I believe money and work when i get the first lot of cash in my sweaty palm, the land costs 2 bumbags worth of cash or a nice bankers draft, it's real easy, they bring 2 bumbags of cash to the land office or a bankers draft, I don't mind either but prefer cash

^actually DD, I'm willing to up their offer on the land by another 10%.

I just need to come down to Jomtien for a few days to check everything out. Dusit or Amari will do and can you catch the room service tab as well?

Agent_Smith

I'll go 10.5% if you throw in "entertainment" too

I do actually need this money and it would be nice if it did go through, I think it will but i aint spent it yet, although thoughts about 3 weeks during the summer in the UK sounds good for a break, obviously not the area I lived in as that wasn't very nice, but the UK does have some real nice places I have never been to, don't forget I left when I was 26 and all my holidays were spent abroad apart from a couple of Pontins or Butlins holidays as a kid, furthest North I have been is Manchester, hell I have seen more of America and Thailand than I have of the UK

^TD piss in the UK on the way?

Well it seems contracts have been signed, and in another 30 minutes or so I have to drive her to the bank to get some lovely cash from her, they renegotiated the price but it's still more than we were asking, plus she pays tax

NickA

^Well, it seems your wife has done some pretty good business for you. A few grand on food and hotels and you've made a mint.

What did I tell you, play everything the Thai way and it'll all work out in the end

Travelmate

still has'nt got to the bank yet.....

Texpat

Banks are closed now. Maybe they cranked him in the grape with a brick and made off with the chanote and the money -- and that sexy, red, eight-year-old Hyundai.

Fabian

I thought we are talking about your piece of land?

dirtydog

Bank is open till 8pm in Pattaya, not all of us live in Baan Ork Land should mention this is the bank in North Pattaya in Big C or Lotus where all the rich people goto do transactions of large sums of money, probably not a place you would frequent nick

dirtydog

hmmm, still waiting got to admit I don't understand Thai banking, my main bank I use in my name lets me do 20k baht perday on the atm, my girlfriends one which I also use lets me do unlimited, well it may not be unlimited but it never told me to fok off yet, I had some money sent thru to my account last month to pay a large payment, thats when I found out mine was 20k baht perday, the company I was dealing with said you could change it to whatever by putting in your id or passport number and reset your limits, trouble is I have no idea how long I have had the account and which passport it was opened under, ie passport numbers change on each renewal, and I weren't gonna chance guessing 3 times and losing my card, that account all money, of which there is little I might add comes from overseas

dirtydog

Hmmm, went to the bank and he still has the money in his sweaty palm and not mine, well actually it's in his handbag, not the same as rigger uses cos he doesn't like pink, so on the way back I stop at my place to get the money and give them a reciept, seems they forgot the contract, so, what should we do, well basically they reckon we got 3 ghosts living in our tiny little front garden so it was time to get rid of them, I mean this is valuable drinking time and I got idiots waving their arms at our plants in our garden to get rid of the 3 ghosts, so now we got another meeting for the exchange in 30 minutes, how farangs ever expect to do business with Thais I have no idea......

dirtydog

As I sit hear with steam coming out of my ears I wonder why I even thought of doing business with Thais, the original deal was 1.2million, they pay the tax, 50k baht down and the deal has 60 days to run, contract drawn up and everybody agrees.

So off we go to the bank and he tells me he is going to put 100k baht down, don't make much difference to me what deposit he puts down as long as he completes within the time period, I am interested in the lump sum which is what I need.

Then we get offered a new deal 1 million baht, 100k tonight, 100k in 60 days, then the balance in maybe 30 days but maybe longer, I told erm to fok off, why the fok would anybody waste their time dealing with Thais in business, oh, and now he and she wants us to pay the tax, should mention the deal offer has gone down by 20 percent with that offer, fok me instead of driving them to the bank and then playing with foking ghosts I could have been doing something constructive, like drinking or wanking instead of wasting my time on Thai tossers. cnuts the lot of them....

dirtydog

I got to admit I am really foking annoyed about these Thai tossers, my mate is over from Hong Kong for his monthly vacation and I should have been going out with him tonight, but no, I turned him down cos of these Thai tossers, he's back to Hong Kong tomorrow so I missed him this month due to Thai timewasters, I employ Thais, I buy products from Thais, but dealing in business or selling them something is just a waste of time.

Agent_Smith

^I'm surprised you're not used to this by now. Maybe there's some hope left and they'll go back to the original offer--just testing you and all, you know.

jandajoy

Could you please refrain fom the use of the word "cnuts" or any derivative.
It appears to offend people unduly.

Many thanks.

I fucking hate it when people fuck about on a deal.
In ten years I have found two shops in Phrae that have a trustworthy owner.
One's a computer shop and the other a car dealer.

The other 99% are a bunch of lying wankers

dirtydog

I haven't dealt with Thais when they are paying me money for I really don't know how many years, Its just something I wouldn't waste my time on, so my girlfriend was dealing with it, then all their new deals came up, weren't one I was gonna take so I told erm to fok off, now my girlfriend is crying downstairs, tough foking shite if she is so stoopid to deal with people like this, sadly it is her sister.
