I am having yellow plastic tubing installed inside my lounge wall, for new power sockets etc, I am thinking of having UBC installed and I would like to know if the cable that comes from the UBC dish to the set box is the same as normal TV co-axal cable I think its 75 Ohms ...? if the UBC cable is the same then I can run normal TV co-axal cable down the tube ready for the UBC installation...

Thanks ..... Mumbo

Can any one please tell me what the wiring size is used here when building a house, ( ive looked at coothai house, etc, ) but there seem's to be different answeres, I rememberber from my day's back in the UK helping the local sparks , it was ...

lighting .... 1.00mm

Power sockets ...2.5 mm

it also seems that here they use a flat twin cable , rather than single cables...?

Many Thanks .... Mumbo,

PS. does any one know if when getting a telephone installed ( TOT ) they will run the cable underground in PVC electrical yellow pipe thats already been installed into the house ...?

Up Date, ....got the Wife to call Bangkok Immigration, and ask if they had received my TM47 and paper work showing we had moved address ( sent to them registerd mail within 24 hours ) The Lady at the Immigration was helpful and said she would check and to ring back in one Hour..!! We rang back and She confirmed that infact they had received my TM 47 and paperwork, , Here's where I made the mistake ... thinking that when I moved address I had to send a TM 47 form, copy of passport , old report slip from inside my passport, return stamped envlope ETC... The lady said all I had to do was to send them a TM 47 form only showing my new address, not all the passport copys etc. She said that the Immigration would keep my 90 Day report slip from my passport, and then send me a NEW 90 Day report slip within 7 day's of the old one running out .

so we will wait and see , I now have a photo copy of my current 90 report slip in my passport.

Thanks lopburi3,

We have been to the post office to check our new address, and we were directed to the " POST MAN " , who confirmed our address, we told him that we we are waiting for a letter from Bangkok Immigration, so he knows, I just wonder if the delay is/may be due to the 90 day reporting room moving at immigration, and also the holiday period ..?

Thanks .......... MUMBO

Well arrived at new address , and sent all required paperwork to Bangkok Immigration Office the same day we arrived ( regestered mail ) with a covering letter saying we had moved address within 24 hours,.... sent on the 30th of June, as yet no reply, does any one know how long it normally takes to get back the new 90day reporting slip from Bangkok , and we have had no visit as yet from the boy's in brown..?

Thanks ....Mumbo

Ive posted this on the real estate section but no luck, can any one help with some info......

Sorry if this subjuct has been posted before, ... Myself and Thai Wife have just been to our local Ampur to see what we need to do about getting a new house book for the House we are going to build, I asked if my Name could be included on the New house book, ...? along with my wifes, ( like Mr & Mrs XXXX) The Guy was very helpful , he said he did not know ( this is a small Ampur out in the sticks ) so he made several phone calls to Bangkok and came back with the answer no I could not have my name included on the new house book, ...but if I provided him with a list of things ( marriage paperwork, etc ), and copy's etc I would be issued with a " new Yellow " house book for the same new address...?

Can any one please explaine just what this "Yellow House book " is all about...?

Many Thanks ....... Mumbo

Thanks to all, for the comments, I live in a small village about 1-1/2 hours from Korat, so may be if I go with an Apple , and some thing does need to be looked at then a trip to Bangkok's not too bad...? I am still undecided !!!!!!!.

Thanks ..... Mumbo

Can any one point me in the right direction to a Thai web site that shows this ...

(Department is relying on one of 3 sections of the Civil and Commercial Code)

Many Thanks ........ Mumbo

Many Thanks for the replys, Guy's .... Firefoxx sorry but did not intend to start the Apple war, .......Juts one more point I have thought of is that if I go for an Apple, and some thing dose go wrong with the machine, it seem's there are not too many places ( only in Bangkok ) to take the machine to fix any problems...?, with a PC there's just about a repair shop on every soi corner or is it that the chance of an Apple needing a repair are so low its not worth thinking about...?

Thanks ........ Mumbo

Ps. any first time switchers about ......?

Thanks Guy's,

Not knowing too much about computers , and the fact ive been using Windows for the past year, your comments( you may want to reconsider; especially if you've been a WinTel user all along.) (do you really need to buy an apple when Windows PC of equivalent specs are much cheaper in Thailand? )

makes me think, can any one give me some ideas what moving over to the Apple OSX would be like, and may be some comments as to For / Against staying with Windows , and forgetting about the Apple Mac idea...?

Thanks .... Mumbo

Thanks Guy's for the info, some thing to think about, I am not really up on computers, although ive been using this old (7 Years / 75MB RAM ) second hand computer for a year now , running Windows 98, and now its time to treat myself to a new machine, my Thoughts were get the best I can afford with the largest Memory and hard Drive,

I want to use the new computer for e.mail, web surfing and photos, nothing too fancy but as with all things as soon as you buy some thing that you think will meet your needs, ... after using it for some time you see that you should have purchased the better model as you have learnt /want to do more with the machine than you first thought, hence get the largest memory / Hard drive you can afford ...? am I correct in thinking that...? or am I going overboard with this way of thinking...?

Ive never used an Apple Mac , but all the comments about the brand seem to be very positive, and just looking at the comments by other Apple users the machines seem to have few problems..? your comments / advice would help me in my choice of Brand Etc ...

Thanks again Guy's ........ Mumbo
