The Fugitive

Bizarre region. It only rains overnight. Although it's wetter it's less humid than other regions. Or so I've been told!

Racist against your own race?

To simplify, solar activity has to change for decades for it to have any effect upon earth temperature.

Interesting. Therefore nothing to do with Global Warming causing Climate Change. The reason we are hotter is because someone's throwing more coal on the fire!

Racism isn't to do with appearance. It's to do with how people behave (or don't).

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are the best IMHO. They will almost certainly see most of us out!

My Big C incorporates shops for the ISP/Mobile 'phone networks and also many independent stalls. There is also a guy who appears to do repairs (only). Very few customers around whenever we go. I guess you would have to decide exactly which model you want beforehand, then go to each and be prepared to haggle.

Worked with a guy who played squash tournaments. Looked at least 10 years younger than his age. Went home from the office one evening and never returned. He was 58.

Feel sorry for them. Hard work. All 7/11's I've been in seem always very busy. They have the microwaves and an oven to operate too. Enduring the chime and 'Hello and welcome' every few seconds must be absolute torture.

Absolute bargain!

A poor PE teacher had something to do with it. Mocking instead of encouraging even slight improvement doesn't help.

God?

Thai mother-in-law had Parkinson's Disease amongst other conditions such as one kidney. Managed very well IMHO. Her medications continuously reviewed and tweaked. She went into general decline at 76 and didn't look good at all. The end came just weeks later from an accidental head injury.

Don't know about their air conditioners but their washing machines were first class. At least they were when we sold them at the Electricity Board during the 1980's!

My Thai nephew volunteered the year before last. His job in Japan came to an end because he wasn't able to pass the next level of Japanese language required. He served 12 months at the 23rd Military Circle base which houses a military court. He said he enjoyed it but not enough to enlist as a regular.

Thank you for the clarification.

Interesting thank you! Am I correct in thinking that your installer is not 'approved' by PEA but, in view of the upcoming changes already mentioned in this thread, can ensure that your system is acceptable to the PEA and thus qualifies for FIT payments? Their fee for this service being 20,000 baht?

With mine it began at age 43 with the greatest numbers going between 57 and 60.

As electricity becomes free for some (after initial outlay) demand will increase. Air conditioners are becoming cheaper, therefore more numerous and run for longer or even continuously. Then there is charging of electric vehicles. How quickly will battery technology develop? Tidal, geo-thermal and even wind turbines would be the ideal to cover the hours of darkness, but at what cost?

Similar happened to me last year. However, it was using my stored UK credit card on AliExpress. A test purchase for only six USD was made and the item delivered to an address in Moldova. I was too slow to stop this but thereafter cancelled my UK credit card and received reimbursement from my bank. It was afterwards entertaining watching the hackers load up the cart with selected items but being unable to pay. Fortunately, I only ever used/saved that one card.

Very helpful, thank you.

I bought a shop-sized 'IceKool' evaporation cooler. It was 17,000 baht but spoke to the shop manager who accepted 15,000. Fill it with a hose pipe. Only use it outside because of the noise. Definitely effective.

So do I. It's effective enough in the cooler hot weather! Unfortunately, my Mrs usually checks the settings. She doesn't understand how dry = cooling/comfort. She always resets the mode to cool and also lowers the temperature setting by a few degrees for good measure. Need to find a way to disguise the real settings. Is there such thing as a 'deceptive' remote?

Many thanks! Stepdaughter used her iPad to set up an Apple ID for her Mum.

I have a similar Aconatic and also 7,000 btu Portable Air Conditioner. Works well; https://www.powerbuy.co.th/en/product/aconatic-แอร์เคลื่อนที่-aconatic-anpac07la-229147
