Claiming disability benefits does not stop you having savings. He could have savings from before he was disabled or he could have inherited some money it really doesnt matter. If he does have savings it would be better if he could show how he accumulated them. If he has house of flat where he can ac...

Hi Ground Engineer Just because your friend is on disability benifits does not mean that he will not be able to get a UK settlement visa for her ( I assume its a settlement visa he wants ) If he can show he has accomodation for her and some savings that would help. Also it doesnt cost twice as much ...

We land at Udon airport at 13.25 on 12th December, we need to go into Udon town and buy one quickly before we drive to Sakhon Nakhon. Can anyone suggest a shop where we can get a good deal, if you can give me a grid reference then I can look on the Udon map. What is the price of a 125cc Honda Wave ?...

ive been very lucky with this flight, only 50 minutes in Doha airport for the change going to Thailand and 60 minutes change over coming back

I got the airmiles worked out wrong, however at 15596 qmiles per person per trip we will still earn 93576 qmiles between us in 3 trips which will be enough for 1 free ticket in low or high season.

Ive registered for the Qatar Privilege Club so when my wife and myself have done this return trip we should have about 31192 miles. After our 2nd flight we will be silver members and earn 19494 miles each per trip. So if ive got this right after 3 trips we will have 101372 airmiles and would now be ...

I heard on the radio a few weeks ago that the diesel engine was originally designed to run on nut oil.

in the UK diesel is around 95 pence per litre in the last few weeks it has been ฃ1. I find my Diesel Daihatsu Fourtrak runs great on vegetable which I can buy from any supermarket for 43 pence per litre. I also use our old vegi oil after we have cooked with it, I filter this first though. Theres a...

This building company seems a bit expensive, the cheapest plans are 770 000 baht for a bungalow with an interior size of only 8 metres x 9 metres ( 72 sqm )

I think I would want to build something single story of about 150 sqm

What would you expect to pay ?

Andy

What are the planning laws regarding building a house in or near to Udon. In England we have Green Belt land which can not be built on, is this also the case in Udon ? I see there are a few pieces of land for sale on FBi but they are 14 KMs from Udon, what would you expect to pay for a building plot...

Hi Mike

Do you have any photos of the build so far ?

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Jimbo.

It says

Average electricity per month - 600bt-800bt

Average water cost per month - 200bt-400bt

Do these figures sound about right ?

what about Gas ? does everyone have to buy gas in bottles ? how much ?

Cheers
Andy

What would be the basic monthly costs for Electric / Gas / Water and are there any monthly charges from the town for garbage collection etc. Please base the figures on 2 people living in a small house or bungalow.

Cheers
Andy

yes thats worth considering, ive done the 15 day extension lots of times in Bangkok and Pattaya. If I was coming to stay for a long period of time I would come with 60 day visa from the Thai embassy in UK. I do believe though that you can only extend a visa once. Then when that runs out you could do...

Ive been looking through the houses on FBI Udon Real Estate and the houses seem really cheap. Ive seen ones between 850000 and 1.7 million that I would be happy to live in. Are there any catches or are they just cheap because its a much less popular area than say Pattaya or Phuket ? Are there any ar...

Thanks businessman
