In Topic: For Condo Owners And Agencies: Looking For Somewhere To Rent Long Term

2011-12-20 08:12:04

Yes, we're also meeting lots of so called "customers" who like to use agencies to do their research and then go behind their backs trying to make a deal directly with the owner. It doesn't pay give out free online research since most of those requesting detailed research don't intend to use agency services. However, those persons choosing to skip agency services need to also realize that there is no intermediary party to help them out when you have a problem with the owner refusing to return the deposit, fix appliances, or do any kind of followup. An owner who uses an agent to represent their property, then is willing to do a back door deal with a customer, tends to also be the kind of person who keeps the deposit after the contract is done.

Things tend to work themselves out that way.

Well actually, we did lots of free work for you and gave you a lot of condo choices and then you went and done the deal behind our back.

Yes you are very welcome.

In Topic: Apt/Location Suggestions In The 20-25K Budget

If you want cheap, then go to Suk 81. Its relatively convenient and some of the apartments there will do short term rentals.

Good luck!

Another major reason why front loaders are more expensive is that most of them have their own water heater built into the machine. They do a better job of washing clothing used by people who workout due to the hot water function.

In the past decade, I've had 3 front loading washing machines provided by landlords. I've replaced each of them with top loaders at my own expense because the front loading ones took too long and never got the soap out of the clothes. I love my brand new top loader here in my new Bangkok apartment- bought at my own expense.

Front loader are more expensive because, thanks to their orientation, they use less water, less detergent, less electricity, can spin faster (dry better) and are gentler on the clothes.
The advantages of top loader are only washing times and price.

Being used to top loader, you probably put too much detergent and that's why the machine didn't manage to get rid of all of it.

On the long term, a front loader is really better for your clothes, your expenses and the environment.

In Topic: Thanksgiving Dinner In Bangkok

2011-11-18 07:31:15

There's another place next door to the Silver Dollar where they are probably offering a 'free' Thanksgiving meal (with one drink purchase). Its called "Texas" and is quite a bit larger than the Silver Dollar. Its not the JW Marriot but I wouldn't call it a 'shit hole' especially since it provides free food on a regular basis to many customers who grumble about having to buy one drink to get their meal. In this case, you do get much more than you pay for! The owner, who has since passed away, was a very generous guy who deserves a lot of praise for really making a home for guys who don't have that much money to throw around but want to have a good time on the weekend. I doubt that he made a huge profit on the place and whoever has taken over (presumably his wife), has continued this tradition of free food for its patrons.

Unless you are in the habit of giving away free food to people you don't even know, I'd refrain from calling anyplace a 'shit hole.'

Hey everyone!

By the way, Queens Park has a wonderful Thanksgiving buffet and I recall it being reasonably priced.

But a friend told me that somewhere in Washington Square there is a place that has a FREE Thanksgiving buffet. He may have been referring to the Silver Dollar (not real excited about eating in that shithole to be honest) but you guys are saying it's 380 baht.

Thanksgiving is special to me, so I'd rather pay a little more and get a nice meal.

In Topic: Cheap Room/Studio With Toilet

If you walk through Phrakhanong, Sukhumvit 71, otherwise known as Soi Pridi, you can find places in that price range. However, it would probably be best if you bring someone thai with you. Otherwise head to Ratchada or areas outside of central Sukhumvit. You can certainly find places in the Huay Kwang area, deep in Sukhumvit 77(Soi Onnut) and areas past the BTS Onnut station. Many of these apartments will be quite deep in the sois and most of the people there will not speak English, however, there are certainly apartments in the 3000 baht range available. Best of luck!

Silom/Sukhumvit/Klong Toey/Phaya Thai and all the inner areas. Even if it's a bit far from them I don't mind.
