  1. A technical problem with a water boiler, normally used for the shower but now used as a tool in the kitchen under the sink. Ordered a Toshiba 3800W model from Lazada and fitted it in the kitchen cupboard, everything connected correctly including ‘earth’ Initially it worked properly, also tried the test and reset button, that too worked properly, up to and including hot water. But after a short while, nothing, the blue power light was off and only the LED concerns ELCB was on. Power disconnected, waited a while and reconnected, but nothing. Waited a day, plugged in and yes it worked again, again for a while. In the box and back to Lazada. The same day I went to Watsadu and bought a similar Toshiba water heater, again everything seemed fine until the next day (today) when the same phenomenon occurred again. Is anyone familiar with this extremely strange phenomenon? Your help is greatly appreciated.
  2. I think he was practising as stuntman, for the next James Bond movie.
  3. Both links are not working.
  4. This is an exaggeration; even in western countries, the punishment is not that high.
  5. The intention is good, but that's about it. It is and remains ‘Mai Pen Rai’
  6. If so, that must have been the reason they were arrested. At the end of the day, it has to stay pretty.
  7. Your observation is correct and I myself feel that it is indeed too much. But it is the I.O. in HH what is pocketing that money. As already mentioned, I don't want to have 800k in my account due to various reasons. But you talk about ‘Thai Visa Centre’, does it do the transactions throughout the country, or only in BKK.
  8. ....and they are now doing so in many countries. It's an extremely defiant culture.
  9. I myself have also been using an agent for 3 years now because I don't want to have 800k in my bank account. 1 week before I visit the agent, I deposit 800k in my. bank account. The total amount I spend annually for this is 25,000 thb including the commission to the agent. (5000 thb)
  10. Do you mean food made from Thai dogs?
  11. My neighbour, a Belgian, buys fried chicken from the cafeteria every day for his street dog. Time after time, the owner of the shop is highly surprised that someone spends so much money on a street dog, incidentally, so am I.
  12. Thais are unique in the world, but it is not something to be proud of, every day your mouth drops over in amazement.
  13. To be honest, I would like to mention precisely that I drink a lot of water and then also with the addition of 2 slices of lemon, it is even so that I also take the water to bed with me and when I have gone to pee, always take a sip before going back to sleep.
  14. It is striking what you say there, because of austerity I started drinking Hong tong/cola every other day, the other day I drink 2 glasses of wine. The remarkable thing is that last night, as happens more often, I had trouble falling asleep, it took 1.5 hours before I slept also I perspired more than usual. That can't be from the coffee, I only drink that in the morning, so it could well be because of the cola. I always drink those two glasses before dinner, but because of your comment and last night's experience, I am considering quitting that mix, and stick to wine again. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
  15. Yes that too takes place, if I consume more than 2 glasses of alcohol I start sweating heavily at night. Edit: Just now I stopped after my second mix of Hon-Tong/cola
  16. It is always nice to see a photo of a new road but is it always too much trouble to show a situation sketch of the surroundings? That's more helpful than a picture of the road.
  17. I never look before I sit down, but then we have a closed system
  18. It is nice to read your experiences. Like many elderly people, I too have the same prostate problems and that means I have to get out on average 3 times a night to pee. But what concerns me and I therefore wonder: do you drink alcohol? I drink 2 glasses a day, but I think it affects the number of times you have to get out of bed at night.
  19. That's all Thai-style, you can't expect much in Thailand when it comes to aftercare, unfortunately.
  20. The officials never see the movie 'Braeking Bad'?
  21. Not to mention because of poor driving instruction, not being sufficiently aware of rear-wheel-drive cars.
  22. Would she have learned her lesson?
  23. They only post those instructions for us so we get the impression they are doing a good job and have everything under control. Perhaps the signs are placed by order of the government.
