  1. It's been a while since I did it, but you should be able to change your reason for extension to Thai Wife without leaving the country, assuming of course, that you have all the financials and paperwork in order. Do it the same day as work cancel your existing extension.
  2. Indeed, how does the level in a reservoir rise "suddenly"? They could have predicted the rain and started releasing in preparation. If ever there was a job for AI then this is it, but the Thais wouldn't believe it of course.
  3. Here we go, I'll get Madam to order sandbags!
  4. And of course, TMDs Nongchok weather radar which covers Bangkok is offline ???? Nongkhame is still working but lacks detail.
  5. It's referring to the capacity of this (actually 7 of them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraring_Power_Station
  6. Linked one above. I don't bother building power supplies these days, far simpler and cheaper to just buy one.
  7. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dc-24v1a-adapter-ac-100v-240v-to-dc-24v-converter-power-supply-adapter-55x25mm-i281783376-s458428237.html Just buy one of these, it's far, far safer for you. And a timer. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/digital-timer-7-days-dual-outlet-i4442589628-s17823169857.html
  8. If you want it to go into orbit!! I strongly recommend you don't DIY this. Find a suitable 24V wall-wart and 24V timer or a mains plug-in timer. Stay away from mains. Your valve is 24V 2W so about 100mA.
  9. Australian Energy Market Operator chief Daniel Westerman says emergency rooftop solar switch-off mechanisms must be set up across the national electricity market, to better control “more than seven Eraring power stations” worth of consumer installed PV. https://reneweconomy.com.au/solar-switch-off-a-must-for-all-states-says-aemo-to-control-seven-erarings-of-rooftop-pv/
  10. It's not quite zero, there is a monthly connection fee, about 40 Baht IIRC (don't have a bill in front of me).
  11. Seriously, larger rectifiers (both V and A) tend to have larger volt drops. Let's do this right. What is the current drawn by your valve (should be on the valve)? What is the current capability of your chosen transformer?
  12. Weeeell ...
  13. You will probably need a smoothing capacitor on the output so the valve doesn't buzz, say 1000uF 50V. Also, that bridge is waaaaaay over-sized, look at something rated around 50V 1A ????
  14. Don't panic (yet), it's only money brought into Thailand that's taxable and you may be protected by the Thai-US double taxation agreement.
  15. Wife checked her husband's phone and found these names: Super Woman My Love Woman of my dreams Princess Sweetheart Honey bunny She got angry and called the first number and her hubby's mom answered. Then she called the second number and her hubby's elder sister answered. When she dialed the third number her own phone rang. She called the next one, it was their daughter's phone. She called the next one and it was her own mother and then she called the last one it was hubby's junior sister's number. She cried until her eyes got swollen because she had doubted her 'innocent' husband, so she gave him her whole month's salary to make up for it. Husband took the money and bought this for his girlfriend whose name was saved as #Mechanic ????‍????????‍????????‍????????‍????????‍????????‍????
