100% agree. He did surgery on me 3 weeks ago.

This is right up my ally with info I need.... I have been banging my head against the wall with PEA trying to sell excess solar on my 10Kw system. Ive had a Smart Meter finally installed 6 weeks ago. Burriram PEA now saying can only export to 3 phase power lines. My system is single phase. Told to contact Bangkok PEA for advise through their web site. Ran out of steam after trying to send them an e-mail 3 times and the web page just said unavailable at this time!!! @4myr is your system single phase? @Crossy thanks for mentioning me now I have found this thread. Time for the Issan Luv Machine to get on the phone. I'm exporting around 30Kwh each day now with blue sky's and no air-con running.

Yes have received a bill and studied it as I do. The bill had a slightly different layout to normal as it showed both the old meter usage + the new digital usage. Could not see any export charges. Thanks for letting us know.

My power from the grid was put underground in conduit no problem.

From Burriram. I got busted with an old reverse spinning disk meter about 3 years ago. PEA turned up about a week later and installed a one way meter. There was no fines or anything like that. Have just had a digital meter installed now which I have been trying to get one ever since they took the reverse spinning meter away. There is an on-mass roll out of meters happening everywhere around Issan. Scrolling through the digital meter menu it shows the export power reading is greater than the import. Long story but since my Solar installation 10Kw I have got nowhere with PEA purchasing the export power. I am now in the process of bypassing the local PEA and going through their Bangkok headquarters. I doubt I will get anywhere but things are changing ever so slowly here.

My worst experience is the one I picked never left the toilet seat up when finished.

@MJCM and OP. Regarding meters there's still no show with my digital meter. 3 years waiting now. It just so happens though I visited PEA Nang Rong Burriram about 6 weeks ago to hassle them for a digital meter again! again! again! and they had a tent set up displaying the new digital meters which where to be installed everywhere. Since then I have seen them being installed en-mass in surrounding villages. Just yesterday I noticed our village starting to get them. I'm guessing within the next couple of weeks or sooner we will finally get one. What I am hearing now is even though we will get one we still wont be able to export as there is no 3 phase only single phase passing our Bahn. Absolutely crazy the excuses they come up with. TiT... Since my 10kw system was installed 2021 I have exported 21.59Mwh of single phase power and Im wasting power with A/C running all day because I can. If I did get the 2.2bht supposed rebate I would have made 21590Kwh x 2.2bht=47498bht. Again I'm wasting power for no need.

So the Bangkok Hilton is not a bad place to stay after all... I will have to check my health insurance coverage for chopper flight coverage and medical.

I want to start a "Go Fund Me Page". I'm donating a bottle of "M Loy Ha Sip" to kick it off...

I had same issue with Bangkok Bank book not displaying FTT. Contacted wise via e-mail and explained I had been using the drop down menu clicking Long Term Stay and that it was a Visa requirement to show transaction as a FTT. Wise made a note on my account to only transfer to Bangkok Bank which since doing so maybe 2 years ago it has worked fine. If funds are sent to another Thai bank which can happen and then transfered to your bank (BKK Bank) it shows as a Inter Bank Transfer not FTT

Is that video recorder Intrinsically safe???

Try bleeding air out of the highest point. Air can mess with the pressure switch big time. There should be an air bleed valve to do this.

Great News. I don't have to fix my bike...headlight...blinkers...tail light... break light...anytime soon... Luv Thailand

Watching with Interest in results... Last update Live 11.10...? Is this Live coverage??? Now 21.00 Hrs??? Result should be out by now...

Has been 2 years now waiting for a digital meter... Countless phone calls and a visit in person to local PEA Nang Rong 6 months ago. Digital Meter was paid for up front 2500bht with the Soar instillation as a package. Had a visit from PEA and they checked the installation out also. Now I'm seeing digital meters around the place and am told they are only for new installations!!!! Am traveling back to Ozz soon and when I return in May with the Issan Luv Machine we will start hounding them again. Looking at last years export 6.64Mwh (@2 Bht return 1kw) and Import of 4.05Mwh if PEA came to the party we would only have paid for .73Mwh consumption. All legit...

Mine's for sale to the highest bidder...... Starting price 1 satang.... GO FUND ME....... offer closes soon... unused....!! Safer than Bitcoin with better returns guaranteed.

100% correct... No Problems.... You will get a stamp acknowledging your arrival into Thailand with a multi entry visa so your 90 day report starts from that day.

Yeah there is a lot of myth about burning Eucalyptus. The Ozzy aborigines have been cooking with it for thousands of years.

Gum tree leaf from eucalyptus trees in abundance in Issan. Good for smoking!

How do they exchange Russian Ruble for Thai Baht??? The exchange rate is 0.

@Hummin I adjust the windscreen on the Forza all the time depending on speed/location. First time I have had a bike where you can adjust airflow with a push of the button... The ADV does sound nice though with suspension.

There are windscreens and there are windscreens. The link with ADV pick of the 3 bikes above comments about the shirt being sucked forward @piston broke . That is a good designed windscreen with air flow. The Forza has excellent air flow also with my shirt being sucked forward. An advantage over the ADV is that Forza has push button control to adjust windscreen height while on the move. ADV looks like you have to stop and manually adjust the height from what I see in video link.

@Proper person what is the buffeting difference like between the Forza and the ADV at speed?

Yes correct. On Hold for the time being. Ended up buying a motorbike. When and if the digital meter happens the excess we are exporting during the dry season should carry us mostly through the high power usage months around Songkran.

That's true. Still waiting. Big mistake being blasé. Have done visits in person to PEA and numerous phone calls after taking photo's of recently installed digital meter's around the local area that I have found here in Issan. I payed for mine over two years ago 2,500Bht but cannot hab as only for new instillations...!! So I exported something like 30Kwh today into the grid because I cannot use.... and....... This is Thailand..... Don't mention the WAR.... Maybe not to far down the track it will happen with a digital meter.. Dreaming me thinks.....
