They let Old Ploddy out of jail in 2020, he's 79 now, still in his prime! Now, about those water pushers ...

Do you ever get that feeling of déjá-vu??

Low tide at Pak Kret. Did someone pull out a plug or something??

The letters are being duplicated as we speak Not sure if the old guy is still around but ...

Yup, that would work. Of course a decent hybrid inverter and sensible battery isn't going to be cheap (probably 3 grand US ish). The solar panels are the lowest-cost part of the equation. It would be crazy not to include them 🙂

@passiflora no regulator is going to fix that low a level, you need to disconnect way before it gets that bad. Actually, that looks like a HV phase loss upstream from your village transformer. You may wish to re-visit the payback time for solar, things have become a lot more competitively priced in recent years. Or, alternatively get an auto-start genset and transfer switch (much cheaper than solar but it needs fuel) to bridge over your low-voltage periods.

Whilst this is true, most (if not all) modern wall-wart switchers are "universal" and good for 100V-250V which makes them almost immune to power excursions.

The simplest way to mitigate under (and over) voltage would be to install an under/over relay device, many are available on Lazada etc. These cut the power when the voltage goes outside the set range, of course you then have no power to whatever it is protecting. Alternatively, voltage regulators are available (both small and large) which regulate your voltage, at least to an extent. How low is your voltage going? Do you have logs you can show PEA? You're probably not going to get compensation but you might get them to fix (or at least improve) it. Or, do like we and others have done and install solar with a battery for backup, say farewell to any other power cuts with the bonus of reduced power bills.

High at Pak Kret, not any significant difference. That said our local level is up by 15cm to 1.45m below worry, start of the surge?

True, DDP works just fine though, no duty or VAT to pay 🙂

Not much to report this morning, I've measured our current level at 1.6m below "Worry" so with the predicted surge coming from "up north" we should be OK. Next high at Pak Kret will be at about 10AM, current level looks OK. That camera needs a sun-shade.

Way back in 2020 I did a thread on Thailand Special Line not many responses but the Evereast links still work.

Yeah, skip-reading the OP I assumed (bad move) that he was back inside sorry, in hospital again. I promise to be more careful in future (I won't be, but it makes me feel better)

Not directly, but just ask the seller for DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) and all will work.

Is the security there to: - Keep him in. Keep others from harming him. Keep him from interfering in politics. Something else.

If it's coming from China there's an FTA and the possibility of DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) shipping. Ask your seller what he can do.

At the moment the water does actually move up and down with the tide so no real issues, and there's loads of fish in there that eat mozzie larvae. If the flooding gets bad then it does become a bit of a worry, but we don't swim in it. Back in 2011 the government were distributing the plans for a dunny on floats (4 oil drums), now that would be an issue!!. EDIT Found a photo

I'm going to lock this old thread to avoid confusion.
