Nests can be many metres from your home so may actually reside at your neighbouring properties.

I have read that the nest may be beneath the house also.

Apologies for not not making it clear I assumed most people living in Thailand know that voluntary Comprehensive insurance can be easily be voided maybe that's why there's the compulsory insurance scheme in Thailand which covers the vehicle & 3rd party's.

 

My original post reply was just pointing out not wearing helmet does not make vehicle insurance void in Thailand.

You can't have just Comprehensive insurance on a vehicle in Thailand without having the compulsory insurance.

 

Many people from western countries don't understand vehicle insurance in Thailand I'm just trying to be helpful..

No apologies necessary mate, thanks for clearing that up. ????

My issue with this is that I live in an Apartment and the Charger is plugged into the mains at the Car Park.

I have a CTEK 5.0, these are not cheap chargers.

I would be more concerned about the charger being stolen.

Also in Thailand not wearing a safety helmet does not make the insurance null and void, same as not having a DL.

Can anyone confirm that this statement is true?

If you were here long enough you could confirm it yourself.

I'm referring to CTPL but some people try to dodge that that's why police check the date on road tax stickers because you cannot get it without renewing CTPL insurance. 

Ok, you’re talking about CTP, not Comprehensive insurance.

You should have been clear to start with as driving on Thai roads and breaking the law your Comprehensive insurance can be void.

That's great news. 

About bloody time. And put the revenue back into the infrastructure, 

This should have a positive effect on the road toll, all these wasted Thai lives lost due to the not wearing of helmets. 

the extra size will be noted on the chanoote, in your favour as a resale.

I feel you should be more concerned over the Taxes, can you reply with what they are asking?

whats your plan?

I am quite surprised at how many foreigners are living in houses, in Thailand, without Window Bars.

And more surprised at how many justify this behaviour with house fires.

At the end of the day living here in Thailand, you have more chance of your house flooding than being burnt to the ground due to a house fire.

In Thailand we don’t have floor carpet, the walls are brick/concrete and yes there is the sofa and other items that can burn, generally not big fires as we know as there is very little to burn.

Why don’t all you “anti-window bar” people invest a few hundred baht and buy some smoke sensors as I have done? Yes they get annoying at times when the battery runs low but they can save your life.

Please, do not use house fires as an excuse not to have window bars.

Good luck with your plan, living without window bars in Thailand.

 

Even the Thais with guns in their houses have window bars.

31 years,with no bars, no problem, they can come in take what they

want,no problem, if there's a fire and i could not get because i have

bars installed,that would be a problem ,as i would be dead,I value

my life and my families much more than any property i have,which

can be replaced, but you cannot buy a new life.

 

So what is so valuable that you have to have bars on the windows to protect?

i suspect a couple of good kicks on your front or back door they would be in anyway.

regards worgeordie

Ok point taken, I admire your positive thinking and how long you have lived here without bars, maybe you're one of the bad guys and the other baddies steer clear of you. LOL

I wish no harm on anyone and I hope you can live free of bars for the next 31 years.

I feel more comfortable having window bars.

If the sofa burns and the toxic fumes kill you, you're not leaving the house through the Bar Less windows.

 

If a fire starts from a sofa and i wake I'm going to run straight past it and out the front door.

 

 

OK good luck with plan A

Have you ever seen a sofa burn, maybe the flames might not

kill you but the toxic smoke will,you must live in a very bare house,no furniture ?

a lot of wood in the roof space

yeh, got to be careful roof space, lucky I don't have bars up there.

BTW, the termites have eaten all the wood and anything else that isn't concrete.

Do you have a plan to get out when there is a fire,?

I don't have bars for that reason,would rather lose

some property,than be burnt to a crisp because

I could not get out because of bars on the windows,

property can be replaced,you only get one life.

Who lives in a house in Thailand without window bar.

 

I live in a secure housing estate, I have window bars.

 

I do for one - apart from them looking terrible they are also very dangerous should one have a fire.

Luckily the Mood Baan we live is safe unlike many others in and around Udon

Point taken regarding fires and cosmetics.

Fires aren't as common here as much of the house is concrete and brick - not a lot to burn.

Oh! Another expert on the subject.. 

I may not be an expert, but I do have common sense.

I suppose you would have travelled being in his situation....that tells me a lot.

Lessons Learnt.

 

Forget his compensation, what about all the others that put money, time and effort into this project because of his stupidity.

 

He checked with authorities three, I repeat, three times before he travelled, and the authorities assured him it was okay.

 

On another note, you must be fun at parties.
