cover is good, their card is not accepted at any hospital I have found so you have have to pay out of your pocket and then claim back, their claims support are very slow as well and work out of Hong Kong.
Get a quote from Mister Prakan on what they offer and Pacific Cross from AA Insurance as I have just done for similar cover and see the difference in their service and support, I was very surprised how good Mister Prakans answer was.

And the quota is only about 1280 as well, with even slower processing times, with most being applied offshore, thats about $2mil AUD extra for the Oz govt just from Thai applications

I found 2 companies doing clip lok decking here, but no idea of price or gauge of decking on one, it would need to be up to Lysaghts 406 or Bluescopes decking, will report back once I have pricing and spec.
This company does a 0.5mm which is thicker than Lysaghts 406 which is 0.48mm, so could be be a goer, but the ribs do not look vertical enough to provide the same support as 406 does (pictured below)
Lysaghts 406, this can take loads of 5.6kg/m2
As you can see they are very different beasts

In the tropical climate of Thailand, vines grow extremely fast,...so if you're into "green" insulation, instead of putting soil on your roof you might consider planting some vines around the sides of your shop and encourage them to grow up onto the roof. If you plant edible grape vines, in a few season's time not only will the vines be shading your shop but you'll be able to eat the fruits of your labor
You didn't mention what type of work you'll be doing in your shop, but perhaps this link will be useful: http://modelengineeringinthailand.com/
Please do post your progress & final build,...I may want to copy your design
Best of luck to you.
Vines tend to work their way into the structure and cause cracking and moisture problems, the system I have sourced locally is an Australian design and made in Indonesia, it looks pretty good, I got some samples for the wall panels already to try, this is a 50x50cm square panel.

Not sure what you will be making but does this leave enough room for assembly area and finishing? It's nice to have a separate clean room for finishing.
its a test for larger scale use on the house
-
The roof area will be 8m x 6m, what I didn't make clear was the room area will be 8m x 4m giving a 1 m overhang at the fron and back as eaves. hopefully giving some counter leverage to the 4m span as well (maybe an overall of 8m x 5m, making 500mm eaves is an option too)
Considering there would be only 3 D sections to buy, its only a few hundred baht it would add, but the wall thickness of each also needs to be considered, also considering just doing a full formwork and pour the columns and beams myself, it may work out better.
Also what are peoples thoughts on Hebel vs breese blocks for the walls?
-
Going to use low growth plants to avoid the need for maintenance, all they should need is watering, via sprinkler system, the weight will be in the water mostly as the plastic panels are light, membrane too, the soil will be a special mix to retain water
Thanks for the links Crossy

The floor will be a standard slab, walls using breeze blocks with a special coating on the outside for heat reduction.
The roof has to be stramit style decking or the cement planks as it will have a greenroof layer on top to reduce heat doing it like this

I am looking at building a small workshop and just after advice on construction
Size - 6m x 8m
Flat roof (10 Degree fall over the narrower 6 m)
4m post spacings
either 4m cement plank or stramit decking for the roof
Looking at 4x2" C section for the main rafters
If using the 4m cement planks would 4" posts be sufficient?
Does this sound doable or need to upsize anything?

I am interested in finding out about options and pricing as well as payment terms, also if the hospitals, even if there is a list of ones where the card is accepted

I am considering them as well as my current Health insurance is a bit of a pain, none of the hospitals will accept pre authorisation of the card for treatment, meaning i have to claim back after treatment.

They have boat shows now in Phuket and Jomtien, why not support both these excellent events - Ocean Marina boat show and Pimex boat show.
The biggest problem is the difference between Phuket and the Gulf, if you clock an international yacht in in the gulf you only get 2 weeks whereas Phuket you get 6 months, making it not very attractive for boats to come to the Gulf from overseas for racing and crusing

This is clever is you dont have the money to go home just start working next to any immigration office/police station soon you will get deported .FREE
I would carry a bag of lemons just in case and say im dropping them off for the wife also
Maybe hates his wife and its all part of the plan .Sorry telak but i just got deported!
There is no free deportation, you still have to come up with money for the ticket or sit in the IDC until you can and that makes cleaning phone booths look like fun

Its probably his community service from the court for a drunk driving charge, i know someone who got similar in Pattaya recently for failing a breath test

As with anything on cars, OE is capable of normal usage, but still people replace OE tyres with Pirelli, Michelin, upgrade shocks, upgrade lights and some like myself even upgrade brakes for the small amount it cost, stopping even half a meter quicker can make a big difference.
If OE wasnt capable would any car be able to be insured?
Lots of people just like better for many reasons, some buy clothes at Big C some Tailor make, does that mean anyone is wrong for wanting better?

OEM brakes are almost always over-engineered to do more then required
Except the VP commodore wagon I use to have, by the time i got to the last corner on the way home, the pedal was to the floor.
Each 20,000 km, front and rear pad changes and front discs were changed.
So not all OEM brakes are perfect, they ended up putting the VS brakes in my car before releasing the VS Commodore, they were a lot better, but wore out quicker with no fade.

I guess Thai Airways will have to come up with another idea then

I am looking at changing from my current provider to April insurance, ther appear to be significant benefits and I would like to hear from some policy holders what they think. (before i mention the benefits i see)

Quote or should I say, routine statement, from 2010.
Since then, during these 4 years, who has been arrested and took legal action against ?
Currently Phuket immigration seems to be busy with other stuff.
I know of 2 people that got denied entry for what they had posted on their facebook walls, not arrested, but just sayin, not a good place to post your activities if your here doing something other than you should be.

"Bicycling is good for health and the environment," Adisak said, adding that support should be given to ensure that people are able to use bicycles

What will happen with my LMG policy, will the renewal come from the new entity, or will LMG continue with existing.
You mention Health/Travel/Personal Accident insurance, will you also provide house/condo/vehicle?
ACS/Allianz any good?
in Insurance in Thailand

Probably talked about as the most problematic from all my friends who have it
Plenty of others offering better service, the brokers know which are the best to suit your needs
I am looking at 2, Thai Health for low end cover then LMG with a deductible for high end cover, but thats my situation
