You Tube

I just installed Adobe Flash, thanks Buksida.....unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. I tried to load a You Tube video a friend sent this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tzga6qAaBA and another one from a thread this morning.....both with the same not available message as before. Maybe ...

Cinema

Guess - You got me on the Brit thing.....my bad. I do think, however, that many of the posters on these forums are inordinately rude or angry all the time and I don't take that part back. A little civility goes a long way......something I think we can all learn from the stupid, ignorant, lazy, dick-...

You Tube

Every time I try to load a You Tube video I get the message: "We're sorry, this video is no longer available". I thought it was because the government was blocking You Tube, but I see Buksida and others have been watching at least some You Tube videos. Are there settings or something I nee...

Sandman - If you don't pay too much to watch it the subtitles can be a lot more entertaining than the movie.....it's hard to believe they couldn't find a willing English speaking person to help out. Goes a long way to showing a real time example of the "saving face" deal. Anyway I was seri...

O.K. I've erased my response twice now so here goes the vanilla version: 1) Steve is probably not a prick just because he doesn't agree with one of you.....and once again you've outdone yourselves with the usual bitching about Thais.......so how many of you guys has a Thai wife? I bet every Thai guy...

We just received our renewal for contents on our 247 sq meter condo from AIA. 8,500 baht per year. I don't know what it covers as it's in Thai and the boss isn't home.

We have the same problems, but fortunately mostly just on weekends when the Cha Am Beach Hotel has a show or group event.... Last night I could have gladly walked over there and killed them all. It's amazing to me that the patrons of these places aren't both deaf and/or just as unhappy as we are at ...

Coco 51 Meeting

Norm isn't confused at all. Despite the minutes of the meeting apparently being published before they were reviewed by the attendees there was a very small group of consumers represented, and no vote or mention of a leader the the group was discussed. I just finished emailing Vaughn, who chaired the...

V.S. I thought about Home Pro too but figured he would have already checked that out. I'm pretty sure the electric shop is south of AIHH, might not be two blocks but let's put it this way, it's south of the intersection where the German Bakery is. Just checked with the wife and she says it's closer ...

hhfrarang - Not to stir anything up, but I don't know most of the posters on this forum so when you say two of the sponsors of HHAD and the Forum are "offenders" you leave me wondering. Are the two sources you mention a part of this continuing discussion or have they abstained? It seems to...

For all of you wondering how the interests of buyers figure into this, you will note by my posts I am not involved as anything but an interested observer.....interested because I wasn't only stupid enough to get fleeced once, but actually nearly had it done twice. It isn't as hard as you think. As n...

As a non-builder/developer/real estate agent I think I have been following this at a reasonable pace and hereby submit the following: Per Peter, Vaughn and Clive it appears we are working on two ideas to be headed by one central clearing agent/committee/whatever....but by people definitely not at al...

I keep reading these posts waiting for some consensus to be reached but am disappointed that it seems to be running in circles. When I first brought up the subject of trade associations, independent inspectors and the ability of both contractor or buyer to utilize such services what I had in mind wa...

Legal assistance with building contracts etc.

It seems this may be the week for all things property related. I've already addressed my ideas on another thread about trade associations etc. and government assistance. I see PKBCXKT has authored another thread regarding this and suggest all that are involved or interested participate in that effor...
