I just had 140m2 covered with concrete, reinforced with 10mm steel. Hired the people to do the work myself. And got the concrete delivered to the house at about 1900 baht a m3. It all worked out at about 300 baht a m2.

I take my family down there several times a year. Normaly stay in Cookies resort on White sand beach.
And Lonely Beach it´s not the only sandy beach on the island as Phuturatica claims. White sand beach have, as the name suggests, a fine white sandy beach, and so does a few other beaches on the island as well.
And bring your car.

I bought a brand new car about 9 months ago. Paid 25% (212.250,-baht) up front, and financed the remaining 75% (636.750,-baht) at an interest rate of 4,5% through Thanachart bank. According to my plan I will do 48 payments of 14.520,-baht. Wich makes it an effective interest rate of 4,59%p.a. And the car is put in my name from day one, except the seller is keeping the registration papers until the last payment is done.
This is the fourth car I have bought from the same dealer and financed (and insured) through Tanachart. On the previous car I did the last payment in april last year. The effective interest rate worked out at 2,97%. And the registrationbook was delivered to me at my house later the same day.
If I should have financed my car the way your dealer proposed, I would have payed 15.654,-baht for 48 months, at an effective interest rate of 8,69% p.a. That would have cost me about 54.000,-baht more.
I guess the dealer is either taking you for a ride, or the leasing thing is more expensive. In my experience you will be able to get financing through Thanachart in your wifes name, without a guarantor, if you pay 25% up front. And 40 to 50% if you want it in your own name.
I did the first two cars in my wifes name, and the last two in my own. I only paid 25% up front to get it in my own name, since my payslip and bank statement was used to get the financing on all the cars, and I have never missed a payment.

Hi.
I did some searching on the net and found this:

Although the new HD channels are only available to cable subscribers at the moment, TrueVisions said its satellite subscribers will be able to receive the service starting in 2012: “Though the new service remains limited to subscribers to the fibre-optic cable network [currently], it will also be available to satellite customers next year,” confirmed chief commercial officer Ongard Prapakmol.
