In Topic: Beer Breweries

I've been to the German Brewery a couple of times as well. As one poster said, the quality of the craft beers has deteriorated over time. Last visit there was no owner there that I could see, only a couple of Thai bar staff. They had trouble getting the beer to pour right as they were pouring into a jug and getting about 80% head then pouring the jug into the serving glasses. Consequently the beer came to the table with little carbonation (great I guess if your a pommie), next to no head retention and slightly warm. We tried a few different beers - all were the same. And the prices weren't cheap either. I was pretty disappointed with the whole experience. I don't mind paying premium if its a good drop but not on this occasion. Hopefully they will pick their act up...........

Not the first time nor will it be the last that Thailand experiences cold snaps. Here in Chiang Mai in December/January (the coldest months of the year) you see it all the time where locals rug up with jackets etc.

Probably more like +++ for water/elec. in those type of places. Check the rates against actual govt. rates.

Excellent point.
I pay 5 baht a unit. Am told 8 baht a unit is not uncommon. At 3,500 baht a month if you use a air con you can double your rent.

Not sure what the government rate is I think 2 baht a unit. If some one can confirm this would be appreciated.  B) B)
I think the main rate is 3 baht a unit.. 5 baht for condos has been a standard rate for 20 years, as I recall :)
We have a townhouse in Santitham area that we rent out rooms in. The electricity company charges 4 baht per unit, which we just pass on to the tenants without markup. Some places (condos particularly) sting you 6-8 baht per unit! BTW we have a room available now if anyone is interested. Cheers.

still, capital punishment is a big NO NO
It doesn't solve anything.
Keep this people separated from the public forever.


Oh dear, here we go again with another turn the other cheek do gooder  :ermm:
It doesn't solve anything? Give me a break it does two things:

1. Negates us (read that normal people who pay taxes and wouldn't even consider something like this) from paying for the upkeep of this vermin for the rest of his life and
2. Stops repeat offenders.

When you have someone close to you suffer at the hands of something like this come back and tell us. Loser.......... :angry:
