A widow with acute hearing, sleeping with a loaded .38 under her pillow, a spurned drunken intruder, a young daughter repelling the attacker with an iron in the ensuing struggle, an aged yet feisty mother joining in! That is some household. Too much for me!

I'd be pretty annoyed if I was accused of something and the police sold my motorbike and car before I even had a trial. Does that really happen? Guess so.

Unfortunately we live on a slope and about 1 to 1 1/2 metres down we are into bedrock. IIRC my wife looked into it a few years ago and got a driller up from somewhere to do a survey and costing. He said that while it was possible it would need something like a diamond tipped drill and would cost in excess of 100,000 baht and no guarantee of water.

 

We are about 12 to 15 metres above the klong on the other side of the road. Last year somebody used a digger and found water about 2 metres below the bed of the klong so we would have to go down 20 metres or more.

 

I have built up a collection of concrete ongs over the years, 20 of them are cross connected and 7 more to the side free standing. They each hold about 1,500 usable litres and last year we got deliveries of water from the big village 6 km away.

 

I used to get them to pump into the 7 free standing ongs and I would them pump that water (after letting it stand a few days for the silt to drop to the bottom) into my main tanks.

 

Drinking water we get from the roof of the house and into 2 x 3,000 litre stainless steel tanks. We wait at least a week after the heavy rains start to clear all the crap from the roof and gutters. In the 13 years we have been here we have only run out of drinking water once and fixed that by ordering drinking water in the 20 litre bottles and topping the tanks with 100 of those.

 

 

..great set up..i hope the rain gods are kind to you.

In 2016 the government water supply was cut off in December 2015 and stayed off for nearly 6 months.

Out here in rural Khampaeng Phet next to the Mae Wong national park we had a cracker of a thunderstorm around 6 pm last night. As usual the first thing was a power outage for nearly 3 hours. High winds and heavy rain for nearly an hour.

 

The power came back around 8:45 pm but TOT internet was still down when I went to bed. I reported it to the TOT Call Centre  and it was back up at 6:30 am this morning. It was a relief from the heat of the last few days and hopefully the government water will still be flowing at night for a bit longer.

..that's nice dear.

Long term Back to back leases are not actually legal. You can definitely get them, lots of Farang have them (as you can see from some of the replies above).

However, should the Land Owner wish to be "difficult", the back to back lease can be challenged and revoked.

...i think i will go for a 'pre-paid' bulldozer 'instead of a 'pre-paid funeral.'.and have them come in and flatten my house the day after I'm incinerated...if things go to sh*t.

Oh my god, how stupid do they look pushing this silly sub purchase. Thai face means can never go back on it now :-O

Noting is for free so initial pricing was poorly negotiated if can add a free one.

Most important issue in Thailand is water management and corruption control plus sensible expenditure of countries money and these subs are hindering all of those issues. Buck banana is 63 and if you add 6 and 3 together you get an idea of his mental age :-/

..i bet the supplier will get the use of the 'free' one...sort of ties up both ends of the South China Sea.

Horrible. Don't know how people can stand around like that. It's one guy. And I don't wanna hear about how it's the culture and you don't get involved. This is simply wrong and wrong always trumps the 'culture' card.

 

Few days ago I was walking on the pavement and I saw the coffee lady give her 2 year old kid 20 baht to take over to another vendor. The kid was walking close to a busy road so I stood to the left of the kid. I shouted at the lady not to leave her young kid to walk by the road. People looked at me like I was some kind of social reprobate. I'd like to think someone saw and agreed with me. 

 

 

...okay...your a social reprobate.

Outbreaks of summer thundershowers remain over the upper country with possible thunderstorms, gusty winds in following regions:
- North: Uttaradit, Sukhothai, Pichit, Phitsanulok and Phetchabun
- Central: Chai Nat, Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Lop Buri, Saraburi, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi and Ratchaburi including Bangkok and its vicinity.
- Northeast: Udon Thani, Nong Kai, Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan, Kalasin, Maha Sarakham, Roi Et, Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, and Nakhon Ratchasima.
- East: Nakhon Nayok, Prachin Buri, Sa Kaeo, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri and Rayong.
During 19-20 March, outbreaks of summer thunderstorms possibly decrease in the North and the Central while they remain in the Northeast and the East.
People stay safe and keep off outdoor places due to the severe weather conditions.
Continuous extension of high pressure remains the upper Northeast, and the westerly waves covers the North and the upper Northeast of the country forcing up to summer thunderstorm outbreaks.

There's a woman who lives in our Mooban,she has Farang husband,covered

in tatts,seems to spent most of his time in Bangkok,anyway,she told the guard

if big men on motorbikes come asking about me,say nothing,she seems very paranoid

calling the guard 2-3 times a night saying she hears noises outside the house.

Maybe coincidence,who knows,but if she finds this out I am sure she will sleep lot better.
