I had my systems installed a few years ago and prices have changed a lot. Huawei battery costs up 150+% etc. I've found the more battery you have the lower your power bill will be. I've also found huawei will only accept huawei batteries. Other systems are more flexable. Another thing to take into account is your elec usage will increase as you relax due to free solar. Huawei techs recommended higher panel input. I have 14.9kw panels feeding the 10kw inverters and 7.5kw panels feeding the 5kw system. My 10kw system is in a combined commercial/residential building with a daily usage 50kwh upwards. The battery is usually down to its minimum 20% around 2000 hrs. The 5kw system is a commercial building open 0800 - 2000 daily. Daily usage varies around 30kw.

Immigration American Man Arrested for 388-Day Overstay in Sri Sa Ket
Farma replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I think i saw him when i passed through phayu a month or so back. He stood out as he was dressed differently walking along the side of the road towards where that resort is. I thought he was some sort of pilgrim as he was dressed in white, carrying a shepherds crook and wearing a straw hat wrapped with flowers. -

Try any pharmacy. Show them a photo or written names if needed. I know Imported brands like Amlodac are available and cheaper generic strips from GPO (government pharmaceutical organisation) Show the pharmacist the name of your 2nd med. Theyll know what it is. Ubon has at least one huge wholesale medical supply warehouse not open to the public stocking everything from kids vitamin c jellies to hospital beds. The wholesaler also has a normal pharmacy next to Warin Chamrap market. Sorry, cant help with prices as i get mine for wholesale.

Cant say I've met any SAS in thailand bars but I knew 2 genuine Air America guys both deceased. One in Khon Kaen, the other in Pattaya. Also met 2 genuine ex SAS but in Saudi. One was head of the company security. The other was brought in after a terrorist attack on our compound. He briefed us on ways to be aware of surroundings and get out of trouble.

WISE want me to update details
Farma replied to DrJack54's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I wonder if this is the reason. A while back wise changed their bank account numbers. Opened a wise account a few years ago. About a year ago they said that account number was being phased out and to open a new account with them. I only updated to this new account last month after receiving a similar message. The new account is a different branch and account number. I transfer to this new wise account from my bank then send from the new wise account. It is fast and no messages. -
I recently had a similar problem. Couldn't find my original blue book. You can only get a replacement and as the dealer said expect the value of your car to drop. Private buyers are wary also. I was lucky. My broker kept saying they had returned it to me. My original blue book was eventually found at DLT and returned to me when the broker asked for a replacement.

‘Wife for hire’: Inside Thailand’s shocking rental marriage trend
Farma replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Years ago I remember meeting a few american contractors in Saudi who had rental wives. They had an official marriage to enable the wife to get a Saudi visa but a private agreement on how long this paid marriage would last. -
Help, i fancy my local pharmacist (F) !
Farma replied to Aurelien's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Having been married to one for over 2 decades and know of 2 other farangs within 60 km of me also married to pharmacists its not impossible to meet or date them. However me excluded they tend to mix with professionals their level or above. There's also lot of unmarried pharmacists either career girls or left it too late to marry. Suggest asking around if she's married or in a relationship. Adding line is a good idea. Don't expect to jump into bed the 1st date. You'll possibly find she'll bring a friend "chaperone" the first few dates. -
Expats angry at huge concessions in latest Thai visa announcements
Farma replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why do you continue to talking rubbish. As the holder on an Elite visa I can assure you a re-entry permit is not required. I leave for however long and upon return receive a 1 year entry stamp. -

From what she was saying it was money in her hand. Can only imagine her generous sponsor covered other expenses. -
Allegations of Proxy Voting in Senatorial Election Spark Inquiry
Farma replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Overheard conversation. An occasional part-time maid was all smiles. She received 500baht to apply as a candidate. Another 1,000 baht to be selected plus another 1,000 baht to vote for a preferred candidate. -
This is quite common. It takes time for the hospital to receive funding for new employees. Most hospitals will advance pay from hospital funds until the new employees funding is approved and arrives.

I had a 90 day reject a month ago. This info was given to me. This is the process on how to do the ONLINE 90-day Report or Notification (TM47). Before you actually use your mobile phone or computer to do the online reporting, there are few things you need to do first: This reporting has to be the SECOND 90-day reporting or later on your current visa or visa extension of stay. This is important. You have to report in person or by mail on your current visa or visa extension once in the past before you can do an online report. If you have not done so, please report in person or by mail this time.

Before buying a map it could be worthwhile checking if your device is region restricted. I checked with a garmin dealer. My garmin drivesmart 60 purchased in Australia is region restricted and won't accept garmin thai maps. I did find a 3rd party thai map that works as a map but street names etc are gobbledygook. It works fine with middle east and European maps. I've read in the past there's been disagreements between the Thai garmin map supplier and garmin.

I use IPVanish. Just tried williamhill. Wouldn't open their website using Firefox. Had to connect to the UK and use google to access the website. I couldn't entet the website as it says I'm using a data center and it says i cant use a data center as they need to check if I can legally gamble in my location.

Might be worth checking if this is a scam or someone's mistaken. There was a senior PEA official on the Thai news (workpoint 23 i recall) yesterday apologising for not notifying they had changed the format and colours of their bills.
