Free rides on Bangkok’s Yellow Line monorail during June trial
Crossy replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Meanwhile: - The earlier post about the limits of the trial is correct. Only Hua Mak to Samrong (YL11 - YL23) and 09.00 to 20.00. No idea when the rest of the line will be available for trial passenger operations ???? -

If you have MCBs in the DB then keep the N-E links in the CUs.

"Deutch marks or dollarsAmerican Express will do nicely, thank youLet me loosen up your collarTell me, do you want to see me do the shimmy again?" Private Dancer - Tina Turner, sadly missed ???? Ken Bruce did ask where she swiped the AmEx -
If you have N-E links in your CUs then the RCDs in the dizzy board won't stay on. So, link N-E in the dizzy board, needs a longer bit of green wire.

If we were in the US the inspector would be running around screaming! In reality there's no issue keeping them, provided there are no RCDs/RCBOs "upstream" of the link. Your plan looks fine to me ????

It's supposed to mean "smart"; it just looks wrong. -

There was a paper notice (in Thai of course) on the machine (sadly I didn't take a photo) which said that it was closing for "commercial reasons". The machine was an on-street one in a booth, not associated with a shop. I wonder if the village had to pay for it? -
Yeah, I just went down to test it. Inserting the SCB card made it go into ATM mode with no option to deposit ???? Pressing the Deposit button without inserting a card takes you (after a warning about depositing to unknown accounts) to a "Select Bank" screen then "Enter Account Number". Nice and error prone for us oldies, although I do recall from past use that it does confirm the name of the account you're sending to. Unless it's hammering down, I think I'll continue to walk round to the SCB machine ????

I'm not aware of any time limits but I wouldn't wait too long, if you are only getting a single-entry non-o I think you would be fine to wait until you go for your extension. IMPORTANT - If you do get your new PP in time, you will need both passports when you exit! Trying to leave on a PP with no entry stamp could prove painful

Well, yesterday was the last day that our village had an ATM ???? SCB determined that it was not economical to maintain the service. It can't have been due to lack of use; it was always empty on a Sunday afternoon. The nearest ATM is now 2km away, even the nearest 7-Eleven doesn't have one, much to my surprise. Of course, the village "commerce" operates on a cash basis although more and more places are showing QR payment codes. My wife is very much old-school and doesn't want to use QR, the maid is terrified of any technology although she does have a mobile phone (she won't use our front-loading washer), looks like we're back to my giving Madam her housekeeping in cash. Anyone else seeing this trend?

Immigration don't transfer visas; they just transfer your current permission to stay (and use up 2 pages doing it!). So, if your visa is multi-entry you need to carry both passports when you travel ???? Either way you need to visit immigration when you get your new PP before you can travel on it. Since time is short, I would be tempted to travel on your existing PP unless you can guarantee being able to get to immigration between your new PP arriving and you needing to travel.

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Our numbers for June, overall generation of 1,200kWh most acceptable, saving about 6,600 Baht according to the PEA calculator ???? Usage from PEA of 345kWh is because we have family over from the UK who like their bedrooms at UK temperatures. The poor solar stands no chance ???? They go home on Friday 2nd June ???? -
The way we've done it is to set our router WAN to a specific IP address in the same subnet as the ToT (in our case) router's LAN ports. Our router WAN is 192.168.11.2 the ToT LAN router is 192.168.11.254 Plug our router WAN into one of the LAN ports of Mr ToT. At this point you should be able to access the internet from the LAN side of your router (on the default 192.168.1.xxx subnet). Then on the ToT (3BB) router put your router's WAN address in the DMZ. Although it has a double-NAT it does allow access from outside like bridge-mode would. It's not ideal but as needs must.
