  1. Your non-O visa expired long before, your extension is an extension of "allowed to stay until.." and it expires 7th of June so then you have neither a valid visa nor a valid extension. You don't need to do anything and there is nothing for immigration to cancel.
  2. Kudos to you for making space for the younger generation instead of egoistically occupying a seat that you don't need.
  3. It is good to see that we have Bangkok property value experts here on AN 😁
  4. Have you signed the contract with PEA? The solar company may have filed the initial application with PEA but you have to sign the contract. There should also be an inspection of your installation by PEA before making the contract. I think you are better off by asking PONIX about the status.
  5. You still need to notify the Energy Regulatory Commission that you are exempt from Power Generating License regardless if your plant is on-grid or off-grid. 5 | Permits & Licensing Step Home 5.5 Notification for Exemption of Power Generation License Page 1/5 >< This step is for solar PV rooftop systems smaller than 1,000 kVA PV systems that are less than 1,000 kVA are exempted from the Power Generation License. Nevertheless, the Facility Owner / Solar Service Provider must submit a notification for exemption to ERC. This can be submitted online or at ERC office https://www.climatelinks.org/sites/default/files/asset/document/2017_USAID-Clean-Power-Asia_RE-Guidelines-Solar-PV-Rooftop-Implementation-EN-v1.pdf (page 73)
  6. I can't see how that is possible when a 500W panel is 2.3m x 1.2m You gain somewhat from them being angled but not that much
  7. Tell Chalerm Yoovidhya what you think of him and his son - don't buy his products.
  8. It is not about her, she is only mentioned in the header (why?) but not in the article..
  9. 100 Baht a month which is for 1 garbage bag per 2-3 weeks. Dogs, chickens and compost get food remains, and we recycle plastic bottles, metal cans and cardboard letting the grand children do the sorting and bagging and then getting whatever money the scrapyard pays for it. We could have given it to the local garbage collector but it is a good lesson for the grand children in the value of recycling. Our own well. No, we have a solar system, we are almost 100% self sufficient. We typically buy 15-20 units from the grid monthly , so far this month we are 10 days into the billing period with 0 units purchased.. You are not unique in that aspect. Even the mountain side villa owners with their pools condensing out water in the heat has brought in a lot of money and I think they are a much bigger problems for Samui's infrastructure than 20-30 cruice ships one-day tourist a year.
  10. We don't have to be too concerned about the quality of one-day tourists, they don't use a lot of water or electricity and neither I in Chaweng or Tropicalevo in the pointy end will see much of them. They mainly stay in southern Samui and are probably a gifted addition to the income for many businesses down there.One-day tourists are only quantity tourist. Samui could do though with a higher quality of long-staying foreigners, they/we are the ones putting a burden on Samui's infrastructure.
  11. Samui businesses needs all customers they can get and if they stay on the cruise ships because the trip from ship to shore is too long or inconvenient then it is a lost income for them. As retirees we may see the tourists with a different eye than the business owners but I think we have to accept that the tourists are needed..
  12. I should mention that all consumers creates a bit of reactive power on the grid so the digital meter can measure how much there is of it on incoming meter terminals and how much there is of it on outgoing terminals which means that they can directly see how much Q you have created in relation to how much P you have used. It is common in Europe that big industries have to install equipment to lower their Q but I have never heard of home users having to do it or being charged for it. So @Muhendis, you can say that Q stands for Quality (of the AC sine wave) and it may be the reason why that letter has been chosen, it is an international standard.
  13. P is active energy , Q is reactive energy where P usually flows from grid into load and Q is bounced back from load to grid.
  14. I don't think any of the digital meters have that but they have a button to switch between display mode, they can display P and Q in both directions.
  15. A 250GB SSD is perfect as a Windows system drive (C:). All your photos, videos, music and other data on a bigger 1TB (D:) data drive.
  16. Crossy recently advertised two for sale:
  17. I think they are mentioned for preventive reasons ie to stop them speculating about the case. 🤫
  18. I have an online 90-day report with status pending since 5 days ago and received the confirmation of receipt email. What is a bit worrying is that I didn't get the reminder email which they use to send out a couple of weeks beforehand so something is wacky in their system. Since I got the confirmation of receipt email then that must count as a 90-day report made in due time right? I shouldn't have to do anything until they either approve or reject the report. 😃
  19. Oh but those production curves doesn't look that bad. We have had four cloudy days in a row and my new shiny digital meter already shows a higher consumption than previous month and we are only halfway through the billing period. 🤑 Here is my curve from a messed up day:
  20. I guess those of you who doesn't have a Home button on your keyboard will miss it, I'm glad that annoying green arrow is gone.
  21. https://www.smartttc.com/en/product?c=1#smart_electricity_meter User Manuals are available in the Download section
  22. TV8 did a reportage about this case yesterday and mentioned the emailed will. Their reporter got chased away by someone who didn't like that they interviewed the maid..
