I plan to be there with my 2 mates - if they don't get side tracked into Hell Club!!!

Just to let you all know that Monkeyman has kindly agreed to allow The Walking Street Journal to reprint his now famous Monkeywatch articles! Yes, now you can catch up with all the latest gossip and news from the Monkeyman whether you are in your local bar, restaurant, shopping mall or toilet! The Walking Street Journal is a brand new free newspaper that comes out every 2 weeks and is distributed all over the Pattaya area. Its full of silly stories, controversial items and some actual news (but not much!) If you want a bit of a laugh over your pie and pint then pick up a copy today. Many thanks to Monkeyman for your support. You are a gentleman. Cheers LF

Just wanted to let you guys who reside on The Dark Side about a new small bar in Soi Khao Talo. Its called The Pioneer Bar and is located almost opposite The New Inn. I met Dave & Dave and their respected partners and its is a nice place to relax with a few beers and watch the footie. No ladies here - strictly a family place. Stop by and say hello next time you are passing. Cheers! LF

Ricky was telling me his plans for a Go Go so I would be surprised if he changed his mind. His heart has always been in the Go Go scene and he had some good ideas so I expect it to be a real fun place. Cheers! LF

Fortunately, I had set up my own company and WP when I first came over in November and was working "in partnership" with SRE so, technically, I was not employed by them.

Special offer for you - I'll round it down to 2,971,960 - Bargain or what???!!!

Martin, Because the system is European based through an Italian MLS sysytem we have to have the front end prices in Euros. However, when you go into the actual property listing, it then shows you the price in Baht, Pounds and the good ol' US Dollar. cheers! Adam

Well, after 9 months with Siam Real Estate I have decided to move on and set up my own business here in Pattaya. The main reason has been the owner of SRE trying to cut costs by closing the Pattaya office, selling my car and renegotiating salary. After all this, I decided I could achieve as much and probably more working for myself. So, I have set with a local BM a website for property. www.thailandpropertymarket.com I am in the process of uploading all my listed properties and hope to have this up to around the 100 mark within the next couple of weeks. Also, we have a facility that enables other brokers to register their own properties as well. Some of you will know this as a Multi Listing System. If you are or know of anybody involved in the property market, or know someone who is looking to buy or sell then please don hesitate to drop me a line or give me a call. Also, I am helping with a new publication called The Walking Street Journal. This is a new newspaper that concentrates on fun and entertainment. Over 5000 copies will be distributed around the area every 2 weeks and we are launching at the Jesters charity drive on September 9th. Advertising rates for the first issues are extremely competitive so it is a great opportunity to get good coverage for a low investment. If you are interested in promoting your business in this unique publication that we fully expect to be extremely popular, then please contact me. If you have any questions then please drop me a PM. Cheers! Adam Adam.kuhl@thailandpropertymarket.com 08486 48726

Jib was there a few weeks ago. Ann and Lek - not sure but think have moved on. Na - dunno. No 4 - I don't know who she is but she won't stop smiling at me every time I go in, even with the Mrs. Yeah, she's still there! I think Nun has gone as well. Cheers LF

I believe you can set up a trust in which the property is in the childs name but they will not be able to legally own it until they are of age. Best to speak to a Thai lawyer or farang working for a Thai lawyer. Justtony and Racefan over on secrets are both in the legal business. Cheers LF

Adam, are you going to be Captain Pugwash???? Ahhh, so many joke names.... seaman staines, roger the cabin boy etc Hope to see you there. LF

Hi, I have several listed at Northshore but the rental contract is 12 months minimum. I might be able to get you into a unit that is for sale for a short period of time. Please PM me with your dates and rental budget and I'll speak to the owner. BTW: Although there is not much activity at Northpoint or many other developments at the moment, that does not mean to say things are going wrong there. Remember that Northpoint is being built by Raimon Land, one of the most successful developers in Thailand. Regards, LF

Some of the other benefits include underground parking, 24 hour security, CCTV, fitness centre, landscaped gardens, shops and laundry on site. So, if you are thinking of buying a condo anywhere from 3.9 MTHB to 8.7 MTHB and you want something that is close to Walking Street and all the other great places in Pattaya, then please drop me an email, call me or come and see us at the show home.

1234, I would recommend nipping into The Rockhouse or other establishment close to The Hell Club about an hour before. Enjoy a drink or 2, pop your pill and then make your move. The girls work very hard in HC and they will be delighted if you can go for a 1, 2, 3 or even 4 times performance! LF

Always a quality read - thanks!

Just to add to Elefs comment and clarify. You can own 100% of your condo in a building as long as it forms part of the 49% allowed for foreign ownership. Your lawyer will always check anyway but its the first thing you should ask when looking. LF

BANGKOK: -- The Cabinet has relaxed the restrictions on foreigners' voting rights as well as extended the grace period in voting right adjustment. At the meeting Tuesday, the Cabinet approved the proposed amendments to the Foreign Business Act: foreign voting rights in companies in Annex 3 can exceed 50 per cent while the grace period for voting rights in companies in Annexes 1 and 2 is extended from 2 years to 3 years. Under the previous draft, any firm in which foreigners held 50 per cent or more of the shares, or 50 per cent or more of shareholders' voting rights, would be considered a foreign company, excluded from business activities reserved for Thais. The Nation 2007-04-10 More news to follow, I'm sure......

Really? I spotted some for sale in a shop next door to the cinema in Cebtral Festival. Glad I didn't take it any further. Do you know the official release date? Cheers Pete. LF

I rented a studio in Jomtien when i first got here. Couldn't find a lot else around in a short period of time so ended up paying 20k a month. To be honest it is a really nice 62m2 place with luxury fittings, Free Wifi and cable and swimming pool about 2 minutes drive from the beach so it wasn't bad value for money. I have now just signed up a 12 month lease on a 3 bedroom house off Soi Khao Talo in the dark side for 9k a month. Lots of space but much more basic. Still only 10 minutes to Jomtien beach though and everything on that side of Sukhumvit is so much cheaper. So, the above studio is available to rent from the 20th March, if anyone is interested!!!!? Adam

Yes, TW Condominium is being built by the same people doing TW Wong Amat Beach. TW WA is just down the road from Nova Mirage, Northpoint and Ananya WA. Its a Thai developer who has quite a good reputation. It is mainly studios with some 1 bedrooms still available. Prices start at around 2.3 Million THB and go up to 6.5 Million THB. Overall, a good location if you want beach access and pretty good value for money. Let me know if you need any more info. Adam

Hi, I think you and your friends might struggle to find something of that size in that location for 4 Mil THB. Certainly not anything in the more sought after projects. 3 bedrooms close to the action is realistically going to cost you 7 Mil THB upwards. There are lots of other options if you don't mind being a bit further out. Check out my website - www.siamrealestate.com or email me at adam@siamrealestate.com Cheers! Adam

You are not the first to mention that to me and it is a bit worrying considering the prices they are asking. I have also been told that the beach gets all the rubbish floated in from the bay but I haven't seen it so can't really say if it is true or not. LC and SR are both a bit out of my working area but I do have a couple of houses out near Mabprachan lake which is only 5 minute drive to Highway 36. Adam

The Sails is an exclusive with CBRE and I have yet to get my foot in the door so, I'm sorry, I can't give you an opinion on it....yet. Nova Mirage is virtually complete and sold out (At least the 49% foreign ownership) but I do have a couple of penthouses there if you are interested......
