I'm looking to move out that way and have been out with Sabang looking at places a few times. Some of the prices being asked are unrealistic due to the enormous supply and even some of the rental requests are based upon very high yield expectations. Initially I will be renting. Still looking for a 3 bedroomed place if anyone knows of one.

Why not spend Bt1,000,000 on an Elite Card and not have to worry about it again, ?

I've spoke to Robin a few times and a lot of his rooms are let out to corporates. I don't have contact details unfortunately.

I'm on 512/256 in View Talay 2 and for the last 9 months or so, perhaps a bit longer, it has been really reliable and speeds have increased.

You can still drink and party until the sun comes up.

I've rented a large speedboat but I don't know if there are people out here with Sunseekers who need to rent them out.

Apart from the gym and with some apartments, the bath (never use one myself), View Talay 2 has everything you require.

I'm looking for a house to rent long term with some or all of the following: Bedrooms: 2+ Bathrooms: 2+ Pool: would be nice, communal ok Furnished: yes or at least mostly Kitchen: european Type: house with some outside space, not townhouse Location: Probably East or North Pattaya but will look at other places Telephone: the ability to have a line is required Budget: from zero to 30k per month considered If you have anything, please drop me an email to pattaya.house@gmail.com Thanks

I have a need to travel to the UK, probably this month and wonder if anyone knows of any availablility at reasonable prices. Return of course. I know the offers but their availability is near zero. If anyone has booked from the UK and is coming back from LOS before 03 April 2007 then please let me know as that could be my outward leg. Cheers

Add 450 people who are each carrying an extra spare tyre of say 20kg and you have an extra 9,000kg of lard to carry. If they are larger the figyres themselves get really large. Remember again though that the weight mathematics were probably carried out by a 60kg Thai not a 120kg lardbucket ! There is an extra 27,000kg !

So you're going to chuck the UK missus out on the street, you have a relationship with a virgin, but you want an underage girl, you forget about a pension and you think the council will give you somewhere when you deliberately make yourself homeless. I think that rather than us trying to help you out we should perhaps put you on ignore as your story is full of bullshit.

The UK pension is 84.25 which equates to around Bt22,000 per month. If you are still resident in the UK you will have this increased each year. So in answer to the original poster, somehow you're going to have to get through to 65 when this additional income will kick in. You should be able to build up your capital in that time and still have some trips to LOS. If you could get your 100k to 150k then that would be around Bt40,000 per month plus your pension of Bt22,000. Maybe just about doable but still tight especially given the likely inflation rates.

Education fees is another area where the government will issue to necessary paperwork to send cash out of Thailand. Small amounts are easy but millions need paperwork.

Not the sharpest tool in the box but a flawed genius.

Now ain't that the truth !

Italian restaurant and pizzeria on Soi 33 off Naklua Road. Second right up from the Dolphin roundabout. Not too cheap with most around Bt220-250 but top quality Italian style pizza.

Go to an agent in Pattaya and pay around Bt3800-4200 per day all in including breakfast for 2 people. No other way to get this price. Remember breakfast there is world class and is Bt650++ each anyway. Guest welcome. Try also using the promotional codes VS1 and VS2 for payment by visa. Do your search day by day, not for the total period. PM me if you have no look and I'll get some updated local rates for your stay.

Given the stair isue and "older" rooms, wouldn't the Lord Nelson be a better bet ? Rooms from Bt700 and just down the road ?

Go to a half decent bookshop like the one upstairs in BigC centre and you'll find at least a couple of books with house plans and house pictures fo modern, semi modern and traditional Thai homes. Its very good actually. Have seen a copy but do not own one.

My girl hails from Non Sawan near Nangrong in Buriram and in the space of less than 500m from her family's house there are 3 masts for 12call, Orange and DTAC. All are fenced off and have air conditioners but are very small, one is perhaps less than 50sqm. Not on rice paddy but more expensive arable (building) land. Not really a joke though as there may be some income to be derived either one off or annual as well as improved service. Perhaps free calls for her family or some other incentive. As a matter of interest, DTAC were offering SIM cards whereby you could call Issan for free i

Tony had it on the market for something ridicukous like $4.5m for ages. The advert made his clientele look like mugs for paying his prices. I don't think he is hurting for cash but if you were going to sell a gym the prospective buyer would look at the level of membership, membership fees in the prior year, the churn rate and profitability. The fact is that doing this deal increases current year profits but significantly reduces the profits going forward if it remains a going concern. Any new owner or even Tony if it is not sold is then less interested in maintaining facilities as there is

I can make rgeat arguments for buying and renting condos but none for shared purchases unless through a non Thai company and solely as investment. Even then it is problematic.

I didn't go into it. I used to act as an introducer to people who did this business and at the time 100% insurance was feasible. I play with business ideas constantly and was investigating this one when the insurance situation changed. If you could cover the insurance side and had a significant customer base there is good money to be made. There is still one way I have seen but it is far monre complicated and the market is not as large. Still looking into that one !

Get her to flog off about 100sqm of worthless rice paddy to a telephone company and put a 20m mast up ?

If it is such a good business why the hell would you give out such a "good" offer ? Doesn't make economic sense unless no-one wants to pay his recently introduced Bt8000 per year fee or his businesses are losing cash and he is financially strapped. I cannot find a decent argument other than it equates to about 2 years' fees now and about 4 years' fees only a few months ago. If you use multiple locations each week then it may be justified but he was trying to get 100 members from here for something like Bt2400 each or something before Christmas and pulled the plug on that idea.
