I'm looking forward to seeing the photos already. ?

I'm the same as you. I was in a job which I grew to hate. I was lucky to have been given some very good financial advice when I was just starting to work which luckily I was smart enough to accept. I worked out the numbers and realised that I had sufficient funds to retire so within 2 days of that I had quit my job and have never been happier. I was 51.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

No, stay away, we don't want you here! 555

I like being able to understand what is being said about me when people are unaware that I can understand Thai.

Great read as always. ?

You've just described almost all the members of this forum. ?

I'll translate for the sake of our American members. Owt = UK Northern slang for 'anything'. ?

Anybody know a civil engineer who is looking for work? There seems to be a shortage of them in Thailand. ?

These guys are milking this job, they must be paid by the hour!

If the TB is strong, or $/£ is weak, how ever you want to describe it, then it will hurt exports too so it's not just a fall in tourist numbers that will affect the Thai economy in the future.

You're probably right. ?

Is the idea that storm water from the nearby soi's will flow into the box before flowing out of the large pipe to reduce flooding of the nearby soi's? If so, I don't think that it'll work. The volume of water coming in has the potential to be greater than the volume able to flow from the outlet pipe. It will just fill up and come up through the grating on the top.

Possibly there to allow air in to avoid a vacuum, assuming it's a well sealed system.

How about offering a discount for board members if they book directly with you?

I'd imagine your belongings would be safer in storage than in an unused hotel room too.

Kind of. For 2000 baht they send it to Bangkok, fast track it and you can pick it up from the Bangkok office the next morning or for 200 baht more they will return it to the Avenue office and you can pick it up in the afternoon.

Thanks for all your work Frosty. Perhaps when the update is complete it will prompt those who haven't made a donation yet to do so.

I had the daily special at Retox yesterday. The burger looked great and tasted even better and at 199 baht was superb value for money.

I was let down by the agent I've used many times and was left with nowhere to stay so was at the mercy of the owner and ended up paying 30K for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo for 6 weeks. I won't be staying there again or using the agent either.

Don't think the cafe in Villa is open 24 hours any longer and I lived in The urban, in the exact block shown in the photo for 6 weeks, that was more than enough for me. IMHO it's a poorly designed and built, badly run shit hole. Good luck with the sale though.

How long have you been trading? Do you have an office where I can hand over my goods and pay for your service? What guarantee do I get that you won't just disappear with my goods and my money?

isn't there one at Carrefour on Sunday mornings?

There's a small stall selling it in the car park at the back of Mikes shopping mall.

Harsh, very harsh but very funny too.
