  1. Same when I lived in Saudi. The warranties were greatly reduced, I guess due to the high temperatures, large temperature fluctuations, battery life, etc. If a battery lasted three years you were doing well. Even servicing was a lot more frequent at 5,000 km due to dust and sand etc.
  2. Only 2 hours. He needs to come to our village then, we have power outages at least once a week, and never less than three hours. OK investigate the fire, but nothing will happen, as usual, He is just banging the drum to say He did His job.
  3. Exactly what happens to the tax on fuel in England. They levy the fuel tax, then add VAT onto the total, so you are paying tax on your tax. All tax is theft, pure and simple.
  4. I guess we now know at least one of the items that was up for discussion the other day when Teflon Thaksin had His meeting with the P.M.
  5. Good they got this piece of scum off the streets, however, what a shame they do not address the same problem with their own Nationals with the same zeal, and news exposure.
  6. Let us just say it is way North of Bangkok. Two years ago the power was off from 7 am until 8 pm for "preventative maintenance" to improve the system so it did not go out during thunderstorms. Four days later we had a storm.....guess what happened.......When enquiries were made the fault was in another part not upgraded..... total bull. The only improvement is that apart from when the drunks take out the poles it is normally re connected within 2 hours of calling them. Last month, they came out, fixed it, and it lasted 15 minutes before we had to call them again. It is just a part of life here I have got used to.
  7. All well and good IF you have the power in the first place. It is quite common in our area for the power to go off at the slightest provocation, a bird perching on the wire, a spattering of raindrops, a snake in the works, or a drunk Somchai taking out a power pole at 8 at night. Last night the power went off at 10 minutes to nine, and came back on at exactly 6 this morning. I, like most everyone else am looking forward to the rains, but that is tinged with the certainty that the power will be off daily.
  8. I would not hold my breath, they will flip flop back next month.
  9. Now THAT is funny. The Average Thai could not give a rats a** about the natural landscape as long as it is good for a few Baht earnings.
  10. Agreed, nothing to do with climate control, I still believe it is all part of the future control. 15 minute cities, CBDC, etc. People may tell me to adjust the tin hat, but you only have to look towards the banks to see what is happening.
  11. Will they have to pay the 300 Baht fee to enter when it is implemented...
