There are a number of apps that purport to be able to block spam etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=embware.phoneblocker Is one of many, I've not tried it but ...

You can set up your phone to reject potential spam calls, I still get a few but most are flagged. Google is your friend on how to do this.

Yup, reject and block!

A truly Thai "watch" dog

We were actually the victims of a similar scam, long ago (2004). Rented a condo from the Management Company, no problem, paid deposit and rent, got receipts. After about 3 years a lady turned up at the door and was rather surprised to see us. She had a loong chat with Madam and drank coffee. Turned out she was the actual owner and the Mgmt Co. weren't sending her the rent and hadn't told her there was anyone renting. We switched to paying her direct and stayed another 5 years. Condo management company were, er, removed.

This is the key, you have to actually be a tourist. Tourist Visa or Visa Exempt only, yes they do check. https://www.tourismthailand.org/Articles/plan-your-trip-vat-tax-refund

Pop the lid off the shower and post a naked photo

Unsafe definitely. It may just need the lid taking off and freeing up. Many use a standard RCBO for a simple fix.

Seems to be a bit of an epidemic.

It's an epidemic I reckon, Sukhumvit 64. Do I detect something under-sized here?

Check the actual consumption of your pumps. Probably the simplest and cheapest way to mitigate their consumption is to add a small grid-tie inverter and a couple of panels to your mains supply. Once you know your pump consumption, we can give an idea of what you need. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's a slave to The Great God Koi (they are Madam's fish but ...)

I feel sorry for the kid being guided by two girls. He will be led astray no doubt. Where do I collect my booze??

If you go with the cart-port (tractor house) for the panel location then the house roof is freed up for a solar hot-water system Our neighbours in our old place had a heat-pipe system, on a good day it would boil the water in the tank!!

Well, that's alright then Genex Power, owner of the 50 MW / 100 MWh Bouldercombe battery which caught fire in Queensland on September 26, says its preliminary root cause analysis found the fault occurred at the grid side of the Tesla Megapack battery unit. ",,, the fault initially occurred on the AC side, saying the fault then propagated to the battery modules within the Megapack." https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2023/11/07/queensland-bouldercombe-battery-fire-ignited-on-grid-side-not-within-megapack-analysis-finds/

It's capitals The Capitol is the place of government in the US "Crossy" warned for Grammar Police post

All my engineer friends are extremely civil and not at all stupid. If you are however, talking about Civil Engineers, we don't speak with them

Same hole??

I hope there was some steel in there too.

If you can get that as a spare part that would be ideal.

Post decent photos.

It's worth popping the lid off, it may well have the dual-voltage transformer anyway.

OP has his answer. Closed due to bickering

I drive over a number of these "removable" covers each morning (near Lat Phrao). One of them has collapsed several times over the last months. Just gets patched up

Or a lot thinner! Hopefully he didn't have a passenger!
