Single width RCBO's have been around for donkey's ages......... I'd say at least 15 years.

Just be warned that any insulation with aluminium or foil covering installed on ceiling is considered extremely dangerous. It was used on the ceiling in Aus in the "crazy polly period" where everybody jack and his mates were issued with "insulation installation licences" in an attempt to carry out the insulation era while the pollies were still in office. Turns out ( surprise .........surprise) that it is conductive and a couple of people including one apprentice were electrocuted working in the ceiling space after the install. Now some will say....what about safety switches............ well, they don't save you if incoming mains are exposed or become faulty.....and as it turns out, diluties know no better. End result was, any used had to be removed and now it is a mandatory requirement that all power be cut at the main switch before entering a ceiling by any tradesperson. Sadly though, the D*** heads who make these rules failed to recognise that incoming mains cannot be isolated, at least by "any tradesperson". Then there are the situations such as hospitals but that's another story.

Makes one wonder why.....surely they have their own supply back home.

Insulation associated with the fitting internal components, any wiring attached, all contribute to the need to keep ceiling insulation at a distance whether flammable or not. Also consider the de-rating factor applied to any and all ceiling cabling while using on the ceiling insulation. In my opinion, any ceiling insulation should be up top, just under the roof battons, to keep as much heat out as possible. Anywhere else is simply "an oven" keeping any hot air inside.

Home state pricing or local suppliers here in Thailand? It's still a mistake going 4 circuits to an elcb rather than single RCBO's regardless, for the reason I mentioned. Wait until the day comes when you have to find a defect, and it will. As I also mentioned, space is also a concern. Might pay to mention that any work performed here by falang is under scrutiny so I'd make sure to have appropriate work permit. Also be prepared to fork out if you decide to "bring stuff in" and get noticed, which could possibly be even after the fact. In short, don't be a smart arse, they(authorities) don't like it one bit.

Don't let that bother you, that bloke is just a dilutie as well with a (sometimes) good internet connection.

Do you have a photo of the nameplate on the charger? It will show whether a 2 or 3 pin plug will suffice. Look for a "double insulated" symbol which I suspect it will be. Any other comments are irrelevant until one knows this info.

It's a mistake to run (as in your case) 4 circuits from each of the rcd's. Any one of which will trip the rcd and render 4 circuits inoperable. Single combo's are available here, and I'd argue very little, if any, difference in cost with the added obvious advantage when tripped but also in board space.

About time too..........tourists take too many liberties with others traditions etc. Most of the time from pure ignorance and don't give a toss attitude.

About time the authorities start doing checks on these commercial vehicles for "faulty brakes". It's a wonder some local hasn't picked up on it and opened a business to fix these machines. They would do a roaring trade given the number of reported incidents with this fault.

I clicked the link and apart from the photo of some kind of transport ( just guessing) I too am none the wiser. There was reference to some underground transport though .... You get to and from the new terminal from the main building via a driverless underground shuttle which runs to and from the main terminal almost continuously.

Draw a diagram of your intended connections /breakers/main switch/ links etc. Following ones description can be misleading. (1 example) ....Main neutral should not be switched and yes, there should be a neutral link bar as well as an earth link bar. The MEN link is then, just that, a link between the two.

According to the "full story" on the link, the driver poked the bus in there on purpose after the brakes failed and to avoid any further mishap further down the road. Looks like it's on top of a hill so could be correct in this instance. Possible near the blue Pattaya Tai Pier sign on the way in.

Looks like someone has tapped in on the pole supply with twist and tape, the latter not being sufficient to stop the joint shorting out on the "half re-fitted" cover. Would be about "lean on the post" height.

I don't see why that would be. An RCBO can be fitted to any existing circuit.

He has a surprise in store if he thinks he can instruct Thai's on how to cook or run a restaurant. Might work in the UK or US but here, don't think it will last if it ever gets off the ground. 1st obstacle would be his methods are too expensive here. Next would have to be all the "F" this and "F" that would go down like a lead balloon.

Still , you're going to find it harder and harder to get the thing charged, at a resonable fee and rate at least.

Never ceases to amaze me how many think that boiling water is the be-all-end-all to sparkling clean water. There are many contaminates which will remain after boiling. I don't drink the tap water there and even use bottle water to clean my teeth. There is a "water treatment" cabinet on the footpath outside our house but I don't use that either. Just another case of cheap charlie popping their head up again.

Just learn to shut your gob and accept the fact you are a visitor in their country and it pays (heaps) to simply abide by their directions. Whether you live there for years on end or you now make gazilions of dollars makes no difference to the outcome. Well, unless you insist on telling them you make gazillions, in which case your "fee" might go up accordingly. #if all else fails, go back to line 1. ????

More likely you'll get cleaned up by a truck and need both an ambulance and a tow truck......... I'd say forget the "spares" ..........crap idea.

Possibly both...as both consume extra fuel. However, as above, waiting to do this at the boarding gate will only delay flights if seating adjustment is needed.

Good idea to remove any "guessing" or "averaging" associated with aircraft trim. There have been disasterous results (crashes) in the past when they get this wrong. Thing is, I would have thought at check-in, not at boarding gate. Not much time before takeoff to get that information to the flight engineer or for any practical trim adjustment. If my suspicions are correct though, I can foresee an extra charge for any "overweight" rather than any trim adjustments. It's simply the way governments work. When they promise cheaper electricity or fuel, there's always a catch 22.

Nope....whomever wrote that needs educating.........it's your entitlement after you clear all the application hurdles. https://www.australiansuper.com/retirement/retirement-articles/2022/02/age-pension-eligibility-and-retirement-age

Been waiting for Thai Air to resumes their Brisbane to Bkk direct flights which used to operate before Covid. Asked them about it but just drew a blank. Reason being we have to now travel to Sydney before getting our direct flight and not only the inconvienience of the extra travel time, but also the extra cost. Including an overnight stay somewhere close to the airport in Sydney is around an extra $1500.00 for my wife and me. Heard about the debarcle ( more yet to come too I think) about the Aus gov refusal to allow extra flights into Aus by Qatar Airlines.(competition for Qantas) Had to laugh when some wanker polly suggested Qatar use "larger aircraft"....... yeah, can imagine the greenies jumping on the "pollution train" there. Wondered if maybe Thai Airways faced the same opposition from the Aus government.

Reason is, if wired as the Op suggests, (bad idea) any trip limits power outage to just those circuits. Many (most if not all new installs/or modifications) these days are separate RCBO on each and every circuit. They're cheap enough......... As for the different brands....you get what you pay for.????
