Names and sources for cables?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
Correct. And there is also this invention. For some devices they are necessary, for others optional. -
In part I agree with you. And obviously it is not difficult to call all his supporters uninformed stupid idiots - I am sure there are enough of them. But that is not the whole truth. That so called leader wouldn't be in that position if not lots of intelligent, well informed and rich people would support him. Poor stupid losers wouldn't be able to decide who becomes president if there wouldn't be enough powerful rich people with the same ideas. That is another part of our current media and especially social media. "The others are all stupid." No they aren't! At least not all of them.

Names and sources for cables?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
Yes, similar to this. Any objections? This is just a picture from the internet, not my installation. I will do it straight. -
Yes, correct. But sometimes they are right/correct. And sometimes not only the rightwing base should be triggered. In principle I consider myself left of center. And I see a lot of things which the rightwing, and especially the radical rightwing, do wrong. But I also see things which the radical leftwing do wrong, like above. I think the problem from many of us left of center is that we often only argue (and/or hate) all those right of us. But I think we should also acknowledge that there are some crazy radical left people and ideas which we should oppose. And we do ourselves a big favor of we oppose the radical left. Because if we don't speak up then those people on the right will rightfully point to those people on the left (anywhere a little left to radical left) and say: Look at them, they are all crazy like those people who want to be called "they". We should oppose those idiots. And what do people who oppose those crazy radical left-wingers? They vote right. If the left of center would make clear that we don't want to have anything to do with those radical left then maybe more people would think twice before they vote right. It would be great if they would just vote a little right of the radical left. They should vote for the center or maybe even a little left of center. Because left of center is still right of the radical left.

Yes, but if it is in the wall then normally single core is used - at least according to my knowledge. -
Bkk BIB extort farang country bumpkins?
OneMoreFarang replied to Speedhump's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Over the years the police stopped me hundreds of times, mostly for riding not on the left lane with a motorcycle. In almost all cases it was friendly. And in almost all cases I paid 100B or nothing at all. They want money, I think that is obvious. What is maybe not obvious is that they want money fast. Because if they have to argue for an hour to get 500B then they didn't really get much money. They could have stopped every 5 minutes another driver and collet 100B each. So one way to do this is to be friendly and have all the time in the world. A friend, who could speak fluent Thai, showed the police officers who wanted money all the other passing vehicles. 100B, another 100B, another 100B, how long do you want to talk to me? ... -

Condo neighbor noises
OneMoreFarang replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Maybe find out or ask someone to find out where exactly the noise comes from. I don't think you would hear it in your apartment if people scratch a chair or walk, even with shoes, in the floor above you. Or to be more precise you won't hear it through the concrete floor/ceiling. But maybe there is a water pipe shaft or something similar or a gap near the windows with a hole between the two floors. That's were sound can easily travel. So maybe walk through your apartment and listen where you notice the noise most. Maybe in the bathroom or entrance or window, etc. And then maybe investigate further and/or ask the management. -
I like to buy some stranded and full copper (is that the correct term?) cables to use indoors in my new condominium. I want 3x1.5sqmm 3x2.5sqmm 3x4.0sqmm. What are the official (Thai) names for these cables and what is a good (online) source for good quality with a reasonable price. It seems many places sell a lot of cables with just 2 wires without earth. I don't like that. I want these two types. Thank

How much time does your wife/gf spend talking to friends?
OneMoreFarang replied to 2long's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My gf often switches off her phone when one or two annoying friends call her more than once a day. But to be fair, when she had a drink or two too much then she calls all her friends for hours. Luckily that doesn't happen too often. -
I decided already to have a deep double sink and hot water. My gf is luckily not demanding. Most of the time her attitude is "up to you". But then again, she has a good idea about what I like and she knows it is unlikely that I will select something which she doesn't like. With the kitchen (surface) and many other things my first priorities are that they work as intended and are good quality to last some time. I would never buy anything that is the newest design only because of that reason.

Is it legal and accepted to have a small security camera at the apartment door in a condominium? I.e. if someone is at my door and rings my bell and I am not at home then I would be able to see such a person remotely. Or maybe I am home and I want to know who is outside of the door without opening the door. For some cases a door spyhole camera would do the job. But it's 2022 so why not use a camera? I have something like this in mind - just a sample.

86 type wall sockets in Thailand?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
That works if it is about the type of plugs. That is not the case for me. I need 86 x 86 which fits in the standard 86 x 86 wall box. I have an important reason for that, maybe I publish a picture when I finally found what I am looking for. -
Good comment! I think sometimes it is not only big money. Lets say someone reports that a black guy was fired by his white boss. That must clearly be racism. That white guy must be a white supremacist and racist and make sure his picture is everywhere so that everybody knows the face of that bad guy. But maybe he was fired because he did a bad job. And maybe 3 other white guys were fired at the same time. But no, that is not in the news. And who dares to question if maybe the bad work was a reason to fire that guy and not his skin color.

86 type wall sockets in Thailand?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
Thanks, don't ask me why I didn't find them... Sometimes the problem is in the detail. I.e. "your" Nano PDF file shows the square plate 86 x 86. Great! But when I look at their Thai website their "square" products are 70 x 120 and there is no 86 x 86 product on their Thai website. With Häco I found some 86 x 86 products but they seem to be all a cm or more away from the wall and not flush with the wall. Another interesting problem is that even the 86 x 86 maybe don't fit. I order this here: https://www.sahndesign.com/product/18362-16639/2-pin-amp-universal-socket It looks good. BUT the internal part is so big that it doesn't fit in a standard wall box. That is a problem for me because it has to fit... Yesterday I ordered one from LUZINO on Lazada. Let's see if that fits. If not then I will use your links to search some more...
