  1. If you have a work permit you can buy a condo with the money already in your Thai bank account.

    This is what the land office have told my Wife but they also ask for proof of address and its where to get this proof of address thats illuding her, they mentioned immigration but a call to them got nowhere.

    Maybe they mean "certificate of residence" like you need for opening a bank account or getting a driving licence.

  2. Look for this logo on the new TV

    It will have a built in DVB-T2 tuner so no need for a set top box.
    I would go for an unsmart TV with no DVB-T2 tuner as they are now cheaper and you can pick and choose
    to add your own smart bit for example with a set top box for Terestrial TV, an android media player for IPTV ( XBMC) and aDVD/Blueray player
    having the features in seperate "boxes" safeguards you in event of failure of one component or redundency /change of standards.
  3. My wife has the old type driving license. It's valid until she's 60 or 70.

    She claims, that if she change it to the new type, it has to be renewed every 5 years.

    Does anyone know if that is correct?.

    She should be able to get the new type (as in plastic with photo) valid for "life"

    Even though they don't issue "life time" licences any more they will convert the old paper types to plastic with all benefits grandfathered in.

  4. The dog ultrasound repellent has arrived. A joke. First off, it has no permanent beep, you need to press a button to make it work. One dog looked a bit irritated and moved half a meter further. The other dogs were not impressed at all.

    By not "impressed at all" do you mean it had no effect on them or that they didn't like it and run away ?

  5. Earlier this year Karabow had a concert at the Silverlake/Buddha Mountain a good few kilometers from my abode which

    is near to Mimosa in Na Jomtien.

    The wind must have been in the "right" direction because my windows where ratlling untill 1.30 AM.

  6. I haven't built this circut but might if I can find some tweeters.

    from here http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/50%20-%20555%20Circuits/50%20-%20555%20Circuits.html

    H-BRIDGE PUSH-PULL
    DOG-BARK STOPPER
    In this design the current can be 3 amps or more, depending on the supply voltage, the resistance of the load and the type of driver transistors. About 2v5 is lost between "c and e" due to the output of the 555 and the base-emitter voltage of the driver transistors. This circuit drives an ultrasonic transducer (speaker) at 20kHz to 40kHz to subdue dog barking.
    If the unit is turned on by remote control every time the dog barks, the animal will soon learn to cease barking.

    Look on eBay for Piezo Tweeter for about $3.00 plus $7.00 postage. The maximum frequency response will be about 30kHz.
