Maybe you haven't noticed that it is now hot season.

I am curious as to what you did to piss someone off that they would rat you out as a dealer. My guess would be an exgf.

I'm just waiting for someone to say " America - Budweiser " lol
America does make some excellent beer. however Budwieser is not one of them.
My favorite is Moose Drool Ale by Big Sky Brewing Co., Rogue makes a really nice red and a smoked porter. Pyramid has an amber which is not bottled, only kegged and sold at their restaurants. It is charged with nitrogen and pours like Guinness. The list goes on, most of which the masses have never heard of or tasted as many can only be obtained locally within a limited distribution area.

Some people are not happy unless they are complaining about something.

How can someone be clearly guilty of having black skin. I didn't know being a black person was a crime.
In English we call that sarcasm.

Baffles me why people come to the forums for silly shit like this.

When I was 6 I was scared to stay home alone too.

does some one want to slap the OP around the head with a dead fish for being such a silly boy and tell him you do know its a dog
Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for an hour and see which one is happy to see you when you let them out.
Now who deserves the AC?

Not sure about the fees for what you ask but another option is to continue deposits as they are, open an account at BKK Bank then set up a bank link to BKK Bank in UK using the routing number there and your account number here and ACH money whenever you need it. Maximum charge will vary depending on how much you transfer but will never exceed 500 baht.

Good thing he is not violating any labor laws. He is definitely not taking a job from a Thai, no Thai would be caught dead cleaning a public place.

Question: If I run my air cons 24/7 while at home, will it save on my electric bill than to have my wife continuously shutting off the air con in the living room when she gets cold and then turning it back on which at that point must cool the entire house again....our house is quite large and has an open plan, so turning the a/c on in the living will cool basically all the house except the bedrooms. I have to imagine that keeping the a/c running on auto will keep the a/c from working too hard when you turn on and off and on and off as it must cool the entire house and puts a strain on the system.
Any thoughts?
Related to this discussion, if your air conditioning is used, and lets say it's 100 degrees outside. You want to get a room to 70. Once the room reaches that temperature with the air conditioning, does it take any more air conditioning usage to keep it there than it would if you wanted it at 75 and maintained it at THAT temperature–given a reasonable amount of insulation and a sealed environment for the room? So, over an eight hour period, other than the initial cooling period to get the temp to either 70 or 75, would the air conditioner have to work any longer to keep the respective temperatures stable.
I’ve heard fans can keep skin temperatures feeling 10 degrees cooler. Any truth to that, enabling less electrical usage of the air con?
On most ACs the compressor is running full while cooling, the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain temperature based on input from the thermostat. Every time the compressor turns on there is a spike in power which uses more energy than while running. Variable speed air conditions, or inverter AC will vary the speed of the compressor to maintain temp rather than cycle on and off thus reducing energy usage. Of course the better insulated the room is the temp will be maintained with more efficiency.
Regarding fans, when the air blow across you you will lose heat through convection resulting in feeling cooler. A fan in an empty room or that is not blowing on you is actually counter productive due to the fan motor being a source of heat. However the fan could be configured in a window or as some type of exhaust to keep air flowing in the room which would help keep it cool.
Another thing to consider is humidity, the comfort level for humans is 70%. With a constant temperature you will feel cooler as humidity increases to 70% the start to feel warm as humidity increases beyond that.
The AC doesn't really work harder to cool the house, just longer. It's hard to say really without doing an assessment of the home. Best thing to do really is set the thermostat at a comfortable level, for me 27 or 28 is good but I think most people like it at 25. One thing I noticed with Thais is they either hate AC or set the thermostat to 15. I imagine your wife sets it colder than comfort level, and if this is the case energy is being wasted cooling beyond what is needed. This could be compensated a bit if the house is extremely well insulated ie doble or triple pane windows, no cracks, high R value insulation, trees to shade southern exposure, etc.

Check the specs on the AC for the max wattage. Multiply that time how many hours the AC is running per day, multiply that by 30, then multiply by the price per kWh. That will be a little higher that what the AC actually uses but the excess could be considered his share of the rest. But for only 700 baht per month the margin of error is probably only 30 baht or so.

Many of the tailor shops only measure. The actual tailoring of the garments is done at a different location with many shops providing specifications.

When you find something you like write it down or if you are technologically advanced you can take a picture of it with your phone.

The child needs to have an ID to start. There is some paperwork that should be prepared by a lawyer and I believe it needs to be signed by a judge before going to the land office.

DON'T keep them outside. Start with crate training, and the most important thing is give them attention, keep them occupied until they tire out. A neglected dog will just be destructive, bark when the wind blows and can become territorial being aggressive towards other dogs and people passing by. If you are just looking for a lawn ornament better to give the dogs to someone else and get a lawn gnome.

Notify the Russian embassy, good chance for them to run some decent PR
Do't think the Russian embassy would do much good. Those guys aren't getting along these days.

Can I make my 90 days ED extension anywhere in Thailand?
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

I am REALLY interested to learn Thai and I think the new rule sucks. I much preferred 9 hours per week in 3 days vice 8 hours per week in 4 days. The extra 100 km per week isn't fun and is just another expense.
