Yes but not 2.5sq mm, at least not on a gpo, maybe a 70hp irrigation pump. Try that down here, take out the primary fuse and the supply mob will hit you with a $500.00 fee.

Fuse...??? ..........looks like a bit of solid core copper wire to me..........????

One is there are derating factors applied to bunched cabling (at least in countries that use rules) and maximum numbers of cables per bunch. This applies whether in ducting, cable trays or attached via independant cable hangers from the above concrete. In Aus at least, hanging cables from the ceiling suspension rods is not allowed nor running across the top of ceiling tiles. Can remember rats and mice being such a problem yonks ago down in the grain growing areas where the only protection was to clip cabling on the underside of rafters. Won't affect your extra low voltage I'd imagine as one normally can do what they like there. Although some of the low voltage so-called "transformers" have a maximum length of output cabling of some 2 metres..........yep, can ask me how I know. Data comes under similar "bunching" limitations as does running parallel (for certain distances) to high curent cabling 220v and 415v ok on the same trays.........low voltage definetely separate except if using 600v(if I remember correctly) insulated and sheathed insulation, as well as data separate again.

Already there.......

Always was, nothing changed there. Remember back in 2010 returning to Aus going in to shop to buy small bottle of water (not for me mind you, tap water suits me just fine) $3.50 compared with 6 baht in Thailand just the day before. At the time exchange was around 30 baht to the dollar. Was really tempted to turn around and get a flight back to Thailand, except there was a re-entry time delay. Bloke on youtube a couple of days ago showed a service on his 12 month old car in Thailand @ around $70..........just had a quote from the dealers here in Aus for same same, $300 thank you very much. Australia has gone to the dogs......... I think the problems all started with the mining "boom" where people were earning no worries $3000.00 a week. Now the train has come into the station and there is going to be a LOT of fallout. The 1/2% interest rise is only the beginning. (most expected 1/4% ...not me) Wait until the yuppies have to start paying 17% like we did back in the 90's. End of 400sq metre houses for first home buyers with everything that opens and shuts I bet for starters

Looks like "spare cores" ...... ????????

Hehehehe...yeah, high tide....but to be fair, that's not the "old" ones I meant. (black bakolite mothers) where they always loose the bottoom connections cover.....

So the "clear as a bell explanation" below does not apply now .................. ????? Unbelievable... Best we can hope for is they p****s it off before November 2022.

Not to mention the expected life span of a "smart meter" installed on a pole outside exposed to the weather. The old Warburton Frankie style inductive disc mechanical meters have stood up remarkably well but don't think anywhere near the same for smart meters jammed pack full of micro electronics. Not all solar inverter systems will support "grid down" operation however there are add ons that will, all-be-it at an added cost. When it all boils down, one must consider the dust to dust component as ones "cheaper energy" may end up costing you an arm and a leg extra just for the novelty or "yeah I have a whatsit system" factor. Just as an example, here in Aus with the government subsidies on installation ( more than 50% overall) my system (5kw) has paid for itself (my outlay) in 4 years. That plus I used hot water storage system as an energy tank which works well, rather than expensive batteries.

2.4gig is the operating frequency of the microwave itself.

This makes perfect sense, able to follow logic no worries...thankyou.....???????? This is just plain confusing.........????????

For the most part in Thailand the systems are cool only BUT.... There are reverse cycle system that heat and they do so in a fairly efficient manner.

There will definitely be someone local who will gladly do it for a small price.

Don't see why anyone would bother doing this. Sell up and buy local.

Probaby driving from the left side seat.......... ????

Simply use control relays to cut off power under heavy load conditions and let these "greenies" really see if they mean what they say and start walking to work. ????

Last visit 2019 we had a local plumber come around and fit some country gutter, gal, and very well done. Rolled up with all his gear and an apprentice and laid out everything on the street outside, including his gas cooker to heat the (seemingly 2 kg) soldering iron. Asked him about alternatives, plastic etc. and his reaction was, rubbish and junk. Had that opinion myself really. He pointed to several installs around the neighbourhood he had done over 15 years ago and still going strong. Good enough reference for me.

So if I bring my iPhone in, I am over...?? Is there some way to show these items are coming in and would leave with you and hense avoid any misunderstanding?

So what does that mean, evidence it was bought in ones home country..??? Don't see what difference that would make.

There are insurance companies listed in the Thailand Pass information ( 3 companies I believe) One at least (the most expensive naturally) I believe offers other insurance cover with their Covid cover. https://direct.axa.co.th/TA-Inbound/CoverageOptionPlan/Agent/9F89526D81

Advice I use is the one I downloaded (somewhere here I think) Keep it on the wall in plain sight. Works for me, after all, it's Thai's country, if you don't like it then nick off. "When it comes to dealing with officialdom here, whomever you are dealing with, determines what the requirements are at that time. It may be different tomorrow, or it may be different today if dealing with a different official. At least, after we have lived here a while, we figure out how things work and we are not taken by surprise when the rules change."

One can get a 4/8channel wired system for maybe $200 able to add 1gig HDD for approx 1 month worth of data.. Everything needed is in the kit. Network cable plugs into the router for landline phone /simple to configure, watch from anywhere in the world. Popped an 8 channel one in the house up in Chum Phae back in 2019....works great. Can see the kids from here in Aus, playing games instead of doing homework, give them a ring....first thing we see is a quick glance at the cameras..... DOH!!!! forgot about those things again.????????

How far from any mains supply..?? These days there is a type of conductive white "plastic tape" used for electric fences. Only one run required and if memory serves correct, probaby good for 20 klms or more. Obviously the need to insulate every support which could be a PIA/more cost but, how far is the deciding factor i guess. Battery and solar panel would be my choice but need to secure the battery and associated gear as it might not stay in place for very long.

Geeeeessss...!!! Had a bloke here who constantly bent the u/c on his ultralight......... he was pumping tyres the same pressure because..."that was the maximum written on the tyre". ????????????

Hehehehe......Yesss, same in Aus when it first came in only slightly different height. These were 2.4 metre snatch-straps required for 2.4 metres and above.
