I know this has been discussed before!

My lights have always shown a 'sign of life' when switched off. After having 24hrs of continual rain they now are at the stage of being 'dim' when turned off.

My neighbours either side have the same problem. As the weather improves, so do my lights!

Is it insufficient grounding of the main supply power pole?

SBS REFRIGERATOR HITACHI RS600PTH0 GS 21CU.FT SILVER MIRROR (homepro.co.th)

I bought this last week. 

Very impressed with the door storage and it's soooooo quiet compared to my last f/f. 

Off topic I know but I'm curious ... Have you got fat fingers?

If you start of move everything over to pink ID, then you can put your passport in the safe and go about your day to day business with just pink ID. Pink card doesn't expire like a passport does and no need to update bank, license etc. Both systems work but there are some advantages to operating in the pink card system.

AFAIK:   The 'pink card' does expire if you obtained one before the age of 60. Mine expires in 2569, obtained in 2559.

Printed on the bottom front of the card.

Before subscribing I would recommend you read this:

Peacock TV is not available in Thailand. (Unless running a VPN)

AFAIK, prices quoted are incl. of any taxes.

Hybrid is the way to go. No having to plug in your car to charge the battery, and you can drive all day as

long as you gas up before the gas tank is empty.  If Thailand wiring is like Canada you will blow your fuses if 

you plug your electric car in, when you have the washer or dryer running.  Plus you do not need the special tires

for hybrid cars as well.  Just a suggestion.\Geezer

Went to my local market yesterday to buy my cross section of vegetables and fruit..

Bought my usual supplies in the same amounts, extra cost 150 baht from what I normally spend?

It's coming up to Songkran ... Prices go up every year about this time!

1 week ago, I purchased a 2020 Toyota Revo Rocco 2.4 2x4 automatic with 58 kilometers on the odometer for 870,000 baht including 7% vat from a Toyota Sure dealer. It had sat in a showroom for a year. Perfect condition. Dealer added ceramic window tinting. List price 1,079,000. Toyota dealers with leftover prior year stock move the vehicles to a Toyota Sure dealer.

List price for this 'old' model was ฿995,000. Dealers were able to discount at least 75k off this price and throw in all sorts of goodies incl. A1 insurance towards the end of 2020. Totally different ride from the 'new' Rocco!

Still a good deal though!  ????

How is the tree, standing there minding its own business being atree and along comes an idiot on a motor cycle and hits it, will it get counselling and any damage to the tree being monitored. BNugger the ridere...useless pratt. 

Another who thinks he is holier-than-thou. Useless prat.

A life has been needlessly lost through lack of road education or just bad judgement. It happens far too often in Thailand as we all know. R.I.P.

I'm glad that I will never be so unfortunate to meet someone with such disregard for life.

and to think so many claim to come here for the cheap lifestyle. 

 

I did!  One of my reasons anyway. 

Obviously the teacher doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'dream' using it as a verb, not a noun.

I was involved in the I.E.L.T.S. speaking examination for a language school in China:

''I think it might have to stay as my dream Job, rather than my actual job! Even so, I think it is important to have a dream because otherwise how can you ever have a dream come true!''

Worth checking out for large amounts.

I use Express at $8 a month to watch BBC.,ITV, Ch4 , Ch5 all the time. No limits.

Op was enquiring about a free vpn.

Windscribe.

I use it to access UK tv programmes on the odd occasion that I want to watch it. (BTCC)

Limited to 10GB p.m.

I prefer to eat the skins of fruit and vegetables. 

I use Vegga fruit and veg wash.

The Mandalorian  Season 1 & 2

A Star Wars spin off.

Watching on Vumoo.

If you're into Sci Fi then this is a must see! 

Sorry Op but as many say:  You tink 2 mut ! 

Keep it simple.

It's only a small tank and you really don't need to build a launch pad.

My slab (no micro piles) is on unstable ground hence the cracks in the surrounding walls (paddy fields behind) and it's fine. 

Anyway, from my limited experience; buy a larger tank and shield it from direct sunlight is more important. I'm upgrading my tank as finances permit. 

JMO.   

If money is no problem then do what you think fit, it's your money!

I honestly consider myself lucky to be living in Thailand in these covid times, living up in the 'Boonies' where there has been no covid related deaths and only 5 infections since the beginning. (Was 4 until 2 days ago)

I believe it will get worse before it gets better and Thailand should remain vigilant to remain relatively covid free compared to many other countries. I'm not a Thai apologist, I'm a whinging Brit but I know where I'd rather be at this point in time. It's time to be positive and I look forward to doing some travelling in 2021-22 to the surrounding countries of S-E Asia.

May the year 2021 be a successful year that is remembered as the recovery year from covid around the world. Bottoms up! ????

I've been watching these two closing in on each for the last few nights, hoping and praying for a clear night tonight.

 

And we have one! I have a clear view right now and it's beautiful to see. I can just make out the the two bodies.

Are you on about your frolicking neighbours? ????
