A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

Yup Hakka uses quite abit of other stuff in their cooking.

This one is the one with nuts, veg and tea. Healthy healthy one then pls go for this.

But i think this one is bestest. 1 serving can whack at least 3 bowls of rice.

Hehehe. This is one real healthy food. Think I will try to cook lei cha fan one of these days.

It's okay, bro.

I remember the first time I asked for a quotation for my kitchen cabinet, the Thai contractor recommended by my property agent offered to do it for 200,000 Thai baht. It's for a cabinet slightly bigger than the one you saw at ChFC's apartment. And when quizzed about how expensive it was compared to cabinets made in Singapore, he claimed he was offering me Black African granite. KNN, it's the usual black color granite you see anywhere. So I tell you when they know you're Tangchak, the Thais can be pretty ruthless !

Try buying the materials from Homeworks and homepro.

Is Baan Chang further away from BKK compared to Pattaya ?

Not sure if it's polite to ask you this. How much did they charge you for your 2nd office ? Excluding aircon.

Baan Chang is east of Sin City. So it should be further from BKK.
Hehehe. Will not discuss renovation cost here.

KYP I have attempted on seeking renovation help before when a "friend" needed to renovate a new house about 170 sqm. I tried to look for a renovation contractor and/or carpenter so I seek my partners' help and all 3 of them told be separately the same thing, go get an interior designer to design and then let him handle the whole project. I told them I already did it but I had to pay like a 100k to the interior designer for the fucking drawing and more if he were to manage. Then I asked them I only wanted a simple carpenter to do the build-in they told me normally no one do this they will get a big ID company to handle. So I realised that in Thailand there is not such service as like renovation contractors. Being in the construction trade I also found out that this is true as contractors are usually too small and/or too poor to be on their own so they will "ride" on a bigger company like and ID. Shitty system here la.

For my house that I will build in future I think I also lanlan must pay for nothing.
