We've had 3BB for over 10 years.... I'm not sure about any ceiling for wifi use.... We've had up to 6 users + a Smart TV in use with no loss in efficiency....

They have always been fast & responsive if there was a problem = 3 times after a big storm.....Our bill is about the same per month as yours....We are in a house though, so not sure if condo services are different....

It was the first long term contract I signed in TH & I believe I had to prepay either for the 1st year, or first 6 months initially....

We've found it to be very good + dependable.....

How does all this pro/anti - UK/USA quasi mudslinging attack/hyperbole dovetail into the OP.....?

Total train wreck or just a slight derailment.....

So, where did you have those made? I would go down for that... 

Done by a relative (sis in law) of a friend that I've lost touch with....

A 2000L tank is large enough to last you 7-10 days of normal usage, you might be able to use a 1000L tank.

As for pumps and a 2 story home, I'd go with this Mitsubishi EP205/200w or a 255/250w, anything less and your pressure could be low.

We went with the Mits pump + I upsized it one size above recommended... Mitsubishi pumps are not as quiet as the other top brand but are built better from our research....

We opted for a DOS 1000L tank....

There are times I wish I'd jumped up to 1500 or 2000 liter....

We are a single level 3 bed/2bath house with 2 to 4 of us depending on school schedules.....

This system has met all needs EXCEPT when the muni water supply is stopped without forewarning & then the 1000L can empty quickly with 4 people using showers, washing machine, etc ... That's why I wished we'd gone bigger on the tank size....

If you have a large garden with daily watering take that into consideration.....

My wife drained most of the tank one time watering not realizing the muni supply had been shut down for maintenance (we do have a well & submersible pump for the garden but that pump failed & another was on order).....But that made me aware of how much was used for the gardening.....

Edit - no idea why it decided to go bold....

That looks like it's Henley style

Yes, as I mentioned in my 1st comment.....

It's a style I liked in my ball playing jersey days & was pleasantly surprised to find it popular here.....

My daughters wear my old jerseys for nighties & lounging now....

I cancelled one time because the transfer would have been instant & made it fall into the wrong month.....I did it instantly after seeing what would have happened.....

The money took about 6 days to be credited back = instant out/6 days to cycle back....

I used to always transfer on the last day of a month knowing it would hit on the 1st....This transfer taught me not to....

Coincidentally the money I moved the next day to cover ended up routing through another bank & then going the Bangkok Bank which screwed up the international coding on that transfer/deposit....

I'm affable & completely competent in my ability to engage in light conversation..... I can go full on cocktail party mode...I just prefer/choose not to.... Brevity is just fine for me....

That's on the farang side of things....

According to my wife I give too much of an answer/explanation when asked a question.... She's usually looking for a quick yes or no response......

wrong, you do not need an area to tell him the only correct way to check aircon, which you also doesn't seem to know...

 

Well - right & wrong....I had a shop in mind had he been in my area that could assist.....

I'm retired auto service industry - Lexus....

I would suspect a dye test had been performed + a vacuum pull down, as well as a sniffer test in the dash area..... It's typically going to be a small leak somewhere = it's locating it to make the repair....Every step is going to have to be repeated....

Hopefully, someone in his area has a decent shop in mind.....

What area are you in....It would be helpful to know/advise/refer ...

Ordered vitamins 2 days ago....

Received today COD....

We enjoyed our time in Rung Arroon in Hang Dong....Nice homes, small to large in a large, clean Mubaan with many parks .... 

Easy access to 108/Hang Dong Rd or the Canal Rd for shopping....Also the Hang Dong market is close enough to ride a bicycle to & about the best local Thai market around with a good diversity of shops....

It might be a good area to consider....Rents are a bargain....We had a big multilevel 3/3 house @ 13k month....

Stay away from farang based real estate offices - they will bang you up for 26-30k for what you can find 10-15k yourself....

I can find a contact phone # for you for a good Thai property manager for that area if you want to pm me.....If you stay within the Thai networks you'll be treated fairer.....

With the bars & good times slowed down some of those bored Special Forces & SAS might want to go get some exercise....You know - just to keep the killer skills up....

I stopped when Covid started.... Still unsure about the safety of it.....

Thanks, what is your account type at Bangkok Bank? I'm looking at the "basic bank account" https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Save-And-Invest/Save/Basic-Banking-Account

 

Not sure what is the best account option for me. I want no fees, and just a debit card. I don't care about saving accounts

My account IS a savings account - with a MC debit card..... I've found zero use for checks, and they may indeed be useless here....The BB app let's you pay virtually every person/vendor/invoice or bill by bank transfer, which is quick & easy.....

The MC debit card was about 400B to initially get the card - then a 100B fee per year....

I have Bangkok Bank & SCB....

BB statements are clean = just the listed transactions with zip for additional fees....

SCB has fees out the wazoo.... There's always some bank processing fees listed....

Admittedly, I didn't "shop" accounts when I signed on....Meaning one might have given me a beneficial account, while the other might have signed me on to the most adventitious type of account for their own bank/purposes....

"Although the labels say that they are all the same size the americans are slightly smaller.

Do Scotsmen have bigger <deleted> than the Yanks?"

>>>>>---------------------->

No, she thoughtfully ordered you the Scottish sized briefs.....

We use a oven that can take full size sheet baking trays (baking & pizza) + use it to make toast every day... For us, this offers the most usefulness.....It has convection & rotisserie too, but we never use those....We had a toaster & never really used it....The waffle maker sees more action.....

I make bread, and we bake, so it's handy for all the various pan sizes and cake tins.....

It might be a good option to consider....

Does she have to make actual calls, or just tie into wifi ?

I like Polo by Ralph Lauren, but I don't use often or slather it heavily....Nothing worse than someone that reeks of cologne/after shave...

I brought a bottle over with me and went to use it = empty....

It seems my wife likes likes it because it makes her feel good thinking of me and used it all up...

She has Chanel fragrances - but appropriated mine....

So, at the moment - nada....

I once sought & bought a young double yellow nape parrot, 

they were rare, and supposed to be the 2nd best talking bird....I even drove from CA into Mexico where I bought it a big black, ornate cage.....

It talked, mimicked my sneeze & was fun for awhile....It also got possessive & jealous = started screeching (loud) if I left it alone....Was chattering when I was nearby.....

I was maybe 35 at the time....That parrot's life span was rated at 70+ years..... There was no way I was going to put up with that + cart it around for the rest of my life....

I sold it (should've made a 2 for 1 package deal with ex-wife = same traits).....

You've now discovered why the bird was set loose....If you don't want another 20+ years of the same, either find a way to train it, or gift it, or set it loose....

Would the Queen's botanical gardens take it? I know there are some menageries at some of them.....
