Aye I'm still struggling to think where the cause could be located. 

OP where is your neutral point located?

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.

@Grusa It would still be useful if you could post a photo of your distribution board with the lid off, if for no reason other than interest to work out what you were seeing.

 

@Rookiescot Imagine an open neutral which is being somewhat bypassed by all those (not perfect) earth rods, it's quite easy to imagine the "earth" getting to somewhere rather less than the supply potential.

Aye I'm still struggling to think where the cause could be located. 

OP where is your neutral point located?

Don’t you think they’ve already done that?

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.

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.

You mean all 3 of the farang bars are shut down?     ????

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.

Not to my knowledge.

You must have got a good one then. 

I was thinking of my first wife from Scotland.

Error. I just looked up the definition of celibacy and according to google it's abstaining from sex AND marriage.

Surely they are both the same?

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?

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.

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.

One can only wonder about reciprocity in almost all cases of love, maybe.

 

And, perhaps in this case, it might be more a matter of symbiosis.

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.

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.

I swear this forum needs a Mills and Boon section.

I think a significant number of us are completely sick of the plague, the way it has been handled here, the draconian measures put into place, the punishing and highly selective application of restrictions, the economic destruction, the pain inflicted on the poor and lower income Thais, and the extreme level of fear of the Zombie Apocalypse. 

 

Get thee behind me is right! Get out now. Go away. Please. 

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.

C'mon guys it was only flour.

And not processed by a Thai court so it doesn't count anyway.

Kratom leaves can be freely planted.........

 

I went on Gardeners' Questiontime and asked Alan Titmarsh, who told me you need a SEED to grow anything from!

What does he know.

OK you have managed to find 2 or 3 then.

Contrast with somewhere like the Bahamas.

The rich can go anywhere. Very few of them choose Thailand.
