Ancient boat unearthed near Krabi’s Khlong Thom District

No. Titanic is nowhere near 1800 years old. -
Air purifiers don't need to run 24/7. If you get Xiaomi (I have these so I'm confident, but I would bet some others have the same), they are Wifi connected and controlled from mobile phone. On the phone, you can select schedule, and if you take whole home automation set, with air quality sensors, you can make even a lot more detailed automation of when to run, like when you're on the way home, turn it on 30 minutes before you arrive, etc. I have one air purifier in each room. Set the bedroom ones to work overnight, and living/working room ones to work over the daytime but turn off at night. That can be easily overridden if pollution outside is really bad and a single air purifier can't handle it by simply turning others on by app or touch button on the box. I prefer Xiaomi not only because they are cheap, but because they have air quality sensors and display with current information, can be controlled from phone, and have easily obtainable filter cartridges which cost about 800-900 baht each and last (in my case) about 9 months with schedule enabled, or about 6 months if running 24/7. One word of caution with XIaomi - they have global and China versions. They use different cloud locations. So if you have China version, all is in Chinese and App has to be set to mainland China. I have all items Global versions, so I can control them all from same app. You'd need 2 phones if you had a mix. Chinese versions are usually a little cheaper than Global version.

At my condo they would cut off the water if any fees (water or maintenance) are over 6 months overdue and charge a fee to reconnect them. I see warnings in lifts and condo app all the time so I am sure there are people who are overdue. Some tenants also caught in that - asking about why there is no water and then finding out unit owners didn't pay bills for many months. Hence I know they actually do follow through on threats. Electricity is, however, paid directly to MEA and as such condo management has nothing to do with it, nor can they touch it.

Condo Yellow Book.
tomazbodner replied to Gee Bangkok's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Sure, if it's your condo, you should. You just can not be entered into the blue book, but it still belongs to owner of condo. -
Condo Yellow Book.

She's Thai so her name could only be in blue book. If you don't have PR/are Thai national, your name can only be in yellow book. -
Do women hit on you randomly in Thailand?
tomazbodner replied to uttradit's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Strange headache, all belongings gone and credit cards maxed out? -
I need to talk to True. Not like I ever watch TV but have Platinum TrueVisions and 1Gbps/1Gbps upgraded to 2.5/2.5 Gbps (that's charged separately) but my internet and TV come to about 3500 THB/month. Admittedly I was too lazy to go to their shop when they cancelled pretty much anything I was watching, but I think it might be time, given I'm paying 4x more for the same thing!

Bangkok administration lacks funding to build three mass transit lines
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Quite a good site with most information on the train lines: https://futuresoutheastasia.com/bangkok-mass-rapid-transit-system/ And a map to visualise (sort of) what they are talking about in OP: -
And where was the excellent device you typed that comment on manufactured? And most of parts for it?

Balcony collapses at Chiang Mai resort injuring 13
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
You're thinking like their lawyer. If people didn't stand on the balcony, it would not collapse. So it's fault of people who went to stand on it!
