Tsk Tsk. No Goski, you got it wrong again. You have an IQ of 8

I stand corrected. But Can I assume the properties of the battery inside are not the same as a lead acid type battery?

Your UPS is 240V in and 240V out. There`s no conversion to 12v DC. To do that you would need an invertor.

And, as Goski knows, to drink Chang beer at 35 baht, you simply drink where "kee neeow" Dave drinks.

Chang35 baht.

Sorry Klik, I couldn`t help myself.

This is probably what i should have said: Niloc, your computer runs on 240 volts AC, whereas your standard car battery only give out 12V DC. They are not compatible in any way. Except without a lot of very expensive equipment. Which would make the whole process uneconomical.

Personally, although I have one, I dont need to use my UPS for my computer, because I never really need to save data etc. Actually, I have a notebook and the UPS is in line on the kids desktop computer.

When I return home to Thailand after my latest working trip, I`ll probably put a socket on the end of the secondary lead so as to plug a light into it, thus enabling you to sort out things for a short while(until the UPS flattens), whilst you are waiting for the power to be restored.

Hope you didnae take offence Niloc( did you take your name from the self locking nut?)

Cheers,

Great idea Colin. Simply park your car next to your computer to ensure quick and easy charging.

P.S. don`t forget to leave the engine running.

Border open as normal. Yes, you do have to get to the main road to get the bus. If your travelling light, It`s a 15 minute walk.

Another "I love Thailand speech"

A who`s who of C.R. celeb`s indeed. I nearly didn`t recognise anyone without glasses in hands.

Goski, you hide it well with your arm.

Was that Brad on the end? I haven`t seen him in a long time. Please give him my best wishes.

I`ll support from a distance.

Keep up with the match reports Limbo, they`re first class.

You would leave Thailand because you can`t get your car in your own name. Sounds rather rash. If your rant reflects the way you handle yourself in situations such as the dilemma you`ve had regarding your registration then you`ve no chance. You`ve been here a long time you obviously love the place. Chill out man.

Just curious, after all the time you`ve been living in Chiang Rai, have you not made any friends that will accompany you to Mae sai for free , as a favour?

Maybe they`re shouting at you to keep away from them because they don`t like the look of you. They don`t trust you You go to work on a bike. Shirt and tie. Perhaps they think you are a Mish. They`re scared you may pinch their tools.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVED GUILTY. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I think at that price Tom it will be 2nd hand. A new motorbike/scooter will be 30.000 upwards. Even a 50cc bike.

But, I am going to ask/beg you not to buy a 50cc scooter for your GF because they are the worst sounding bikes on the market. The high, pitched model aeroplane type, engine sound will drive you crazy Just buy her a 100cc Honds Wave/Dream. you should be able to get a new one for around 34,000Bt. It will last forever if you take care of it.

I have lost count of how many farangs have told me that they are friends with the chief of police, he must be a popular chap.

How come there are not ordinary soldier's here in Thailand, they all seem to be Navy Seals or Special Force's.

Whilst not being a soldier I was in the Royal Air Force as a radio technician for 25 years boy and man.

I have only 1 medal for long service and good conduct awarded after 18 years.

Was never shot at or involved in any wars.

Just did my time and left.

No sweat, no problem.

Tell us the truth. For you ze war is over my friend.

Is Benny Hill still alive?

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Chiang Rai isn't an international airport...no direct international flights/no immigration check. So...presumably everyone coming in would have already been subject to scan in BKK. Sounds like window dressing to me.

Chjang Rai is an international airport with immigration facilities.

Bit of a sweeping statement. "The best surgeon". How can you justify this?

Well, it's not a Swedish recipe and looking into some from your own pitch we have culinary disasters as "cullen skink", "herring in oatmeal"and of course the highly technical "claggum" with the explanation: "It is a very simple recipe and MAY be suitable for younger adults to make IF THEY ARE SUPERVISED". Ingredients: One teacup of cold water and two teacups of black treacle.

Takes years of experience to get that one just right. Also used for sealing roofs.

Well .. I am living in Pai, and am retired. I am thinking of moving to Chiang Rai and would like some personal advice and insight from a good person.

1. I am single. I had a girlfriend, but I think her relatives told her I am keneow and so she decided she was getting too little money and left me.

1a. So you want to move to Chiang Rai because your G/F relatives think you are Stingy. Slightly over dramatic reaction methinks.

2. Now I am single and thinking of moving to C. Rai.

2a. Yeah, we get the message.

3. I currently pay 5000 baht for a beautiful home in Pai with a lot of land and mango and banana trees.

3a. A bargain.

4. I want to pay about the same in CRai.

4a. Add another zero

5. I would like to find a new g/friend and for me that means super adorable and not too old and no kids and christian. (I am a born again Christian).

5a. Very christian of you. If your looking for a virgin, why don`t you just say so.

Any advice? Any suggestions where to stay, or will I be able to meet any nice women? Anything you can tell me?

Please PM or give me your fone number and I will call you, if you don't mind a chat.

My number is 911. call anytime.

Chang 35 Bath(apparently).

P.S. my wife has a friend, not too old, no kids, mega adorable and, you`ll be delighted to hear, born again christian. here`s a pic.

Chang 35 bath i think you misunderstood, the man was asking advice from a good person.

1). That`s why he didn`t get any from me obviously.

2) Erwin, do your homework.

If anyone else misses their surkål I can give them a tip. Go to the market and buy either white or red cabbage. Boil it with a little bit of water and vinegar, salt, whole pepper corns and maybe a bay leaf or two. Basic cooking for the farangs with some spare time, about 30 minutes.

Sounds exciting, boiled cabbage with a vinegary taste. Thanks for the tip Goski.

Wait for the bus at the airport T-junction on the super highway. No need to go all the way into town. If you can get the moto rider to take you there only.

Nobody is going to give you better info than the Thai Immigration. I suggest you just take your gf and yourself up/down there. Their english will be good enough for you.

I think I`ve known all along Sven. We usually refer to him as CC. I`m surprised you never clicked earlier.

I`m out of th country at the moment, but my wife attended Rico`s opening, So if I need to confim it I will ask her.

Do I get the beers?

Yor drinking buddy, C35B.

Elderly people, Yes It`s been going on for years now. They go by the name of th Chiang Rai Amphetamine Peoples society (CRAPS) Usually the take sets of golf clubs as a ruse. But they are actualy handy for storing said YABA.

You see these people aroud town all the time.They are very unassuming. But believe me, be wary of them. They are evil and have to be stopped.

What did he do in the 4th year?
