I have had a Skype Sydney number for some years.

instantly get the codes on whatever device I am on.

Friends and family can call me wherever I am for the cost of a local call.

Monthong is by far the most popular in Chanthaburi

what do you mean compulsory?
 

have you found someone that gave you these dimensions?
as others mentioned this sounds undoable
pond will have steps, mine is about 3-4 meters deep and it is about 8m wide total
with the water being about 6m wide
the pond size/depth will be dependant on the digger being used.
the good thing is you can use the soil to raise up other land

PEA can install a service for a modest fee tomorrow.

Off grid will take time and +150k to implement 

350k for red chanote in PKK is fair.

We are on 10 Rai in Chanthaburi.

5 Rai would be more manageable.

PEA access would be compulsory.

Town water not so much.

Land levels at the road are paramount. Your property ideally should be 500mm above current road grade.

A modest dam 12mt deep would give you enough fill to raise the land and potential house site.

Dont worry about the soil too much.

Raised beds with locally acquired amendments will feed your family easily.

Stock the dam with tab Tim.

Life is good.

We raise Redclaws and Quail for the BBq. Goes fine with a frosty Leo.

How will finish the guttering side edge of the panels?

It is regular OTC available at any pharmacy.

Take your current packet to show.

They will know what it is.

Thanks for the post.

Please let us know about your other trials.

No weed shops where we are in Chanthaburi.

Lots of suppliers on Line.

Has been easy finding locals to swap a bag of bud for a beer.

If installed correctly, they are perfectly safe.

 

I have had 14 of them in my house for the past 14 years. 

 

The closest I've come to death by fan was when a bird flew into the living room and was hit by a ceiling fan which was switched on. I was lying below it having a snooze on a sofa. The bird was stunned, fell down, bounced off my shoulder and then fluttered away.

 

They all have remote controls. Convenient, but they fail far too often and have to be replaced. I would go with wall controls if I was installing again.

We have 10 helicopter fans fitted with the standard Rf control and integrated smart switch.

Can use app or voice control in addition to the remote.

Free to good people.
I found them easy as pie to train.
After reading online about their supposed difficulty I thought they would be difficult, not at all.
Excellent walkers, mine run by the bicycle with no issues.
I'm not much of a tricks type of owner, just useful commands but I was surprised how quickly they learnt all the basics.

I've seen a couple of Thai fellas who have trained theirs to walk off lead through the city and shopping centers.

They are truly the most stunning Ridgebacks I have ever seen.

Adopted a dog from the OP - 1 year ago. A Bitch from this litter recently.

Have had Oz Grand Champion and other thoroughbreds over the last 50 years.
These guys are the best natured and most perfect dogs I have ever had.

If you have the right environment, go check out these guy’s 

We have used the same Breville bread maker for 20 years.

12 years on our boat in Thailand and Oz, 8 years living here.

Perfect loaf every time.

We also use the bread maker for mixing specialty loaves dough , like rolls or raisin breads, then bake in the air fryer.

Too easy and you will never want supermarket bread again

I had 25,000 liters of storage next to my house in Issan, I thought it might take weeks or even months to fill.

One good downpour of about 6 hours filled everything to the brim.

I did have eves troughs funneling all the water from the entire roof into the storage though

We have 550sq metres of colourbond for rain collection.

Off grid water.

Third season of upgrading water storage. Currently 30,000 litres, which is enough for a family of 3.

Agree that you can fill all of the tanks with a few storms.

We have an extensive first flush and overflow system into a 1 Rai dam.

We lived on a sailboat for six years between Phuket and Langkawi.

Got a termite infestation at anchor, had the boat gassed to get rid of them.

Discouraging termites from the ground sounds good.

That may not discourage the seasonal swarms.

"Birdhouse" ?

In Chanthaburi they mean it as a house in the sticks, other side of the Black stump, in the jungle…

OK thanks mate, more valuable info I need. When you say a "house pump" and a smaller pump. Could you please explain that a bit more. Would that 150W pump sometimewoodworker posted a link to be sufficient.

We have a Mitsubishi 155.

Single level house.

5 bathrooms.

Longest run is 33 metres from the pump.

Works perfectly .

Have tested running 4 showers simultaneously Ok.

Have a PEA guy who moonlights.

 I am not going to mess with it.

Yes, a N-E bond in the distribution board / consumer unit is correct.

 

It confuses many but in reality, many other countries do the same. In Aus and the US the links are visible, in the UK the link is in the service head and not accessible.

 

The diagram below came from this PEA document (my translations) Groundwire Mk2 book-Manual.pdf

 

Note the routing of the incoming neutral via the ground bar, this is the Thai implementation of MEN (Multiple earthed Neutral). This connection must be before any RCD/RCBO devices or it will cause them to trip constantly.

 

If you require an electrical inspection this is how the inspector expects it to be done.

 

Have you included RCD or RCBO devices in your revised system?

 

 

Wikipedia has a good description of the various earthing systems 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system 

Thailand is generally TNC-S with MEN.

 

 

Seeing my link from E to N was not connected, I made up a link.

Can confirm Crossy’s advice that the RCCB will trip constantly if N incorrectly terminated.

Just gotta figure out how to change it…

2gm of BubbleGummer (strong) 15%+

3gm of Red Diesel (a bit old) 7%

 

THC content is only an estimate.

 

Have smoked one strain per day to sample.

This is excellent weed.across the board. Would be proud if this was my grow.

Certainly rates with the mid range boutique offerings.

My fave was the Tropical Punch….
