  1. I wasn't aware there was a "shortage" until just now. Cue UK style panic-buying leading to a shortage.
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaem_Ling And other references including Asean Now ...
  3. Sadly no, it was a while back. One was definitely Haco which I have down as a half decent brand, it went bang IIRC. The others were probably off-brand like Nano. Note that, anticipating potential issues, I put them all on switched supplies. Have a look how much they cost in the UK and make your own choices ???? https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/tcl/search?query=usb&Submit=Search
  4. @Andrew Dwyer that doesn't sound great, are these areas denoted as "monkey cheeks"? One assumes (may be a bad idea) that as the river flow decreases from the north these areas will get pumped out without causing massive issues down stream.
  5. That was my thought too, but they stressed "without notice"! We shall see.
  6. I asked Pathum this afternoon (but you need to check your own office). They want colour photos. They prefer mono copies.
  7. OK, finally sorted. This aternoon they decided they didn't want to see the original KR22, but I did have to do another TM28 despite doing one in April. All pretty relaxed really although I hadn't really expected the invasive questions at the interview. Next hurdle, the home visit since they said "without notice" and, of course, I have a job! We also have to have two witnesses that know us. That's no problem, Madam is very well known in the village environment. @ubonjoe What happens if you are not home when they visit?
  8. Warning - Personal opinion only! I would opt for regular 2-pin outlets and branded plug-in chargers. I thought these things were a nifty idea when we built the house and installed several of various brands in the bedrooms and lounge. NONE of them are now functioning! Failure modes have gone from them simply not working, to going bang, to emitting significant amounts of smoke and fizzing noises (and NOT opening the 20A breaker). If you DO decide to use them I would certainly arrange for the mains inlets to be switched so you can turn them off when not in use. It would probably be wise not to use your wired cans whilst the phone is charging (even with your branded charger).
  9. When it's free! I'm not convinced it will rise much when passengers have to pay. More parking at Rangsit might encourage me to use it but it would mean having to change trains at Bang Sue to get to work rather than driving a bit further and using the BTS and just one train (office is at MoChit/Chatuchak Park).
  10. Here we are just past the local high this morning, 47cm below the "Worry" level. This bodes well for the big tides due over the weekend with the 4m peak high on Monday (high today is 3.2m at the coast).
  11. Bubbles your children clean whilst they play in the bath! The power of advertising strikes again ????
  12. So we have just been for our first vist to the Pathum Thani office. Very quiet, much nicer than the zoo that is Chaeng Watthana ???? Our office lady who assists with all things immigration had already got a Check-List from them, nothing unusual on it. BUT (Surprise, surprise) They also want the original KR22 (and copy) as well as the "we are still married" update we got last week, not sure if that's actually a general thing. AND Our UK marriage certificate translated and certified. Luckily we had that done when we got the KR22 which is supposed to replace them. ALSO The Tabien-Baan copy had to be all on one sheet. Going back after lunch to find out what they "forgot" to ask for this morning.
  13. Meanwhile at the office of Siemens in Staines the telephone is answered ... There was also a branch of Otis Lifts in Reading (pronounced "redding" for non-UKites).
  14. Yeah, it was one of the alternative comedy shows on BBC 2 (Not the Nine O'clock News or the like) that did the spoof with Seaman Staines, Master Bates and Roger the cabin boy.
  15. Check your supply polarity at the heater and verify the integrity of your earth back to the rod. If all tests good then either live with it (it's not going to be a hazard without the light) or take it back for a replacement.
  16. I test drove the 1.9 Mu-X before actually buying the 3.0. The smaller engine did indeed feel a bit gutless on the test drive but I liked the rest of the car. The 3.0 also sips along at between 11 and 12km/l even with my "not particulatly light" right foot.
  17. It could well be since he was also at the latest meeting of the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration.
  18. Hang on a sec, I thought he was in Scotland not signing the deforestation treaty. Perhaps that really is a cardboard cutout.
  19. Yes, with a new re-entry permit. You are screwed, start again.
  20. I'd be looking at something like this right after your main incomer. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/surge-ac-ly1-b80-80ka-3-l1-l2-l3-n-pe-ac-surge-3p-80ka-i2809012215-s10238081180.html?
  21. A Thai collegue tells me that it's called "dark green", the top one is "very dark green" Officially it's "yellow".
