There's more to this guy than meets the eye in my opinion, Launching his U tube channel in Thailand was actually a stroke of genius. I have met a few of these Mormon missionaries and they all seem to speak pretty good Thai but this guy seems to have a clear understanding of the mind set and sense of humour of an entire generation of the population and is clearly capitalising on it

Well i must admit your question did get me a bit curious so I just did a quick bit of research amongst a few of the family members who have turned up for songkran. according to them there are situations where it would be frowned upon but this is not one of them, I guess the advice given out in tour guides like the "Lonely Planet" etc tends to err on the side of caution

Is there any more water coming out of that pipe now or is it too soon to tell?
-
any pipe from the compressor would not produce much if any water, The water is produced in the evaporator (the component that is situated mounted indoors often wall mounted) The water is produced as condensation when the warm air comes into contact with the cooling coils as the cooler air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air, the same as the windows misting up when you take a hot bath or shower. If the drainpipe was blocked you would eventually either notice water running down the wall inside from the evaporator or maybe even spitting out of the cool air outlet if it came into contact with the fan

He's a very annoying character , at least his youtube persona is , but he's obviously not stupid I say good luck to him , it can't be easy churning out the amount of crap that he does, The jealous and bitter comments from the usual suspects are very predictable As indeed is a sad faced emoji to a post like ths

An air con engineer ( who wasn't trying to sell me one) told me years ago that oversizing the required unit was a bit of a false economy.The reason being that dehumidifying the air in the room is just as important as dropping the temperature. A much larger than required unit will switch off once the required temperature is achieved and as such does not get the chance to reduce the humidity as much as it should, the end result being that a lower temperature is required in order to feel "comfortable" This was a good few years ago before the "inverter" type units were available and I'm not sure if it applies with the newer inverter models , But when I emerge from the bedroom into the non airconditioned living room, it's the humidity that I notice before the heat, it feels like walking through soup

Probably the "wokest" post I have ever read certainly due some sort of an award, One might also speculate that he was just an opportunist thief and a pretty stupid one at that The Thai government can hardly provide for its own people, why on earth should they be expected to support migrants from any country? Especially ones that turn to crime to fund their "better life" or "social climbing"

Well it seems even the UK government can't complain about the illegals coming to Britain, . It makes me sick to hear all these sanctimonious types whingeing on behalf of the immigration authorities here. Virtue signalling at best , and spitefulness at worst, nothing else.

So You have now changed tack again from 600cc sports bikes with a top speed of 130mph to 1970's 50cc mopeds with a power output of around 5 bhp and with a top speed of 40mph or in the case of the honda SS50 35 mph for which drum brakes were perfectly adequate, Jesus rim brakes as fitted to a push bike would have sufficed I must be a little older than you I also had an FS!E as did most of my friends, all of them fitted with drums front and rear. There was one guy who had an SS50 but he was invariably so far behind everybody else that his braking "performance" was never witnessed by the rest of us ! lol Nobody ever had any problems or accidents due to poor brake performance. lol in those days we were more concerned in how "quickly" we could thrash our way around the block, often with one brake completely inoperative! you are the first person I have ever heard using the term "out braking" in relation to 50cc mopeds The disc brakes fitted to the later FS1E-Dx were nothing more than a cosmetic measure designed to appeal to 16 year old boy "racers" as indeed was the appearance of two bolt on brackets designed to mimic a duplex cradle frame. In fact in those days the efficiency of disc brakes was more than a little concerning in wet weather as evidenced by a warning sticker, factory applied to the front forks of the suzuki GT750 I owned in 1979 https://www.isaydingdong.co.uk/ourshop/prod_6155002-Suzuki-GT750-550-380-250-etc-Series-Fork-Leg-Wet-Disc-Brake-Warning-Stickers-35mm-Pair.html It wasn't until several years later when an improvement in brake pad material and the advent of drilled or slotted discs cured this problem Obviously disc brakes are more efficient, ( I have not suggested otherwise) and less susceptible to fade when working hard , But there is the question of proportion and context. The ability to "outbrake" others into the corners in a racing situation is perhaps the main difference between winning and losing, but we are now talking about skilled professionals, extreme braking on motorcycles is not without extreme danger and is a skill in itself and difficult to master , locking the front wheel up is easily done without ABS , a recipe for disaster, and recovering from that situation is well beyond the capabilities of the average tourist on a rental Honda Wave Your obsession with disc brakes is similar to my mrs' faith in the safety value of Buddhist amulets. and there's no convincing her either ! Its not for me to tell you what to ride , it is of course your decision, however I hope your obsession does not stop you looking a little deeper at what you choose to rent, tyres are also important , ever had a loose chain jump the sprocket ? and please don't forget the rear light ! It really isn't all just about disc brakes
