Do you require a battery charge/maintainer that incorporates a desulphate cycle when required? If that is the case then the smaller Ctek type is certainly available

These whistle blowers need to grow up and stop acting like little children. Learn how to protest and not make fools of themselves.

The other mob play with matches!

How can this happen with today's technology and being so big the crew cannot see these monsters moving towards them .

Sure the technology is there...but the crew in the bridge haven't got a clue how to operate them.....

More likely too much technology. Too much time looking at electrical gadgets and not enough time looking out of the windows. An all too common failing these days, quite often the OOW does not have an AB or OS as look out and if they have just been busy in port it is possible the OOW was overdue for a rest period.

Been driving Chiang Mai to Amphur Det for over 20 years so if the route I use is of any use.........

Route 24 to Ubon

Route 23 to Roi Et

Taking the northern bypass route

Route 214 From the north end of Roi Et bypass turn right onto 2116

Route 2116 Towards Route 12. This is a wide single carriageway road, usually quite fast.

Route 12 To Khon Kaen The 2116 leads onto the 12, straight on at the lights.

Route 230 Turn left onto southern KK bypass

Route 12 Pick up Route 12 on the west side of KK (Note - Very few filling stations around the bypass)

Route 12 Takes you all the way to Phitsanulok through Khao Khor and Nam Nao national park, there is a lot of widening work on this road. Exiting Khao Kho is a Bangchak filling station on the left, clean toilets and a good place to stop for a breather

Route 126 Phitsanulok bypass. As you come into the town keep right and straight on at the traffic lights. All the way to Den Chai is dual carriageway from this point.

Route 126 A few Km up the road are traffic lights at a junction. Turn right for Chiang Mai

Route 11 To Uttaradit, this is a few Km up the road and hang a right at the lights. Be very careful here. The signposting is not that good. You will see a flyover. Do not go over the flyover, Keep to the left and turn right at the lights. You have to go under the flyover. There are a number of filling

stations on the left

Route 11 Uttaradit, straight on at all the lights, big PTT station on the left exiting the town after the last lights

Route 11 Denchai, turn left the dual carriageway ends a hundred odd metres up the road.

Route 11 To Lampang. A few Km up the road there is a fork in the road with very little signposting, the road actually takes the right fork. The mountain stretch through Phrae area starts here

Route 11 To Lampang. The dual carriageway starts a few kM south of town. As you drop down into town, take the turning left at the traffic lights, marked for Chiang Mai.

Route 1. This will take you to the traffic lights (just after the flyover) at the intersection of Route 1. Take a right

Route 1 All the way to Chiang Rai

PM me if you need any further info on that route

Why you going east to go to Chiang Rai ? Your driving an extra 120 k. when its only 975 km from Sisaket to Chiang Rai instead of 1100 km your way.

If you had bothered to read my post I did actually say I normally drive between Chiang Mai and Amphur Det. I do not normally go to Chiang Rai. I am merely passing along my experience. of this route which is most of the way the Gentleman wishes to drive. I know that route and places to stop. I am actually driving in a general North west direction not east. Perhaps you could add something constructive to the original posters question and pass along your vast knowledge of this route.

Leebie

If you do end up travelling through the Phrae hills there are a number of three laners. Buses and coaches think they have the right to use up all three lanes. May I suggest you do not drive this section during the hours of darkness. :I have met a few in the past overtaking on blind corners and I have had to go 'off' road to avoid an accident.

I believe you mean Dr. Sudhee. He is semi retired but works out of Chiang Mai Ram Monday and Thursday mornings. He was surgeon to the Kings late mother and a teaching professor. He bolted my spine back together and got me walking again plus a couple of minor operations. He is one of the best people that you could possibly see.

Along the same lines.....Solar reflective paint. Anyone got any personal experience with this product/brands. Although we do have insulation I would prefer it not to heat the roof up in the first place!

Big C Hangdong Road had 3M filtrette the other day with a 2nd pack for free attached, although admittedly a bit smaller than the main pack. Probably none left by now but might be worth looking.

Watched a Thai air Jumbo this coming coming into land, wheels down, final approach, nose lifted, power piled on and away he went, that happened twice, after that it went back to Bangkok

I suggest you try it, an empty fridge will consume more electricity. Why do you say leave the door open for as short as possible..............Because you are trying to cool a much bigger area, hence, make the area smaller. I said it might sound daft, I didn't say it was.

please yourself but if you are trying to cool a space, which is easier to cool, a large empty space or a smaller empty space?

It sounds daft because it is daft.

please yourself but if you are trying to cool a space, which is easier to cool, a large empty space or a smaller empty space? Or to put it another way If you are trying to cool a room which takes less energy to cool a small room or a large room? Reduce the space to cool you save energy, common sense pal!

This may sound daft but make sure the compressor works for as short a time as possible. The only way to run any fridge is full. If you are trying to cool an empty fridge the compressors will be running for a long period of time causing the problems you have mentioned. If you unable to fill the fridge then use polystyrene blocks, as an example, to fill up the empty spaces. Is any of it iced up? It takes energy to keep that ice. As others have said check the door seals. There has to be a reason why your compressor appears to be running a long time.

"The only way to run any fridge is full."

Tis daft.

Not nec. to fill fridge with foam, just open door for as short a time as possible.

Is comp running continuously? Then thermostat may be crook. Put a thermometer in the fridge - fridge part should be just above freezing - 0 - 5°C. Or defrost timer may be stuck to on - but thermostat should override it.

A power meter can give you some useful information such as power and energy consumption.

There may be a circuit diagram inside the lower back panel, covering the compressor.

How do you get used bunker oil? Like this:

Let me try and explain. Bunker oil is fuel oil. That means it goes through the engine/boilers. The only way 'USED' bunker oil leaves a vessel is up the funnel as a combination of gases and particulates. The most common cause of what you see in that photograph is some idiot pumping their bilges or pumping another tank out after cleaning.

How do you get used bunker oil? Bunker oil is fuel oil. Contaminated or otherwise unuseable but used..........

And Biofuel don't forget, the green movement has made it a very viable commodity, and inadvertently have contributed to enormous environmental damage.

And.........made worse by the E85 fuel. Perhaps some clever clogs out there can work out how much bio mass is required to make the stuff, how much land that takes up and how much land has been diverted from food cultivation because the farmer can make more money. Apart from the high cost of all the fertilisers of course and the transportation of same. As you say it does not work out quite so green. As for why farmers burn. Give them an alternative to clearing their land that does not take any energy, does not take any time and at the cost of a single match. That will be the way they look at it I imagine.

So what, T.I.T. Lots of talk, never ever change. Third world and always will be. No matter how many shopping malls they build!

Thailand and the third-world at large aren't the only places with forest fires ... and the smokey cities that can come with them. We have this problem in USA ... and it's a problem in Europe, Central & South America, etc..

Hardly the same is it. It is not just Thailand, it is the whole of S.E. Asia that is affected by burning. Currently Singapore and Malaysia are suffering from burning in Indonesia. Why would a farmer stop burning, it does not take any energy, it does not take any time and its costs the price of one match. Give them an alternative or force punative measures. This is only one factor in Chiang Mai. The air along Mun Mueang catches in the back of your throat, you can see clouds of it rolling up the street at times. That is traffic fumes mixed in to the pollution pot. If you remember the Government here did moot the idea of raising further taxes on vehicles based on emissions. If they were really serious a good place to start would be to ban all continuously smoking vehicles, no fancy equipment required. Tuk Tuks might not be happy mind.

Maybe too practical and not weird enough for this but I wouldn't mind one. Take 2 Royal Enfield 500's and bolt them together. Called the Musket, and not surprisingly there is a musketvtwin website.

You need to fill a form in, attaching the original translation of the birth certificate from Thai to English, you also need your original birth certificate, the full one not the shortened version, copies of your passport and visa.

The best way is to talk to the consulate on the phone, the people I've spoken to were very helpful. The fee is around 6000 Baht which includes postage for the application to go to Bangkok and then onto Hong Kong and the passport returned to your home address.

No idea why other people have said you need to go to Bangkok, it's not true. I wish people would not post answers when they don't know what they're are talking about.

I have just sent off to the UK for a new passport, as far as I am aware All passports come from the UK now, they no longer come from HK. Changed a few months ago.

Not a very good answer to me. Better get another quote. No way does it change if turns off and on a lot. If that is the case the Capacitor is bad, but sounds fishy to me. Mitsubishi is a great product so most likely a leak, as they didnt insatll it correctly.

The capacitor attached to the motor is to allow a 3 phase motor to run on a single phase, without it the motor would not turn. This is the simplest method. A crude way of telling if there is little gas left in the system is to feel the air off the outside condensing unit. The gas gets really hot when it is compressed so if the air coming off the condenser cooling fan is not 'very' hot you may be short of gas. The original question pose by the OP could be, as Winnie said, icing up. If there is a lot of dirt in the evap fins (the internal unit) this could restrict air flow causing icing, or of course the thermostat could be defective and the compressor runs until such time as icing occurs. as it happens all the time it is not likely to be a gas problem. If dirt in the evap fins is a problem then a service would sort that out.

Suthep must have known the truth when he was spreading the lies about this.

If there is anybody trying to split the country it is Suthep. He wants his undemocrstic south and Bangkok to have his people's council, the rest of the country wants a democrstic government.

Wow, 2 pints of whatever you are drinking mate. You don't think there may be a little truth to it that perhaps the blame cannot be at least a little shared. I wonder who gave you that notion.

ok u were under his knife for what and did it work, he is doing my knee replacement in march, just curious

That was for a minor Carpal Tunnel operation. If you are curious about whether to trust him, he carried out two operations on my spine 3 years ago which allowed me to walk and work again, otherwise I could only walk for 50-100 yards and stay on my feet for 90 seconds before being in agony. It took him seconds to spot the problem on an MRI that many other doctors all over town missed. He carried out the operations as there was no other choice. As others have said before, he will not operate if there is another option. I had an industry medical in Singapore a while after the spine operations and the comment from the doctor there was "your surgeon had good hands!" Good luck with your operation but I doubt whether you will need it.

He also has his own clinic, down the road from Grandview Hotel. Will he be closing that outlet also?

Dr. Sudhee gave up that clinic some time ago.

Was under Prof. Sudhee's knife again yesterday and for those that use his services, he tells me that he will cease wielding the scalpel at some point during this year. I imagine that at that time he will decide whether to oversee operations or cease altogether. Currently he still works out of the Ram Monday and Thursday mornings.

Thats a Siemens Euro plug, earth strips are on the reccesses either side.

And very unlikely to find a wall socket in Thailand that fully fits such a plug incl. earth.

Thailand has a huge "selection" of different plug/sockets, not to name it "chaos"

You are quite right of course but there is provision for a ground on the plug should you choose to use it, as per the original comment.
