You member status reflects your experience in Thailand. Probably you don't know it, but you could look it up: There was a time when Thaksin or one of his minions was in charge and at that time he owned the courts. Nobody dared to convict him. You could look up his "honest mistake" when he became PM - just for a start. Prayut removed a criminal corrupt government because the police didn't do their job and the courts didn't do anything. So much about military control of the Thai justice system... And again, just for the record. Only because A is bad doesn't mean B is good. A and B can be bad or A and B can be good, or anything in between. We shouldn't try to put everything in black and white boxes.

Maybe you should engage also the 2nd half of your brain. Yingluck and Thaksin being criminals doesn't mean Prayut and everybody else is clean. One main difference is that Thaksin and his little sister are convicted criminals. With other people you have to find evidence, prosecute them and then convict them first. You know, these little things which happen before people are declared guilty.

Trump was also elected. At least over there some people understand that doesn't allow him to be above the law. But then, many voters over there are just as ignorant as many Thais.

Sure, investigate him. And if there is evidence that Biden did something illegal then investigate him as well. But imagine the DEMs would insist that Ivanka and Jared Kushner should be investigated (I am sure a reason could be found). How would the GOP react? Like: How dare you drag his daughter and her husband into this. Same, same, not much different.

Why is the son of the president such a target for the GOP? Personally, I think if there is evidence then he should be prosecuted. And that has nothing to do with who his father is. If the GOP are so keen to investigate crimes, then maybe they should start with Trump. That should keep them busy for years.

Many of us see prettier girls every day just walking around the streets or shopping malls.

Go ahead with your medicine. Do you have any other criminal heroes you want to tell us about?

Why should I, or anybody else, like criminal who like to show off that they are above the law? Obviously, there were and are lots of corrupt people all over Thailand. The main difference was that Thaksin made it in your face. Look, I made all this money, and you can't do anything about it. Look, I am above the law. And now he is in the desert and dreams about how wonderful it would be to be in Thailand. I hope he comes back, and they put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Karma!

Do you think Yingluck is innocent? Do you think people should be allowed to flee the country because otherwise they might get arrested? Do you think Thaksin and his family should be above the law? There is little doubt that the Shinawatra family is guilty as charged for many crimes. If they think they are innocent, then why don't they fight in the Thai courts? Let's not forget why Yingluck's government was removed: They tried to whitewash her brother, together with many other criminals, somewhere in the middle of the night. If Yingluck would have worked for Thailand and not her brother, then she wouldn't face any charges.

And now learn how to make videos of such a rolling rocket. My favorite commercial.

Next question: When can I buy a car which is faster than 500km/h? Not that I need it, but 500 sounds so much better than that boring 400km/h from that Bugatti Chiron...

Really?

Thanks for your reply. 16A x 230V = 3,680W That is a LOT of light! Maybe our misunderstanding is just about the word "power". What is in your opinion a "power circuit"? I guess we agree that a heater, with maybe 5kW or 7kW, needs a lot of power and we can call it a power circuit. But how about a fridge? Or a fan? Or a big stereo? All these devices don't need much power.

There are also lots of interesting videos on YouTube and some people who know what they are talking about. This is one interesting video, and the guy has a lot more of the same. Thomas Nagy - YouTube

I used a cheque. The land office had a copy of the cheque, and I actually gave the cheque to the previous owner after I received the title with my name on it. As far as I know a cheque is the usual way to do this kind of business. The cheque has the name of the receiver on it, and it can only be transferred into a bank account by the receiver (showing his ID card or similar).

A RCBO will only work if all the wires are connected correctly. It detects if the current on L is not the same as the current on N. If N is not installed correctly then this can't/won't work!

That reminds me of that night when I was really unhappy, and I decided to get drunk. I bought a bottle of whisky and almost finished it. Almost. With about one or two drinks left in the bottle my body told me I had enough, and I stopped drinking. The next day I was tired but no headache or hangover. ????

Maybe you should work more with electricity instead of wood... I am not smoking anything. In Germany 1.5sqmm is used in houses for 16A breakers if the cable is not longer than about 17m. If that is good enough for a country with at least a million security rules and regulations then it's good enough for me - even in Thailand.

He gets half of the money and has no old wife anymore. Win/win.

Lots of money and the divorce settled within days. Time to party!

1.5 sqmm is used with 16A breakers since forever. And in lots of tables that is recommended. IMHO 16A and 1.5 sqmm is sufficient from most devices and installations. Any device which needs more power like hobs, heater, etc. are obvious.

As far as I remember there is a difference which "coffee" you drink. I think Espresso is less problem for the stomach compared to regular (filter) coffee. But it's long time ago that I read about that. Now I drink only espresso and I don't have any stomach problems.

Some time ago I read on Wikipedia that more than 10 shots Espresso per day might be poisonous. This is why I make sure I don't drink more than that - and 10 is anyhow enough for one day.

Mostly I drink 4 to 6 shots espresso per day. But sometimes up to 10. And sometimes none at all. I drink it because I like it. If I don't drink it, then I am maybe a little tired, maybe. I guess it depends on each individual, but in general I think caffeine addiction is overrated. Drink it if you like it and don't drink it if not.

Why not? And which country's beef do you like and why? For me there was a time when I didn't consider Thai beef for steak. I have not much idea about meet in general. Next time my gf wanted to make beef stew I ask at the counter in Foodland which beef they recommend for that. They told me ribeye, and that is what I bought (maybe 400B per kg). And after doing that a few time my gf suggested we should try to use that Thai ribeye meet for steaks. So we tried. I was surprised how good it was. Now we eat Thai ribeye steak regularly. It's good and not expensive.
