  1. Topic title edited for clarity.
  2. Looks like the policy is working: - Monday Today Of course, it could just be natural variations and weather
  3. If she has an extension of stay rather than an actual visa (obtained outside Thailand) then just wander over to immigration, fill in a form and wait, should be a free service. It's (usually) one of the more painless immigration processes.

    Don't forget "mulling" (you do that to wine I think) and "crackdown", crack-up more likely
  5. You mean really, really slowly? 75BTU is just under 22Watts, about 1/3 of a conventional 60W lamp, even madam's crock-pot slow-cooker is 180W Now 75,000BTU (22kW) would be more like it Them, there zeros are important.
  6. Your old PP should have been cancelled (corner cut off the data page) when you collected the new one, it's certainly no longer valid for travel (not that the Thai system will know about it). You should visit immigration and get everything transferred over, it ought to be a free service, best to have all your ducks in a row when immigration is concerned.
  7. Do they really think the BiB will be attempting to find the owners? They will be hoping the owners don't come to claim of course. Cynical? Moi? Never!
  8. You seem to have some outlets that are on breakers on the left-hand group (so not protected by the RCD). Plug your oven into one of them and run it for a while. You may solve the issue.
  9. It looks like the oven may be leaky, if it's not been used for a while this can be a problem. He seems to have some non-RCD outlets so he could just plug the beast in there and run it for a while to dry out any moisture in the elements.
  10. It was the wrong thread anyway. This chap doesn't have an adjustable RCD.
  11. You need a new sparks!
  12. Tables may need new cloths, or maybe it will brush out
  13. Captain: Did you set the parking brake? 1st Officer: Yes. Captain: And checked that the ground crew placed the wheel chocks? 1st Officer: Yes. Captain: It's very windy, we wouldn't want anything to go awry. 028c1f22-bc33-4a17-83ea-71d14814196f.mp4

  15. Changing my AI prompt to be based on Chiang Mai elicited this (yes, there was a "cold" snap in January): - ======== Chiang Mai's weather in January 2014 compared to the average offers an interesting case study. Let's delve into the details: Average Temperatures: January 2014: The average high in Chiang Mai during January 2014 was 28.9°C (84°F), with an average low of 14.6°C (58°F). Opens in a new windowwww.davestravelpages.com Chiang Mai in January Historical Average: Compared to the long-term average for January in Chiang Mai, which is 28.2°C (82.9°F) for the high and 14.3°C (57.7°F) for the low, January 2014 was slightly warmer than usual. Variations within the Month: Early January: The first few days of January 2014 saw a brief cold snap, with temperatures dropping below the average low for the month. However, this was a short-lived event. Rest of the Month: The remainder of January was characterized by typical dry season weather for Chiang Mai, with warm days and cool nights. Rainfall: January 2014: The total rainfall in Chiang Mai during January 2014 was 7.1 mm, which is significantly lower than the average of 36.5 mm for the month. Opens in a new windowen.m.wikipedia.org Chiang Mai during dry season Dry Season: This aligns with the usual dry season pattern in Chiang Mai, where January and February generally receive minimal rainfall. Overall: While January 2014 in Chiang Mai was slightly warmer than the historical average in terms of temperature, it was also considerably drier than usual. This combination of warm and dry conditions is typical for the dry season in the region.
  16. This is most probably true; I have joints like that too But I asked The Bard about your "super cold" 2013 winter, but he/she/it said it wasn't particularly cold then.
  17. Your RCD appears to be in the "off" position which would kill all the circuits to its right. Turn it back on and report. If it won't stay on, try turning off all the breakers in the right-hand group. Assuming the RCD then stays on, turn the right-hand breakers on one by one until you find the circuit that trips the RCD. Then look for the appliance that's causing the trip.
  18. It's possibly something to do with this: - https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/133984-thai-smile-to-merge-with-thai-airways-by-early-1q24
  19. OK I'll try and keep this simple. An RCD is sometimes called a differential circuit breaker. In a single-phase application it checks the difference between the L and N currents (effectively it sums the currents) and if the difference is greater than the trip current (say 30mA) the breaker operates cutting off the supply. A 3-phase unit has to sum the currents in all three phases and the neutral and trip if there's an overall mismatch. BUT it has to do a vector-summation because of the phase angle between the phases. It actually achieves this by the simple expedient of passing all 4 wires through the same sense coil and by magic achieves the desired result (it just does OK, I'm not going to try and give course in 3-phase theory - it's been waaaay too long since I did any). If you try to use 3 single-phase units each of them only sees its own phase current and nothing in its neutral. Major differential, trip.
  20. Madam does great Thai (no MSG) of course. She also does passable Italian (ok pasta with a ragu, carbonara or mushroom sauce) and Shepherd's Swineherd's Pie (made with pork). Simple grilled (charcoal grill) chook or pork chops with spuds (boiled or jacket) and veggies are quick and easy. Roasts are my domain!
