  1. Thais do not like that sort of behavior out in public, it`s bad etiquette in Thai culture.

    Exactly!

    All the OP actually witnessed was two individuals who originally met in 'seedy' Thailand which have travelled to another location in Thailand.

    They need to get a room, there's a time and a place for everything......you don't see 'sipi' marching around the shopping centre wearing all his studded leather gear, because he saves that for the bedroom or his modified garage/BDSM Den.

    If Sipi wore leather in public some Thai would put a ring through his nose and tether him in a rice paddy.
  2. Someone should record all this stuff and flog it off to naïve tourists.

    Ah, wait.....

    I read a book, not a very good book, it was a poorly written piece about Thailand written by an obvious sexpat who passes herself off as an expert in relation to everything about Thailand. The reality is, she wouldn't have a clue about Thailand and gained most of her experience in the seedy sois and hovels scattered around the place. I looked into the author and subsequently had a huge laugh. What a sad sad thing she was.

    Bit of a scam, taking money from folks passing yourself of as one thing, when in fact you are completely another thing.

    Shame on her.

    Was this book written by a woman? It just seems unusual.
  3. Who else lives here aside from teachers? Retired gents? Real estate agents? Legal Officers? NGO staff? Ebay salesmen? Businessmen?

    Of that list I see no reason why teachers would be singled out for ridicule. Real teachers, with a teaching degree, that is.

    add muay thai boxers to the list
    Plus "Personal Trainers", Tour guides, investigative journalists, investment advisors......
  4. I am more interested in the breadboard and usb interface. Could you post a schematic please?

    Actually I just slapped it together without a schematic. I'll put together something for you. Because serial comm ports on PCs are becoming more scarce I designed a USB-Serial converter, the module you see at the bottom, and all new designs I do use this now. I sent the board out to a commercial PCB facility and had a bunch made. Then have a tech who populates it here.

    The parts for the breadboard:

    1. PIC16F688 (any PIC or microcontroller will do)

    2. A HopeRF HHT02D (SHT11 equiv) digital (2 wire) temperature/humidity sensor. This is an expensive item, $30USD at Futurlec but they had a similar version for $10 and I bought several of them. If only monitoring temperature a very simple solution is the LM35 sensor for about 72 baht at Elements.

    3. 1 resistor

    Power for the system comes from the USB bus so no external supply needed.

    The USB-Serial converter uses one IC, FT232RL (about 100 baht IC)

    There are sensors shown on this Thai website - http://www.thaieasyelec.com/products/sensors/humidity-temperature.html

    And here - http://www.arduino.in.th/product/78/dht11-digital-temperature-and-humidity-sensor

    I bought several of those DHT11 sensors as they are cheap but haven't written the software for it yet.

    Thanks very much.

    Currently in Oz but will check it out.
