Since you don't seem to be interested in actually doing any of the checks being suggested could you at least post the manufacturer and model of your WiFi router?

Have you actually tested with a wired connection? Another user nearby that's recently come up on WiFi could be conflicting. Try one of the WiFi survey tools on your phone to check for channel conflicts.

Politics and not Thailand related so closed.

Let's call it "upstairs" to avoid confusion.

First off try a speed-test to True's own server https://speedtest.trueinternet.co.th/ that should establish if it's a local (connection to you) issue or international bandwidth limiting. Our 1G/500M NT/ToT connection tests as: - On NT/ToT's own speed-test it's not a million miles different. You could then try to https://testmy.net/ which is an international test, choose a server nearest to your main data source.

Yup ^^^, it's déja-vu all over again. They will talk the talk, then the burning-season will end, problem solved. QED

This was 30 odd years ago but possibly still relevant. My ex-wife needed thyroid replacement medication after cancer treatment (not thyroid cancer, I'm not even sure the two were actually related). But even with a regularly taken dose she experienced unexpected and massive blood-pressure drops. These were sufficient to cause her to randomly collapse in a heap. A few minutes later she was right as rain and ready to continue shopping (if I'd managed to persuade the store/mall people she really didn't need an ambulance). Numerous visits to the doc / clinic and adjustments to dose / medication changes really had little effect. Finally resulting in a "sorry, you'll have to live with it". So, here she is 30 years later having used up another husband (my replacement dropped dead of something [probably abject terror] after 18 months of marriage) and several boyfriends, she's "found God" and gone all born-again. Still drops in a heap every couple of months. Sorry to not really be any more help.

Suitable MCBs are readily available here if he should "forget"

Ah, OK missed that. So probably about 50% brightness on a bit of rusty re-bar. Clean up properly, see if you can find some other points not too close to the one you have. It's not ideal but a hose (Jubilee) clip will give you a good clamped connection. Link them together with 4mm2 cable and test again. Once you are happy paint all your connections with acrylic paint to prevent corrosion. Whatever happens you are far better than having no earth at all. Get those RCBOs installed!

@GammaGlobulin would you like this moving to Health for serious responses?? Scabies is pretty nasty, but I'm pretty sure it's treatable at least symptomatically. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/scabies/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20377383 Common dust-mites are everywhere, are you actually allergic to the beasts or do you really have bed-bugs or similar?

Directly on rusty metal, with RCD/RCBO protection I reckon that will be ok. If here are other points you can connect to, then go with them as well. How bright is it directly L-N?

Proof of Bigfoot.

You wouldn't have a main RCD and also individual ones too. A UK main switch would be an isolator, that would not suit here (there is no DNO fuse here) you need a double-pole MCB. The requirement here is a minimum of a front-end RCBO, but individual ones are of course better.

UFO's too of course.

Great, that hardest part may well be the incandescent lamp. Look for the small ones for ovens or fridges.

You really need a simple multimeter (even Lotus's have them) and a neon screwdriver.

It's called "Nessie" and of course it's real! Documentary here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055615/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Shame, there may well have been nothing wrong with it. Was it connected to an earthed outlet using the correct plug?

That looks pretty promising. Clean it up to bare metal and connect a wire to it (for now just wrap around a few times). I assume you don't have an earth test meter so: - Get a conventional (incandescent) lamp of about 15W. Connect one side of the lamp to your wire. DAB the other side of the lamp onto a live terminal. If the lamp lights "brightly" then you have a "reasonable" earth If no light, no earth.

For the same reason a dog licks his balls! Because they can!

I have effectively the same situation. Due to a 40% reduction in hours Jan-March (at which point my contract ends) I've actually had too much tax already deducted. The net result is that for a 3-day week my take home has gone UP. Not that I'm complaining of course. I've already netted a remote-working contact on another project, with a bigger salary paid offshore. I will of course be declaring any $$$ brought into the country and paying the required tax.

I can't handle the Thai-style maps that places use to show their location, all right-angle turns and no sort of scaling that I can understand. At least many places are now including Google maps on their websites.

At least our lot don't want me to draw a new map each year. I submit the same scanned work of art every time. It didn't stop the visiting chaps calling Madam for directions the first year.

Running in news

Yeah, so it seems. Rather silly. So, my only choice now is to open an account with Krungthai Bank to get my few k Baht refund Such is life in sunny Thailand.
