People here are saying that 300 batt will deter tourist from coming well I don’t believe that for a minute. The type of people that go to Thailand will just bite there lip and pay up. I mean would you say O it costs £7 (that’s about 2/3 lady drinks which is another scam and another story) more to go to Thailand so Ile go to Vietnam/Cambodia save the money. When air fair prices vary by more than this amount depending at what time you book and deals you can pick up. Don’t get me wrong I don’t support it; it’s just another scam to get Falangs money.

What I want to know is how will it be collected? Will it be in the ticket or added to the leaving tax (which is not noticed because it’s in the ticket) lining up to pay your 300 Batt will just create more time wasting and ques in the entry foyer. Just add it to the air ticket which has taxes already on it (just increase the tax no one will notice) or to the leaving tax. Over the course of things airport taxes, security taxes, VAT it’s just another inflationary charge which will be absorbed and not noticed.

NEVER trust house wiring in this country. In my houses the FIRST thing installed is a simple 200Baht Knife switch between the meter and the house. Flip that and both the hot and neutral wires are completely disconnected from the mains. No possibility of a shock then.

 

Was it that type made in China (see pic) with exposed contacts like the old Frankenstein switches? If yes then these types are lethal with exposed live terminals.

Always be weary of these neon screwdrivers as they can give you false reading better use a volt meter.

How could you even reward the idiot the title of electrician Boger, Cowboy, idiot, half-wit, bright spark? Anything but a professional electrician.

 It’s their own fault when the crossing lights were introduced the Thais tended to heed the lights and stopped but the police turned them off clamming it slowed the traffic and they stayed green all the time. (Or they just stopped working all together and didn’t fix them) So the drivers were accepting them and stopping but it lost its momentum of learning when they only worked erratically. Buy the way I found they don’t stop in France as well.

i have a question is Kev a smoker? looking at what look likes tar/nicotine stains on his bottom teeth. Everyone knows the risks of smoking. just look at the Thai cigaret packets.
