Knowing Singapore I think you would get a Tent for that sort of money EH Fatboy ?

Compared to Singapore you have got it for free.

Yup thats what I had to do in the end mate , or else it can drag out a bit .

I went through all the funny Thai process of hiring a temporary meter that gets passed around the area , then getting most the deposit money back off that , plus a bit of a bung to get the proper one banged up on the external post .

Right chuffed I was when I got me own meter .

There,s a tidy bit of gear come round to collect the money on a Sunday every month to

^ Is it really necessary to play the local backhander corruption game when living here?

**nigelandjan** · 29-12-2014, 01:42 AM

When you have been here a bit longer than a tourist visit^ you will be abale to form your own opinion ( possibly )

Depends how patient you are, you can always wait for your power supply. And wait...

Big house = big headache, or so I've found. Nice, tidy place for a good price SBF- I'm sure you'll enjoy living there.

**nigelandjan** · 29-12-2014, 07:41 AM

BTW were only talking a few hundred bht here , hardly a deal breaker , less than most waste on the daily Leo

I am not planning on being here more than a couple of months per year or buying a house, but I am curious.

**Hans Mann** · 29-12-2014, 10:18 AM

Looking good SBF. Good colour choice and looks like you're gonna have some good lawns.

Do keep a ladder handy to change the light bulbs on that porch.

**slimboyfat** · 02-01-2015, 09:48 PM

Don't really know what is going on with the house build as my site supervisor gave birth to a baby girl yesterday.

**Happy As Larry** · 02-01-2015, 11:11 PM

^ Congratulations.
i hope mother and child are both doing well

**nigelandjan** · 02-01-2015, 11:17 PM

Congrats mate ,, good start to the year ,, no excuse for forgetting your daughters birthday

**Luigi** · 02-01-2015, 11:42 PM

Congrats on the baby and the house.

A happy new year!

**Stumpy** · 03-01-2015, 09:32 AM

Little confused about the baby and who gave birth. I read it as your site foreman but seems people are congratulating you.

**Hans Mann** · 03-01-2015, 09:41 AM

Congrats SBF, an extra pair of hands.

She wears a lot of hats. But for the next few days shes wearing a getting over the c-section hat.

Thanks for the congratulations everybody.
Mother and baby are doing well, although baby is under the old ultraviolet light at the moment.

**peterpan** · 03-01-2015, 07:09 PM

congrads SBF. my style too, small house and not too many xtras, BTW girls are great even in old age my two look after me cook me any thing I want and now that they are nearly teens, nice to have around I just need a big baseball bat to kill the scumbags that think they are good enough.

I thought a woman takes weeks of doing nothing to get over a " C ".

. No lifting and stuff like that.

Anyway fatboy, well done on the Rug rat front.

**chassamui** · 03-01-2015, 08:18 PM

Congratulations SBF. I am very jealous because I have 5 sons and a mate once told me you are not a real man unless you have fathered a daughter.

Checking to see if she's counterfeit?

Congrats anyway. Got a name lined up for her yet?

**Joesixpac** · 04-01-2015, 03:41 AM

The house looks great! Thanks for posting pictures and plans. My wife have been looking to build something in Nong Khai and something similar to this would be perfect. Would love to see what you have done on the inside. And also, congratulations on your new little one. Looks like she arrived just in time to enjoy the new diggs!

Great start to 'The New Year' SBF congratulations.

That's a tidy home you have built, more than satisfactory
regarding costs all round. well done.

Kanchanaburi, nice spot on the map.

Usually quiet and sociable. Handy for a relaxing time,
but also good mountain regions if you fancy a trek or similar.

All The Very Best to you and yours.

Should red you but sent a green instead.

Cogratulation from me too.

I do hope it is infrared instead of UV though.

**slimboyfat** · 04-01-2015, 06:38 AM

Thanks!

Its whatever light they use to treat jaundice.

The equipment in this hospital looks like it pre-dates my own birth!
