Yes thank you, close enough. See you Friday week.

Good to see it is back. Can you pass along the name of the school, (just like to know where I am going) and what age group is at the school. Ta.

Just checked, the government are considering a proposal to ban the new registration of LPG vehicles. To discourage its use they are also increasing the price. They apparently want people to move to CNG instead.
-
But didn't I read the other day (in an unmentionable paper) that due to the number of accidents and the shortage of LPG that they would no longer permit any new cars from using it?

And the Hangdong Relief road that has been rumoured for years.
The 'Relief Road' is actually the dual carriageway extension of Canal Road and it is being constructed at it's Southern most end at the moment, but I would think it will be some time before the project is completed as progress seems incredibly slow.
Nope not that one, the one that went around Wang Tan (area) that raised its head about 6 (?) years ago.

Try using a battery optimiser/maintainer whilst you are away. These are designed to supply a small amount of current but designed to be left connected for extended periods of time. You can check the names Optimate or Ctek and find out their capabilities. The Ctek 0.8 Amp version is available in town and I would think this would be large enough for your needs.

I will agree with the others on Sudhee after he carried out 2 spine operations allowing me to walk and work again. It took him 5 minutes to spot the problem on Scans and X-rays that I had been carrying around for 4 months trying to find answers. The last time I went to his clinic his consultation fee was 500B. If I remember correctly, he opens 3 evenings a week from around 1700 and Sunday mornings. Get there early or take a book, he gets busy!

u need to cover yourself for 3rd party in case of an accident with a thai who may try to take u to the cleaners or even get u locked up where u have to pay several hundred thousand baht bail bond to get out
this thread deals with a basic 3rd party ins and 100,000 bail bond for 1699 baht,,,,,,,,,better than nothing at a cheap price for a small scooter
http://www.thaivisa....ce-a-good-deal/
also a company called thai SRI that sell policies thru the Harley shop in wualai rd
they want 2700 for 3rd party with a 400,000 bail bond
Not for much longer. The shop is moving to a new site between Global and the underpass on the middle Ring Road

I have the TF700 which was about 19,000B in Singapore when I bought it a couple of months ago, that also included the keyboard dock, a leather case and a 32gb card. So far no problems. It appears to work well on a wifi signal my Tosh notebook cannot receive.

A couple of thousand dead drug dealers and muslim insurgents, look at the bigger picture.....How many terrorist murders and drug deaths per year in Thailand? Thaksin was working for the greater good of the Thai people.So the majority 63% approved, cool.
When can he come back and sort out the drugs plague and the war in the south?
I seem to remember the last time he did that a couple of thousand people lost their lives.
His involvement in the south left Tak Bai & Krue Sae as famous names. My Lai?
More like for the good of his greater family you mean.

Yes,read this:Honda may have record sales but they also seem to have a record number of breakdowns! Our local Honda dealer is full to overflowing and they have had my car now for over a week to replace the air con compressor. It was supposed to be ready today but now it seems it may be another 3 days!
I had intended buying a new Civic next month but after all this hassle I think I shall be going back to Toyota.

Toyota recalls 2.7 million vehicles for steering & water pump problems.
At least Toyota own up when there is a problem. There have been at least 2 recalls in the US for my model CRV but try getting those problems fixed in Thailand under warranty.
I had a mkII CRV from new. Honda could not fix the annoying problems it suffered. They had so many people complaining that there main email address refused to work, undeliverable! That was about the time a woman in Bangkok got so fed up with her CRV and Honda not wanting to give her a refund she drove it through their front wall with the tv cameras rolling. That worked, she got an instant refund. Got rid of mine. 5 sets of front shocks later!.........

Yes, Amorn also does have (did have) amp clamps for a few hundred baht as well as brand name ones for 2-3k I think. Some also have multimeters built in today.
Sucking eggs aside and for reference for non-sparkies, always check the meter across a known source before testing and also periodically resistance test the leads (should be 0 Ohmns).
Hangond Road Big C Amorn has the Unitrends UT-233 I think, 3 phase clamp meter for a tad over 6k Baht, I think the one in town had cheaper less fancy ones. Global had a digital and a mechanical Kyoritsu clamp meter
-
I bought a cheapie from amorn several years ago and it has served me well.
Those Unitrends UT-xxx have come a long way and represent very good value for money. Amazing what you can get for under 1000B. Global sells
some Kyoritsu gear, which is one of the best of the Japanese makers.

WISH I WAS THERE 15 IS GREAT WITH CLEAR SHIES .
I wouldnt be too quick on the draw. Flying home into CNX yesterday the hills and mountains to the south of Chiang Mai and looking westwards from the flight track were covered in quite a thick haze. Numerous plumes heading towards the heavens from all over.

Sorry but testing a batteries volatge does not tell you very much. You need a hydrometer and test the specific gravity of the acid which has to be 1250+ for fully charged bateries. Below about 1220 you have problems and you may need acid to bring it back.
Remember that your car will not fully charge the battery. It needs to be put on a charger to bring it back to life, THEN test it with a meter to see that it is around 12.7 volts after being left over night. If it reads in the lower 12's it is knackered.Thanks for all your comments and advice.
Special thanks to worgeordie who despite not knowing me from adam drove all the way over here just to jump start my car.
It seems I let my battery run dry of water which was causing the problem, and it seems to be solved now.
Hurrah for worgeordie for saving the day!
Actually Transam is correct, actually you are both correct in a certain sense. You can still have a failing battery even if the specific gravity is spot on and is due to the lead plating and other internal electrodes deteriorating. If just making sure the ph is correct than one would never need to buy a new battery.
The standing, unloaded voltage, will give you an idea of the condition of the battery overall if the ph is correct.Well I would query with ''Making sure the ph is correct then one would never need a new battery''. I am not sure how you maintain the correct SG in a faulty cell, been trying to do that for 40 years, usually have one duff one in the hundreds I have to test every month. If the cell is faulty you can charge the battery all you like but that cell is not going to charge and the resultant SG will be low. If it has furred up electrodes you can burp it to try and clear it, if there is debris shorting the cell out it can be washed out to try and clear it. But if that cell is faulty it is not going to charge. That SG is not going to rise. The unloaded voltage does not tell you very much, you would have to load the battery and then test the voltage before that reading became meaningful.

Rubbish to you also. The battery in my car in Chiang Mai is 7 1/2 years old and still working fine.rubbish
not in a hot climate and with airconditiong which poses a heavy drain. Possibly in a cold climate though only top quality ones last that long. In australia a standard battery will give about 2 years though a heavier duty one at nearly three times the cost is used by people like taxis to give about 5 years.
I don't know why people have to rubbish other peoples ideas or experiences but I do side with Market Trader. I have never had a car battery last less than 4 years and at 7-1/2 years MT yours is doing well. Some batteries may not last so long if people do not top the water up with distilled in a wet battery or if the vehicle has a poor or rough charging system. Off road driving can also shorten the live of batteries as lead will fall of the plates eventually. Gel batteries are sometimes damaged by charging with a charger designed for wet batteries. I have just put a new battery in my BMW bike, not BMW's 10k Baht one but one out Amorn for 1400B. The exact same one has just come out after 5 years service. If I was only getting 1-2 years I would be trying a different type. Oh and by the way, is your aircon really powered directly from your battery, presumably you do not have to run your engine then? Odd.........
As Tywais says turning the head lamps on is not going to cut it. That will take roughly what... 10A or so. The starter will take a hundred to several hundred Amps, albeit very briefly. In a batteries spec commonly called the ''cranking current.''

Avoid Ram like the plague! Money making place! Sure procedures are carried out well for eye problems, but from my experience any other issues should well be avoided by this place. Lanna is by far cheaper and far more competent!
Any other issues? IT is a business, most of them are. I could hardly walk a couple of years ago but thanks to a local doctor well known for his spinal work and a Ram operating theatre and its team I have had only minor discomfort on the odd occasion since. What price can you put on being able to walk? What price can Gladiator put on being able to see? As Gladiator says, take it as you find it, you have a choice.

Did you check Pharmaway on the bottom floor? They sell glucose test kits (or at least they did) but maybe not the ones you want.
