One major issue with Thailand bank apps and all their electronic banking is that they do not guarantee that apps are 100% hack proof. They don't protect the consumer against unauthorized transactions. Even if it is the banks fault of an unauthorized transaction, as indicated in many news articles, the bank will take months to reimburse the victims.

I went through this thread again, and I don't see any recommendations from you other than to clean the rebar connection and in this last post, about getting a insulation tester. The original question has never been answered, "how to find the voltage leak source to the ground wire". The voltage is getting into the ground wire and yes, verified by the using a volt meter and a voltage sensor and if the water valve grounding is disconnected, there is tingling feeling when touching the shower hose. This is not answering the question, what is the source! I am eager to try most any practical solution. What do you think about pulling the neutrals out of the breaker box, and if one neutral stops the voltage into the ground, then examine/replace that circuit or suspect components attached to the circuit?
-
Anybody have any ideas on how to find where the voltage is going to the ground wire, even when all the breakers are turned off?

In the distribution room, rebar is old (30-35 yrs.) completely rusty. I don't have access to the distribution room right now, its locked. What is TT? Tingle disappears when the ground wire is connected to the brass water valve, which controls the water coming into the condo. Could the leak be increasing my electricity consumption/bill?
-
Why do you think it is capacitive coupling when all the breakers are off? I do feel a slight tingle on the shower hose. That big wire connected to the ground bar runs to the power distribution room for the entire floor, and is connected to exposed building rebar. I own the condo. I appreciate your help!

One lead is on the ground circuit, second is on a brass value on the water line. Voltage goes to zero, if the ground circuit is connected to the brass valve. If the ground circuit is not connected to the brass valve, with all breakers on or off, I can feel a slight tingling when touching metallic shower hose. This is in an old condo, and the building has no inherent ground wiring.

It's difficult to judge. The balcony is private property, and one can do as they please on their property. If you are looking from a public space into private property, the looker maybe considered a peeping tom, and therefore committing a crime. Looking into other people's homes isn't polite.

It is 4.5 volts in the ground line. How do I find the source of this voltage? I turn off all the individual breakers, but it doesn't disappear until the main breaker is off.

I don't want to argue with you, but I disagree with your comment. My voltage sensor has proven to very valuable and effective tool when doing any electrical work.

Thai government plans 7% VAT on imported goods from May
Banana7 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's silly to tax goods of small value because the cost and effort to do so is above the value gained. It probably costs 50-100 baht just to calculate and collect the tax, and far more if the tax is not prepaid. So for a 100b item, 7b is tax but costs 50b to collect, so the government loses 43b.- 63 replies

When a voltage sensor is touched to a ground wire, it signals a little bit of AC voltage. I turned off all the individual breakers, try isolating the bleeding circuit, and still the ground wire shows a little bit of voltage. Finally, I turned off the main breaker and now the ground wire shows no voltage. How do I find what is leaking to the ground circuit?

Try LK Metro. Walking street is a late start, 23:00-2400; Chiyapum is also active. Soi 6, should go early, 6 or 7pm, good ones disappear quickly.

Foreign woman criticised for urinating on Bangla Road, Phuket

Chinese dump (#2) on beach road in Pattaya and just walk away. -
In my opinion, all who provide that info to Thai authorities will be a great risk of identity theft or worse. There are lots of stories in the media, about Thai government database info being shared with third parties, and available for purchase on the dark web. Of course, not all data sharing is made public and reported in news media. Even info provided to Thai embassy and immigration, has been provided to third parties, I have personal experience in this matter.

Pattaya City to Close Part of Sukhumvit Road for Construction
Banana7 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I hope they proceed with 24 hours a day 7 days a week construction. That area always has heavy traffic. There seem to be no residential buildings on that section of the road. Lots of times, there is nobody, or only 2 or 3 people, on the job in many of Pattaya's public road construction job sites. Sometimes there is no progress for weeks. -
Looks like there are multiple Sukhawadee House facilities. One did get torn down. Does anyone know what the public beach land depth is from the high water mark?

Beach umbrella operator sparks outrage on Jomtien Beach

Many of motorcycle rental places block public parking spots with various space savers like orange cones, reserving space for bike returns like this guy. Also lots of rental bikes just permanently occupy public parking spaces. -
During Covid there was a court case that said a tourist attraction, with lots of lights, south of Chol Chan resort, was on public beach property and it had to be removed. However, it is still there with multiple signs that indicate 2,000 baht fine if you enter without a ticket. Looks like its the place you mention.

Parents of sa-kaeo gang members bear the brunt of woman's murder

Some the parents pay zero baht. Kid just does community service. Nothing has been done to the Police officer who forced a false confession from the husband. See here: -
Household debt surge impacts property and auto sectors
Banana7 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Bank of Thailand told the banks to avoid NPLs during COVID by offering non-paying customers alternatives, like stop payments on a loan. BOT didn't want Thailand looking bad financially during COVID and was hoping things would get back to normal after COVID. Of course the banks didn't stop accumulating interest on those loans, and interest started compounding upon interest and principal, resulting in a loan balance greater than the original loaned amount. Delaying payments helped some, but lots of people didn't understand the consequences of not paying when due and the Bankers' sympathetic offer to not foreclose during COVID. Borrowers now realize the asset is worth less than the loan balance, so they stop paying, which results in a NPL. Then the Bank takes ownership of the collateral, and tries to sell it. Lots of assets, like used motor vehicles are available, so no need to buy new. -
Some of parents were police officers, not at the low end in terms of status and finances. Definitely at the low end of morality. Life is very cheap in Thailand, according to this judge. Did the judge receive some special consideration from parents, especially the Police officers? Also, what is happening to the Police officers who originally wrongfully charged the husband?
-
No competition here. Well the government of Thailand authorities and news media do read social media, perhaps even aseannow. I am hoping someone takes interests in enforcing the laws around Pattaya for public access to beaches as they are starting to do in Phuket province.

USUFRUCT, tricks and traps?
Banana7 replied to steevjee's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
But the growth in assets and the debts, during marriage, are divided. To be exposed to losing half the growth in assets and gaining half the debt during marriage, will amount to a net loss for me.
