  1. In all probability a serviceman would look at the compressor outside to ensure the fan is clear but where most performance is lost are the condensors that get all gunky inside that need cleaning every 6 months under normal domestic use. Commercial heavy use can pay dividends to clean condensors every 3 months. (I am assuming no need for regassing which with a good brand & correct installation should not need doing for 5 years
  2. All I know is that if you do not use the ATM the birds get angry
  3. Rutnin are now more expensive than Bangkok Hospital
  4. With luck gone for good. Ask the tailor who had to get his maids to clean <deleted> & urine off his steps every morning. Used to walk down to Trendy, the urea stench was overpowering. No toilets no bar allaoed
  5. Good old SRT. Most badly run Government Dept in Thailand. High speed train to Hua Hin should have been operating at least 15 years ago
  6. He must be in the early stages if last month he did not know. A good private hospital could get him back well enough to travel if that is his wish, I am sure, although his age is about the end of the line age. I wish him well but to travel if he knew about without the financials available was a recipe for a good burning with 4 monks
  7. Not wanting to fly Thai & no landing slots for flying himself ? Bit of a snub though
  8. I was requested to get 12 monthly statements as I had not updated the passbook every month
  9. Light on fuel, no passengers, no problem, up & over to Suvarnabhumi. Don Muang was not used for bombers, they went to Utapau
  10. I have similar, check that you do not have Aortic Valve Stenosis. This tires you quickly & shortness of breath
  11. How was he to know it was a "pet". It was out on the street being a nuisance, bad aim I say. I love dogs but having twice had to fight off packs, I wishfully think a cull is in order
  12. Sounds like some fine upstanding locals (farang orThai) should have reported this "habitual drunk driver long ago. I would have had he been in my neighburhood
  13. So how do the "Bosses of an area" get their millions back that they have to pay for the position ??
  14. As stated the law is a good one, in theory. In reality another revenue source for Mr Plod. In Indonesia & Malaysia no person is now allowed to ride in the rear of a pickup. Love to see Thailand's response to this one over Songkran
  15. Having worked in the insulation industry for 30 years in Thailand, I can just tell you that these places are just disasters waiting to happen. Due to libel laws here I need to be careful what I say, but it is known known fact that the petrochemical product in question is very flammable which is why 40% by volume fire retardant is added making it non flammable at point of sale if the correct amount has been added. It is also the most expensive so often "corners are skipped." This product is not designed to be installed whenever left exposed to moving air. It was originally intended for sandwhich walls for coolrooms/freezers where it works very well. Over time when exposed the fire retardant sublimates leaving a highly flammable product in situ. When burning it also emits very toxic chemical smoke, which when inhaled literally stops you breathing (Tiger Bar Patong, 2 customers drinking not 3 metres from the exit did not make it) New Years Eve nightclub fire in Thonglorfor example saw over 20 unlucky patrons with not even a burn mark, just smoke inhalation poisoning. Similar product involved in the terrible apartment fire just out out of London (Granville ? If I have told the upper echalon involved in approving this material once, I have told them 100 times. Vested interests take preference to life obviously. In closing may I say that I know of many places where this threat to human life exists including a very large shopping centre with over 6,000 M2 of this highly flammable product lurking for a fateful day, & how do I know ? , I tore a very small piece off the wall & lit it in the carpark to convince the consultants. Even although they saw black smoke emitted & coughed for hours to the best of my knowledge it is still there Due to the renovations that have been done to this shopping centre there would be no escape for most folks
