Hilly or Pete, Right now I'm in the same situation, trying to buy a 52 inch Plasma or LCD, but haven't had much luck around Pattaya. Big C is a rip off, obviously, with bad selection, but I'm stuck as to where else to go. I'd be eternally in your debt if you could send the name of the shop in Naklua, and any directions, so I can look at the same Samsung LCD model you picked up. If you don't want to share with the board, you can PM me directly at sanukcanuck@gmail.com. Much appreciated, SC

Bangkapiboy, I've PM'd you, and thanks for your help. This sounds like the answers to some sleepless nights. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm sure this must be a very, very common thing, since I was far from the naive investor, but still got caught up in the sale and figured it would all come out right in the end. But there must be quite the side business on providing this sort of service, since I know for a fact that I didn't deserve getting mislead and was only taken for a ride for the sheer sake of the quick sale. Anyone with experience in my situation please PM

Hey all, So I just finished my payments for my new condo at the View Talay Residence, the one across the road from the new Immigration office. Got it all done and paid for, and what is the first thing I hear when checking on the title deed transfer? Umm, well, you didn't do your transfer in Thai baht, but actually exchanged it into Thai baht in the UK before it got here, so you don't have a Thor Thor 3 form. Ok, so I admit it's partly my fault for not doing the research beforehand. But I was aware of the Thor Thor 3, and knew that I needed it, but when i asked the sales guy, he just

Softrabbit, Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I'll check out SB furniture when I get there. I'm pretty much just doing a cash and grab, so a 20% discout sounds great. I'll check out the electronics place as well and see if the discount is on offer. If you can PM me I'd like to get some more detailed info. I'm only in town for a week like I said so any personal experience you had would make my time there shopping go a lot quicker and leave some more time for more enjoyable experiences. That said, I'm actually looking forward to doing this shopping thing and kitting my place

I will be landing in LOS second week of Jan and need to pretty much outfit my place in the span of about six days, before I have to head off again. Since I can only swing about two trips a year, it will be quite a while until I can get back again, so would like to get my new condo totally kitted out and looking like someone lives there before I leave. So can anyone offer me some much needed advice of where best to find quality furniture for a reasonable price. I'd like good, top quality furniture (eg: four post bed, leather couches, oak tables) but not in a rip off store. I'll pay good

Hey Blue, Just curious about your pic from your younger, Vanilla Ice, hairstyle days. Not coming down on you for your unfortunate choice of haircuts, I used to have a mean mullet myself. But judging from the late eighties/early nineties style highschool photo, you are probably around my age. Which prompts the question. What the hell are doing being an expat, when I'm still stuck here plugging away trying to make the dream a reality? I'd curse you out, but I need you to keep sending pics. Anyways, all the best to ya. You're making this life of mindless work a little easier with re

Really? I personally don't see the term whore as having any negative connotations. There have been whores since time immemorial, and I think they're a whole lot better people than most of the people I know. If someone takes offence then pretty much all I gotta say is slowly remove the stick out of your ass and place your saviour complex on the nearest shelf. I thought I'd be getting hate mail from the americans on the board, to be honest. Nothing like a canadian desecrating the mighty yankee military creed. But hey, we're brothers in arms right?

So it's Friday night and work is done for the day, and the week is finally over. Breathe a big sigh of relief and no more useless hours counting down the clock and trying to stay focused on an inane job which has significance to others, but none whatsoever to me. So what are my big plans on this Friday night? Head out and catch the happy hour and sit back with some nubile little shape on stage washing away the fog which has settled over my brain these past five days? Maybe grab a light dinner by the seaside and let the warm tropical wind blow away the cobwebs of this bloody mind-numbing
