Air pollution reaches ‘unhealthy’ levels in Bangkok
nobodysfriend replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Same procedure as every year ... not even newsworthy anymore ... News would be that there is no , or less pollution , but for this the crop burning would have to stop and vehicles become EV's . -
It is the solar charger ( best is PWM ) , that cuts the batteries off automatically when the voltage drops under 10V or so ... Mine , normal lead acid batteries , do their job for about 5 yrs now . Recently had to replace one because it turned hot . Aircon will make the price for everything ( charger , inverter , batteries , panels , ) go up a lot ... up to you .

Just figure out how many watts you will consume ever day . Buy and install solar panels for at least double that amount . 12, 24 , or 48V , up to you ... Why not make a double roof with the panels on it ? You might not need aircon then . Design the place that there is a possibility of natural air circulation . Use gas for cooking or hot water . For energy storage , you can use the big truck batteries , ( 200Ah = 6500 baht , if you have an old one to exchange , the price lowers to about 4500 baht ) . You will need tom have at least 3 of them , they last about 5 years , ( at least , mine did ) . Choose the inverter that suits your system , plenty available on Lazada ...

Good post , but a virus has neither a metabolism , nor consciousness . It is more like a sophisticated , ever evolving tool . Designed for what purpose and by whom ? Well , my theory is that it is simply a part of the immune system of ... a living planet , that needs to protect itself against a threat ... There are still many things that humans do not know about yet ... Everything is connected ...

The link is an interesting read , even if clearly ' fearmongering ' as a combined infection of Delta and omicron in the same person at the same time did not happen yet . But , as Omicron is a lot different to the Delta strain , it could be a possibility ... That this could create a more lethal ' supervirus ' is , at this point , pure speculation that hopefully , will never happen .

Let's hope so ... but a high transmission rate equals a high possibility of further mutations , what could mean no good ... It's a bit early to celebrate and embrace , isn't it ?

Immigration bust foreigners partying in Bangkok amid "Omicron" fears
nobodysfriend replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I remember , many years ago I wanted to take the bus from Baltimore to NYC , I entered the bus , there have only been black people in it , no driver yet , I sat down and soon after a 150 kg black woman came over to me and told me that this bus is ' only for black people ' and I better get out ... This is a form of apartheid or racism , isn't it ? A party for 'colored people' only seems the same ... but , at the same time I do not have the right to complain about it , as that would be seen as racism , too ... mad world ... A shipping container with a pool table in it ... some people like it hot and packed , I guess ... unavoidable body contact seems to be attractive to some . -
And country folks here nearly all have a gun ... and get high on lao kao ... when drunk and upset by something there is a risk that they use it without even thinking about it ... ( they hardly do anyway ) Is this the right country to retire in ... I am not sure anymore ... may be city life is better ...?

New 90 Day online still Pending ?
nobodysfriend replied to Brick Top's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes . I did it just 6 days before due date ( 13.12 . ) , 3 days later I got an email with the attached TM47 stating that the next report has to be done by march 8th . That saved me a lot of trouble as my immigration ( Phang Nga ) did not put the dates of my latest extension ( 13oct 2022 ) in their system , and when I tried to do the 90 day reporting via the phone app , it said I was on overstay and need to contact immigration . I did this , had to talk to some school girl who hardly spoke any english and hung up while I was still explaining ... arrogant and ignorant ... how can they let so unqualified persons work in an immigration office that is supposed to regularly deal with foreigners ? Anyway , the new online reporting saved me a 300 km round trip , and I am thankful for that . But , after all , the 90 day reporting is just a needless hurdle put up for foreigners , as the morchana phone app provides them with actual data of where somebody stays . All this system is designed to scare foreigners of being deported or jailed if they fail to submit their illogical requirements . There are other countries more open and welcoming foreigners than xenophobic Thailand . Shame on them . -
If Omicron is mild , does not cause serious disease and is bound to replace the more dangerous Delta strain , it might be good news as people infected bu Omicron will develop antibodies that protect them , at least for a while ... High infection rate , mild processes ... that will lead to the famous ' herd immunity ' and could mean the end of the virus ... if the Omicron virus does not further mutate , ( and there is a chance for this given the high transmission rate ) , into a more dangerous version ... Let's hope for the best ...

That is ridiculous . Who will be able to count this ? ...14999 ... 15000 ... closed . Some of the people will leaving , more will want to join in ... nobody can control this , as it will take place in an open space . Anyway limiting the number of attendees to 15000 will help reduce the spread of the virus ? It's a mad world .

Hope for same-sex marriage still a faint glimmer in Thailand
nobodysfriend replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Backwards orientated , as ever ... People work , pay their taxes , do what they are supposed ( by the government ) to do ... It is of no importance at all what their sexual preferences are ( if not paedophile , of course ) . If a man loves a man , a woman loves a woman , it is their PRIVATE LIFE , and the dinosaurs of the government should keep their nose out of it . Not their business .- 197 replies

Thailand plans to make cannabis plant fully usable next year
nobodysfriend replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It will need another , non military government , to legalize it completely . THC has consciousness enlarging effects and this is not wanted . I do not smoke , but use it to make a tea , and the effects of it help me to find out what is really important to me , and the little bugging daily problems suddenly appear as what the really are , not important . And solutions can easily be found . It changes the 'point of view ' that you are used to , and that is a good thing . Your neighbor makes a lot of noise at night ? It makes you angry ? Don't be , let it be , have a tea and you'll sleep good ... just laugh about it .- 35 replies

1st 90 day report............
nobodysfriend replied to SunsetT's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can do it online now : https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add ... and , incredible , it works ! Just need to wait about 3 days to get a response with your TM47 attached to the email . I am not 100% sure if that this ok for the FIRST 90 day reporting ... -
Thanks for this . ... and for this , too ! Written with a great sense of humor , it was fun to read . Rooster managed to put the facts on the table , in an enjoyable manner . It is true that certain doubts about the future development of the Covid crisis persist ... may be , in the long run , the perpetual booster shots do more damage to the human immune system than the virus itself ? Time will tell ... All in all a very enjoyable read , thanks again .
