ผู้อายุต่ำกว่า 20 ปีบริบูรณ์เข้าใช้บริการโดยเด็ดขาด

I read it as  "persons under 20 years of age strictly not allowed in to use services"  

people who use services are customers I think ?

I have had some repairs that were exposed to the sun start cracking and coming apart after about 7 or 8 years.

If you paint it  it will last a bit longer..same with PVC pipe exposed to the sun.

How many times was the new word "Farang"   used ?

The tap itself is leaking and I will get a replacement tap.

Excellent you just saved at least 3,000 baht  and a bigger embarrassment when the new heater still "leaked"

????????

There is supposed to be another pipe attached  where the drip is emerging...it will either be the shower head or a  tap / valve   if you have the input connected directly to the wall with no valve

(that comes with the heater)  then the wall tap/valve is leaking...the pipe inside the heater is straight through with no  valve/tap.

Waiting for a suitable "bigwig"   to cut the ribbon ??

but seriously I think there are still sections that are not even started..maybe land rights dispute ?

At the moment the stretch of Sukhumvit that it joins  is a nice new widened and freshly tarmacked

So anyway, was that a Russian / Ukrainian dancing upstairs on the left side? 

Yes apparently they have all got work permits as "entertainers"  !!!!!

A voltmeter that shows 1.3 volt less than the battery actually has. Perhaps a Chinese thingy?

Less is more ? 13.8 is a good voltage to charge a 12v battery with.

The tropical storm "Mun" was quite weak when it reached Pattaya so not much of a test so far.

The Evil Dead,Nightmare on Elm Street , Hellraiser and Flatliners (1990 version) scared the "bejusus" out of me .

Suzuki Address never heard if it...is it sold in Thailand ?

Wow looks like they nearly completed their goal of concreting over the entire country !

Its a 150cc  air cooled bike  it won't have much power to start with so 90 KPH is not brilliant but not too bad a smaller back sprocket is very cheap  just try it and see what happens..

also pump the tires up to the recommended pressure  ( higher pressure will give you better speed but less grip/safety)

if the fuel tank is full, also no noise...!!!?

I would suspect that some rubber dampers on the petrol tank are missing or perished  over inflated tyres might also case vibration  or bad bearings on the front wheel.

Anyone remebmer Tutti-Frutti?

Yes  I remember it, one of the Italian  channels ( Rai Uno ? ) had a similar program  but there was better entertainment on Filmnet and Tv1000

Tv1000 was normally  uplinked from London  but at midnight before they could show the "good stuff" they had to switch uplink to one of the Scandinavian countries ( Sweden or Denmark ) quite often the switch over failed   ( see the switchover in the below  video, signal disappears  into snow then  comes back  scrambled for a while  before the D2Mac decoder re assembled the stream )

I've seen some cameras that work on wifi but you can also insert an SD card. Do these cameras still work without being connected to wifi. I just need to be able to pop the SD card in my laptop and watch it back at the end of the day.

Yes they will work without Wifi...you can set them to record on a loop to the SD card..but a few problems  the thief can steal the camera/SD card ( you'll not see the thief ???? )  , you'll soon get bored removing inserting it everyday +  the card socket can be fiddly and easy to break...

Your laptop most likely has Wifi built in  you can connect to the cameras web-server and download the recordings without removing the sd card.

It's tough and a government certificate is only issued to successful applicants. Many contractors fail the audit

@SteveB2  thanks for your interesting update to this thread

can you post a copy of the certificate here ( redact bits if you want) ...so we know what the official government certificate looks like..also is there a  contact number so customers can phone and check its a real certificate that "Somchai" presents to say he's qualified.

 

When you say "timed audit"  do you mean a practical test installation with  examiner overseeing ?

They call the  dubbed voice    the "Handsome voice"  I'm convinced there are only two voice over artists  1 male and one female  who do everything  they must be worked to death ! ????   ah hooyyyyy.

 

 

thort NO traffic allowed on this road???!!! pedestrians and bicycles only ??

They allow traffic at certain times of the day...but its a road to nowhere anyway,unless you're driving a beach buggy or moto X bike
you can't actually reach the road at
"Yim Yom" beach....close but stopped by a concrete staircase last time I tried while they where doing theses "improvements"

he came to Pattaya on holiday ,and then went to see a movie

I went to see a movie ( sometimes more than one) every single time I "holidayed" in Thailand..why ?  because its much cheaper than in England.
