  1. Wait until after the 1 year licenses expires at least a day or two before you go to renew for the 5 year.

    As for using a Thai license in another country? Check with the country in question and their motor vehicle laws as to whether they accept a Thai license to allow driving in their country.

    An example in the US is the Thai license is acceptable as a driving license in most states and no need for a International driving permit as the new Thai license is printed in English.

    If you don't already understand the IDP is just a way for the police in any given country to read a statement that the driving license held by a person actually is licensed to drive in their home country. You cannot get a IDP without first being a licensed driver in the country where you apply for it. The IDP in and of itself is not an actual driver's license.

  2. Sorry for your loss------and that's what it is a loss------------you have learned a lesson and I'm betting this is not the first hard lesson you've learned. As has been said here many times invest only what you can loose and not miss. If for some strange reason she comes around again and asks for more don't be a real big fool and give her more. These girls have a way of giving you some sob story and look and then we cave in.

  3. Out and about today and had some shopping to do at Lotus in BC. I noticed as we drove in to the car parking area there is what I believe to be a new Pizza place open on the inner drive way strip of shop houses near Lotus. For those familiar with the place it will be on the very end of the row of shops opposite the store and carpark. The last shopfront. I did not see a name other than Pizza Place and did not stop to ask about it. Next time I am around I may stop to see what they have to offer.

  4. I can tell you from looking at it that the input is 3 wires - from the topmost (on the right in the first picture) set of wires. Then the output is 4 wires. The MEA ran the new supply (3 wires) from the nearby Soi & the dead legs pictured terminate in front of my house. This way everyone nearby has more current available - should they need it.

    I was watching discovery channel the other day. They were saying that USA homes used to be wired for 100 AMPS. But today 200 amps is minimum (@ 120 volts) & 400 amp is not uncommon at all.

    Let the experts tell us. The power coming into the transformer - is it 480? or higher?

    Someone correct me if wrong here but I am pretty sure the supply from the street to the home meter and Panelboard in the USA is typically 240 volts not 120. They stopped supplying 120 many years ago. The 240 comes in with a neutral and the Panel splits the two legs into 120 down each buss bar for the home. There are 240 volt breakers designed to cross both bus bars to supply a clothes dryer or other heavy draw appliance

  5. pattayapip,

    Your new WRvinyl widows look great.

    I think you made a good choice.

    Would you care to reveal the total cost including install?

    If not maybe a PM to me?

    I intend to have them quote me a price early next year on my new build.

    They were 160,000 Baht (10 Big Windows and 5 Big French Doors) , Which i think is great Value, with payments something like 50% on order, 40% When made and 10% when fitted and happy, good choice you wont be disappointed, They actually have a display at Careforre i saw Yesterday

    Cheers

    pattayapip,

    Just to clarify one more time?

    Your cost was for:

    10 ea 1700mm windows with multi point locks and screens

    4 sliding doors 1700mm with multipoint locks and screens

    1 double French door with locks and screens

    Installation and any other misc. pieces.

    What glass was installed? Green? Low e? Double?

    Did you get pricing from any other Upvc dealer in the area?

    Did you price aluminum to compare?
