Crossy

Not much to report this morning, I've measured our current level at 1.6m below "Worry" so with the predicted surge coming from "up north" we should be OK. Next high at Pak Kret will be at about 10AM, current level looks OK. That camera needs a sun-shade.

Way back in 2020 I did a thread on Thailand Special Line not many responses but the Evereast links still work.

Yeah, skip-reading the OP I assumed (bad move) that he was back inside sorry, in hospital again. I promise to be more careful in future (I won't be, but it makes me feel better)

Not directly, but just ask the seller for DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) and all will work.

Is the security there to: - Keep him in. Keep others from harming him. Keep him from interfering in politics. Something else.

If it's coming from China there's an FTA and the possibility of DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) shipping. Ask your seller what he can do.

At the moment the water does actually move up and down with the tide so no real issues, and there's loads of fish in there that eat mozzie larvae. If the flooding gets bad then it does become a bit of a worry, but we don't swim in it. Back in 2011 the government were distributing the plans for a dunny on floats (4 oil drums), now that would be an issue!!. EDIT Found a photo

I'm going to lock this old thread to avoid confusion.

The all new 2024 thread is here: -

I just charged the beast from flat with my power supply @7.2V, it swallowed 135Wh before the BMS cut off. That's suggesting that a 30W 6V panel is going to be the right beastie.

I was given this EVE floodlight as non-functional. Although it came with two panels neither was the correct one (not even the same connector). It has no rating markings whatever! So, I charged the beast with a power supply. About 7.4V and 2.5A seems to be the sweet spot, charged until the BMS cut off. Light ran for nearly 24 hours (getting pretty dim by the end). So, since it's "a good un" it needs a panel. I suspect a 12V 30W one would do the trick, but ideally one matching the original. Anyone got a light like this and can post the panel details please? Even if the panel is unmarked, we can guesstimate the power rating from its dimensions.

It was "sooner" 😞

My standard "Green House" and "Pink House" reference photos, for comparison with previous threads. The neighbours have already deployed their "boat", ok, large polystyrene block. Most effective even when loaded with a fat-farang.

I don't want to worry anyone but ...

By popular demand 🙂

Back by popular demand! Last night's high tide at Pak Kret, still in the green at present. Our "worry" level isn't until the top of that concrete beam. Live stream is here http://water.eon-solution.com/waterlevel01/public/live.php Tide table for Bangkok https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Bangkok-Thailand/tides/latest the tide at Pak Kret is about 4 hours after the Bangkok table time, another hour after that for it to get to us.

My sense of humour has certainly regressed to that level

One really hopes not. Fear not, the "Bangkok River Level 2024" thread will be started as soon as there's something useful to report. I fear that will be sooner rather than later 😞

Lost a good mate in that one 😞 His wife got out but was seriously injured.

New ticketing machines to enter service on all Bangkok transit lines. It's actually a laundromat in Copenhagen, even so ...
