  1. As you come down the stairs after security it is in the corner of the room next to the glazed wall. Give yourself a bit of time to walk between the 2 desks, 1 has school kids checking docs and the main one has the immigration officer who gets the glory of placing the stamp in your PP. SHAEMUS
  2. this can be a bit hit and miss as the technical points are pretty complex, but basically if your provider supports it and also support the exact model/firmware type handset that you have then you should be ok, its easy and free to try. pull down the main menu from the top of the screen. click on the plane mode logo, this will turn off your mobile connectivity and also wifi. when you see the plane icon on the top of the screen where the battery % is normally located, press wifi, your phone will connect via wifi to the network. get someto call you when in this mode and see if it works. there is also other areas that you can try to turn on the VOwifi, but it changes dramatically from model to model and also from Android version . so i suggest if the above steps dont work to find the exact model number of your handset and the version and firmware version and google those along with Vowifi or wifi calling. or you may have a shortcut button already loaded on your settings screen that you pulled down in the steps above. if you get stuck, then just reply with your model Number, android version and firmware version an i will find some info for you. but depending on where you bought your phone may possibly influence the carriers decision to enable you to be able to use their network via wifi. The reason for this is they want to sell the phones that they have customised the software for their own network, for example i have a One plus nord, Telstra in Australia dont support the VoWifi even though the software on the phone does Shaemus
  3. try copper grease. its probably cheaper to get a few new sockets than buy it though.. Shaemus
  4. its seems like a dead link. As it has Demo in the title i assume its a work in progress, i got to the register screen but nothing is registering and there is latin text used in the address area as a dummy data. I am stumped as i found this incredibly usefull as my local kubota are somewhat helpfull but lazy, and its easier for me just to walk in with a list of part numbers rather than take hours attemting to explain what i want. thanks for the Link, lets hope it goes live soon., i did post on the FB page of siamkubota but they deleted my post. Shaemus
  5. Does anyone have a link for Kpad access it the online parts directory for Kubota machines i cant seem to find it on the Website and the Link i have wants me to Log in which i cant remember my username password etc TIA Shaemus
  6. my MIL bought a rice mil recently. i recon it was the cheapest in the shop as they dont sell it any more, its somewhat well made but as with alot of local made items here it lacks finesse. here is what is have learnt from having to fix the machine. Its is very likely the machine will not be earthed, you should do this. look for the ability to adjust the motor position so the belt/pully system can be aligned and made true look for a machine with belt tensioners that isn't provided by just the motor position what spares are available now, and can you get them with the machine upon collection does it have a contactor type switch arrangment does it have a type D circuit breaker installed of have they used C which is not for motors can you take a bag of your own rice and mill it in the shop so they can show you how it works properly just a few tips shameus
  7. The threads used in Thailand are predominantly BSSP with some male items being BSST. Quite acceptable to use tapered into parallel. I use a combination of ptfe tape and thread sealant paste for my outdoor / pump thread. I was chatting to some pipe fitters at work and that is what was in the spec for their work (bhp) so I decided to copy it. Shaemus
  8. Buy a 4 pole ip66 enclosure. They have a din rail already installed inside and a see through door that enables you to fiddle with the settings onnyour timer Eg https://s.lazada.co.th/s.UTK0r
  9. I am looking to buy drainage channel like this. Has anyone ever seen any? Its for outdoor use on a drive way as an example Thanks Shaemus
  10. Hi mate, Just a few things to consider from an electrician: The active / live & neutral is transposed between the uk style and the universal type pictured, sonyou would be switching the neutral only if you used a uk type convention. Also the usb outlets have habbit of breaking and outputting far more voltage than you or your device are looking for plus they generally are not (smart) so QC3 or 4 ans may be very slow at charging devices. I personally would not have any in my house unless a very reliable brand Food for thought Shaemus
  11. A good electrical system has low resistance, normally obtained by good installation practices, the primary method is not to put too many joints in or keep to a minimum. Solder certainly has its uses but it use should be kept to the absolute minimum. If you search "terminal on lazada a wide variety is shown as available. Shaemus
  12. Its cheaper, to buy. It doesn't even come on a cable drum so not easy to use. It only because labour is cheap that is tolerated by industry. Its termed "singles" in the UK and building wire in the uk. In both of those places it is not cheaper to install as it is not double insulated and CANNOT be installed surface direct or just floating above ceilings. Its for electrical safety of which there isn't a great deal of reguard for here in the LOS. Its seemingly accepted as the norm here as there isn't any looking who cares nor can do anything about it and it may well be perfectly to the standards here but as always in any industry the national standards are the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM methods you can use. Shaemus
  13. It might be an idea to go to your local large diy store and spend a few hours literally looking at the materials that are available of the shelf, and whilst you are there in situ. Google the name of the equipment eg. Imc / emt metal conduit and search for images. This will give you a decent idea of how the equipment is installed. The emt metal conduit system is much cheaper to install, lighter, and obviously quicker, apposed to imc which requires higher level of skills and the requirement to have each piece of conduit threaded. The above is just and example another would be the size and depth of the back boxes in the walls for the switches / sockets etc. The standard format here is 4" x 2" box. There are different depths of box and also 4" x 4" for a 6 gang plate or 2 rows of three switchs one ontop of another. Your house plans ideally will have the switching layout on so you can work out the box requirements from that. Whilst we are on the subject of switches also consider this. Are you cabling for smart switches? I personally always take the neutral to the switch, which in the UK is called 3 plating. So you have a feed in Live Neutral & earth. Through the switches (live only) and back out to the lights. It makes the requirement for deeper boxes or set back more into the brickwork but makes testing much easier as it does to second fix ( install accessories) as you are not on a ladder stripping multiple cables. Just one T&E or L, N, E. Just a thoughts Shaemus
  14. Thanks again, I went to Dohome yesterday and found the silver cement by Crocodile I was a bit startled by the Price. 300Bht. Luckily there was a very helpful sales assistant who showed me the TPI product which is also suitable for tile on tile which was less than half the price of the forementioned brand. More of an FYI for other readers than reply @Yellowtail. Thanks again for your help.
