  1. Does the 'digital' meter has feature to prevent export? newer TOU meter seem to be all digital now
  2. on topic of divergent use/context and etymology the bus in colloquial thai is รถเมล์ from the time the service used to carry postal mail เรือเมล์ for boats were also used รถเมล์ is for regular intra-city service and รถทัวร์ is for inter-city coaches that doesn't have tour guide service on board even as previously discussed in this thread. วิน มอเตอร์ไซค์ has its etymological root in horseracing terms from the win/place the phrase in thai is เข้าวิน เข้าเพลส which probably became associated with victory and good luck and when motorcycle taxi rank began to develop, when the came 'home' to the rank they might have played with announcing the word เข้าวิน and then the วิน became used to denote a place where service like motorcycle or van for hire congregate
  3. Who's selling the 'new' rooms developer or other people who originally bought in? It'd only be concerning if the developer still hold a lot of unsold rooms. If the people paying the mortgages, and ultimately once they got repossessed, the bank, owns the rooms, not the developers, the condo fees will still be paid so it'll keep running If the developers still hold a lot of room, that also give them a lot of power in the condo meeting to vote things their way too If the condo were sold to the Chinese back during the boom years, it's understandable that it'll be empty now, but there's also issue with some creative mortgaging by thais getting mortgage for way over value of the room to take home the cash difference and sell on to the Chinese, that could blow up if the Chinese owner decided to be delinquent since they haven't been back in years
  4. What's her travel history, has she shown a pattern of travelling abroad and returning? will she be applying on a fresh clean passport? First time traveler with clean passport is not looked on favorably, if she has not, take her somewhere thais can get in without visas to have some entry/exit stamps in her passports first. having your relatives with accommodation counts as significant ties or reason enough for her to be able to 'extend' her stay in the UK so it could count against her in some case especially with your support. She might stand a better chance booking a holiday with guided tour groups with other thais, but then her source of funds from you needs to be explained. It can be done, but you need to be aware of potential questions or red flags raised and provide supporting evidence in anticipation,
  5. So instead of domestic split type wall air-conditioner, there's portable air con unit, they handily come with duct that's probably useful to pipe into tents, although this type of aircon is less efficient, it could cost less than to cool the whole room if you could just cool the smaller area of the tent Anyone has experience with ducting airconditioner directly into grow tents?
