re roofing

[Antonio]

It appears that many guys here do not have a relationship at all.They seem to have a 100% business deal,nothing more.Some of us are fortunate to have a real relationship,maybe because we treat our Thai partners with respect.But many seem more interested in saving a baht-more to spend on grog to drown your sorrows-You poor Bxxtards.

You have completely missed the point,i respect my wife and have a good relationship with her,but i not going to put my hand in my pocket for everything she or the family want,would not have done it in England with my previous wife and will not do it here.
There is no set amount of money to give here only what one can afford.
I wish you well in your real relationship.

I pay my wife a set 10,000 tbh a month and it works just fine, are you qualified to give judgement on others?

Where have i give judgement,i said there is no set amount of money to give here only what one can afford.
Why don't you read the comment before you make yourself look like an idiot.

I'm a bit disappointed..FFS there needs to be some thicker skin grown, I'm an Aussie I've met Nookie and had a few drinks with him... And had a good time, he starts fishing, and he starts reeling them in.

Hello mate,hows it going....When are you back in the jungle?

Shame I seemed to have missed out on what would appear to have been a monster catch!

Antonio I am happy you said make yourself look like an idiot as  there is a difference between making yourself look like an idiot than behaving or being an idiot 24/7.. Prost Mein Fruend

Antonio...I don't understand your reply..
3 images clapping...cut and paste?

What does that mean?

Singhma i was clapping Co-Co reply to your comment.
By buying everything your T/W or T/G wants sets the standard for the future.
If you give everything in the beginning that is the standard they will expect.
Give a little and see how the response is,if it ain't good enough then just walk away,cos it wont get any better.

this advice should be pinned at Suvarnabhumi airport.

It is not being tight, it is being sensible.

Speaking generally, Thais can spend all the money you can throw at them - but their gratitude is not proportionate. You will get no more thanks for 100k than you would for 10k. You won't get any thanks anyway, but that is another matter. 

Feed your money in slowly and remember the golden rule - what you spend in Thailand, stays in Thailand. A good, rewarding relationship can be established with a step by step approach.

Learned and understood co-co!  And I certainly agree!

Just a quick follow up regarding the roofing job.  TW Mom called all the numbers I could find to get a contractor to come do the job she wants done.  No one would take it.  House is too old.  Cost as much to take it down and rebuild.  So there we are.  We will build a "modern" home later.  Thanks for all the insight on this issue.
