but I can not see the value of bricks that won't line up properly or tiles the curve at the ends!

They are cheaper,i believe by over 30%.A farang who knows no better goes and buys tiles priced at 180 and gets delivered tiles costing 120.

Yes,the tiles that do not match or line up are grade C.

My wife has taken many loans and mortgages after changing her surname to mine.As long as your wife's ID and land title deeds have been changed too you will have no trouble. A friend had the same response from his wife and it turned out she lied as she just did not want any loans in her name.You may ...

Do you think I qualify for another extension?

No,you do not qualify.Only those who already had a valid extention last October qualify.One from three years ago does not count as you let it expire.

If it is your first extention then you need 40,000 income.

If you have extended previously prior to October 2006 then the old system still apllies and 400,000 cash in the bank is ok.

There is an excellent clinic in Nong Khai run by a surgeon specialising in haemeroids etc who sorted out my problem without surgery when others said i needed surgery.He is a surgeon if you want to go that route.Maybe Stan knows who i mean,it's on the river front road.Lost the address,sorry.Will ask ...

That's piling for a two storey house.One storey does not need piling.

I guess i could just PM Stan but i thought i would put the question out to all.Although i have lived here for seven years i do not eat farang food and do not know where is the best restaurant.

I have a farang friend staying and he wants some good farang tucker.Where do we go in Nong Khai town?

If you do not leave it to settle for a few years then piling is essential,around 50,000 Baht for a small house.

Back to smoking again. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"I think he doth protest too much" as the Baird said.

In my part of Thailand(Nong Khai) such people have historically been dealt with by the local Laotian mafia and never the police.

Lets hope they are working in the south.

I had a Burmese friend on Samui who was always in trouble with the law.In the rainy season the Surat Thani jail cells were permanently underwater and always full and he had to sleep sitting up in three inches of dirty water.

Three months in a Thai jail,that should be an education.

If i referred to my other half as a "bint",i would need more than ear plugs to protect me.

So bad in fact that you went back five times.
