Surreal: "what they have learned so far"
Step up security - a week after a bomb went off a few hundred metres up the road I was able to walk into Paragon with a large bag. Nobody checked it or even questioned me.
There is an idiot factor in this junta that surpasses any of the regimes I've lived under in this country over the past decade.
Are you an Arab or Chinese?
If you are the usual pinky from Europe with shorts, etc why would anyone suspect a bomb in your bag?
Oh so? I guess I wouldn't employ you to look after the dog house.

with Belkin Lifetime Warranty and $300,000 Connected Equipment Warranty
Edit
There is a newer model of this item:
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Outlet-Protector-Telephone-Protection/dp/B003YNRWQA/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
And those 4000 joule would translate to Amp as?
I think it would be something like 20 Amp.

I wouldn't want to flounder in that water by accident when floating my kratong, because it would mean my days were numbered.

595 replies. out of that approximately 95% arrogant, derogatory and insulting comments, some of them plain stupid. most probably from the crème de la crème of the local expat community
Ever been to a Thai school with English program and had a conversation in English with the Thai English teacher Naam?

France launched "massive" air strikes on the Islamic State group's de-facto capital in Syria Sunday night, destroying a jihadi training camp and a munitions dump in the city of Raqqa, where Iraqi intelligence officials say the attacks on Paris were planned.
And they just found out about those targets during the weekend. RIGHT?
Why the Paris attack had to happen before they act on intelligence they have probably for long time already?

And it’s the future status of President Assad that could prove to be a stumbling block, along with the determination of which opposition groups are regarded as terrorists.
In other words, they agreed that they can't agree, and that will further put their nose in other countries business.

"To defeat ISIL decisively would require hundreds of thousands of Western ground troops, but nobody thinks the ISIL threat warrants that scale of commitment, and in fact it doesn't," Biddle said.
So an organisation that terrorizes the entire world doesn't warrant that scale of commitment?

If I understand the video correctly, the estate is located in the middle of a national park. I thought nobody, even Thais, could own land to develop inside a national park

Bery100,
It is a sad fact that in the modern world it is never the leaders who do the fighting; if it were then maybe we'd have fewer wars.
I think you know very well what I'm talking about.
How many of the Muslim countries in the middle east, that aren't invaded by ISIS, are actively fighting them?
-
The lunatics who did this have nothing to do with normal muslims, if isis did this. I have my doubts.
A strong majority around the world despises those actions.
Time for people like Le pen and the likes to march.
Heil to xenophobia and closed minds.
And Im not a muslim in the slightest.
Seems that "Muslims" have a record you would do well to acknowledge .......................
The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim
The Beltway Snipers were Muslims
The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim
The underwear Bomber was a Muslim
The U-S.S. Cole Bombers were Muslims
The Madrid Train Bombers were Muslims
The Bali Nightclub Bombers were Muslims
The London Subway Bombers were Muslims
The Moscow Threat Attackers were Muslims
The Boston Marathon Bombers were Muslims
The Pan-Am flight #93 Bombers were Muslims
The Air France Entebbe Hijackers were Muslims
The Iranian Embassy Takeover, was by Muslims
The Beirut U.S. Embassy bombers were Muslims
The Libyan U.S. Embassy Attack was by Muslims
The Buenos Aires Suicide Bombers were Muslims
The Israeli Olympic Team Attackers were Muslims
The Kenyan U.S, Embassy Bombers were Muslims
The Saudi, Khobar Towers Bombers were Muslims
The Beirut Marine Barracks bombers were Muslims
The Besian Russian School Attackers were Muslims
The first World Trade Center Bombers were Muslims
The Bombay & Mumbai India Attackers were Muslims
The Achille Lauro Cruise Ship Hijackers were Muslims
The September 11th 2001 Airline Hijackers were Muslims
That is just the short list compiled by a man who recognises truth !
I haven't the inclination to check the veracity of your list; but speaking as someone who was just minutes away from being in the Horse and Groom pub in Guildford when the IRA bomb went off, I could compile a similarly long list of terrorist atrocities by those who claim to follow other faiths.
Perhaps it is time for "normal" Muslims to oppose this Barbarity.
As has been repeatedly shown in this and other topics; they do, frequently, and have done right from the start. Another example: Muslim Leaders Worldwide Condemn ISIS
You say you recognise the truth. So why won't you recognise the truth that Islamist terrorists do not represent Islam and the truth that the overwhelming majority of Muslims worldwide are as sickened and appalled by the events in Paris last night, and all the other atrocities committed by terrorist who claim to be Muslim, as you and I?
Who do you think is currently fighting ISIS on the ground? It aint the tooth fairy!
Who do you think is currently fighting ISIS on the ground? It aint the tooth fairy!
But it ain't those Muslim leaders worldwide either.

I start thinking that the strike must have been a distance away, because if thousands of Amp would go through the equipment, I assume i would have much more damages.
So could it be that the strike was actually quite a distance away, and passed through several junction boxes etc before it reached my place, and had already lost most of it's power?

Surge protection will not help with a lighting strike...too much voltage. I know because I lost a satellite reciver and a audio video reciver when my dish got hit in Canada. Was told they are useless with lighting. Best to just unplug electronics when a electrical storm is in the area.
That could maybe an option when you're at home, but it was a short storm anyway so you may not expect this to happen, but nobody unplugs his cable modem each and everytime he goes out.
-
Surge protectors work fine but they have to be properly earthed in order to do so
Not necessarily. Some have the MOV connected to neutral instead.
Whit neutral do you mean the harness of the coaxial cable?

Make sure True installed a Galvanic Isolator on your cable line which which is a surge protector of sorts which blocks DC currents, hum, isolates different electrical sections like between buildings which can cause very significant voltage differences, etc. The isolator should be installed somewhere after it enters your residence....mine was located right after the cable comes through the wall on its way to the cable modem.
If you do have an isolator it;s probably a case of the cable system not being grounded at enough locations, improper grounding, etc. And sometimes even with all the proper equipment installed, surge protection, and great grounding, a lightning strike can still get through to your equipment. And the path the lightning surge is talking is could really be through your electrical circuit back to your cable internet/TV line but it's just your cable modem is less resistant to surges than your other electronic equipment.
My cable has a GIS103D galvanic isolator installed...see this Link.
Knock on wood but I've been with True cable since mid 2011, went through some hellish lightning storms here in Bangkok, an so far my True cable TV and internet equipment has not suffered any damage from lightning. In fact had a mini lightning storm within the hour...only last about 10 minutes here in western Bangkok.
Below is a short youtube video giving an example of an galvanic isolator on a cable line....you isolator should look the same although with different manufacturer labeling.
Since your cable modem/router is actually on loan to you from True, they will replace it free of charge.
I'm not on True but a local cable company, which leases the lines from CAT, and there is no galvanic isolator anywhere.I will talk with the cable company about this.
Is sucha galvanic isolator the same as Ubonjoe suggested, and can it be purchased locally at an affordable price?
My router and modem are also not on loan. With a 1 year contract paid upfront they wave the fee i normally have to pay to purchase the modem and router, but I think they replaced the router free of charge under warranty.
I also don't worry so much about that router, but there are many devices connected to my home network, and I think so far I was lucky that only the router ports and a cheap d-link switch were the only victims.

You could ask about fibre to your desk (FTTX).
We have TOT fibre, works well and since the fibre is non-metallic is totally immune to lightning surges
Any surges on the mains will have a job getting to the router, we have multiple MOV devices and a dedicated AVR and UPS for the network.
My cost is now 650 Bht/month. If I wanted fiber it would be 2500 Baht and about 30.000 Baht to pull the fiber from the exchange to my house.I think they still would do the last few meter in coaxial anyway.
Decisions decisions

Perhaps a lightning/surge protector on the incoming cable. Perhaps one similar to this one. http://www.l-com.com/surge-protector-f-female-to-f-female-0-3-ghz-90v-lightning-protector
I think that is indeed what I need. Will ask the cable company if they want to provide one, as it cost them a router each time, and otherwise have a look on Ebay.

For the second time in less than a week a lightning strike hit the coaxial cable that provides my internet.
I have a cable modem and router separately provided by the company.
In both cases it killed the router instantly, first time the WAN port and today the LAN port that was connected to my network switch, but the cable modem survived both strikes.
The company replaced my first router without questions, and I can only hope they will do same this time, but at the same time in both events a LAN port of a small switch somewhere along the network is killed as well.
It is a 5 port switch and now 2 LAN ports, which previously connected to the main network switch, are dead.
I will of course have difficulties to get that switch replaced by the cable tv company, and worry that in the future such a lightning strike will do more damage.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Take note the lightning strike was both times on the internet cable, and not the mains, since all electrics stayed on and only the internet died taking the router with it.

So probably it would be only something like 0.000001 Amp, maybe.
