Do you have to wear a towel during a massage?
If the massage is done by a reasonably gorgeous woman then a towel is a polite start. If, on the other hand, it's a wistful male, then for me, it has to be a large size chastity belt.

Thailand’s carbon tax: Battling climate change, but at what cost?
Will the carbon tax have a refund option to allow tree growers, like myself, to reclaim against all the tonnes of carbon they are removing from the air? Or is it just a one way street?

Yep. Your link pretty well confirms the species Hrastova sjajnica. Brilliant and thanks.

I found this growing in my mini forest the other day. I asked my Thai wife what it might be and her reply was "Dangerous". Can anyone recognise it and put a name to it?

Courier Option to return a passport for a UK standard visitor visa not working?
This sounds like a typical British way of doing things. However it does ensure that the person who applies is verified to be the passport holder. How the agents get over that must be that they are the nominated representative of the applicant.

Temporary electric wires across our land. Is it safe?
Do I understand this right? There is a white wire run from the meter on bamboo poles. I assume the white wire is domestic house wire. This is unsatisfactory if exposed to the elements for an extended period (a few years). What is the cable protection at the meter? Assuming the white wire is two core 2.5mm², there should be a fuse at the meter end not exceeding 20 Amps. The fuse will ensure the wire won't get too hot in the event of a short at one of the connections etc. Mind you, if there is a catastrophic fuseless shorting event the PEA supply will be sufficient to vaporise the cable.

PEA requesting everybody to register
So it sounds like a fast feedback loop to monitor the inverter output cycle by cycle would be required to control this instability as I understand it.

PEA requesting everybody to register
It strikes me that this "Ghost power" is a design shortfall. If zero export is called for then why not incorporate a mechanical device like a control relay to isolate the inverter. These inverters are getting exorbitantly expensive so they should concentrate a bit of resource on Ghost power elimination. Perhaps call in Ghost Busters (did someone already think of that?).

PEA requesting everybody to register
I am not grid tied except through the ATS. ATS priority is 1st solar. 2nd PEA. Mine is a single phase ATS. If I have a need to use PEA at any time, all I have to do is disconnect my inverter output and the ATS will automatically switch over to PEA. Transfer time is between ½ second to 1 second. How does the ATS work? There is a relay permanently energised by priority 1 input. Relay contacts are arranged to connect rectified AC power to a small motor which controls, via a mechanical linkage, two mcb's in an OR logic way. If power is off from the inverter then the relay is de-energised, the motor runs one way and switches the mcb's over. If power from the inverter is put back on then the relay is energised and the motor runs the other way to switch the mcb's back to priority 1 input. The mechanical linkage is arranged so that it is impossible to have both mcb's in the same state.

81 year old Thai man loses 22 million baht to police impersonator
Not fishy atall. EGAT is owned by the ministry of energy therefore Paisan was, in effect, a government employee. I think we are all aware what that means. Paisan knew he had some unexplained wealth and thought he had been found out so he tried to buy his way out.

Sometimes my sense of humour leads me to wonder why I have not been shot yet. I hope all goes swimmingly every Deye day after switch-on

The boxes look nice. But I wouldn't say "all good" until after switch-on and all the blue smoke has dissipated...........

3,900 Thai community radio stations to cease under new digital scheme
I think what you can and what you cannot broadcast already applies to analogue radio. There is nothing to stop a transmitter changing to digital technology and still transmitting unapproved content. Licencing rules are notoriously ignored in LOS. (Off topic for a moment. My wife applied to the local hospital to deliver drugs to patients. She was one of twenty applicants but she got the job easily because none of the others had a motorcycle driving license.)

This is not censorship in any way shape or form. The rest of the world has standardised on digital broadcasting so why not Thailand? The reason for the change to digital is the improvement in channel capacity, better sound quality, excellent signal to noise ratio, better range and less power hungry and transmitter equipment is considerably more efficient. Many countries in the rest of the world started doing this fifty years ago. TV is digital. Internet is digital. Mobile phones are digital. Audio amplifiers are mainly digital. Censorship happens regardless of the technology.

Do You Guys Use Taobin?
Not true. "Lots of studies have looked at coffee and liver health. Overall these found that drinking coffee is likely to be good for your liver." https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/living-with-a-liver-condition/coffee/#:~:text=It should be safe for,cirrhosis if they drank coffee. Green tea is great. "Green tea is packed full of health-promoting compounds. Regularly drinking green tea can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of several diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Drinking three to five cups of green tea per day seems to be optimal to reap the most health benefits. Very high doses may be problematic for some, but generally, green tea’s benefits far outweigh its risks. In fact, drinking more green tea may greatly improve your health." https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-green-tea-per-day#TOC_TITLE_HDR_5

Thai Last Will and Testament Question
In the situation of a multiple page will, each page should be signed by the testator. The final page has the signatures of witnesses who have seen the testator sign each page. Any amendments are open to challenge unless initialed by the testator. The will can be stored anywhere you please but needs to be easy to find when required.

Tile Resurfacing Options
Thinking more. Ruangsangthai near Buriram city sell the epoxy by the bucket full so a bit of creative googling etc should turn up a flooring company or two.

Tile Resurfacing Options
No idea but I expect there are somewhere. First locate a supplier. They will know who is using it.

This could be a job for a clear, or whatever colour you like, epoxy layer.
