Past experience, stay away from suspended ceilings. My first home in Thailand I was away working periodically in Vietnam. Left the project managing to my other half. My fault in hindsight, I forgot to tell the builder I didn't want suspended tile ceilings. Came home after it was finished and the village the house was in, the road at the front was the Red dirt road. Pickups kicked up clouds of dust, which made its way into every room in the house through the ceilings and the aluminium window frames. Forever cleaning, although the family being farmers a dirty environment was normal for them.
You as well as all the other keyboard warriors, forgot to mention the agents commiting a crime by processing the paperwork for you. I get the impression from the warrior expats that they think it's only the farang that is commiting an offence and not the agents ffs. The righteous on FB need to get a life.
but there's a lot of expat Angels on FB., that have a very negative view of anyone using an agent. Probably just because they've done it by the book, they think anyone that uses an agent is a criminal. They're always commenting to posters that they are doing something so called illegal, but they never mention that the Thai agents are complicit in this. 🤔 wonder why 🤔
