Amen. I've slipped on too many bathroom tiles here. We bought three high quality bathroom mats for each bathroom. They are now several years old and still doing well. Even tiles with a textured surface are dangerous.

I would avoid such 'wonder' treatments like glop for insulation. Mostly they are scams. At worst they work poorly and add little value. Flying roof over tile WITH REAL insulation solves your problem for good. The corrogated metal is strong and 'standing ' seam make it virtually waterproof. If two roofs don't keepout the rain then the situation is indeed hopeless! My kitchen is easily 10F cooler than it was with the tile roof. And yes, you can easily walk on it.

It is sheet steel but powder coat painted for weather durability. Frankly I prefer painted steel. We live near the coast and salt air eats aluminum, turning it into white powder. Aluminum will be a lot more expensive as well. I think these are referred to as flying roofs because they cut a hole in the clay tiles and welded a steel frame above the tiles a few inches to support the steel roofing. I asked for a bit more headroom to insert the insulation. Good luck.

The kitchen attached to our house has a low slope roof. We battled leaks until I gave up on the clay tiles and had a steel roof added over them. I put fiberglass insulation between the two roofs. The inside ceiling had to be replaced from water damage so we put insulation between it and the underside of the clay tiles also. It faces south south and got very hot in season. Now it's cool and definitely waterproof. The clay tiles on the rest of the house don't leak, but are at a much greater slope. If I need work done on the roof from now on I'll never use clay tiles again. Soffit vents are a great idea but forget about that silly reflective paper nonsense. Soffit vents work best if the roof has a turbine or gable vent to allow full circulation from the soffits out the vent. The fiberglass insulation has reflective mylar on both sides, and I used two layers for a total of R52 value. The cost of such insulation (~200฿/roll) is trivial compared to installation labor. I'm very high on insulation. It never wears out, needs no batteries, and more than pays for itself in a year or two. Best investment you can make in Thailand.

How can one be educated by assumptions and speculation? There are no facts whatsoever concerning any kind of diety. The primary requirement of all religions is belief, that is, accepting something as truth without even the slightest shred of evidence. This is also called gullibility. It's all just wishful thinking. Humans excel at deceiving themselves and others; it's our super power.

I and wife both noticed separately that we have not gotten the usual mail receipt for paying our electric bill with Prachuap Kirikhan PEA for at least the last month. We pay by direct deposit, as we have done for more than a year. So maybe it's a new thing.

Moderators : please give this guy his own forum and deactivate all replies so he can produce 100% of the content instead of only 90%. That way it will be easier to skip over while browsing topics. I can only imagine that he must sit and mumble to himself all day and night. A Legend in his own mind.

I know it's time to call the yard guys to trim the hedges when I accumulate 5-6 Leo boxes full of empty bottles. They do the hedges and take the bottles away with a smile.

While this cactus has hallucinogenic properties, preparation of it is EXTREMELY laborious,takes large quantities, and the quality of the experience dirty and weak compared to mushrooms. That said, it grows everywhere in Thailand. I've seen 10 ft plants in unused lots in Cha Am for instance.. Buy spore syringes online and just grow mushrooms on rice media. I've done it several times with great results. Lots of info on the web about both.

Ghostery Dawn is the best for privacy but Brave is almost as good.

Exactly! Enough of this. When will the Moon Mission launch?

A core facet of the CCP plan for global domination, which they transparently admit to. It has been underway for decades and is very successful to date. To be fair though, this strategy has been a tenet of Islam for thousands of years. They simply infiltrate a country and start shucking out babies. It takes longer but is foolproof. They currently outnumber the Chinese in global population yet distributed more evenly across the world than the Chinese will be for years to come. Naturally the CCP understands this and takes strenuous measures to contain them in their own country.

It's just what the CCP does. Even if it's the same as what China does (in this case requiring Vax proof) they still act outraged. They always play both the 'victim' and the 'bully' cards, sometimes simultaneously. To the CCP everything is war and everywhere a battlefield. It's their core philosophy.

They have a beautiful web site. I spent an hour cruising it. Then decided to place an order. When I tried to open an account and got to the country shipping address I was disappointed to find that Thailand was not on the drop down list. Nearly all are European countries. Nothing in SE Asia at all that I can see. Very curious why you recommended it. What am I missing? They state clearly that they don't ship countries not on the list? Apparently you indicate that this is not true. Do you have a workaround? Thanks

The same tactic was wildly successful for China in early 2020.

Agreed. Likely carrying batteries in truck as well. Also I assume that only one or two panels at most were exposed to sun, so output was low. Conceivably IF all the cells were active and output WIRES partially shorted (as in fairly low resistance connection) enough I2R energy MAY have been available to burn wire insulation. But again, not enough combustible material on wires to cause a fire like this. Too many 'Ifs': I'm going with the battery scenario.

I got tired of going to convenience stores to pay my electric bill. Often it didn't scan and I had to to another store. I took the same route you did, two trips to PEA office and one to bank, as you said. Been working grsy for over a year.

I can sympathize. It must be crushing to realize that the rest of the planet does not consider you the sole fount of all knowledge. But just keep trying and smiling and one day you will be recognized as the omniscient authority you truly are.
