I'm with transam, try swapping tyres around and see if the noise moves, try a diagonal swap, you may even cure it.

Can you see more detail if you use Internet banking?
BKK Bank certainly has more detail when using internet banking, had to use it to see the PayPal reference when setting up with my local account.

I have purchased a GSM-980 attenuator and set it up ready for use.
I don't want to worry you, but an attenuator makes signals smaller.

I'm with electau. It would be false economy not to replace the starter when replacing the tube, although it's always an idea to have spare starters to swap out first, they do fail.
Whilst you're at it, why not replace the ballast with an electronic one, no starter to fail, the tubes last longer and the power consumption is lower?

Wifey gets my casuals (T's, cargo shorts and chinos) at the Export Shop in Future Park (Google for other locations), work shirts and pants tailored by a little shop in the midst of Rangsit market

Yup, simple (and not particularly accurate) digital hygrometers are found in clock shops, usually as part of a clock with temperature, date etc.
If you want a dedicated (and more accurate) unit you may need to hunt harder, eBay is your friend.

At least you appear to have earthing, what's been done is most definitely not best practice but is unlikely to be unsafe, leave it alone unless you really want to start pulling more green wire around.
Install your RCBOs first, they will make a significant improvement to the safety of the installation, fettle the earthing as the second job.

Something people sometimes miss, is that the tank should contain AIR (not water)!

Everything Electau said ^^^
Pop one of the outlets off the wall (power off please) and check there are three wires, one should be green, that should confirm that the ground is connected at one end.
Remove the lid from your consumer unit (distribution panel) and check that the green wires are connected to the ground bar within and that the ground bar has a fat wire leading to the building earth. Take care, some parts inside are still live even with the main switch off.
If you want to use an adaptor make sure that you get one with three pins which connects the earth.
Despite all the above, deliberately connecting oneself to an electrical system installed by Somchai Electrics is not something I would really want to do.
I'm not convinced that these earthing mats have any health benefits, but that's up to you (the placebo effect can be very powerful), why not get a piece of aluminium foil and connect it to the earth pin (use a 1M Ohm resistor for safety), much cheaper than the earthing mat?
If you have questions or are not sure what you are seeing, take some photos and post here.

5mm2 is an unusual size, are you sure that's what's installed? The common sizes are 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 35 mm2
A 4.2kW heater will pull around 20A so it would be OK (just) on 2.5mm2 which is what's often installed.

Yes, leave the existing RCD in place, it can do no harm and (as others have noted) protects you from shock from dodgy joins in the cable.
Do verify that your existing breaker and cable are man enough for your new heaters if they are are of higher power than the existing ones.

Get a lease / usufruct sorted BEFORE you get married. Whose name is on the building permit?

Not to get away from Morakot's problems, but how does my CU look? Crossy, Electau do you see any problems or safety hazards?
Apart from the incorrect colour code, far too neat for its own good. But don't worry, a couple of additions by local sparkies will bring it up to standard.
You have two earth rods?
No MEN connection, assume your area is still TT.
Neutral from your SPD has no number (OK getting desperate), by the way, where is the live for the SPD connected to? If you are TT connected you should be providing SPD L-E and N-E (some would want L-N too) for complete protection.

Whatever you buy don't take it past about 70% of rated load and you'll be fine.
Don't forget to ensure that any change-over arrangements you make must make it IMPOSSIBLE that's IMPOSSIBLE for the generator and mains power to be connected at the same time.

What happens when you get blonde genies?
A white guy is walking along a beach when he comes across a lamp partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it a rub.
Two blonde genies appear, and they tell him he has been granted three wishes.
The guy makes his three wishes and the blonde genies disappear.
The next thing the guy knows, he's in a bedroom, in a golf-course mansion, surrounded by 50 beautiful women.
After he makes love to all of them, he begins to explore this fabulous house.
Suddenly he feels something soft under his feet, he looks down and the floor is covered in $100 bills.
Then, there's a knock at the door.
He answers it and standing there are two persons dressed in Ku Klux Klan outfits. They drag him outside to the nearest tree, throw a rope over a limb and hang him by the neck until he's dead.
As the Klansmen are walking away, they remove their hoods. It's the two blonde genies.
One blonde genie says to the other one, 'I can understand the first wish having all these beautiful women in a big mansion to make love to..
I can also understand him wanting to be a millionaire..
But why he wanted to be hung like a black guy is beyond me.'

Hmmm, do you have a separate RCD box (often marked Safe-T-Cut) that tripped?
If not and you managed to trip one of those MCBs with a 25W lamp are you sure the lamp was wired correctly?
Either way, looks like there is at least a usable ground in the box

Let's keep it civil chaps, a couple of posts removed.

Superantispyware will apparently remove it and many more can be found by Googling 'remove hao123', you may have to run in Safe Mode.

Our OP wants to view individually chosen cameras (or the DVR) on multiple TVs, the system suggested will achieve that without multiple computers or network enabled TVs.
As to why he wants to do that, this is another question of course.

Officially sanctioned (by the monks) move-in date is Saturday 28th July.
STRESS!!
We're moving ourselves as we only have to go about 10km, gradually shifting stuff a couple of loads per day before it gets too hot.
I'm 100% certain that the stuff we are moving is sneeking back to the apartment whilst we are asleep, the condo does not seem to be getting any less full whilst the house still seems empty.
True installed dish and receiver, gas bottle delivered and chained up, TOT coming to do the phone 'soon' so we'll be on Edge internet for a while I suspect
More photos when we are actually in and straightened up.

Should work, the only issue I see is that if of co-channel interference if you cannot get the high quality modulators you illustrate.
I'll move to the Technology forum for more tech views.

No, they're a bl00dy nightmare

Air rifle. Hours of fun, and Pigeon breast is quite tasty roasted (if I remember correctly from my youth).
Wifey has a lethal slingshot, having been on the receiving end of an errant rock I know how effective it is.
Some ideas here http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Pigeons the garden hose could be a solution.

Power Tools From Australia
in DIY Forum
Posted
Electricity in Southern Hemisphere countries is 180o out of phase with the Northern Hemisphere, this means that Aussie power tools will run backwards in Thailand
Apart from the above the 220V / 240V won't be an issue, most tools are designed around 230V anyway so will be fine anywhere 210-250V 50Hz.
If you already have tools, bring them (you'll need a plug adaptor), but I wouldn't buy specially in Aus, the same stuff is mostly available here.
