I couldn't be bothered. Repetitive nonsense. All the content has been dished out countless times. Absolutely nothing new.

To estimate the number of square meters of solar panels needed to power a medium-sized home with 2 air conditioners (and no electric water heater or stove), let’s break it down. ✅ Step 1: Estimate Daily Electricity Usage Here’s a typical breakdown: Appliance / Load Estimated Daily Use Refrigerator 1.5–2 kWh/day Lighting, plugs, TV, small appliances 2–4 kWh/day 2 Air Conditioners (Split type, ~900W–1200W each, 4–8 hours/day) 6–12 kWh/day WiFi, chargers, etc. ~1 kWh/day Estimated total daily usage: ➡️ 10–18 kWh per day Let’s use 15 kWh/day as a reasonable average. ✅ Step 2: Solar Panel Output (per square meter) Solar panel output depends on: Panel efficiency (average: 18–22%) Sunlight hours per day (Thailand or similar tropical areas: ~5.5–6 peak sun hours/day) Real-world conditions (dust, angle, inverter loss ≈ 20% loss) 1 m² of solar panels typically generates: ➡️ ~150–180 Wh per day (under real-world conditions) Let’s take 160 Wh/day per m² as a working average. ✅ Step 3: Calculate Required Area Daily need: 15,000 Wh Output per m²/day: 160 Wh Required area=15,000160≈93.75 m2\text{Required area} = \frac{15,000}{160} ≈ 93.75 \text{ m}^2Required area=16015,000≈93.75 m2 ✅ Final Estimate: ➡️ Approximately 90–100 m² of solar panels for a medium-sized home with 2 aircons (no electric stove/water heater). 🔧 Notes: If your aircon use is low (e.g., night-only), 70–80 m² may be sufficient. If you use batteries (for nighttime or blackout use), extra panels may be needed. Always check local solar irradiance, roof size, and consult an installer for shading/angle optimizations.

Total waste of time. Nothing new.

Thanks doos. It happened 3 years ago. It was self inflicted. Why waste time on an inquest. To expose what? NN

But the incident happened in 2022?

I smell a rat. It is obvious the arrest clip is staged. AI maybe. There aren't any other people visible. At night?

even still: In modern Britain, it’s nearly impossible to visit a local chip shop without overhearing a heated monologue about “globalist agendas” delivered by someone in a Union Jack gilet, spooning mushy peas as if uncovering government secrets over lunch. The name Nigel Farage inevitably crops up—admired by some as a modern-day Churchill for pub-goers, though he’s arguably more of a media-savvy agitator than a statesman. His influence remains strong in a political climate increasingly defined by grievance, nostalgia, and misinformation. This populist narrative thrives on a cocktail of disillusionment and half-truths. Phrases like “I’m not racist, but…” frequently introduce statements laced with conspiracy theories so far-fetched, they’d give David Icke a run for his money. In these conversations, even the most mundane developments—such as traffic schemes or mild weather warnings—are treated as sinister examples of state control or shadowy global plots. These ideas often originate from unverified sources: anonymous Telegram channels or YouTube personalities masquerading as truth-tellers, many of whom haven’t participated in the democratic process themselves. Since the lockdowns, there’s emerged a peculiar form of public defiance, complete with slogan-plastered hoodies, symbolic gestures like being “milkshaked,” and loud declarations that free speech is under attack—ironically made across platforms with global reach. Every cultural moment becomes another front in an imagined war: whether it's against "wokeness," so-called “remoaners,” or phantom civil service conspiracies. It’s a kind of perpetual outrage theatre, where being loud is mistaken for being right. At the same time, there’s a deep skepticism toward traditional institutions—government, media, academia—while paradoxically embracing questionable content online. Many who voice disdain for elites often support policies that don’t serve their own interests, economically or socially. Scapegoating has become an unfortunate national pastime: whether it’s immigrants, recycling schedules, or Meghan Markle, the ire is misplaced, often conveniently ignoring the real architects of inequality and decline. Despite all this noise, Britain hasn’t lost its essence. What it has done is channel its cultural energy into new, sometimes absurd, directions—like attributing local potholes to global schemes or dismissing factual reporting as bias. The British flair for eccentricity and satire is alive and well, just perhaps misapplied. The path forward lies not in escalating culture wars or doubling down on YouTube-fueled politics, but in rediscovering a more grounded, reasonable discourse. Perhaps it starts with turning down the volume, logging off a little more, and rediscovering the quiet strength in that most British of traditions: a cup of tea and a bit of calm reflection

Lucky for them they were not nabbed here. They woul be facing life sentences.

Come to think of it there was a time not too long ago that this rubbish, 90 day reporting, TM30 was unheard of. You could arrive in Thailand with a one-way ticket, open a bank account, do as many border bounces as you like. No questions asked.

yep

yep

I've been doing non O visas, Marriage and retirement, on my own since 2008. It isn't difficult. Be patient and have all the necessary paperwork sorted.

Yes!! something like that.

Consideration stamp is 30 days after the expiration date of the visa extension date. In the past I got the final stamp within a week or two after my application, without even a home visit. Since 2021 there is always a home visit and I can only get my final stamp on the final date of the consideration stamp.

Lots of fish farms too.

Just an update on the fees to be paid.

Please update us on the renewal phase.

You think I'm English? Teaching English in Thailand? 🙄🫣😂 I honestly don't give a damn. Why is the YouTube on your thread then?

That's you, right? On the thread?

Only 6 people indicated they are on their way to Thailand, in spite of the fact that 20,000 + DTVs were issued since July.

Why then does he link it to his YouTube channel? YouTube is click bait. The OP is not about " A discussion about the pros and cons of living in Thailand" No. It has a sinister title - Many foreigners are leaving Thailand So, immediately you think - Now what? Tax? Poor education? Immigration whims? The heat? Corruption? Bangkok traffic? As I said:- We've been discussing this since ThaiVisa heydays.

Honestly, this is old hat. I've been here for over 23 years. Every 6 months or so the topic comes up. Really? Who gives a f.f. whether you're coming or going. Click bait comes to mind.

What is the point of the OP? It's been like this forever at Makro.

Petrol will do the trick.
