Thanks rumak,
I live in the sticks so won,t have problems with blueprints
The structure is built already
Hopefully I,ll be able to keep a cool head,
Though I will be adamant on how I want the electrical done.
I speak some conversational thai but this is a different ball game ( I imagine my thai will improve alot)so yes I,ll be relying on my wife.
I do realise its going to be hard work,
But with the right attitide it could be a good experience and learning curve

No problem mate,Just being light-hearted. Apologies if I offended you.
Australians AFAIK are not imperialists.
I was a bit defensive

Hey Crossy,[mention=175128]insiket[/mention] what's your nationality (electrical codes you're used to) and where in Thailand is the house.
I,m Irish.
The last time I did domestic work was 15 yrs ago or so in california.
I work in the UK mostly now doing GE gas turbine shutdown and upgrade work.
I,m in Si Saket

I know..my wife rang me this morning to meet her and the electrician at the hardware store.everything they do with the electric will be totally unacceptable to you. suggest you buy tranquilizers.
I hadn,t even marked out where I wanted switches,outlets etc.
So had no idea how much materials were needed.
I seriously thought, now is a good time for that trip to Nepal I keep putting off.
I,ll just go with it now
It,s going to be a learning curve[emoji3]

Hi Artisi,Have it done the way you want it, wiring codes mean nothing the the local farmer come sparkie, but be careful not to step on toes - diplomacy is No1.
Discuss what you want, how you want it done, get a clear understanding of what is expected, however - it will still be done their way if you let it.
Good luck.
I know what you mean about the codes,
I,m in the sticks out here.
As you say the challenge is not to upset anyone.
Not the easiest thing in these parts.
Thanks

Hey Steve,Forgot to mention... you stated that you will do the design. Thais don't use design (that I have seen) so make sure they understand yours. Otherwise, they are famous (infamous?) for putting only one outlet per room, sharing neutrals, and over-sizing breakers/under-sizing cable, and, if your contract has the builder supplying materials, will go with cheap crap. Beware.
I know what you mean.
I,m marking out swiches and sockets on the walls to start,
and I,ll be watching everything like a hawk.
Ie. Cable sizes, neutrals etc.
I,ll be buying most of the materials myself,
Especially when it comes to 2nd fix.
Thanks again.I appreciate any advice and ideas

Ha ha..agreed,no chance will I be chasing walls.Unless you are familiar with grinding out channels in the wall, you will most likely not want to do that yourself. Otherwise, go for it. Unless you are using a major builder, you are not likely to get a proper installation (same for the plumbing). Unless you have already paid for it, you really do want to DIY. And don't be afraid to supervise EVERYTHING being done because it will probably be necessary.
I see alot of close supervision and stepping in when needed (DIY)
I don,t intend to see sloppy work let go.
I foresee a nightmare

Thanks for your reply,
I would rather do it myself,but I,m wary of overstepping the mark.
I,ll keep up with local codes and be as specific with instructions as I can.
Thanks again

They are not domestic animals...they are feral..The recent outbreak of rabies has brought further attention to the number of domestic animals that roam the streets of Thailand. In your opinion, which is the best option for dealing with the issue of stray animals.
Feel free to leave a comment.
Shoot the lot of them

I tried with both driving license and passport(Irish).I tried multiple timesWhich ID are you using?
I was automatically detected in thailand ( probably with IP address ), but was able to change the country to Germany by fulfilling their registration requests ( passport picture, selfie etc. )

Who did you register with in Europe?To register an account in BX.in.th is too complicated for me. I got stack with the 2factor authentication and deposit from a Thai Bank.
The customer service was helpful but finally I gave up.
In the meantime I'm registered with an exchange place in Europe and everything went fast and smoothly. All transactions are done instantly !

Thanks for your reply..I already have Binance.So I will look into itBit and kucoin.Forget coinbase. I had the same shit experience.
Register with 'itBIT' quickly. Also register with binance and kucoin.
Then wire money to your account wallet with itBIT. Buy bitcoin. Then send the bitcoin to either binance or kucoin. Buy any of the other altcoins with ease.
Coinbase is for babies and a waste of time. You will have pathetic buying limits. They still have me on 2000 max buying limit. I can do $100,000 usd on itbit or more if I want.

Far too quick.apart from a few terrifyi ng moments with the gun to the back of the head.It,s an easy way out.
Life in a thai prison,with the inmates knowing exactly what he is in for is more appropriate for that b@$t@£d
