Bangkok Will Not Flood, PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra Assures
Crossy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
During the mega-flood we stayed in our 10th floor condo. Unfortunately, both the building transformer and genset were in the basement!! We spent nearly 6 months operating with a 1.2kW generator on the balcony. No lifts of course, we hauled food and fuel up using a block and tackle.- 56 replies

In the past I've been using local income to obtain my marriage extension at Pathum Thani. This year I have to use money in the bank, the $$$ has been there since March, so no issues with seasoning. A couple of questions, please keep specific to Pathum Thani, they have their own little quirks: - How old can the bank letter be? Do they need a passbook update on the day of application? Does anyone have a sample bank letter? I just KNOW that our local bank will find difficulties in providing the requisite documentation. Anything else that's special to our friends at the Pathum office.

Promptpay at the bottle shop and builder's merchant (and to our building contractor). Truemoney at Lotus and Seven. Local credit card at Makro, Homepro etc. etc. Cash for the maid and gardener. -
Yeah, it wasn't going to take a rocket scientist to work out there was a CNG leak, buses, even ancient Thai ones, don't go whoosh like this one did with no leak 😞 The unauthorised modifications (which failed causing the leak) and the failure of the axle is more than somewhat worrying 😞

I note that the Pathum Thani camera has moved slightly and we can now see the 2554 marker, waaaaay higher than anything more recent! It's actually more in line with what we saw during the mega-flood whilst our home was under construction vs 2022 when we were mm from having water in the house.

Vehicle Inspector Reassigned Amid Deadly School Bus Fire Probe
Crossy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yup, similar experience earlier this year. First "MOT" for our Mu-X. Parked in the waiting area. Nice young lady took the keys and payment, then parked over the inspection pit. We sat and watched. 10 minutes or so later the young lady came out with our certificate and receipt for the payment. Nobody had been near the car!! (unless there's a secret passageway from the office to the inspection pit) Not that it would have failed of course, regularly dealer serviced and new rubber in June last year. -
Bucking the trend slightly, I wonder if the trigger was actually the black truck, he definitely went through on red (and if he were correctly positioned in his lane your plate would have been obscured). The AI evidently decided that you'd run too as you had a readable plate (a bit like that infamous camera fine against a car on the back of a recovery vehicle). Back home, where the fines are significant, I might fight it, here, nah too much bother.

Is it really worth the stress and hassle? Pay the fine and be happy that the driver in the black truck behind you also got one. I've never had a red-light photo and only one speeding (122 in a 120 limit for flips sake). It's white-line cameras that are my nemesis, I seem to find new ones on a regular basis 😞

Foul-Smelling Trail of Feces Found in Thai Parliament
Crossy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It would be extremely crass for me to make a comment about it being a leak of the bovine product which the occupants of the building dish out on a daily basis. So I won't- 103 replies

It was worth a shot. There are loads of suitable pumps around of course, sadly unless you get an identical unit you're going to need some plumbing. Could you post a photo of the existing unit, members may be able to suggest a (almost) drop-in replacement. We have a Grundfos unit, now 13 years old, it's had a new capacitor and a replacement pressure tank. silent in operation but not cheap. Misubishi pumps have a good reputation at the other end of the cost range without going too cheap and nasty.
