There is an Epoxy Resin Glue available from most Hardware Stores that is specific to Water Leaks

Just go in and ask - not expensive and can be used if the leak is a little wet.

I just used the "all purpose" stuff I had already..  it's  labeled for fixing rebar to concrete but works for most everything.  well didn't last too long on a motorcycle  exhaust pipe ????

If using metal valves, how do you fit them to the plastic PVC pipes?

They are threaded  either male or female   so you would have to get the corresponding threaded bit of PVC

and use some Teflon plumping tape wrapped around the treads to seal them..test fit  the treads before glueing everything else as sometimes they are a good fit and need  not so much tape  but more often are very sloppy fit so need lots of tape to seal.

After transferring the number from the old car to the new one, the old car has no number.

The old car gets the new cars number...if you sell old car to someone else in another province then they would have to get yet another new number plate...yes its a crazy system.

I should probably change the smaller inlet valve too as it gets sun too and may be getting brittle.

Be very careful  while trying to get everything apart and then back together the PVC could easily shatter from too much bending..if not too late already its a good idea to protect the PVC from the intense UV with a coat of  glossy paint  and maybe use metal valves.

Thanks much. But I could sell the car to someone in another province?

You can sell the car to whoever wants to buy it.

Let's say, my car is registered in Bangkok and I want to transfer the number plate to a new car registered in Bangkok.

Yes you can do that  you can swap the number plates...but it has to be done officially at the Department of Land Transportation and registered in the cars blue book.

The buyer of the old car, however, has a registered home address in another province. The buyer is a tourist with a certificate of residency of his own condo.

The buyer of the old car gets a new number plate in their province,so as far as I understand the process

If you want to keep the old number plate and use it on your new car  you have to transfer from the old car to the new car before selling it to someone else.

Why so Negative ,Just Normal tap water You know the test ,just do it.

I used 220 V  100w W Bulb Bg Mug and some salt to make it work 100% nearly touching probes.

I don't need to do the test ( I watched it on Youtube)

+  I already accidentally  fried the mainboard of my aircon  with over zealous

power washer ( using tap water ) the water got into the board and even after a few hours with the power off it wasn't dry, as soon as I turned power back on the "magic smoke" was released.

Before that  the power washer (with tap water) also killed the compressor fan..I'm a firm believer that tap water conducts electricity.

How about you try  an experiment   take a big bucket of tap water and  throw your toaster in there whilst its toasting....????   if you could share the results that would be great????

Please exercise extreme caution whilst throwing  toaster so as not to let your body ever touch the water and/or toaster at the same time. 

P.S the above is a joke  do not try the toaster experiment at home !!!!

Its supposedly possible to heat the joints and "unglue" them  but I had no success with that method  using a LPG blow torch   a hot air paint stripper or  soldering station with variable temperature might do better ?

The heat also damaged another part stuck in the wall so I couldn't actually glue the new bit in without leaks

however the every usefull 2 part epoxy resin soon did the trick  it even sets  with water in the pipes...not under pressure just  no need to totally dry the joints like you do with PVC glue.

What he means is that this is the only green area in Pattaya that they haven't concreted over yet.

Perhaps they need even more swathes of (blue) concrete for this.

As far as I know you can't just keep the number plate,   you can transfer the plate to another car  within the same province  so Bangkok to Bangkok or Chaingmai to Chaingmai  but not Bangkok to Chaingmai

You also cannot transfer from Motorcycle to car and visa versa..as per (old) normal  things may be different if you know "someone"  who arranges things for a monetary fee

Hopefully such articles and similar attesting to the importance of tourists dollars to this country economy are also published in the local language for the locals to read and see how important foreigners and tourists are

In Thailand just a pair of socks and some door hinges are enough.

Safe trusted Thailand?

 

In the video it says they will also undergo "training"    maybe they where "untrained" before  but still allowed to be responsible for the life's of many passengers per day ?

Why would anything go wrong ?Clean water Isn't a Conductor.  

Only 100% pure water is  a  non conductor of electricity

Since the water that we use in our daily lives is bound to have impurities, it’s best to keep all electrical devices away so that they never come in contact with water.

You can try  this recipe its quite good   think it is @BritManToo recipe not mine.

80ml rum +    (Hong Thong works fine at 250bht/700ml bottle.)
1 tsp red cap coffee +
2 tsp Milo   +   ( malt and chocolate)
2 tbl Carnation sweetened condensed milk
+ ice, all in the blender = Baileys Original (near enough)

The defendant was also fined Bt1,000 and ordered to pay compensation to all victims, including a 7.5 per cent per annum interest rate, until the payment is completed.

Fined 1000 baht  ???   How will he pay compensation + 7.5% interest  while in prison or dead ?
