  1. Not really. Thailand is 3-phase 4-wire (3 phases plus neutral) so a single-phase supply is simply taken from one phase and the neutral. The 380V is phase to phase, the 220V is phase to neutral.
  2. Time for a beer!!!
  3. I'd start with a beer!!!
  4. One note to add to the SS continuance. If you want to pay by direct-debit the account must be in your Thai name (at least according to our local SS office). This was rather less easy than expected, both BKK Bank and SCB said "cannot" (translate as "too hard, go away"), but I finally got an account sorted at Krungthai who actually seemed to know what was needed.
  5. I did have separate TIN, SS number and Pink ID as they were all issued at different times and the systems are not interconnected. When I applied to continue my SS myself when my employment ended the SS department adjusted my SS to match my pink card. I've made no attempt to match TIN and pink. It can stay that way until someone asks.
  6. Think as a mathematician not an engineer. Square root of -1 is i not j i over 8
  7. Sodium, sodium, sodium, sodium, sodium, sodium, sodium, sodium. Batman!!
  8. An after dinner joke:-
  9. I work with many! 😞
  10. There are 10 types of people. Those that understand binary, & those that don't. Make that 11 types. Those that understand binary, those that don't, and those who didn't grasp this joke even if they understand binary.
  11. Why do software engineers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because oct 31 = dec 25. I forgot my coat last time, fetching it
  12. You should use the "half-split method". Start your disconnection in the centre. Then you know which half of the run has the fault. Then go to the middle of that section and test. Repeat until you find the fault.
  13. Remind me never to ask AI to interpret a joke
  14. Clue. Alternative spelling of "pendula" 🙂
  15. A post which does not meet AseanNow community standards has been removed.
  16. University lecturer - "Have you completed your experiments with pendula?" Student - "Yes, we are now sat on our ba, doing our sa". Fetching my coat ...
  17. It's been a rule since forever, no clickable email addresses in posts. Just replace the @ with [at] and it won't get flagged.
  18. It contained an email address, I've edited and approved it.
  19. Hmmm, what is the message you are seeing??
  20. Start here https://visa.vfsglobal.com/tha/en/gbr/hmpo
  21. Time to find out what these MCBs control and investigate, I'll bet the damp has got in or the local wildlife has had a nibble. If not already done, pop off all your outlets and light switches to get any damp or creatures out. Madam's hair-dryer is a useful tool! Since you can get two MCBs active, check what they control (and record) so you at least have an idea what not to look at.
