  1. Just wondering if the earth spikes could be the source of the voltage? With heavy rain and a raised water table those "earths" might be conducting between each other.
  2. Aye I'm still struggling to think where the cause could be located. OP where is your neutral point located?
  3. Not in the way it has happened in countries like Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. My understanding is there are places in those countries where the locals are not allowed to go. Entire towns full of casinos owned by the Chinese, run by the Chinese, staffed with Chinese and only Chinese customers.
  4. I dont understand the voltages. Your supply will be 220v. As for 150v thats got me scratching my head. You would need to put the supply through a step down transformer to get that. Then the whole thing disappears? Honestly mate I got no idea right now but I will keep thinking about it.
  5. Not sure about allowing foreigners to own land in Thailand. If they open that floodgate the Chinese will have bought the place up within a week. They should at the very least get rid of the 90 day reporting though. Its pointless. Only people here with a valid visa do it. So it catches no-one who is not legal. For most its a waste of a morning but for some its a two hour drive each way to the nearest immigration office.
  6. No actually it would be nearer 30 bars bars. Of course the local Bangkok hospital wants the land they are all sitting on so again make of that what you will.
  7. You must have got a good one then. I was thinking of my first wife from Scotland.
  8. Got a link to that? If thats the case wee need to stop going for a pee as well.
  9. Lets face it. Its not the first time you have woke up with some strange bird in the garden making weird noises now is it?
  10. OK having lived in Thailand for a number of years now I suspect this announcement has been made because the Baht is on the edge of collapsing. If you are going to make any kind of transactions INTO baht from a foreign currency I suggest waiting a week or two.
  11. Joking aside this is where building codes come into play. Back in the west a sprinkler system would be mandatory for a place like that. Sometimes it seems Thailand is catching up with developed countries but in other areas you suddenly realise no, its not.
  12. When I lived in a city I always tried to use the same tuk tuk drivers and tipped them well. They would get to know my routine and would be waiting for me when the pubs closed. Sometimes declining fares from other people wanting a tuk tuk to ensure they got my custom to take me back home. Look after people and they will often look after you.
  13. So you are sniffing around a married woman. You can try and paint this in whatever glowing and florid terms you want but that's the reality.
  14. If you are sniffing around a woman who you know is already involved with someone else then you deserve all that's coming your way. And believe me it will be coming your way.
  15. Selective is right. The only area of Udon which is shut down is the soi with the ferang bars on it. Make of that what you will.
  16. C'mon guys it was only flour. And not processed by a Thai court so it doesn't count anyway.
  17. OK you have managed to find 2 or 3 then. Contrast with somewhere like the Bahamas. List of Bahamians - Wikipedia The rich can go anywhere. Very few of them choose Thailand.
  18. Whether they are special or not they are not flocking to Thailand and are not buying pointless Elite visas mostly because they cant even own a house here and cant be bothered with 90 day reports. Go ahead and name some of the millionaires who have retired here.
