and: any advantage by going before the expiration date? disadvantages if going ahead of expiration date?

No outstanding debit. Everything is paid 100%. Only reason is they do not like the nose of the seller... But there must be a way to force them ????

I know what it means. So a lawyer seems to be the best option, right? An additional complaint to the landdepartment about the JPM does not care about doing her duty as stated by the condo act?

Yeah, but I did not ask neither for rent nor for buy advice ????

What to do if a JPM does not issue the Certification that a unit is free from any liabilities? From the Condo law: The Manager shall issue the Letter of Certification that the unit is free from any liabilities in accordance with paragraph two to the joint owner within fifteen days from the date on which the request has been received provided that the joint owner has fully made the payment of the debt arising out of the expenses in accordance with Section 18. If the ones in the office/JPM do not care?

Thx so much for everyone's input, still not sure if we should change to 30/100 system or not. Actually since we never had any problems, just handle it as the Thais do: Waiting until the problem is coming, do not act in advance?

My wife says 1. is for the new wiring from the street, 2. is for the new breaker which would support 30/100 and 3. is the new earthing/grounding. We have earthing/grounding but it seems a higher rating incoming would make an new one necessary (at least what they say)...

the offer is in thai only

1. No, rating not sure 2. No 3. yes, 30/100 is suggested, cable they would exchange, just 10 m We have a safety system so that even smallest imbalances should trigger a electricity stop (tested in the shower heaters, seemed to work) Photos are incoming cables, new breakers and last one old breaker, we have another new one in the 4th floor for the 4th floor

For our house we have a 25 year old meter providing a 10 (45) A connection to the grid. All of our air-conditioners together now, if run at full capacity, would consume about 9 kW per hour which is close to max capacity, right? In addition we have multiple computers, countless monitors/TVs, kitchen equipment and so on... I had the idea to let the Metropolitan electric department have a look since our neighbor, the next one on the grid added an electric car recently to his fleet and let them check if the wiring leading to our house and the wiring in our house is still sufficient for the load. I mean we have a breaker board where I can switch off every single air-conditioner, every single room in the house. Complete 100% new wiring for the whole house done 7 years ago But the guy from the electric department recommended to exchange the meter in front of the house, the wiring towards the house and a part of the breaker system. Sounds like logical to follow the recommendation, they would do it for about 35,000 Baht... Any thoughts?

I thought the fine is on the landlord... How can it be your fault if the landlord is not doing what is required by law?

You certainly bought a leveraged product with etoro. Means your profit/loss is e.g. 5 or 10 times higher/lower than the real market. Unfortunately as a EU citizen you can not buy SPY or QQQ (stupid EU regulations) but there are other ETFs replicating the SP500 index approved by the EU. I also would go for IB or Schwab, with IB you can keep your money in European currency... tasty trade is another US broker currently offering 500$ top up if you fund your account with a minimum of 25,000 us$. Currently thinking of opening a 2nd account with them... Now I am with IB Pro, pay about 25 cents for a limit order with 100 stock, which is quite good given that there interest on margin is the best in the industry...

I found e.g. this information, with a fan u do not achieve temperature lower than the ambient temperature, right? But I am not an expert...

When you have day maximum temperatures 38 degree (as ytd), morning min 29 (this morning, taken from tmd) and 3 elevator machines running the heat is just there, especially under the roof, on days without wind...

Even if most electric machines are rated to work in 40 degree Celsius environment every degree below would extend its lifetime (from what I read). A) So, what do they do in your condo? Nothing? AC? Ventilation? B) What would be the optimal situation, considering AC costs money as well... For about a year, in our condo the solution was to just open the door to the machine room (under the hot roof), temp exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in April and May for quite some time... Only after massive complaining they changed back to AC yet refusing to optimize it (yes I know, this is Thailand)...
