I am no smoker but mf gf smokes a cigarette from time to time. Now she often uses the "Thai" solution, an old bottle with a little water inside. This will prevent fires and prevent smell. It works, but it looks horrible. I remember ashtrays like this from the past. Do they exist in Thailand? What are they called? And where are they available online or offline? Any other idea about "closed "ashtrays?

The problem is not that they start to burn. The problem is that it is nearly impossible to stop a lithium battery fire. It's easy to find many articles and videos about this problem.

I own a condominium and I am happy that there are no EV charging stations in our building. That will help to prevent fires in the building. I also suggested to the committee that nobody should be allowed to take any small EVs like scooters up to the residential area. The risk of fire is just too high.

As far as I know there is also a Thai version of an audio magazine - printed. I saw them some time ago in Bookazine. I suggest buy one, even if you can't read Thai. They will likely have ads from shops and possibly also a private for sale section. Good luck!

It seems you have a very simplistic view. I guess you will feel comfortable with the rest of the simplistic MAGA crowd. And no, I am not a fan of Biden. He is bad. And the DEMS are bad. But still better than the alternative.

Many media, including BBC and others, have often bad or misleading information about Thailand. It seems they have their narratives, and they want to give their readers and viewers a certain perspective. It seems often they don't care if it is accurate or true information. So, a little bit more misinformation from TikTok doesn't really matter. Anybody who wants accurate information would anyhow never watch TikTok for anything else than maybe cat videos.

I am sure you know that capacitors come in all sizes and types and voltages. If people know what they are doing, then there is no problem. But I know from my own experience when I started with electronics and harmless 5V or 12V that things can go boom and the magic smoke appears. With high voltage that can be deadly. It seems too many people watch some YouTube video or something in a forum and then they think no problem, I can do that, and then things go wrong. Below is a deadly example.

Is that your only criteria if someone is a maniac? Listening to any of this speeches for a couple of minutes should be enough.

Do you really need to ask?

Trump is obviously a maniac. But it seems many US politicians from both parties like lots of wars and giving big money to the industrial military complex.

Following above link it reveals: By Isaac Herzog Mr. Herzog is president of Israel. Nobody expects from the president of Israel a balanced or truthful article. It's propaganda for Israel. Not more, not less.

Are you sure it's a good idea to publish something like this here? Thinks can go wrong. Very wrong! I think for people who are not used to playing around with electricity, it's best to buy quality products from brand name companies - with warranty.

I feel safe in Thailand. I don't think the safety in Thailand will change much in the foreseeable future. Putin is not mad. He knows what he is doing. And it seems he gets away with almost anything. I am most concerned about the USA, their military industrial complex, and their millions of christian fanatics. Many of them are looking forward to the rapture, they want war in the middle east, the bigger, the better. Many Evangelicals See Israel-Hamas War as Part of a Prophecy - Bloomberg

I cut it with an angle grinder. I am sure an ordinary metal saw will also work.

My comment was about wet tissues, which someone recommended. See above.

How? I guess there will be some kind of sensor to make sure a person is sitting on the toilet.

I guess this thread shows the age of many members here. Many of us remember the good old times from 20 or more years ago. But few of us know what is currently happening late at night... One of my first activities on the internet in about 1994 was to read the newsgroup about Bangkok. One person asked about Thermae and what's going on there. One guy answered like this: You can't really compare it with anything. But if you want to compare it to something then think about the bar in StarWars (obviously the original movie). Thats the closest comparison that fits. I agree. Those were the times.

I suggest google the product name and "wiring diagram" or something similar.

I think the only good option for you is to find a decent electrician. I understand that might be difficult. But it will still be easier than learning all you need to know yourself. And as you know mains voltage can kill you. It's not something you want to play with and find out you made some mistake. To find a decent technician I suggest talk to businesspeople. Maybe there is an international hotel near you. Find out if they have an electrician and ask him if he knows someone he can recommend (probably he will recommend himself). But be prepared for bad news. Many electrical installations in Thailand are absolutely horrible. There is no good and easy way to fix them. The only good way is often rip it out and do it again. Good luck. You will need it.

You could check in the news of that time what she did. And you could read about why she fled out of Thailand. I guess the only excuse which she has is that she didn't know what she did. She just followed the orders of her brother. If you think she is innocent, then I guess you lived for too long in a red village or you get your "news" from fb and Nit and Noi.

555 High fines would be a good idea. And obviously someone has to enforce the laws. I thought that is the job of the police, but it seems they don't think so.

Look at the top of the page. I guess the low Soi numbers are the reason why they call it lower Sukhumvit.

Mostly I wake up when the sun rises. And I am most productive in the morning. That is the case for me, and my gf. If you want to wake up in the afternoon and party or work all night that is fine with me. Whatever you like.

But many are utterly stupid. Not all, but many. Are you one of those woke worriers who don't want to hear the truth anymore?

I have no problem if they drink water of coke from such machine. It costs basically nothing for the restaurant and helps the drivers through the day.
