  1. Corruption in Asia? Compared to what, Russia, China or USA ... lol, most of Asia hasn't yet embraced western methods. Next election may see Thailand move closer to corruption obscurity.
  2. Same in the North but I had heard different of deepest darkest Isaan, especially Ubon.
  3. I recall some time last year a rule was talked about, mainly for Bangkok AFAIK, that everyone must wear a mask when out in public (fair enough) but seemed to extend to private car driver and pax. Now I can fully appreciate taxi's and buses requiring masks, but did this rule apply to personal vehicles, say husband & wife driving with all windows up? If so, was it gazetted? And does it apply in Ubon Ratchathani and Yasothon provinces?
  4. Don't forget the bigger picture. Anutin pandering to voters wishes at every turn. Prayuth is on the back foot.
  5. LOL. You were duped old man, well and truly, like so many. Yinn was a figment of an Australian's fertile imagination and he played you well.
  6. Sinopharm walk in at Klaimor only 2k bt, 2 shots. Fast and a safer product IMO.
  7. Offline for maintenance. Didn't work initially but may do so in future. TIT
  8. There is no crawl space. Upstairs bedroom and downstairs lounge must have all installation done from below the ceiling. UFO http://www.mrken-fan.com/product-detail/172
  9. To fit a ceiling fan as described by the OP is not difficult as the ceiling will almost certainly be suspended below a concrete slab floor with approx 25cm cavity. Easy way to check is to remove one ceiling light and establish the depth, plus, if one has a suitible fish, you could check to see there are no beams obstructing the centre of the ceiling. A good installer should insert (above the drywall) a load spreader to affix the fan to. There are several ways to do this and I'm not able to describe adequately in print form. As for electric supply, buy a remote control which allows power to be tapped off the lighting circuit. Easy.
  10. Andrew, you no doubt purchased the wrong fan, easily done as even in showroom conditions you will seldom experience a good demonstration of air flow. Modern fancy designs which look great, are among the worst performers, especially those usually stocked in the B & B homeware s store. We discovered the Mr Ken 4 bladed UFO design to be the best in our last house and installed 11 of them in the new house. The air flow even on 50% power is suffient to cover a 4m x 4m area. Remote control is a good option.
  11. Pak kanar aka Chinese broccoli. Excellent steamed and served with oyster sauce or stir fried with Moo grob.
  12. Sex education begins at home ...... . . . . ..... someone else's home ????
  13. You are correct, one seldom hears about gas explosions, house fires or other such mundane daily disasters. Doesn't mean they don't happed, because they certainly do and the owner/occupiers are seldom around afterward to complain. The photo below is of a gas explosion in NZ due to a faulty appliance installation and shows the destructive force of a gas leak. Actual cylinder explosions are even worse.
  14. Last house I had exactly that set-up. Local Chiang Mai gas fitter installed copper from open garage area to kitchen above and teed it off to the balcony for a bbq. Hidden pipes installed during construction. We used a different company for this new house with the same arrangement for pool-side cabana and bbq but the company insisted on gal pipe for under-house ~ 8m supply to my internal kitchen. This was from a separate twin tank supply in an alcove on rear of house. The gal pipe was recommended for safety running a long distance under the 1.2m high enclosed under-floor space. A Chiang Mai gas fittings supply shop recommended several gas fitters who use copper, so perhaps you could start with inquiries at a similar outlet in your area,
  15. I know some people simply disabled the app and there were no repercussions. I'd be turning them both off, same as running out of battery, no?
  16. If it's a sophisticated Huawei-type system it may be either hard-wired or wifi. If the former, multiple camera connections will be on rear of the NVR, simply unplug the ethernet to modem cable and it still records but doesn't broadcast via the 'net. If totally wifi, use the vaseline on camera lens trick.
