Buy another one on lazada and install it. Fittings are universal. I bought one just to monitor water filling my pool.

Thank you. The most germane reply to the OP yet. Don't take those steps before repairs start and you're tossing the dice.

I'm so tired of articles that start out with headlines like this. Look, the man gets up in the morning and opens his mouth and a bunch of crap falls out. It happens every day and it will continue happening for quite a while.But there's no reason to take any of it very seriously. Of course he does do a lot of bad things but there's no reason to believe that these were plans that he had. He just likes to make commotion and gain attention.

Agreed. Should apply to drugs, abortion, body weight, and so many other things. Except pain never enters my mind. I wouldn't do it because it just looks infantile and disgusting. Looks like a bird ate raspberries and then barfed on their arm or leg. It's also my mind and I have a good cringe and then a laugh inside my mind looking at some of these folks and trying to guess why they think it looks so cool. Same as obese people pretending they can be both fat and healthy and that plus size women are beautiful too. But again, it's their body but I don't have to buy into their self-deception. It's their right to do it and my right to be entertained by it, especially since I care not at all whether it helps or hurts them. Most of them seem desperate to prove something though and just want the attention it brings. The faded, stretched, and sagging ones on the old folks are especially laughable and I even feel a short twitch of sympathy for them. I always wonder if they are still proud of themselves for getting them. The cartoons I watched as a kid portrayed Africans wearing grass skirts with curly hair and bones in their noses. Tats still amuse me the same way. Some obscure native tradition. The world is full of strange folks and these are just a subset, no reason to think of them as any more or less than that. To say it's popular and growing is stretching the truth a bit though.

And you are of course qualified to make such judgments. I forget now if your profession is medicine or psychology. Please inform us.

Unless he gets it confused with Greenland.

Thank you for stating the obvious, which hasn't been obvious in the reply posts before yours. 1. If the piston rings leak the oil is burned, exhaust is dirty. 2. If it goes into the antifreeze ports through the head gasket, then it will eventually show up in radiator overflow bottle. 3. If it's not burned or in the antifreeze then it leaked. 4. It's leaking around the valve cover gasket and must eventually run down over the engine and hit the ground. Put some cardboard under the car when it's parked and even run the engine for a few minutes. If it leaks you will know it. There are no other possibilities except magic.

Wow. What a put down. Did you just make that up or hear your 6 yo brother say it?

No doubt. 1.5% is definitely a landslide. Hmmmm. Not good at math?

Apparently you are.🙂

Totally agree. We should all get excited and have lengthy and deeply emotional discussions about a string of alphabetic charcters and which is correct. I'm all in! For about 5 microseconds. You'll have to carry on without me though as I am engrossed in this thing called a 'life' and can't spare the time for such semantic nonsense.

Ahh, well, I think everybody knows that by now. My wife is Thai. She can purchase the property any time I want if I give her the money. Thanks, but I've been here for 8 years and had a Thai lawyer handle the property transaction.

Precisely correct on all points Proton. My life of luxury now was built on the backs of the folks who rented my properties for years, paying the mortgage plus profit every month. I thank them for it at least once every five years. It's sounds like I am bragging and maybe I am. I'm proud of the fact that I started saving and investing in my mid 20's. My mantra was: I have to get old but I don't have to be poor. My first job out of university in the mid 70's paid a whopping $12,000/yr. I too was renting a house in Houston ($115/month) while buying silver at $5/oz as well as land in Arkansas. We lived without aircon too. Both investments paid large returns. Nobody ever gave me any money and I never inherited any. I just kept up that routine throughout my earning years until I retired at 67 in 2016 when the Orange Clown made his debut. Sold my house last year on the Mango Messiah's return performance. Next step was planting offshore banking and metals vault flags in the early 2000's. Now I will start the process of moving assets out of his reach permanently. I'm still proud to be American, and thankful to have had the best years of life in america, 1950-2010, but at a 5,000 mile remove. Somehow I suspect your backstory is not much different than mine. If so we both paid for our ticket and get to enjoy the ride.

Sure, let's keep the airports smoke free. Now, what do we do about bangkok air quality for those folks who don't live in the airport? A smoke screen if I ever saw one.

Thus leaving the security of your domestic life in the hands and under the control of somebody you have no reason to trust. This oft used argument cuts both ways. There is no 'right way' for every person. Clearly renting is the right way for you. I rented for three years (condo and then house in Chaam) while courting a Thai lady. We've now been together 7 years and I bought my pool villa 20min outside hua hin, 20 minutes from the Khao Tao beach, 10 min from the local fresh market amidst expansive pineapple farms. I own the house outright and have a 90 lease on the land with rights to purchase the land if I want. I have been spending my time and DIY skills in buying tools and improving the house and grounds, which greatly improves my everyday life as well as giving me a sense of accomplishment. I sold my house in America in November and am now using those funds to make my life better every day as well as raising value for my Thai spouse after I pass. Win-win in my book. Deep attic (50") insulation, vented soffits, and turbine vent keep my house pleasant and save on aircon bills. Of course there's no reason to expect Thailand will get hotter but you never know 🤔. New pumps and piping for my pool. New sliding front gate and fence, all SS tubing and anodized aluminum panels. Complete renovation and painting of the concrete perimeter walls around my property. New landscaping and exterior lights. Upgrade to my pool house with windows and shades. New tile in the whole house. New exterior and interior paint. New ceiling fans. New insulated metal roofing over low slope kitchen roof on top of clay tile. New water pump and tanks. Greatly enlarged Koi pond and pump. Exercise equipment for a home gym we both use. Raised beds for the garden. Currently I have 12m of rows with chest high tomato plants bursting with green fruit. 4m row of bell and sweet peppers bigger than my fist. Lettuce okra cucumbers watermelon and cantaloupe plants. I would never do anything like this to rental property yet it vastly, practically immeasurably, increases my pleasure and happiness and that of my wife (we all know the return on that investment! wink wink). I appreciate it all every evening sitting by the pool, sparking a doobie, and watching the sunset far from roads, lights, and noise. She appreciates keeping up our golf-course lawn, raising orchids, tending her avacado and papaya trees. We spend very little time inside the house. The dog enjoys guarding the property and the long walks in the pineapple fields. High dividends for such a small investment as far as I'm concerned. To each his own. You voiced your opinion and I mine. Do what makes you happy Sir. That's the best advice I can give anybody.

I can confirm this. I peed fir 18 hrs and got nothing but a sugar buzz. I hope Trump gets on these things immediately. In other news I'm happy with my toilet and shower pressure so there's that to thank him for. What else? Hmm, can't think of anything

Well I guess there needs to be proof that he was even present. Apparently there is none. Records just show he rented the bike, not that he was riding it.

He's smart enough not to use his tongue. Ya gotta give him that much. That brown smudge on Musk's nose and half of Congress' is indelible now.

I am too. I'm just as serious as he is. He will have to outbid me to own it. There is a battle brewing for sure and I flatly refuse to discuss it with Rubio.

Well, he certainly is setting his priorities on the weighty issues first. In a government as complex as the one he now runs (into the ground) such discernment is vital to success. i expect him to addess my personal complaint about cherry coke not actually containing cherries momentarily. Just wait until he gets to the trivial ones like Medicare and social security. Truly a stable genius.

Wait! The cops can't find drugs so they go to bars searching? I guess when they find some they get them for free. Sounds right. Amazing Thailand.

Have no fear. I was informed today on the forums of the universal high quality of Chinese goods, especially EV products. My entire life experience, here and in America, runs contrary to that. But these members were so persuasive. Of course they already owned said products and no refunds possible. I thought about their arguments for a couple of seconds even.

OK. You make a good case for buying an EV.

Buzz words. China is also good at that. You got all this ftom their wrb site I presume? Not like China has a congenital habit of spreading false information either. I bet they all their products have genuine CE UL CSAetc certification marks on them too like most Chinese products. No chance at all that the manufacturers of such items don't spend the large money to get these items tested and pay for ongoing certifications of their locations and products. I spent the last several years of my career as an electronic design engineer working with American manufacturers to obtain such certs. Never had an Indian or Chinese customer though. I recently saw a phone charger, you know, the ones that catch on fire or kill people sleeping with their ear bud while charging. The label on the charger along with all the intl certification marks added "Made by Apple in California" just in case it wasn't clear enough to buyers. Look, not 100% of what's made in China is junk but if it's not then you'll pay a price for it competitive with western products. Machine tools are a good example. The truth is most consumer stuff is inferior for a reason. It's called price point. They have to export or die. So have you ever noticed any rust on the "stainless steel" products you buy from China? Sure you have. Ever wonder why? Well we've beat this to death and no attitudes have changed. Beam me up Scotty but please not in the chinese transporter. I hate flies.

I guess I'm the only one then. Good for you. You must have good karma, OR all Chinese imports are high quality, inexpensive, and endlessly durable. Sound right? It sure seems like I heard somebody, somewhere, sometime that was not so lucky but I could be mistaken. I do note however that choice of non-chinese sourced goods is difficult in Thailand. It's not as if most of us have any choice. BTW where do you buy your LED lights now? The ones I've bought from China are still crap. I assume the ones you buy meet or exceed the estimated life cycle printed on the carton. Again, the ones I buy never do come close or get very dim very early. Sane fir batteries. It's amazing that western brand goods are even purchased here by naive and ignorant consumers like myself. How can such stores even cover the shipping cost of such goods? Obviously they sell them at a loss to please their customers who erroneously believe they are purchasing quality. Despite such unexpected revelations such as yours, it seems likely that I will continue down the path of my foolish ways. Good thing I can afford it! I like power tools and use several. Why should I pay $200 for Dewalt drill when a Chinese one and replacement batteries for it are so much cheaper, like 50$ ? I just don't have an answer.
