I am confused. I have a big stainless-steel pot from Seagull which I bought some time ago in Foodland. It is not magnetic. I tested it with a strong magnet. No reaction at all. So, I thought, just for the fun of it, let's try to warm some water in that pot on my induction hob. And, surprise, the water cooks. Maybe a little slower than with another pot, but still fast enough. So, what is this all about that non-magnetic pots don't work? I also tried what I think is an aluminium pan, and that one doesn't heat at all.

That's another reason to stay in Thailand.

Single portable are available for cheap. Big powerful units, which need big breakers, are more expensive. As far as I know even the cheap once do the job and are a good introduction to get a feeling about induction. My own summary, which is also similar to what others say on YouTube: It heats extremely fast, a lot faster than anything else. You can adjust the energy input precisely, and the change happens instantly.

Most stainless steel is not magnetic. Some is. If you need to know the details, google it.

Intelligent people don't have to be nice people. And some high IQ people have difficulties understanding how stupid those low IQ people can be. In general, I am pretty sure most of my good friends are smart. And in many ways that makes life easier. But I also know a couple of smart people who I don't like and don't want as my friends. And then there are some not so smart people who are nice, and I like to see them. It's nice to be smart. But it sure is not everything.

Yesterday I cooked potatoes and I started with the maximum power. It was an amazing sight how fast the water was boiling and the movement in the lower pot (I guess from all that energy inducted into it). I guess the old but working pot which I used yesterday was never designed to absorb so much energy so quickly.

I only read one page of comments. But it seems everybody here is happy that that guy probably has to leave the country. I don't know him and looking at the picture he doesn't look like a nice guy. But in a way it should scare us that we live in a country where a little problem can escalate into bye bye Thailand in a few days. Who of us behaves all the time always correct? I don't think I ever kicked a Thai person. But I definitely had some bad words for some idiots. And maybe I didn't let that Mercedes pass as the possibly hiso driver demanded. I guess the above event is a reminder to all of us that our lives can change suddenly and dramatically if we are not careful.

The almost funny part about that is the fact that I guess no more visa extension can happen to almost anybody of us. Someone suddenly finds something which wasn't a problem for years, something has to be investigated further before any extension, there is always something which could be used as a reason. I guess if he wants to continue to stay here, it will be expensive. And that obviously doesn't guarantee that no additional problems are found in a few weeks or months. TiT

Whatever you do, make sure you are far away from the kitchen.

They look nice. Did you buy them in a shop in Thailand? Where? I see them online, but I would prefer to see them in real before I buy them. Buy Quality Ceramic Non Stick Kitchen Cookware | FIKA by Neflam – Cook with FIKA

Ok Any specific brand? How do you like them? Would you buy them again?

In my new kitchen I have induction hobs. Some of my old pot and pans work, some not. As far as I know it's easy to check if they will work. If they are magnetic, then they will work. If not, then not. Now I want to buy some new pots and pans. It should be quality, but I don't need anything designer or fancy to show off. They should just work. Can anybody recommend what to buy and where? I.e. Central Department store or something like that? In this case I want to buy them in a real shop and not online so that I can look at them in real. I look for a shop somewhere in central Bangkok. Thanks

He is a wonderful example for people who think Thailand is lawless and people can do anything. In principle yes. But if they upset the wrong people then suddenly people will remember all those little things which didn't matter in the past. I don't think he will be able to continue his stay in Thailand for long. So sad...

1) Phuket is controlled by the Thai mafia. 2) If any foreign mafia works in Phuket, then only because the Thai mafia allows them to work there. 3) So, whoever is seen doing the crimes, we can be sure Thais profit from it.

Maybe they should learn a little about history. Or just look for a minute at some pictures on google. That should be enough to remind them that their comparison is total BS.

An RCBO makes that circuit independent from the rest. That's what I would use. And make sure the size of the RCBO and cables are according to the recommendation of the charger.

No I actually read your whole comment. You are the one who could have asked the only person who knew the answer to your question. But you decided not to ask that person but here everybody else. Don't you think such behavior is a little strange?

"a commercial space"? So it seems she built residences in an area which was not used for residences, and she hoped that all will be quiet outside. Interesting

And now you ask here and expect an answer? It's like: The police stopped me 3 weeks ago. Tell me why.

Do they sell exclusive to foreigners? Or do Thais who buy also have the same problems? Lots of foreigners somehow think that if they invest in Thailand all is regulated and enforced just like home. It isn't! It's stupid and naive to spend many millions without knowing what could go wrong.

No word about enforcing any laws? As far as I know Thailand has a lot of laws, including laws to regulate taxis, laws against fraud, and many more. And it seems most of these laws are most of the time not enforced. It's not that the police don't know what is going on. They know, and they get paid from the offenders to look the other way. And if a farang living in Thailand knows this, then we can be sure that politicians know it as well. So what do they tell us by not talking about law enforcement? They tell us they will talk a lot and maybe add a law or two, and nothing will happen. TiT.

He probably asked his beloved wife...

I don't like Trump. But to be fair, sometimes he has good ideas.

If Thais complain about loud music, now then it must be LOUD. Maybe convince them that they are not the only people who can do that. Maybe at 6am or whenever they sleep.
