@Thaifish although "up north" used a contractor who is nationwide, worth having a word. Check his thread for details.

Headline for tomorrow - "Updated Sinovac Mk2 effective against all existing variants, Thailand orders 10,000,000 doses".

A new BTS/Rabbit promotion starts on November 1st. Do read the Ts and Cs carefully. Full details here (In English) https://www.bts.co.th/eng/promotion/bts-challenge.html

Wood is pretty non-conductive, so you're looking at grounding any metal panel with the input jacks on, or grounding the lead screen.

I agree 100%, I'm assuming there will be an appeal based upon "common sense".

In that case you have 160 sq-wah.

No, 1 wah is 2m so a square-wah is 4sqm. That said, it's odd that it's quoted in talang-wah rather than rai as 1 rai is 400 talang-wah. So he has 1.6 rai. Could of course be a misunderstanding of Thai units.

Just be glad you don't live in the UK. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10090871/Plumber-45-fears-lose-home-judge-ruled-Ring-camera-breached-neighbours-privacy.html

Today's Tiny Task! After changing the water pump pressure tank the shower became weak and the water heater shut off on overheat which worried me somewhat. Of course it was coincidence, the shower filter screen was bunged up. I de-scaled the shower head too.

Update at local low tide. We are now 70cm below Worry Level ???? Next local high is at about 10PM, too dark then to check level but unless there's a tidal wave on it's way from the north we will be ok.

UJ (as always) has it spot on. One thing to note as a dual national. An unwritten rule is never show both passports to an immigration officer, it confuses them and can lead to a "situation".

Note, doesn't work particularly well if your amp has a plastic case ????

Sorry I've not posted for a few days, some of us have to work and we are actually back in the office. This coupled with the fact that it's dark, raining or both when I leave home and we've had a couple of late meetings meaning the same applied when I got home... 4PM Thursday ???? Anyway, here we are at local "fairly high" and 55cm below "Worry". Even the garden is dry enough to squelch to the photo point ????

People pay a lot of $$$ for TENS machines which stimulate the body via mild electric shocks, you're getting it for free! Anyway. Many of the lower-cost amps have low-cost cheap power supplies which leak a bit even though they are supposedly Class-2 or better. Damp atmosphere, bare feet and a sweaty body all help to enhance that electrifying experience. Some amps have a dedicated "ground" terminal for you to hook an earth wire to. You could try turning the plug around in the outlet. Failing that, if you want to add a ground then add it to the screen (outer) of your guitar lead. Maybe via a spare amp input or by adding a lead to the back of an input socket. If the amp has a metal panel with the inputs on it, try grounding that.

Grand daughter is in line for tomorrow 11AM. NONE of the family are objecting, the kids have to get back to school, if that needs a jab then so be it.

Good on her, every little helps! I must take a photo of our local barbecue chicken seller who has a solar powered spit turner (still charcoal cooking mind).

Several of the QR schemes are available to foreigners, TrueMoney Wallet, Rabbit Line Pay being the ones I use. You might need your pink ID or a WP to register ???? Your Thai bank's app probably includes a "scan to pay" function too. It's just a case of sorting out which is available at the outlets you use.

Details, details!

Cell towers have battery backup for several hours. A tower uses between 1 and 5kW (much of which is actually the A/C to keep the kit happy). 50kWh of batteries will easily fit in the space of a large fridge and live in the "container" with the electronics. Many towers in rural India have no mains supply at all and use solar arrays, handy when the grid is "somewhat" unreliable. This is a 48V, 1,800Ah cell tower pack, about 80kWh. Yes, I would love to have this attached to our solar!

Sadly, whilst I do think increased vetting is a sensible idea, I suspect this initiative will result in a standard Thai "sledge hammer and nut" solution. It's far easier to assume we are all criminals on the run than it is to actually filter out the bad guys.

Yes, some condos have "preferred" contractors and most have a handy-man who can deal with simple jobs.

SPDs. Absolutely!

So long as you understand that Thailand doesn't use ring finals and radials are limited to 20A (16A unfused plugs) you'll be fine with BS7671. Oz is very similar to Thailand in those respects, hence the suggestion of As3000, they probably have an equivalent to the Onsite Guide.

Noooooooo!!!!! Love them both to bits really of course. But two Thai teens consume food and electricity (A/C in two bedrooms, I think they have pet penguins) like there's no tomorrow
