Bangsaphan Guide

OK---so--it comes to Sept 25 2020...the year that will live in infamy... How are things? Have we lost people (due to immigration I suspect more then virus)? Are hotels, restaurants, entertainment beginning to open? Have land prices reduced? (man's got to dream....) Market in BS Yai is open? Liquor s...

Thanks...
it was hard to put all the threads together...
Now I got it....

No one has any frigging idea what they are doing.

Shocked! Shocked I Say!

The Wife tells me that there is a case in Bang Saphan....
I have no idea, maybe brother in law who lives there relayed....

At any rate, stay safe....having some supplies might be wise...

Well people who I've met over the past couple years---as I plan to come live there---- You all take care of yourselves....Interesting times world-wide ...I'm in Colorado, and it is shutting down... I suspect you'll need to do the same thing.... I hope people get creative so food and supplies are ava...

So finished trip---Very much enjoyed the time and the folks. Appreciate all the construction suggestions---everyone is pointing to the same contractor as most reliable/fast...a really good sign.

Thanks again to you all---see you in about 6-8 months---looks like we're go to launch at that point.

All that being said---I just finished a great visit to BS...enjoy iTalay, Cusine (filled right up!), and Montri's and Why Not.... it was still a bit crowded on some nights at the restaurants, but most places did seem quiet. Was delighted to see so many people I've met before, and others I met this t...

Appreciate meeting some of you on first pass through this trip..... Multiple invaluable suggestions me thinks on construction and our plans going forward. buksida---please drop a note I'd like to know more about your construction experience...also that electrical approach...very interested! Hope to ...

Thanks again Buksida....I am coming for the quiet and enjoyment of the environment, so, I can wait around for the upswing. I'll be hitting all the local spots to see and talk and hear...Merry Christmas to you all.

Thanks buksida.... pity...that food at country looked really good.....sigh So here it is high season---and Coco (closes early), Why Not --- anything else open? the ITalay restaurant--but that's Thai-food almost exclusively.... Seems like the Tourism and activities of Immigration have cast a cloud ov...

So dropping in 2nd and 3rd week of Jan....I-Talay...

Wondering about Country Road? Did it close down?

What's operating these days?

Hope some of you will be at Montri's (he's still there?....please say yes....)

Merry Christmas!

Well, dang.... So I'm about 100m in from the beach--next to the Coral and up the small road from I-Talay.....at that corner...everyone is cutting across my front corner for now... Well....going to have to filter out the spikes.... Batteries are a pain--so I'd like to minimize...but, suspect I'll nee...

So what's best idea to stop frying appliances? Given we're going to get to construct a utility room, where the power will be brought into the distribution panel... I'd think serious surge protectors, and a Battery Shunt of some size..... This is probably major concern...computers are my life......so...

Oh and the property is behind the I-Talay restaurant....If it's called Cuisine, I don't know that....next to Coral hotel.

In regards to the internet----
This is what I'm hoping helps fix this over next couple years.....
