My first real power failure I had during the rainy season. The rain had made the power box for the whole block unstable and it just said bang! The whole block off houses went out and everything went pitch black. The bang was so loud and it was only 5 meter from our house.

One house has a key to reset the main power box or at least that’s how it works in Bangkok I do not know about other cities or in the country side. If the house that has the key is not home then you just have to wait until they come back and that can be the next day.

So what to do in a dark house with no power and its raining? You find a flash light but I had not bought one because that’s not the first thing you do when you move in to a new house in a new country.

The next day I went looking for flash lights but most lights where just crap so I start looking on the internet and found OpticsPlanet.net. They sell flash lights that to used by The Police, for Firefighting, military purposes and off course to people that had there first power blackout in Bangkok. They also sell pelican flashlights that are safe to use if you have a gas leak and can be used under water, witch is good because it can rain a lot in Thailand.
I bought a Pelican Laser and I am now ready for the next power blackout, bring it on!

Are you looking for Properties Overseas? You want to move to Thailand and enjoy the sun and the long beaches? There are many advantages to relocate to Thailand and many people come to stay and they never looked back even once. But before you buy a house abroad and especially in Thailand there is many things to think about. If you take for example the new airport in Thailand thousands of people have been affected of the loud sound the aircrafts produce. Or take the flooding this years they were the worst in 50 years is next years going to be any better? Make sure you do a background check on internet before you buy a house, check many houses and rent a house stay in the area. Only when staying in the area can you really see what it’s going to be like all year and then you can decide if you really want to live there. There is many websites that displays properties to buy abroad we found Property Mart Overseas very interesting because they had a wide selection of countries not only Thailand.

Are you looking for a broker to sell you house or apartment in Thailand? The problem with Thailand real estate brokers is that they have no diploma or other government approval, basically anyone can be a real estate broker.

You also never know what kind of customers they have or how many actually visit them looking for you kind of property. Therefor be very careful signing a one real estate broker exclusive even if many insists you do it for them to start selling your property.

Rather then signing an exclusive deal with one broker go for a one month deal and see how it goes from there, did the broker bring you any customers at all? Be careful with brokers sending you there friends to act as dummies to impress you with there many clients. (it actully happens)

One thing you can do is check out web sites for properties to buy overseas
,we found a web site with overseas properties very useful. These real estate brokers advertises outside Thailand and puts money and effort to sell your property. Do a search on Thailand and you will find many real estate brokers in your area, click on the contact or broker button to get the address or phone number to the broker in Thailand.

A last reminder If you have a loads of photos of your property do not show them all pick the very best once. You can
