PM Plans to Upgrade and Rename Hua Hin Airport

Immediate reaction after seeing the headline was that now they want to do the same smart "name upgrade" thingy as they did for Bang Sue station, but seems not. So far anyway. -

How can I measure if air is flowing through the water meter
mran66 replied to Tropicalevo's topic in DIY Forum
I understood from the OP (maybe erroneously?) that water was being supplied by truck to cover for water shortage, and concern was air possibly being mixed to get bigger meter reading for the bill from that guy. Just like the tuned taxi fare meters running double speed. After the meter sure nothing changes. -
How can I measure if air is flowing through the water meter

If a thai is in a position to get cash by selling air as water based on baht/cbm deal, certainly there is a solution to this. if nothing else then a separate compressor! -

If water level in your tank is low enough so that the foot valve is not properly under water, 100% sure you get air mixed in. If you just want to know if the water pumped to your house has air mixed in, disconnect the bum gun from the hose and put the hose into a bucket that has enough water to keep the hose under water, and open the valve so that water can flow to the bucket (keep end of the hose under water). If you don't see bubbles, not (at least much) air. If see bubbles, has air mixed with water. You should also hear it by listening the pump, it gets noisy if air mixed in. I would expect to be able to hear it also e.g when toilet is filling, not quiet any more. -

You must be misinformed. It must be dirty farangs, or at least farangs. Or possibly farangs disguised as Thai. How else could you blame someone else? -
Three Thai Beaches Make it to the World's Top 100 List
mran66 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I would reckon Pattaya Beach should be higher on the list for the very reason the writer thinks it mayeb should not (not have stunning beauty), actually Pattaya Beach have many stunning beauties. At a fairly affordable rate. What Beach can beat that? -
Probably the starting capacitor if it does not run or run slow. If you can not replace yourself this guy can do https://maps.app.goo.gl/r9L8SRWc5Cn9hrU29 Have many small electric repair shops around, all can do simple 5 min job. Take off the motor cover. See small black block connected with 2 wires. Snap it off and get a replacement (amorn, lazada, any electric shop) and connect back. 20-30 baht part

You can just go to city hall, tell your condo address number (123/456 Moo 00) and voila they print the invoice and you pay cash on the spot. Did for myself and 3 of my neighbors (none of who had received the invoice, nor me) after Songkran

I had reported my tm30 (myself online) day after my arrival in Feb. Officer did not say anything about tm30, just said new system such that every time after coming to thailand, can not do first 90 day report online. TIT

Just out from immigration for the 90 day report. Asked why got rejection even if always worked OK online for many years. Answer was that hab new system (software) and now need to do first 90 day report after returning to thailand in person, after that presumably can do online. Stupid if you ask me... Before was so that you had to do in person after entering the country with new passport first time, after that ok online.

... And if you are in Jomtien, and if the part is steel, this shop off watboon probably can fix it (weld) too. Or possibly make replacement one if some special alloy that can not weld (try if magnet sticks, if it does it is steel) https://goo.gl/maps/KnA837WVWmGkrdvm9

Thailand Customs to Apply VAT on All Postal Imports
mran66 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Some european countries did similar move some years back. To deal with that, Alibaba created a system that they handle the VAT payments automatically for all the millions of parcels the sellers sell on their platform. No work at all for buyer. If you choose such euro country as your shipment location, price is different than e.g Thailand, and stated that it include VAT. Parcels come home in mail like before, just VAT added. So this is actually (relatively) favourable to Alibaba as they have system in place, whereas some smaller sellers may not. The question how will Thai govt officials enable that system to be connect to their system, as if all done automatically, not much chance to extort bribes from buyers. Alibaba sure need to pay something to customs to compensate the losses of course...but to block off Alibaba from selling to Thailand, wont happen as big brother will come remind who is big brother if they try! So, as long as they allow the IT systems to talk, this is no issue, and fully understandable for Thai govt to do it, though of course I would prefer to buy tax free. -

Officials Concerned Over Potential Overcrowding in Pattaya and Phuket
mran66 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Pattaya mostly has quality tourists by thai definition (spending) , but many non quality retirees Pattaya tourists, those one week millionaires, usually spend a lot on hookers and booze every day, thus qualify as quality ones! -
certainly all of them have a lot to hide, and all also have something about other they absolutely dont want to become public. That's how the system works, balance of horror. Not a good idea to start nuclear war against someone who has nukes also. Having said that, if someone gets pissed off or is scrwed by others for whatever reason, the damage control is difficult. At the end, foreign media is probably the only party that could tell the truth had they access to the information. All others will be silenced if need be, especially in case like this, having the level of involved as it is. BJ is really playing a gamble, bullying the bullies, to see what he can get from the system. But he is against the big wind. Still I believe the likely outcome after few rounds of threats and barking is a settlement of some kind, and public will be told it was all a misunderstanding, nobody had done anything wrong and especially not anything illegal. Life goes on.
