Maybole

I have owned both Mercedes and BMW with Varta batteries. If you can find a Varta agent the battery may cost x baht. Put it in a BMW or Meredes box and the price becomes 2x+.

Maybole, yes fire blankets are the modern version of the wet tea towel for the old chip pan fire..

so they are a kitchen aid.

 

Home pro have them in now (you may even see my three bottles still lined up)

You can also get them at the safety centre which is almost next door to the Robinsons entrance on H.D.road.

 

Global dont have but like everything else they often dont have and have no intention of stocking up.

Thank you, I will be there tomorrow.

I have been looking also at fire extinguishers with the same amount of puzzlement. Madam would prefer a proper fire blanket, but I have as yet been unable to find one. Has anybody seen them on sale in the Chiangmai area?

We have just moved into a new built two storey house.On the ground floor is a european  style kitchen complete with cooker hood and full gas oven and hob . Madamme la Patronne insisted on building a separate "Thai kithen" which is accessed via covered path. In spite of it being fully equipped she has still to use it

If China wants to rule the world they can do it anytime.  And the world will collapse. 

 

An invasion of Europe via Russia have been looked at historically as something that could happen if the Chinese are desperate enough. Do not mess with them .

I am fortunate in having a brother who allows me to use his address.. My bank and Credit Card provider, although aware that I am in Thailand, have expressed a preference to my having a "home address" .

Also, in a country as politially unstable as Thailand, I always have a nagging fear that a future "government " may turn hostile to aliens and I may be required to scuttle back home in a hurry.

Put the TM.30 form in an envelope addressed to "The competent official, Chiang Mai Immigration Office, Chiang Mai" and send it by registered mail. Keep the postal receipt and a copy of the mailed form.

The TM30 was successfully lodged, it is the TM28 I could not get accepted.

This morning, my wife and I visited Promenada to report moving house.

My wife to file a TM30 reporting the presence of an "Alien" in "her" house, Myself to file a TM 28 reporting a change of address.

As supporting docfuments my wife produced her ID card and copy and her Tabien Ban with copies of the relevent pages. I produced my passport and copies of the title page, original visa, latest extension of stay, Arrival card (TM6), receipt for original address notification and latest 90 day report.

The TM28 was handed back but all the other copies were retained. A receipt for my wife's TM30 was stapled into my passport.

The desk informed me that they dealt only with TM30 notifications.

I tried severalo ther desks but none would accept the TM28.

I am puzzled as to where to lodge it.

 I  have bought a gas cooker, the manual states that it is to be used for LPG which I interpret as Liquified Petroleum Gas. In Thailand there are two types, Butane in a blue bottle and mixed gas in a green bottle. Furthermore there two types of pressure regulators, a red and a green.

Which gas should I use and which regulator is appropriate ?

This is not confined to Thailand. My wife used to get impatient with my checking value for money between pack sizes in UK. On many occasions the smaller pack was cheaper. It's a common supermarket trick but not illegal.

At the moment my registered address is at my stepdaughter's house where my wife is housemaster. A few days ago we moved into a new.built house, stil in the same province.

The Ampeu office has not yet issued any ownership papers and besides, I want to be my own Housemaster. I cannot register my new address until the Ampeu issue a new ID Card to my wife. In the meantime I am supposedly breaking the law and liable for a large fine. I asked the woman at the change of address desk in Promenada about it and she seemed unaware of any problem as long as I am registered somewhere. Is there any advice ?

Here is a sample I found on the internet. Your local Ampeu office should have their own form.

Register it with the Ampeu and make sure that it is noted on the chanote in the same way a mortgage is, and of course, KEEP A COPY.

My Bank ATM/Debit card expired in May. Having no faith in Thai Post, I Emailed the bank and recieved a reply to send a letter of confirmation. I wanted the bank to send the card to a UK address from whence it could be sent on by Royal Mail Tracked and Signed method.

Before my letter had arrived the bank's automatic system sent it direct to me in Thailand. To my surprise it arrived at the correct address 24 days later. It had had chinese lettering added somewhere but the address did not include Thailand only Chiangmai. I suspect that it initially went to somewhere in China and was redirected.

However my faith in Chinese abd Thai Postal Services is enhanced.

I have had several orders from Lazada in the last year the last being 2 weeks ago at Thb17000. All were COD but I have noticed that on some items a message pops up "COD not Available". I think that some suppliers especially from outside Thailand do not offer COD.

The last time I left I had an Emirates ticket. The CNX to BKK leg was wth Bangkok Aitways. I checked in at the international desk at CNX and my baggage was checked all the way to GLA. Similarly I was issued with Boarding cards all the way. I left CNX through the International Departures and was interepted at BKK by staff who directed me to a bus which took me direct to International Departures.

I suggest you check in at the International Desk at CNX and show both tickets.

Chiangmai area.

I have seen solar powered gate lights somewhere in Chiangmai, approx a year ago. Now I cannot remember where. Has any member seen them recently. If so ,where?

And I cannot find a place to safely dispose of a dead Li-ion laptop battery.

Many Thanks Crossy. I presume that two neutral wires sharing a common connection point on the neutral bar in the distribution box does not constitute s "shared neutral". I have seen that.

I am just completing a house, The (Thai) electrician seems to have done a good job. I have never heard of a "shared neutral" before. Expert, please explain exactly what this is, I want to check my system.

Where in Chiangmai can I safely dispose of a defunct Li-Ion laptop battery ?
