  1. I remember driving round Bangkok with a mate looking for a replacement gearbox for his old Beemer. There are these huge secondhand engine, diff., gearbox yards. All close together, but I can't remember in which outer suburb they are in. I'm fairly sure they would know where someone is located.
  2. Talking about 'Testicle'. While commissioning a new installation had large PA system and a rather young naive switchboard operator. Every now and then one of the guys would ring up and page someone. Over the PA system you would hear: "Tess Ticle telephone please." Or 'Ivan Acher telephone please. Can't remember the rest. We thought it funny at the time.
  3. If you have a TV cable TV aerial connector, on the back of the TV, then select the TV input and you should see Snow and hear noise if the main parts of your TV is working. (Doesn't test the circuit board where the HDMI part comes in, but tests the rest).
  4. There seems to be a new law (not too sure how new), but Landlord can only charge a 1 month deposit.
  5. Maybe the Franklin controller doesn't have a 'run dry' facility. You can buy these controllers in Thailand and from China. I suppose it can also depend on what aquifer you are on and how deep is your pump in the well and diameter of the well. The way everyone is putting down solar powered bores everywhere and leaving them on 24/7 probably, you'de have to be careful running the pump continuously incase there is not enough water to keep recharging the well.
  6. I'd say no licence, no insurance. Would be a brave insurance company to start a HiSo precedent. I remember when you could get an International Driving Permit in Thailand that wasn't real, but the Police let it go. Trouble was (so my insurance guy said) if you have a accident then you're not licenced and therefore no insurance. Same as learning-to-drive. My wife started at a driving school. Then I switched her to our car as that was the one she'd be driving. My insurance guy said your wife and car not covered as she has no licence, better get a licence first then learn to drive. So she got her licence, then learnt to drive. Love Thailand ????
  7. Yes, used to be. Long ago on a Phuket trip, I rented a Jeep thinggy with no roof. Lovely day so we were driving around with our shirts off. Angry police stopped us and we were told to put our shirts on. ????
  8. I have these green cones and small spounges, but not sure exactly how to use them to propergate seeds. I think you would put the spounge in the cone, add some water and one/some seeds. Then when the plants grow a bit, transplant them to the clay beads beds. Do you also add some food, if so what? Before I've just broadcast the seeds in the hydro beds. Anyone (who's done it before) clue me in? Thanks
  9. Anyway, I thought a (few) phone calls may do it. They are short of staff. All approved. QUESTION: 'You certainly did someting wrong. TM47-46-************** was created by the TM47 people and submitted. ???? What is this all about?' ANSWER: That's what happened. First time for me having this happen. "But we know: it is never your own mistake, it is alwys another one .... " Yes, it was their mistake. ????
  10. Just getting ready now for the 180 km round trip. That's the way it is. Great their newest, newer, new on-line system is working so well.
  11. Thanks, it was due on the 5th November 2022 and they previously sent me an email that I could now do my report, so I did it on the 25th October.
  12. I had forgotten about this. I submitted my 90 day report on the 25th October 2022 by internet and a computer generated form reference: TM47-46-************** was created by the TM47 people and submitted. I just checked today and the application is 'pending'. Never had a problem before, but I presume something is wrong as still 'pending'. What to do?
  13. Now I'm not sure I have this 100% correct. Australian Swinburne University partnered with a Thai company establishing a Laem Chabang School of Engineering. After 6 to 8 years the Aussie mob pulled out, leaving just the Thai partner and eventually everything closed. The Farang staff were not paid out their full entitlement.
  14. What do you'all have against Pattaya? Asking for a friend. ????
  15. Thanks @In the jungleI took off the base and played with the switch, all good now. About B300 for cost of unit when i looked. B5000 No way. But....worked well.
  16. Yes I have looked. I'm looking for a recommendation. Which ones.
  17. I need a 12V battery charger for my deisel genset. Mainly to float charge the diesel battery. I had a great one, a CTEK MXS 5.0. Worked really well till it failed. Looking at a replacement price of around B5000 for the same unit, I was thinking of asking here if anyone can recommend a good unit at a lesser price. If not then I'll buy another CTEK MXS 5.0.
  18. He looks evil. Exactly what or with what does he weild to be famouse for?
  19. Yes, yes glad you didn't give up on me. ???? I must apologise as I was wrong and you are correct. Sorry for that. Bit embarrasing as I'm never wrong. (well that's a load of <deleted>). ????
  20. Used to be.......not sure now .....TukCom ...go 1 floor down and there is a magical shop on the RHS that sells bearings, etc for all sorts of things. There are also some suppliers on Lazada and Shopee that sell blender bits and pieces. ????
  21. Sorry....previous post was not there while I was dithering. ????
