  1. So a while ago lots of people were saying it was much easier paying with credit card/mobile banking. I always paid with cash and for a while started paying with my kbank app. Yes it was easier and I could get them to leave the parcel at the entrance to our house without having to be in to collect the parcel. I have now had 2 parcels cancelled by the seller which means I have to wait 7-14 days for the payment to be returned to my bank according to shopee. Forget that I am going back to cash on delivery. Luckily both items were only a few thousand baht but after waiting for a week and not seeing them even being packed I could have cancelled before if I had not paid. Cod for me from now on.
  2. Never a 5 iron ! i'd think a 7 or 8 iron would be the best. A wood is too flimsy and long. The graphite could break easier, longer to swing. etc. I'd defintely avoid graphite shafted clubs. putters are equally bad as i don't think their build quality is as rugged I think a 7 iron would be it, very maneuverable, you can swing it quickly. steel shafted , still would do a ton of damage.
  3. Has anyone considered the brit was just trying to help the thai man out? There might well have been a mosquito on the thai mans face and by the looks of it i think he got it. Even Will smith would have been proud of that one.
  4. How do you know thats not his first drink?
  5. If I wasn't using air-con I very much doubt I would even be looking at solar energy . The whole point is to have a comfortable environment and with the heat and humidity for a good few months of the year a few fans in the room are not going to help much I'm with crossy on this.
  6. Yes i thought that who can use 40-80 units a month with aircon ? They must use the air con for 15 minutes a day and what are you cooking a brussel sprout?
  7. You use more on some days that some people do for the month. Is that all solar?
  8. Well 25 years ago, Thailand was very appealing Cheap flights Chilling on the beach all day and beach huts were 100 baht a night or less Movies playing in the restaurants while having a beer and some pad thai Not a mobile phone in sight Sat on the beach istening to bad guitar's until 5am or all night at the full moon party. It's not just Thailand that's changed If I was in my twenties now I don't think Thailand you be as appealing as it once was and I would be looking at many other countries to visit. My nephews in the UK said they heard Thailand was "Nice" Now that's not what I heard before I first visited in 1997
  9. Many thanks for the info just checked our consumption 9am-4.30pm 16 units We are using around 26 units between4.30pm-9am This is only when its this time with April-July around the highest Saying that our eldest son just finished school so the aircon in his room is taking a belting
  10. I thought that How hard can it be? Here hold my beer! 😃
  11. This sounds ok but it's our air cons that use the most electric. Wouldn't mind just having air con on solar .
  12. Now that's great. DIY set up sounds good What sort of price would this be?
  13. Many thanks crossy for your advice. I will check about day/night usage but will not be off grid as will need it sometimes for sure. Maybe worth looking at doing a smaller system and no battery to start with and I can always add more later. As we don't usually go over 25 units for around half the year a smaller system might be better but will need to see the size and consumption of a swimming pool as it would surely bring the usage back up Was that 40-50 panel's needed as might need a bigger garage roof Well worth the investment
  14. Takes ages to warm up? Press the buttons and nothing works? need a trade in i think Plenty out there ,new models turn on so quick and are ready for anything you have
  15. At the moment we are looking at building a new house which will be similar to our usage currently. We are using around 40-50kwh a day What would an approximate cost be and how many panels would be needed with a suitable battery? We have 2 inverters running 24/7 (at the moment ) When it is not so crazy hot we probably only use 25kwh per day maximum We will have a swimming pool which will also use more energy but will keep using the meter when needed Many thanks just trying to price everything up
  16. Being a cyclist your asking for it and not just during songkran
  17. I thought that , He was swearing in english but more german/french /swiss accent spitting when using the f word
  18. Many years ago a friend and his girlfriend were in a tuktuk with 2 suitcases in bangkok going to the airport during songkran. My friend was getting so pi77ed off at getting wet and shouting at everyone. They were both soaked and covered in powder All there clothes in the suitcase were soaked and were just about to have a flight back to the uk worst part was it was not a direct flight so that added to the nightmare His girlfriend said he was going crazy telling everyone to fk off I would have loved to have been in a taxi next to them
