Bangkok uses AI weather forecasts to accurately notify citizens 3 hours in advance
But it would require some NI (Natural Intelligence) which seems somewhat lacking in the Thai authorities.

How to use Siam Commercial Bank app from UK
Basically, yes, yes and yes. The app works fine on WiFi provided you've already installed and activated it via mobile data (whilst in Thailand). But it's always best to be safe rather than be stuck without access to your bank. I have a dual-SIM phone so I'm not sure if you actually need the Thai SIM in the phone when using the app.

PEA Pole Spacing
Indeed. I would take the pragmatic approach. If you block the move then absolutely anything that goes wrong with their build will automatically be your fault. You really don't want to get on the wrong side of your new neighbours so soon. Of course, if PEA say "cannot" you are off the hook. Do you have an existing power supply to your plot? If not now might be a good time to talk to PEA to organise.

PEA Pole Spacing
Much depends upon who actually owns the poles. If it's actually a PEA pole then PEA must move it and they would obviously know their own regulations. If it's not a PEA pole then anything goes, there are likely actual regulations but of course TiT. The poles bringing power to our place which were installed by PEA although not actually PEA poles are 18m apart. The final span to the house is 20m. Due to a similar situation to where you may end up (building in the way) we needed an extra pole which of course we paid for If it's going to interfere with your current or a future supply to your place, I'd be getting PEA involved ASAP.

Harley’s family said Sunday that he had “passed away peacefully at home, with his family by his side.” Harley said late last year he was being treated for “a nasty cancer.” His best known song was Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me), which went to number one on the UK charts in 1975. https://deadline.com/2024/03/steve-harley-dies-cockney-rebel-lead-singer-was-73-obituary-1235860727/

At this rate we foreigners are going to be lynched on sight!! TWO motorcycle-riding foreign men refused to stop when hailed to do so by a Phuket traffic policeman instead zoomed ahead and upon finally being caught assaulted the officer, locking him in a chokehold, with a shot being fired from his pistol as they fought over the firearm, Amarin TV said today (Mar. 17).

Airbag recall - still ongoing!
No, that was the Mu-X, it has a good airbag! A sprained ankle is hardly "almost kill" and she was "ghost-riding" with no lights.

[Poll] The Top 10 Types of Expat in Thailand - What type of expat are you?
Wife number 1 was a typical Essex Girl (Google her), beautiful, blue eyes, blonde hair, big bazookas, no brain. I loved her to bits (in reality I still do); we had 5 kids together then she swapped me for a newer model. Number 1.5 was Korean, loved her too but she turned me down, twice!! Wife V2.0 (Thai) is my keeper, love her soooo much, just as much as she loves me my bank balance.

I tried explaining "Trigger's broom" to a couple of my local engineers. I think I failed- Airbag recall - still ongoing!
Apart from a front-suspension rebuild (it all got worryingly "loose"), a failed dual-mass flywheel, a couple of prop centre-bearings and UJs and two A/C compressors it's not been a bad ride, in over 350k km it's never actually let us down.- Airbag recall - still ongoing!
We bought our Ford Ranger new in 2005. Yesterday we received a recall notice for a "potentially dangerous" airbag, need to take the car to a local dealer to be checked. So, we've been driving around for 19 years with airbags that might not go off, and if they do, they may rip your head off! Wonderful. Just how many duff airbags are really out there?- [Poll] The Top 10 Types of Expat in Thailand - What type of expat are you?
Argh! What have I done? I do recall (could be an urban myth) someone actually registering in a UK by-election as "None Of The Above" I suspect they were actually disqualified on a technicality.- [Poll] The Top 10 Types of Expat in Thailand - What type of expat are you?
@george can we have a "None of the above - Please clarify in comments" please? Coz, that would be me- Worst Joke Ever 2026

My youngest in the UK is building his new PC, no expense spared (he's heavily in to flight-sim and other gaming). He sent me some photos. My first impression? Where does it dispense the coffee?? His reaction was unprintable!- Worst Joke Ever 2026

- Where, in CM, can I buy many more pots like this one?
Seriously, many of these types of pot are hand thrown and decorated, no two are exactly the same. I'm sure there's an artisan ceramics maker in CM who will make you as many copies of your pot as you like. This kind of chap bloke person: -- Where, in CM, can I buy many more pots like this one?
I say, I say, I say. "What's a Greek urn?" "About 40 drachmas a week!" Boom, boom! Coat being fetched!- ASUS: TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI
Nah, I don't teach, although I did, long ago, provide user and maintenance training for these people https://www.spea.com/en/ My English is a product of the 1970's UK Grammar School system which also attempted to train-out my Bolton (north-west England - have a look at Fred Dibnah on YouTube for an example) accent and left me with an indeterminate speaking style. - Airbag recall - still ongoing!
