This would essentially measure the resistance of the earth between the two rods. If the measurement is high it would mean there is a probable issue with the earth composition between the two.  Measuring between the new rod and the other test rod should be very close to the first test rod and if not, test between the two test rods.

Those impositions are tiny compared to what is happening in other countries. Just be glad that you can go to a restaurant, or wander around those shopping centers with no fear of getting infected.

I get that wearing a mask is not pleasant, but they might have played some part, along with other factors such as the hot weather, in allowing Thailand to escape the first wave. If so, it is a small price to pay to continue having so much freedom in other, more important ways. Remember, this situation is almost certainly going to last a few years, and could actually hit Thailand pretty hard in the cooler weather.

 

"Hot weather" has been debunked ages ago.  Just ask the people in Florida, Texas, Indonesia or the Philippines.  In some places in the Philippines, like where I live, we have to wear face masks and face shields inside of public places, outside walking and inside transportation.  In the case of a motorcycle, the requirement is a mask, a shield, a helmet and if there are two riders there needs to be a shield between them.  In my city alone, there have been well over 500 arrests for violations.  The penalty is ~ $21 for the first offense and by the time you get to the 3rd offense it is ~ $100 plus jail time.  The Gestapo even enters private property to enforce the rules.  Then, of course, we have nightly curfews too with arrest and detention for violators. 

Is there a possibility that they were referring to the income method?  Many people have said the Bangkok Bank was the best bank for getting the [proper overseas coding.  

I have been fighting this issue for months now.  Multiple different techs have tried without success.  But here are the main possibilities:

1. No or little insulation on the drain line.  Causing condensation on the tube.

2. Dirt on coils 

3. Clogged drain line Needs to be blown out and/or bleach pored down the drain line.

4. Improper installation - make sure the unit is mounted so there is a very slight tilt towards the drain.

5. The one that my techs have not found yet.

I thought drugs were illegal in Thailand.

I'm on Visa amnesty, is it possible to fly to BKK from Phuket ?

Not if you plan on flying to another country on the way.

Surprising then owning 60,000 baht necklace...and I guess health insurance is non existent too ?

And I wonder what kind of visa allows him to live on B30,000 a month?

Do you intend to live permanently in the US with your wife?  There are restrictions on how often and how long she can be out of the US.  I asked if my wife could simply make a trip to the US every year and I was told that it might work for a couple of years but eventually immigration would notice and the green card would be canceled. 

What age?  Age is important.  My daughter moved from US schools in Germany to UK schools at the age of about 13.  At that age she was fine except she had no previous French classes.  At the time, the levels pretty much required French.  So, find out what courses and the levels are in the two countries and see how they compare.  In the early years, it probably doesn't matter.  Also, bullying is a constant issue.  Your son will be different and he MAY be picked on.

I'm surprised the OP was required to scan every page of his passpor

Does it really matter?  I can scan every page of my passport at home with my cheap printer/scanner and do it in < 10 minutes.

I=V/R.  If there was no such thing as over current, there would be no need for circuit breakers.  If you are having voltage spikes you need a surge protector.  Check your outlet to see if the neutral wire is not really a ground/earth wire.  Neutral to ground/earth should be 0.

Change the default language of your phone.  The app languages follows the phone.

You don't speak phone company speak.  It means you get the usable 30gb and then you still get wifi but it will be something like a few hundred K speed and nearly unusable.

I would guess millions of people have fallen for this scam.

And this is what she wound up paying:

Thanks, but I have to include the GF's cut.  I am sure she rounded up from 5001 to 6000 ????

The reason I ask, is not that I want to pay more, it is because if it is too cheap, maybe they didn't actually change the compressor.  Maybe they just changed a belt or adjusted something and charged for a compressor.  You know kind of like buying a 1/2 price phone on Lazada.

My GF in Surin just had her A/C compressor replaced with the total cost of 6000 baht.  That seems low to me, am I wrong?

It is an older Isuzu pickup truck, converted for use as a school bus.

As already stated , about half open and those that are open are quite quiet .

What other info would you like?

Thanks, that was exactly the information I wanted.

8 pages and 99% have nothing to do with the bar status on Loi Kroh.

I was living in CM and DHL insisted that I travel to the airport in Bangkok or mail them my passport.  I did neither but the item was very inexpensive.

I have had great luck with Amazon.  They pre-charge a customs fee on any order.  However, a few weeks later they will refund any excess.  I did this multiple times.

We go it all here in the Philippines,  Raining hard every day for two weeks now.

The four legged kind or the two legged ones?

Air Asia is not one airline.  There is Air Asia Thailand, Air Asia Malaysia, Air Asia Philippines and maybe more.  I found out the hard way.  I flew from Thailand to the Philippines.  At my layover, which was either Hong Kong or Singapore (can't remember),  I had to deplane, collect my bags, exit immigration and then check in again.  All because I departed on 
Thai Air Asia and arrived on Air Asia Philippines. 

Laptops are a commodity and almost all are made in China.  Every brand has models that are good and bad.  You could get Dell model AAAA which is great or get a Dell model BBBB and is nothing but trouble.

Searching for the best brands online is almost useless since most of the websites are fake and probably get paid.

Assuming you are buying in Thailand, go for the best warranty.

Get an SSD (as mentioned above) check your present computer for how much storage you currently use.  128 is probably too small and 1TG is probably too big.

For a mid priced laptop, I would go for an Intel I5 gen 8 or 10, or an AMD Ryzen 3xxx.  Ryzen 4xxx is the best you can get right now but harder to find and more expensive.

Check for the ports and connectivity that need.
