  1. You'll be fine. They "should" only be sending notifications to those where the names don't match.
  2. My understanding is that the name the phone number is registered with must match the bank account. My phone was registered with Madam, it was a 5 minute job at the AiS shop to move it into my name 🙂
  3. Show both passports on entry, immigration officer will stamp in your new passport. Visit immigration with both passports and get your stamps transferred. It's actually pretty painless.
  4. Rule 2: Check your stamp before leaving the desk area, we all make mistakes, even immigration officers.
  5. And hand both to the immigration officer 🙂
  6. Well, a load of 100kg (one DIN standard farang) can hang on the far end without massive deflection, it does of course move, steel is an elastic material (I've not measured the actual deflection mind). But I'm always open to suggested improvements. What do you suggest?? EDIT You may wish to look at some of the commercial offerings, many of which I would consider woefully inadequate from looking at photos, but they seem to do the job just fine.
  7. Astonishingly I'd never seen this!
  8. Have a look at https://www.facebook.com/VIPFootball123/ (Yes, that link is correct or go direct to bapthailand.com) or one of several manufacturers https://thai.conduitsfittings.com/buy-steel_unistrut_channel.html How much do you need? if you have a specialist electrical place nearby, they may have or be able to order sensible amounts.
  9. But will it be made by a heavily muscled, 6' 4" man in Brussels
  10. You are missing nothing, we got red in a sealed blanc bottle 🙂 Only noticed when we went to open the "red" hence it being cold.
  11. Where beer does flow and men chunder!
  12. And very nice it is too. Spot the difference, 3 bottles were like the one on the right, 1 as on the left
  13. https://solcast.com/ Solar resource assessment and forecasting data for irradiance and PV power. Created using a global fleet of weather satellites. Independently validated. Free to try. Access our data in just a few minutes with the Solcast API Toolkit. Integrate with Home Assistant or other software with their API. Free to use for home PV systems 🙂 Could be handy for controlling EV charging etc.
  14. I would choose one supply as the "master" and, as @lom suggests, use an ATS to ensure that you can never connect the grid to the output of your inverter, therein lies the exit of the Magic Smoke and tears 😞 Do a simple sketch of what you want to do and post here. it's also a good idea to log your day/night usage split (read the meters at 9AM and 5PM) this will help determine how much storage you will need.
  15. One wonders how this new system will affect the current flat 20Baht fare (for all) that's currently implemented on the Purple and Red Lines.
  16. Be very careful! The fine for using an Elder Card when not entitled is up to 30 times the maximum normal fare! Security do watch for invalid users and the automatic gates have a "concession lamp" which lights different colours if a concession card is in use.
  17. I noticed the lady (almost) in the blue top, on the right of the first picture. I could die happy in there 😛
  18. Have a look at this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system Thailand is generally TNC-S with MEN (Multiple Earthed Neutral), the neutral is held at or near earth potential by having a ground rod at every 3rd pole or so along with every installation having a local rod and N-E bond. There can only be one N-E bond in an installation. A N-E bond placed on the downstream side of an RCD/RCBO will generally result in the RCD not staying closed, or if it does stay on then applying any load will cause it to trip.
  19. Sounds good. You can use this cable calculator https://www.doncastercables.com/technical-help/ As noted in the other thread, do NOT provide a N-E link at the shed, you are making a "TT island".
  20. Let's say 20A at 50m then you are looking at using 4mm2 cable, any longer and you need to go to 6mm2. RCD/RCBO at the supply end. To save a few $$$ make it a "TT island" by using 2-core cable and placing a ground rod at the shed. Note- Do NOT provide a N-E bond at the shed end.
  21. RCD/RCBO should be at the supply end. If you are feeding several circuits (shed/workshop) as small consumer unit/distribution box in the shed would be wise.
