There have been many warnings about these waters lately, so nobody to blame but himself

Aren't you a peach...

So the answer is - TV is of two minds on this topic....shocking

It's a 110 volt 1850 watt blow dryer. It's not dual voltage. It just has two setting; low and high.

Seems to work great on low. Fan blows twice as fast, heat is fine. Has a breaker attached to the plug which didn't trip.

I haven't tried it on high.

I paid $10 dollars in the USA and the equivalent fan power in a blow dryer here is about 2000 baht. I have no idea why blow dryers are so expensive here.

Realistically, is it dangerous to use on low?

It'll work great right until it overloads and catches your dresser on fire. Good luck with that.

That's exactly the sort of answer I expected.

I think cheap dual voltage travel hair dryers just restrict usage to the low setting at 220 with no other modifications. Anyone have any useful knowledge?

You're using a 110 heating element with 220 current - you are asking for trouble. Hopefully your "knowledge" doesn't end up burning someone else's property down. You can get a decent Phillips or Panasonic hair dryer at central for less that 1000 baht

You sound like a man who needs to have someone else making his decisions for him.

I think this is a stupid decision. Altavista was at the time in the similar situation as Google search is now. Everybody were using it, well together with Lycos.

Yahoo could have re-branded the altatvista, but still keep the existing visible pages to look like altavista. At least for historical reasons.

It was just few days ago when I tried to use babelfish.altavista.com and gor redirected to yahoo.com weird start page, which feels like a blow from 1990's.

Google translate is better anyway

Thanks Dr Phil

Curiosity killed the cat

I'm sure that Nelson Mandela - a real man of the world and a role model to millions will appreciate the sentiments.

But I do have to make comment on how Thaksin is portrayed in the Media sometimes ... and this is not a political statement.

The photo used in the lead article is a slightly cropped Wikipedia photo which can be viewed here.

It was taken when he was the Prime Minister of Thailand and the image that, by inference, portrays that he is still the Boss here ... no pun intended.

Why not use something closer to reality such as ...

Taken from the Forbes magazine

Not disrespectful and probably closer to the reality that he is not a government leader in Thailand.

Just saying like ...

.

LMAO that you think he is not in charge...

Imagine if you cleaned your house once in a while....

Tick tick tick

Yes (duh)

Thread Topic Translation -

Thoughts after reading this whole thread...if you have to keep saying "I am not a racist"....you're probably a racist.

Well Thais are more racist than most, I guess we as farangs learn from the best

Such a cutie

I have been offered drugs in that area.

I have been attacked with a knife in that area.

I have been offered children in another area.

I have been offered millions of dollars in return for some help in that area.

I have had 3 mobiles stolen in that area.

I've paid too much for noodles in that area.

Maybe you should move?
