Cannabis Network Gives Health Minister A Warning
JBChiangRai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You're right, my list was from 2021, my mistake & I apologise for that. However, as I said in other posts, the legal uses exclude recreational use & Anutin himself said at the time of removing it from the Narcotic list that recreational use was illegal. Currently, no check is made on what the grower or purchaser is going to do with it, I can see that changing. The entire market is currently recreational use which was never what was intended. The government's own press release said only 0.2% THC and below was legal, I've posted that infographic too. The weed shops can only blame themselves for what might be coming. My friend who has the huge growing operation has said he is now growing for stock as the market seems to have evaporated. -
Cannabis Network Gives Health Minister A Warning
JBChiangRai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not true, cannabis under 0.2% THC was removed from the narcotic list, all imported cannabis wasn't and recreational use still remains illegal. I have already published the ministry's press release listing the conditions referred to in the current narcotic list below. Cannabis over 0.2% is Category 5 on the Narcotics list. -
RCBO is mandated in all new builds. We design & build moo baan and have to fit them, we fit Schneider.

I have a very similar setup, 2 sets of 16, 280AHr batteries with BMS and active balancer. I paid 60k for the batteries delivered "Thailand Special Line" from China so no duty payable, another 20k for my friend to build them in boxes and for BMS/Active Balancer. For a few extra baht I wanted Active Balancing as it works at all SoC, whereas the BMS only passive balances at the end of the charge cycle and I only charge my batteries to 85% and only discharge them in a power cut. My friend labeled the batteries "Orbit" and when I asked him why Orbit, he said "Only Reliable Battery In Thailand". This is one of the batteries. Don't forget, always have them at the same exact voltage before connecting them in parallel.

I think there will be a clarification. The issue is this deferred transfer of earnings from a previous year. They won't be able to investigate every transfer, but they want the right to ask "Explain that you paid tax on this inbound transfer somewhere". As usual they mess up the message and it wouldn't surprise me, the law too.

Cannabis Network Gives Health Minister A Warning
JBChiangRai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The problem is recreational use. Recreational use has never been legal. They removed it as a narcotic providing THC content less than 0.2% and Anutin himself couldn't have been clearer at the time, as he said to CNN... Thai Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he expected legal cannabis production to boost the economy but cautioned that recreational use of the drug remains illegal. “It’s a no,” said Anutin, who is also a deputy prime minister. “We still have regulations under the law that control the consumption, smoking or use of cannabis products in non-productive ways.” Thailand just decriminalized cannabis. But you still can't smoke joints, minister says | CNN The problem is growers and shops didn't listen and followed one another like lemmings. -
Are you thinking of buying a BYD EV?
JBChiangRai replied to DUNROAMIN's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If there is any chance you may move house in the future, then I'd recommend you buy the attached *Lazada/Shopee etc) and tip the installer to fit it next to the charger between the cable to your consumer unit and the charger itself. you can simply unplug it and take it with you when you move. -
Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
JBChiangRai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It was never legalised for recreational use. Anutim also said at the time to CNN... Thai Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he expected legal cannabis production to boost the economy but cautioned that recreational use of the drug remains illegal. “It’s a no,” said Anutin, who is also a deputy prime minister. “We still have regulations under the law that control the consumption, smoking or use of cannabis products in non-productive ways.” Thailand just decriminalized cannabis. But you still can't smoke joints, minister says | CNN People hear what they want to hear, often not what was said. All these Cannabis shops that opened up should have listened carefully instead of following one another like sheeple, or as it will probably turn out, like lemmings. -
Thai PM says use of cannabis must be regulated within six months
JBChiangRai replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Actually, recreational use of any part of the plant with THC >0.2% has never been legal. What does the law say? (post 9 June 2022) The production and consumption of cannabis is permitted for medical and health purposes. It’s also permitted for private recreational use if the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content is below 0.2% by weight. Using cannabis for medical purposes was approved in 2018, but under the new laws it is still illegal to sell or supply any extracts containing more than 0.2% of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the main compound in marijuana which gives the ‘high’. https://fanclubthailand.co.uk/thailands-new-cannabis-laws/ Thai Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he expected legal cannabis production to boost the economy but cautioned that recreational use of the drug remains illegal. “It’s a no,” said Anutin, who is also a deputy prime minister. “We still have regulations under the law that control the consumption, smoking or use of cannabis products in non-productive ways.”Thailand just decriminalized cannabis. But you still can't smoke joints, minister says | CNN What is permitted... for utilization of fibers in accordance with tradition and culture, and only for use within the family, provided that each family is allowed to have not more than one rai [2 ½ rai = 1 acre] of the cultivated land; for commercial or industrial purposes; for medical purposes: for the purposes of study, test, research, or propagation; for the purposes of producing certified seeds -
Asking your nephew might not work. Electricity is different in Thailand, for example, no earth is needed here.

Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
JBChiangRai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He doesn't even need to do that, just state that the law as it stands only allows for flower lower than 0.2% THC, that would do it. -

And will probably allow them to continue, but only supplying and recording the sale on prescription. Massively reduced sales volume will do the rest. -

Supply & Demand. Control the demand with prescriptions and market economics will take care of the rest. -

You stoners don't need to worry. You'll easily get a card/prescription from a doctor, you will know what symptoms to list, pay your consultancy fee and Bob's your uncle. OK, so it'll cost you a couple of 100 baht for a doctors qppointment, it won't break you. There will be a lot less retail outlets though which isn't a bad thing. -

Are you thinking of buying a BYD EV?
JBChiangRai replied to DUNROAMIN's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I drove a low slung EV Sports Car through 18" of water, even the front bumper camera was under water and there were a crowd of people expecting me to get stuck, no ill effects. No saloon cars were getting through, only pickups. -
Solar On-grid Inverter 5kW recommendations please
JBChiangRai replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I have installed 4 of the 6Kw MUST Grid-Tied inverters (3 in 1 house) and my friends have another 3, another friend has a the 15Kw 3 phase version. They are a fanless design, have 2 MPPT, WiFi monitoring and come with a CT coil so you can turn off export. You mention going Hybrid later, be careful what you buy and where you mount it, usually they have fans, sometimes very noisy and the one thing you can guarantee with a Chinese fan is it will stop fanning at some point. Cheapest way is to buy direct from the factory in China and have them shipped "Thailand Special Line" duty free door to door. The chat function on MUST website doesn't work try email. You can also buy on Lazada from TJ Solar who knows as much about the product as most car salespeople in Thailand about their products... -
Are you thinking of buying a BYD EV?
JBChiangRai replied to DUNROAMIN's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The SoH and SoC are reportedly the Battery Management System (BMS). The supplier of the battery also include the BMS and they are considered to be fairly accurate. I am not sure how it is achieved, it could be coulomb counting (as in your smartphone) or it could be by measuring voltage at rest when it knows how much energy you have drawn from the battery and compare it to a pre-stored map, either way, it’s going to be pretty accurate. -

JBChiangRai replied to DUNROAMIN's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Allow me to correct that... Change 7 years to 20 years Change half the original range to 90% of the original range You can check the battery SoH (State of Health) with a cheap tester through the OBD port in all EV's. -
Where you bond to earth and the quality of your earth is important. You have to bond to earth at the earthing rod, not in the house, and you need a good earth. Typically Thai earths can be fairly poor. Especially if a bad site with dry soil or electrician didn't install it fully. I agree with Crossy that something in the street is pulling up your Neutral, but bonding to a good earth at the point of Earth should restore it to Zero. I suspect you have a bad earth

If you have Neutral bonded to Earth at your home and you have a good earth, it's impossible for anything in the street to give you a N-E voltage house-side after your bonding.
