AHHHHHHHHH   indeed.. this whole topic is a waste of space...... technically impossible to have an earth if 2 pins.. I wonder if the circuits are the same as the 3 pin EU makes....  wow... its unbeleivable..  all this to NOT have it earthed?  what possible motivation..

 

If an appliance is double insulated then earth is not required even under IEC rules, so 2 wire connection is acceptable:

Ditto - with no taped joints anywhere, only screwed cable connectors. 

With the heat in Thailand tape will last about a year in the ceiling, well the rubbish you can buy here does, good tape maybe 2 years. So having a screwed cable connector is actually a good idea.

Slightly off topic, but I remember an old joke from the seventies about the British car industry at the time........

Outside the British Leyland plant the workers held a union meeting demanding more holidays. The shop stewards announced a compromise with management wherein there would be a 20% pay rise, a two hour lunch break, four tea breaks per shift.......and only work on Friday's..............after this a hand went up at the back and a voice said : "What......EVERY Friday!!!"

Sorry, getting my coat now..........

And after they killed the English car industry they emigrated to Australia and did the same there. True story.

The response from the CIC (clowns in charge) is for a new attraction to bring millions of tourists to Pattaya, Submarine Racing.

Plenty of laws, zero enforcement means casualties will continue to mount.

Building their own super fast charging batteries. I have a feeling this boat is going to be in the news again with a fire, explosion or both. Could be wrong, we shall see.

Just around the corner from me. Apparently the monks had emptied the donation safe to get some repairs done to the buildings. This guy has apparently been wandering around the area for a few weeks and the neighbor has seen him several times to quote "looking like he is searching for something to steal". Well he has form for stealing already. Probably did not come past us as we are in a side Soi with some really good Soi guard dogs. Anyway wife is happy this guy will not be wandering the streets for a while.

Cheers

Guess as selling to tourists business has been poor and an envelope late or light. Let that be a warning to all the others.

Are they doing unused overhead cable demolitions in Pattaya? I seem to recall they were going to after poles started falling over. Out here doing road widening, so poles had to be relocated, and the fibre optics equipment. Well Somchai demolished the cables still being used, so internet off for a couple of days. Maybe he has worked in Pattaya and throws the old cables on the fire so can get the copper out easily, hence cables burnt out.  All jokes aside they probably did not spec the cameras and power supplies for 60degc which is what is needed for enclosed equipment exposed to sunlight here, works for a while and then pop, works no more.

That is it then nobody carried enough on his behalf................so sad. No big pay out to family needed either.

I thought I remebered a wife and checking in the unamed BP I found "Nongnoot Saengpraphan, 31, mourns the death of her ex-husband, Pol Snr Sgt Maj Wichian Klanprasert, yesterday." No time to check but I thought there were a couple of kids and a payout at the time.

So something not adding up here or ever.

Incentive payments to some low level, insignificant lackeys may arrive in envelopes….but the General graduated from envelopes years ago. His share of the Voovidhya swag will arrive in the usual...well-guarded army vehicles.

 

 

 

Is that what the ones towing trailers are doing.

And the difference between a sickle and a scythe

Sickle = Used with one hand; short handle and blade; sharp on the inside curve of the blade. ... Scythe = Two-handled tool used standing up instead of stooped over; longer blade and longer handle. Used for cutting same kinds of crops as sickle. Evolved after the sickle.

Nothing to do with underage drinking and everything to do with looking after their alcohol producing mates. Remember the extension of the alcohol ban, that was dropped two days later, pressure from the mates. Remember the doubling in wine tax, same. People buying online are getting access to products not produced by the mates, so what is a good smokescreen to look after the mates. Replace "mates" with benefactors, Hiso, oligarch etc as you choose.

After release from prison this young woman who already has experience in banks will be able to work overseas in the banking world.

Assuming this Thai prisoner training is accepted in other countries 

 

After undergoing retraining will be accepted in Australia. Training = Rip off the customers, not us. OK

Correct Germany has had success. However it relies on the person who contracts the CV19 on telling the App that this has occurred. So not fully automatic as touted by the Australian government, but the system never actually got properly implemented. So for all the Apps used around the world by millions, Germany has the only one with any success.

Makes me wonder why all the governments continue to push this line. For me I am going to screenshot a correct usage of the Thai App and flash that at the checkers.

Does anyone have any confirmed reports of any of these tracing Apps having a positive result ie doing what they are all supposed to do of cross matching people who test positive, to people whom they have been in contact with. I am saying confirmed, not rumour, not hearsay but a verifiable source.

And do not highlight the Australian one as that is not even being monitored as far as I can tell. Failed the privacy test and no monitoring centre ever set up.  I have not been able to find a single verifiable case worldwide. I am assuming the governments of the world would be shouting this from the rooftops, but all I am hearing is crickets.

Since I was at several malls yesterday.....apparently they don't need tourists to make a profit. Restaurants with waits to get in, parking decks 80% full, Thais enjoying family days out and spending money.

Last Thursday of the month. So a lot of the Thai people on salary had been payed, and were cashed up. So possibly an abnormally high week at the malls. Worth remembering this as is exactly the wrong weekend of the month to go to Pattaya or anywhere else the Thais like to go when they have spare cash.

Geez...sounds like the Admiralty in 1787.

 

Let's export our convicts to Botany Bay...great beaches..hopping kangaroos..and the odd waltzing Matilda or two.

The British actually started transportation as a penalty in 1610 when they were transported to " its overseas colonies in the Americas".  It only stopped to the colonies in the Americas when the cousins over there got a bit uppity and revolted. Something called the war of independence ensued and the colonies with assistance from France prevailed.  So a new destination for the non conforming bread stealing swine was required as well as political prisoners.

On the original post, is this guy needs his meds adjusted. Try working overseas with a criminal conviction, doable but not easy.
