  1. Do you have a link for this service please.
  2. Ah yes, for the dreaded crotch-rot, I do find it to be a little, er, stimulating, when it is applied to those "sensitive" areas
  3. So it really is most efficacious in every case.
  4. I'm not Thai and I have real credit cards with Citi, SCB and AmEx, no deposit required. Of course I am working but when AmEx offered me their Thai co-brand card back in 2012 they did say that a WP wasn't needed.
  5. After a couple of "suspicious activity" security actions I told my UK credit card providers that I was "working long term in Thailand and the Far East" which is true. Supported by the occasional hotel charge in some forgotten backwater. I still maintain a UK address for the banks etc. Only Barclaycard got upset and booted me as "apparently not UK resident".
  6. Here are the numbers for March boosted by a very nice 42 and 41 kWh for the 30th and 31st. We generated a very respectable 905.81 kWh from the solar, meanwhile using 324.5 kWh from PEA, so that means that 73% of our electricity was "free". Very happy with the system as now configured, I might even stop messing about with it for a while and look at some other project.
  7. Only in a very severely abridged dictionary!
  8. A Ukraine SU-27 fighter returning to base with a road sign stuck to its jet intake...That is all. Class dismissed! "If we's flying any lower, why, we'd need sleigh bells on this thing. But we got one little bulge on them Rooskies, at this height, why, they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen." Slava Ukraini! Heroiam Slava!
  9. Madam swears by Tiger Balm (or one of the similar green, menthol smelling ointments) for insect bites, joint pain, nasal congestion and pretty much any other minor ailment, I swear she'd use it on a broken leg given a chance It does work very well on bites and certainly soothes my old joints when they start creaking.
  10. I agree with @BritManToo, junk which actually achieves nothing. Not the exact same unit, but they all look very similar inside.
  11. Yeah, Thai water flows uphill hence installing the shower drain at the high point! Thai electric also not same-same farang electric, not need earth (this despite the label in Thai "this appliance must be earthed").
  12. Do the AAA issue IDPs against Thai licences? If so a link would be useful.
  13. Hmmmm, maybe something escaped.
  14. J4 M61, I used to live near there 53.5322626243673, -2.4275125368105317 nice to see the chippie over the road is still operating 50 years on (I was 12 when we moved out) ???? Thursday night treat was snake and pygmy pudding, mushy peas and chips with my Nana whilst mum was at "Keep Fit", I was allowed to watch Monty Python's
  15. Yeah, we are doing at least 50% better than that from similar used golf-cart cells. How is the cell balance?
  16. Our 10.1kWP (all poly panels) peaks out at around 8.5kW at the inverter output. That same day generated 41.7kWh. I'm definitely not unhappy, the panels are not perfectly angled (on the car port roof).
  17. Yeah ^^^, for a dryer that's likely running for long periods I'd go 6mm2. At 6.6kW are we looking at an industrial dryer?
  18. If you've not updated for a while it will expire as not supported, time to update. You can update via the Play Store, it should appear in your list of available updates (I'm assuming Android here, one also assumes iOS would be similar). If the update does go pear-shaped you can still access via your browser at https://www.scbeasy.com/
  19. Wikipedia has an explanation of all the various flavours of earthing systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system To expand on STWW's post Thailand is TNC-S with MEN or PME (for our purposes the same thing). You MUST wire your incoming supply as in this diagram if you want to pass a PEA/MEA inspection. Note the routing of the incoming neutral. Drawing is from this handy PEA document which you can show your contractor Groundwire Mk2 book-Manual.pdf Once you have a permanent supply (4.x Baht per unit) you can do pretty much what you like, so if you really love TT then go for it.
  20. Yeah, I agree, but if he gets the go from the landlady it's easy enough to do. It's not an MEA/PEA meter so no legal issues (other than with the landlady).
  21. It will look something like this:-
