  1. Visited a friend who recently bought a condo which seems to have very low water pressure all the time. To improve the situation in bathroom, he had bought a cheap booster pump from Lazada and simply put in water heater inlet line. It kind of makes it a bit better, but nothing comparable what e.g I have in my house with a Mitsu WP pump. I was wondering whether the EP series Mitsu pump which has the flow switch in addition to pressure switch would work in his condo if installed right after the water meter, boosting the pressure in all rooms? What is the functional logic in EP series with the pressure and flow switches? The small booster pump with (flow sensor/switch) logically works OK in his case - it simply starts if water starts flowing, keeps running all the time until flow stops for whatever reason. In his case the pump indeed should work like that i.e in case the condo water supply would be so bad that no flow at all without the pump running, the pump should not start at all. The pump should simply be a booster pump which only runs if there is something to boost i.e some flow (which start if a tap is opned and stops when tap closed). If zero water coming in from condo supply, pump should not start at all. The WP pump I have would not work in his case, but would EP? If not, anything else suitable for his case?
  2. Headline could be more positive, e.g "Tourism services industry doing well regardless of laws that are negatively impacting the market"
  3. Chance hab even in Pattaya. Good quality amulet needed to increase odds, with bad one sure difficult to catch! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18TACv9mrJ/
  4. Have ordered my beans only from small roasters selling their products in lazada for years. Tried many different roasters over the years and have yet to get anything that was not good - though I am not really an afficionado just a heavy user. Lately ordered this one as dark roast which was good to my taste. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.F1xQo
  5. Waiting to see the one targeted to women. Fairly easy to install the machinery to satisfy sexual needs. And probably not too difficult to have microphone to listen the complaints, requests and other yakyak, processed by AI to put answers that the woman likes to hear based on personal preferences from the speaker. Even integrating ATM equipment into it is easy. But how to keep it replenished is probably an unsurmountable problem to solve even for the best engineers.
  6. They definitely need to launch subscription pricing model for Thai market. Small one time fee and then 1000-2000 usd per mo subscription fee ('salary'), payable even when customer is out of country or the doll malfunctioning...or being used by some free rider when left alone unused by the subscriber Also, I for the sake of excitement, invoice some unexpected maintenance fees every now and then due to various reasons on top of the monthly fee. Add a notification to software that after few months of use requests for dedicated storage space to be built for the doll. Financial result proven to be phenomenal
  7. Every now and then you have passenger causing noise or other disturbance sitting next to you, but children or drunkard or something else. At least the passenger seated next or near the body in this case could travel in peace, without anyone making noise or jumping to bathroom all the time, just resting or sleeping in peace and quiet. Not sure about smell though.
  8. Siam great adventures. They will take you even alone if you so wish. Or join small group if you cheap Charlie https://www.facebook.com/share/17U1f4Q774/
  9. I don't know if the same owners as before or changed hands. But seems good reviews lately too so probably no change.
  10. Two idiots fighting, only one down. having said that, security guards in bar areas should be trained to talk away or take down these drunkards nicely. Shoud not get agitated by idiot drunks. But hard to find such mature guys here to work as guard.
  11. Demand for Thai prawns from Japanese buffet restaurant operators skyrocketing then!
  12. You missed the whole purpose of these law, which is not the same as in the west. If no laws would need to be broken to run a profitable business, how could the police force and various other govt officials make their living? The purpose of potential additional laws is to try to get more reasons for payments, not to change anything on the ground. That's how big part of the country economy works.
  13. That's exactly why they will be built. Not only get some change from foreigners as usual, but get the rest as well - at least from some of them. Another prong to the forex generating trident of bar girl sponsorship, buying property in wife's name and funding life of sick buffalos/grandmas/etc which are all good with decent hooks, but for many Asian guys spending their change in WS, casinos could work better to get the rest from them. Have to say not a bad business strategy financially. But I'll stick playing with change only.
  14. A Sri Lankan 'nobody' has a domestic caged lion few blocks up the Soi where I live... And I don't mean wife or gf.
  15. Oh really it is so that if my pitbull kills someone, I get convicted of manslaughter as I would if I did the act?
  16. Have you ever heard a Thai expressing responsibility for something negative happened? Sometimes kind of entertaining to listen the explanations and ways try to make things appear not their fault
  17. For dog attacks, change the law so that owner of the dog is responsible for the attacks as if he would have done the attack himself. Maybe people get more careful.
  18. It's a hidden gem...now that I am living here can share to others... Unbeatable value. Only advise I can give is that if you prefer soft bed like I do, need to ask if could get room with one as ome rooms have firmer ones and some quality soft ones.
  19. Also stayed in this hotel every now and then, though not monthly. I recall they did not have monthly discount rate. But the hotel was absolutely excellent for the money. Can recommend to anyone - however I recall they presumably had a policy that you should not change girlfriend every night, not sure though as I had a long rent at the time and that was fine. https://maps.app.goo.gl/CRzjZGYX9Tbh5HQe7
  20. Few years ago I used to stay in this place on and off some 1-3 MO at a time. paid 11-12k per month. Clean and tidy. Prices might have gone up since then though. It was pretty new place at the time, all okay for me. https://maps.app.goo.gl/u7pP6VRofbdd7JiU7
  21. No. Just get to their temple in time for the date with a lady of the night and a bottle of laokao.
  22. Wonder if offering a ride to a monk actually qualifies as 'merit' if the person giving the ride won't also give cash to the monk? Like the indulgence thingy in catholic church before, good deeds did not count unless you also gave cash to the priests as that what they really are after.
  23. Excactly. Has been like that quite a while. Maybe they think the taxation changes last year as incentive to make that happen.
  24. ... And this is another one that opened neighbors drain last year. They came from some industrial area outside Pattaya with couple of days waiting time that's why I did not use them as wanted immediately as could to even use shower. The first crew is in Pattaya, came right away. Same machine, same performance. Charged 2000
  25. These guys had the motorized professional snake, opened my clogged kitchen drain with it. I recall they put some 10 meters of the snake into the pipe. Agree price upfront. Thai friend who referred to me paid 1500, I assumed same so did not agree price upfront, but after finished they wanted more (not recall for sure if it was 2k or 2500), I assume because farang... Anyway end result was good.
