Trip 1. Making light work of this.
Fence light work to be precise

Delivery from Supplier all present & correct. Cheers to STWW for shop recommendation

Just another bit of info , if your thinking of coming here permanently keep your UK bank accounts open as it's virtually impossible to open a UK bank account if your living in Thailand ,i know i could go through a broker , but that just opens the door for more advertising and phone calls ,promising...

You’re certainly right about the corruption & backhanders in the highways departments. We’re staying off HWY2 somewhere behind Nong Samrong. There’s a massive house near & I remarked to the owner of our villa if it was owned by a farang. Apparently not, it’s owned by someone high up (possibly mayor)...

If you have received the Sight Bill rate for an inwards overseas SWIFT / Telex transfer then it is an error on the part of the bank. Depending on the size of the transaction you may have won or lost as the Sight Bill rate is worse than the TT rate. . I hardly think the bank will have made & continu...

Bangkok Bank does have fees for inwards overseas funds transfers The Bangkok Bank fee for inwards overseas funds transfers (SWIFT, Telex) in USD, EUR, GBP , JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, HKD, NOK, SEK, NZD, DKK, SGD, CNY and MYR is 0.25% of the amount transferred subject to a minimum charge of 200 Baht and a...

Very lucky mate. B of S were even wanting to charge commission for providing 50's. Barstewards dont miss a trick in extracting money from you.

Yeah, all banks are lying, thieving cheating crooks

Thats the biggest problem. Getting English 50's in perfect condition. Even a pen mark on them and their rejected. I was traveling through SEA for 3 years with 4000 quids worth of rejected notes. Had a few good sessions when I went home though. :D For some reason we always had 20’s & they were getti...

We bank with Krungsi in Thailand, they are listed as 43.38 on sight bill so a bit below bangkok bank. Difference of 3750 thai baht, just shows you even a small difference can save a fair bit Yeah, the rates move all the time unfortunately. That’s how the banks & these FX transfer companies make (or...

Thats how i feel about it but i guess if you provide a bank statement showing the funds being withdrawn there shouldnt be a problem, as i am in Scotland id need to request english notes, so im not sure ill have to give it some thought when i come to do it. Carrying 25 grand hard cash through an air...

There is no limit if you declare the money

Ah gotcha. Do you just declare it by walking through the red channel on arrival?
Personally I wouldn’t want to be carrying 25k GBP particularly after making it known to the powers that be

Unless it’s recently changed, you’re only allowed to take the equivalent of 20000 USD currency into Thailand

I just checked with my RBS and to send 20 thousand thai baht would be 498 uk pounds including fees , exchange rate is stated as 43.07 baht to pound. So I wonder what I would get if I did it in sterling ? I am kind of surprised they would let you do this , does the money just arrive digitally in ste...

Yeah Nigglyb, At the MAIN Traffic lights in Nongers on Hwy 2, Turn Left & You'll see a 200 ft Sign in front of yer eyes reading " MEGA HOME " 200 YARDS UP ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE Of the road.... You’re not far wrong there Seven Hundred. Even I couldn’t miss it \:D/ Luckily I’d already sourced my ligh...

Never heard of the 10K max per transaction Hoopoe. I transfer from Bank of Scotland (up to a maximum of 200K per transaction) to Kashikorn for a one off charge of 9.50 quid using internet banking. Same here. I use Lloyd’s which is part of same banking group & it’s up to 200k GBP using on line banki...

Nigglyb Good that sometimewoodworker put you on the mark. I was a couple of days to late getting the replies, having now gone back to work now. I was searching the same light type for my new fence, to no avail. My only difference is that I am searching the same modern style light but with a solar p...

There was a chap selling small plain ring donuts coated in granulated sugar at the Nong Samrong crossroads this morning. Bloody luvverly they were. Warm as well so he must be close by cooking up a batch for the lights to go red

I think that the majority of customers are wholesale, so don't expect anything like a display or anything you would get in Global, DoHome etc, though the do have a display of sorts of the lights. Lights sorted STWW you sir are a ****** legend. Big love from the family Niggles Shabba That is all \:D/

Sorry I was looking for that 17.4085337,102.7804038 IMG_4413-2.jpeg Many thanks. What more could I ask for, GPS coordinates of a known stockist :D We were reasonably close so popped over here but it was closed. Hardly surprising really, 6:45 on a Friday evening. Luckily I discovered it’s a couple o...
