Or a first time Phuket visit. ????

I think I know the problem. Old screens tend to burn the colour screens pixels and burn an image into the screen. Years ago I worked at a TV station and all the monitors had the Test Pattern burnt into the screen. So, today I went to have my wheel alignment checked and their old screen was grey where all the same car wheel alignment images had been displayed. So I think that's the problem. It will just keep slowely getting worse. If you're only intrested in black and white fonts, then turn the brightness right up, the font size up and the contrast down.

No. They were critcised by the tester and encouraged by other people in the line. Was a simple test, tester pointed to Red, Amber or Green and you had to say the colour. Maybe they were shy, tester pointing to Red and the person saying Green. So many of them, hard to understand.

I was sure when I saw this construction marvel that they were going to lay another concrete road base to bring the road up to the drains level. Not a strange idea when you have witnessed Pattaya's contemperory Engineering works over the last 30 years. Thinking like a Pattaya Engineer I would just plant trees in these drain spots and widen the footpaths so cars could drive there.

Wow, that's a long way. I stayed at the KC Grande last visit, we loved it. Hope to get back there next year.

The one to Ko Chang...where they collect the money give the ticket and you hand it back along abit. Only been there 3 times.

Went to renew my 5 year licence and half of the 15 people with me got the red, amber and green colours wrong.

Zyxel, better clean up your act.

Good on them, great to provide more links to the two countries.

Yes first class insurance just call the insurance company and their rep. handles it.

Let us know what your decent build is please. ????

I found it pretty good myself.

Thanks @SomchaiDIY I hope the moderator doesn't mind me saying this but you are a welcomed addittion to this brilliant forum. Not detracting from the other posters (except the guy redoing his condo who rubbished posters). ????

Got it all sorted?

KhaoYai said: 'I was a little confused as to why you needed a heater in Thailand.' Gets cold in Isaan near Lao. Gets down to 4 to 6 degrees C. So the other heater was a water heater but this one in the picture is the house gas log fire. Sit around in your undies, drinking red, watching the flames flicker. ????

The 3 phase multi-point heaters are great. Fairly instantanious full flow hot water, but I wouldn't install them again. Before I built the house we had a 3 phase supply close by from a de-commissioned rice mill, so we just asked PEA if we could move the meter and use it. Very difficult then to get a real electrician that knew about 3 phase installations. We eventually got someone who installs power in factories and he was the one that said to install the 3 phase heaters.

I think this is a direct quote from the information sheets from the company.

Reply from the company in Germany. 'You cannot connect RCBO for Steibel eltron 3 phase water heater. As they require wiring of 3 phase + Earth. RCBO will not operate since there is no Neutral connection. Would Suggest connect TP MCB for protection. Ideally we suggest individual MCB's to be fitted in the Main DB box for respective equipment and an Isolator switch be installed for maintenance inline near to the equipment.'

Chinese aren't Farangs, they are Khun Jeen. Have you ever looked at one? Something wrong with your eyes if their features look anything like a Stale White Person. ????

Pattaya's full of Dirty Old Men .....so they say.

They all are.

Thank you for this detailed response and the unit sounds safe. I got a quick phone call response from Thailand but no response from Germany. Maybe some of us Falangs get a bit carried away with safety, but it is hammered into us when we did our tech training. When I started on my 5 year Telecommunications traineeship in 1963, some trainees were cutting their hand, so eventually they banned the use of knifes. Also later on a couple of trainees were electrocuted working on live switchboards, so they banned us working on power. And so it goes. ????

That's what I thought. I know it happens, but It's pretty disturbing when the company technical division gives very bad advice. Makes you wonder if any water heaters of this brand have RCBO protection. If you can just bear with me a little longer. ???? The 3 phase water heater is earthed, about 3 m away from the shower, connected by PVC pipes to the metal shower taps, set in bricks and mortar, not physically tied back to the earth system. The water is very pure (lots of filtering). I have an MEM system. Just say one element developed a short to ground. How's them there deadly electrons going to get to me, enough to ruin my shower? (Go easy, it's Friday).

I just had a phone call from Steibel Thailand. Previously I'd made enquiries about installing an RCBO on the 3 phase water heaters. They ensured me that if the heater has a ground wire, it doesn't need an RCBO. I asked them to check again with the technical department and they said 100% sure. So does the water heater need an RCBO?

Log fire at the ready.
