Anyone know where I can buy a proper first aid kit in the Bkk or Samut Prakan area?

Yes, I would say most of the members are more experienced with bra removal than fitting.

Hopefully next time you'll see the matching outlets

 

Haco Thailand do them http://www.hacothailand.com/product-list.php?type_id=1&type_name=Switches %26 Sockets

 

Various codes A8-G132, LK 65431, LK 65421, LK 65421, M4-G20, M3-G10

 

If you can't find them locally Lazada may be your friend but their search engine sucks (or it does when I try it).

They did have the sockets/outlets to.

Yes the Lazada search can be very hit or miss. 

2200w heating element, temperature controler, timer and a solenoid valve. So thinking about 12A  

I have melted my fair share of US style plugs on 1000-1500W  space heaters. I  am sure the original design and engineering  say they are good for 15-16A  but once manufactured by the lowest price bidder not so much.

Seen the Schuko 16A plugs at Hardware House today. Every time I go there I see something different.

Need to find the appropriate plugs and sockets for near 15A. Need to change a couple plugs from Nema 6-15 to whatever local standard would be. 

OK so the new laptop is promoting me to buy the Office suite as my 30 days are almost up.  What is the best, safest, cheapest way of doing this? Buy right from Microsoft, get friend or relative to buy key and send me the number or is there a good local option?

Another option to diy a socket good for medium duty is to make one from some  steel tube. If you can find something else like a nut, bolt or fitting that is the same size and a pice of tube somewhere  in between  the  size flat to flat and point to point. You can rough out something by hammering the tube over the hex.

I think  there was one at the SCB  exchange  booth  before passport control.

Not true at all.  (Edit:  Well, at least not universally true)  High speed and low friction bearings thrive on oil.  Put grease into a fishing reel spool end bearing, and you won't be able to cast more than a few feet.

 

Agreed. There  are  many  that  run in oil baths or pressurized  oil  systems.  Small  amounts of  real  oil to soften dried  grease  is normally  fine. I  think  where  the  no oil  in bearings  comes  from is the miss use  of  everyone's  old  friend  WD40  People  would  over  use  it  and wash whatever grease and oil  out of the bearing. It would  fail, they  would  think  but I oiled  it with  WD40 oil must  be  bad for  bearings. 

For something like a Pizza oven you probably don't really need 3 phase. It is most likely only 3 phase to balance out the large load of the heating elements. The question then is how many amps is it on 3phase and how many amps is your single phase service? 

Don't know if this is any help but believe it is some type of government skills development program.  http://www.dsd.go.th/

Anyone know where to get a large LPG tank in the 1 to 2 ton range? 

 FedEx took over Kinkos.  I think they do offer what you need if you dig for it.  I believe the UPS Stores offer that to.

You didn't say whether it was the very best or the very worst ...

 

 

Well I can't say it is the best Christmas song but it is a mix of two great bands. 

I would also say any of the western based chains like Marriott. I would think they see a slightly higher percent of English speaking travelers because of brand recognition and people that are members of there points programs.

I am from the area CJ started so ate it many times.

It does not seem to be catching on here.  Like I mentioned, the name recognition is limited.  It is a much smaller franchise then their competitors.

Would not be surprised if they left as I never see many people in their places and the " no meat" issue is a joke.

 

I would love to see an In and Out burger here but I know no way Jose.

Usually my first stop when I am back home.

Yes I was quit surprised to see Carl's jr in Thailand. My only real exposer to them has been at the Airport in Vegas. They have been my standard red eye flight prep for a couple of years now.  Some brands have made bigger names overseas. When was the last time you seen a Kenny Rogers Roasters in the US? 

Not the best or worst. But a Canadian classic. 

Don't know if this will help you any but saved the link from another thread.  https://www.es.co.th/index.asp

Forgot to mention it is also used in 3 way light switches where red is your traveler. Also common to use it for celling fans with lights to run from the wall up to the celling box so you can have two switches.     

Black, Red, White is the standard color code for North American so called split phase 220v  Black and Red are both live at 110v and white is Neutral   

Are you sure it is not Ontario, California? 

Thank you Sheryl

Yes there are better things I could be taking for the back. But seeing what all the pills did to my Grandmother and Aunt I try to deal with it as drug free as possible. A bottle of the Acetaminophen/Methocarbamol normally lasts about a year at 80 pills for <B130 from Costco the last thing I had from the Doctor was only slightly better but >B50 a pill here. 

Currently in Canada. Was looking for second phone for when I come to Thailand in January. Posts where most likely made about 5am here. Hence my slip of using $ not Bhat.   Cubot H3 was about B3900    

I take one tablet of Famotidine 20mg a day for acid reflux and I occasionally take a Acetaminophen 500mg/Methocarbamol 40mg tablets for my back. Is there any problems bringing these in to Thailand? Are they available there?
