  1. The earthquake response team leader at Boonthavorn today.
  2. It would be interesting to see the details of that 2021 mandate, but I sincerely doubt it is anything near the kind of rigorous standards Japan has. There are far more newer buildings on the list of 38 damaged buildings in Bangkok. Maybe because newer buildings are taller, but it could also be that older, pre-'97, buildings were over engineered, simply because computer models and design s didn't exist at the time.

  4. "A stone for Danny Fisher" Facing poverty and daily encounters with his violent, anti-Semitic neighbors, Danny must fight both inside and outside the ring just to survive. As his boxing becomes legendary in the city's seedy underworld, packed with wiseguys and loose women, everyone seems to want a hand in Danny's success. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1241415.A_Stone_for_Danny_Fisher
  5. This is how it came down. AQPbTQRjk-7tQImAc8pAHKExIy92HZ81Wy3uEQXCOTDUb_r_JbFTq8LnSintm3LbogI3seJczjtx5SN1DvUmlh2J (2).mp4

  8. An alternative quotation from https://www.solartop.net. 293,000 baht for all the components vs. 481,000 baht for a fully installed system. Solartop seems to be a major importer and have really good pricing. Batteries and the inverter are VAT except. A few cable lugs and cable trays might still be required, but other than that it is a complete system.
  9. Breakfast with peas 🫛 😋 is a thing.
  10. I agree. Profit + VAT makes it less attractive. The major components, Inverter, 3 x batteries + panels is 175,000 baht. I will check with a local electrician if it os a job for him. The 15 kWh are too heavy to transport. Even the 87 kg 10 kWh will be a challenge.
  11. The quote arrived. 481,000 baht for 10 kW inverter + 18 panels and 30 kWh battery. The 65,000 baht in labor, 15,000 in permits and 31,000 baht of VAT do add up, but ballpark as expected. I am still waiting for a quote from CBC.
  12. I have never seen this type of traffic light signals in Thailand 🇹🇭, can you share a picture of a location?
  13. In fast moving traffic, it could be a recipe for disaster, but you would be surprised how often the white car, even when going straight, will stop and let the yellow car turn in Bangkok's stop-n'-go traffic.
  14. I think is has something to do with traffic flow. Imagine an endless row of cars are following the white car. Without this rule, the yellow car would have no chance to make the turn. How is the faulty inverter? Back running trouble free again?
  15. Like this. Yellow car has the rightaway.
  16. Correct. It is even less intuitive when it is a T intersection and both cars are turning from the main road to the side road. The red car 🚘 still has the rightaway. That was also on the DLT test.
  17. One (last) question 🤔. Is the inverter sensitive to a bit of ground leakage or will the system only trip if an external ELCB or RCBO breaker is installed? My outdoor lighting has a couple of cable joins that are just isolated with black electric tape. I have tried to fix it, but the LED lights still glow on rainy days, so I suspect the ground leakage is a bit more than the 40 mA required to trip an ELCB breaker. I measured 32 VAC from the connection to wet ground.
  18. You are asking about the below, just for left hand driving. Most intersection here will have a dedicated green arrow for the right lane crossing turn. In your case, the left turning car will have the rightaway.
  19. MG should improve their parking sensor system.
  20. That is absolutely brilliant. I see you have different settings during the day, so during cloudy days, you will always start the night with 50% batteries. Just one question, shouldn't your grid charge settings be ON? What brand of inverter are you using?
