well Im sorted ,, I have closed 2 of my 3 Thai bank accounts ,, sold one of my 2 homes here and repatriated the money to my EU bank , I already only plan to stay in Thailand max 150 days during winter months so not resident and can easy get Non O multi entry visa for that purpose in EU without keeping large sums ties up in Thai Bank so only need funds for stay but still have all the benefits , also only spending 150 days in UK the rest in EU on and EU passport , with most of my saving and investments in a low tax EU country with no inheritance tax and my house in UK is below IHT threshold for my kids , so managing to minimise exposure legally to very little tax anywhere , while still able to enjoy motorcycling in LOS and Europe UK in Summer . At least until I get to old for long range travel and health issues , then it will be EU all the way until I pop my clogs.

The best blow sold in UK in 70s was Afghan black squidgy , followed by soft red Leb (lebanon) and then the solid Rocky (morocco) all sold in pressed blocks all did the job but unfortunately with a little bit of sweet golden virginia tobacco all supplanted by genetic grass and weed which I just dont like as they are too harsh to smoke .

I was told I have Covid but then they gave me antibiotics for my bad bronchitus in Pattaya bangkok hospital ?????,,, er Covid is a virus and antibiotics dont work on Viruses. But this year has seen a spike in a very nasty brochial cough bacteriol infection world wide that is treatable with antibiotics but the reccomended dose is now 4 weeks to clear the infection ,, its usually only 10-14 days dose .BPH now admit I did not have Covid but bacteria bronchitus like many many people

I already ordered them in UK and they will be in my house there tommorow ,, my daughter could post them , but im back to UK soon and have other bikes to ride ...

Went to Misumi and SKF main depots today at Amata Industrial estate neither had the seal I need in stock in Thailand so thats a bust ,,easy to get in UK . Well after going to the major industry suppliers and every little retail bearing and seal company i can find its now clear to me that the seal I need is not available in Thailand , it can be ordered but would then cost several times UK price and 2-3 weeks to arrive , its not listed on lazada either .. I already have ordered 3 of the 8mm12mm3mm single lip seals in UK and they will be at my house there in a couple of days ,along with other spares I will bring back to Thailand , might send them here but as im returning to UK 1st week of February I will probably put the Ducati back in my workshop and just ride the Z900 every time I come back to LOS my suitcase is half full of unobtainable in Thailand spares for Ducatis ,KTM and bits for mates that in Thailand are 3 times more than UK price . The Ducati dealers here keep very little in stock and have to get spares from Italy there is no central distribution point in Thailand despite them having factory here . KTM ,BMW and Triumph are same and as bits come from EU they are slow . Honda,Kawasaki are better as bits from Japan come quick if not already in Thailand ,,, dunno about Suzuki and Yamaha,,, HD have spares in Thailand and they can be got very fast from USA

Went to Misumi and SKF main depots today at Amata Industrial estate neither had the seal I need in stock in Thailand also checked RS Online but yet again they dont list the seal size I need so thats a bust ,,easy to get in UK . Just have to wait and be patient

yes checked at SKF rayong but they dont have small ones

Yes cant find the sizes i need 12mm OD 8MM ID 3mm wide single lip spring seal

need some specific size oil seals roller bearings and some specific size green Viton orings for a restoration I am doing ???? any ideas where to get eastern Seaboard , pattaya etc

been trying to register with Deemoney but its when inputing my address in Thailand it wont accept that My postal address is Chonburi, Sattahip , Bang Sare , all other parts of registration fine any ideas their customer service line is very poor I need to urgently send money to UK

Pattaya area must have at least 50 dope shops and I think I have looked at about 25 many sell the same crap and tested about 30 products still looking for something decent

when I buy Gummies in UK and Europe they usually get me stoned but in Thailand I have yet to find any that have a decent load of THC most are actually very weak ,,,, also packs sold in Thailand are not good value mostly 8-10 Gummies wheras in EU its usually 12 -20 and lots of THC I usually look around Pattaya, Bangsare and Rayong and have tried over 20 types . any suggestions for something decent I dont like cookies etc and i no longer smoke

I have a HJC FS10 carbon helmet its comfy very light but a bit noisy I do love it ,, I also have a HJC FS15 plastic shell its a but heavier they are good helmets ,, also have a flip front AGV its heavier but convenient a bit noisy though

I would like to thank Egelbert and P Nan from bangkok who is an expert Ducati mechanic , he came to my house in Bangsare and we got the bike sorted all running nicely , what a nice chap ,,,he had been delivering some ducatis in the area and made time to come to me with diagnostics and some spares ,,,

Thanks guys ,, upping the MCB trip and removing and changing doorbell circuit seems to have sorted the oven it stays on for more than a hour ,, girlfriend says her son turned the MCB down ???

Photos uploaded. Oven mcb outdoor Bell etc

Normal pickup might be ok if the bike is secure and covered

Had this bike for 20 years just completed a full refurbishment over 3 years bike is like new ,, but not getting and volts to coils and injectors ,, everything else is ok but without a diag I cant solve it ,, I dont know anyone at the factory to contact and its unlikely they have bits for this bike its a 2001 ,, i have lots of spares coils, ECU etc the tps and immobiliser are fine the strater and fuel pump is fine

how do I load photos here from phone

I have to move a Ducati from Sattahip to Chicane in Bangkok for computer Diagnostics ,as my Diag unit is faulty , any one know of a van or whatever that specialises in moving bikes ,

I have a multimeter,,will take some photos and upload the oven was taken to my friend house and it works fine there ,,no tripping

the system in my house has dedicated wiring and breaker just for oven with4sqmm cable all conected to MCB and then to meter with all other wiring its a standard setup for here same as previous house ,, but this problem is so odd it makes no sense . yes but he is in Bangkok im in Sattahip??? but i will ask him .

Real issue is i cant get anyone here who is able to find , solve or isololate where the problem is exactly I cant cook now without an oven whole thing is farcical # just need a competent electrician with correct tools and diagnostics

Yes definitely earth leak fault ,, but all tests indicate the OVEN itself is OK the old oven which had same fault is now in a friends house and is ok ,, the fault is baffling everyone I have had round ,,no on can isolate it ??? Without the earh the oven is unsafe as its live all over , when earthed its not live to touch but it trips out the system, Its a new oven the old one was doing the same , but is now in a friends house and is working fine ....?? all tests on Oven wiring circuits are inconclusive , I had PEA, some electricians etc
