I've had one these for 5 years now and is still very reliable. It provides power for my laptop and the internet router for about 30 minutes and has very effective voltage stabilization. I've had to replace the battery twice, which readily available on Lazada and easy to switch out.

Very useful advise for someone who has: And by the way, I use a laptop, but I still have a UPS because it keeps my internet connection alive.

Sounds like you haven't quite got over trying to claim 'bragging rights'.

A road like that should have a pedestrian bridge, not a zebra crossing. You just have to watch the speed of the traffic hurtling past whilst the guy's being interviewed to see that crossing that road on foot, even on a zebra crossing would be suicidal. All the crossing does is offer a false, very false sense of security. What a sad end of the year for that poor family.

As I said a while ago, address your nitpicking comments to the Daily Mail, from whence this syndicated article came. There's no point in whining about on here.

Well send your nitpicking criticism about the 'very poorly WITTEN headline' to the Daily Mail, Because that's were it came from.

They haven't even found it yet! 'Navy chiefs said they will now use sonar to find the wreckage of the Reggae Queen', 180 feet is too deep for regular SCUBA divers anyway. Only trained mixed gas technical divers can go that deep. I assume the RTN has them available, but I don't know for sure.

I agree, it looks more like a river boat to me. I spent many years working on dive boats as a dive guide. I certainly would not have put to sea on a tub like that. It has all hallmarks on an overloaded pick up. An accident waiting to happen.

I also get excellent and free service at their branch in Robinsons in Sakon Nakhon. I always pop in there when I'm that side of town for an ultrasonic clean and have the screws checked for security. Last year they replaced the nose pads for me as well.

Well funnily enough, so do I. with a friendly smile and a polite 'thank you'. In this life you get what you deserve! P.S. Welcome to my ignore list. I can live without prats like you.

It's the same for us as well up in Sakon Nakhon. On our last visit to do my marriage extension, there were six of us in the office. My wife and I, two officers and two assistants. I got the impression that they were getting bored and were pleased to see us. All done in about 40 minutes. No hassle at all. Like you, I get the impression that many of the problems related to immigration occur in, what you referred to as the 'tourist ghettos'. I've done my own marriage extensions using the income method (probably the most challenging) for many years now and I foresee no reason to change from that method.

They were my immediate thoughts as well. And what on earth was a dive boat doing out in rough seas at 11pm?

Why a smug grin. What's wrong with a friendly smile and a polite 'thank you'.

The sole purpose of us being here is exactly the same as every other living thing on this planet. To propagate our genes. (The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins 1976)

The person to whom it was addressed understood it. That's all that matters.

However: And my wife, a keen lottery ticket buyer confirms what @loong said above:

But it's still capital isn't it, not income.

No one in this whole thread has even tried to answer the O/P's query. Why should you pay income tax on it? Income tax is paid on income, not capital. That might sound a bit over simplistic but it's nonetheless true. You're talking about capital which is already in Thailand. You don't pay income tax on capital, only on the interest that you receive on that capital, which paid in the form of withholding tax, paid by the bank to the RD. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Yes, that would be a problem. Our water comes straight from the main supply. No tank, no pump. So for us it works. There's something to be said for simplicity at times.

What's important for you Mike to have some incentive. And you have one right here, getting back to doing your circuits. It's a long time ago now, but if I recall correctly, I'd say it took me about 4 to 6 weeks of daily exercises as prescribed by Dr. Root to get me 'match fit' again. Now apart from the occasional twinge, which we probably all get as we age, I don't have any serious problems. Although I don't do the 'Root exercises' anymore, I can still remember them and could take them up again if necessary. I even have a wall chart stored on my computer, should I need them. Set yourself a target Mike. 'I will walk that circuit again'. Make that your mantra and go for it.

That's very much how I was regarding sciatic pain. I can recall starting the day walking much like gorilla, gradually straightening the back and the legs as the pain dissipated. Which raises an important point. Walking is our most basic and our most important exercise and conversely, sitting is our biggest enemy when it comes to backache. Even at 77 years I still exercise daily including walking and I try and avoid sitting for too long at a stretch. It takes self discipline but it's worth it.

You won't regret I'm sure. Take care.

I completely agree with this. I was in severe pain and for a while I could only go to the bathroom on all fours. My symptoms were much as you describe. I fixed my own back using the gentle exercise routine as prescribed by one Dr. Leon Root in his famous book 'Oh my Aching Back'. This was many years ago, back in the 1980s and the pain has never returned. Dr. Root has passed away now but his legacy lives on in the updated version of the book, now called 'No More Aching Back' and it's available in hard cover or Kindle form from Amazon. I highly recommend it.

Listen up @CapraIbex. By the time you've weighed up all the possible options. Figured out the logistics. Done all the costings. Found a suitable person to do the installation (that's probably your biggest challenge) the cold spell will be over and you'll have forgotten all about it. I've been going through this every winter for the last 5 years. What I do now is to wait until the afternoon when the water and the air temp is at its peak, man up a bit and just get done with. I only take one shower a day when the weather is cool like this so it's no problem for me.

Krungsri's App, the only one I use here is excellent and very reliable. I very rarely visit the on-line site nowadays. The only transaction I was unable to do with the app was pay my True Move account, but they've even fixed that now.
