If you don't mention the type of drain trap they typically install the common asian style which really don't work well

Actually putting in floor drains now could be more difficult than you think in a condo. You don't own the floor slab in a condo and depending on building design and construction it may be a pre\ post tension floor slab which may have cables running thru it as part of the main building structure and support. You would need to contact the building engineer for approval as long (and info) and have the floor x rayed to ensure you don't cut a cable and blow out the side of the building. (Ask me how I know this) Also if you do add floor drains, use a p trap rather than an adisn stay drain to eliminate odor blowback from the sewer line.

It would be smart to make sure the policy covers asymptomatic quarantine before you buy it.

The AARP United Advantage plan has a couple of levels or options available for an additional fee. Base plan include part B and drug, eye and dental at no additional cost. I say no additional as the regular Medicare Part A is mandatory and deducted from your SSI payments so that money goes out even if you just enroll in Part A Medicare. You're better off taking an advantage plan as a minimum and have that coverage available in the USA.

AXA, TUNE, Mr Prakan Insurance all had policies 2 days ago that offer asymptomatic coverage. There was a 4th company I looked at but can't remember the name now. Prices have gone up though and coverage amount has fallen due to the reg change. It does cost more and must be an approve medical site, hospitels qualify since they are regulated by the govt health system but aq hotels does not. There was an article in the news just yesterday how most thailand insurers have dropped that part of their coverage as they had losses on up to 4% of there policies issued this last year due to delta and now Omicron. I believe It's still available but you will need to shop and it probably won't be on Thai policies. Ask the questions and get a straight answer or don't buy the insurance

They quote up to 7 days turnaround not 2 its on the websites

One key factor you really should confirm is will the policy cover you in case you test positive and have no symptoms and get quarantined (asymptomatic coverage) many policies offer covid coverage but only if medically necessary with symptoms. Axa and a few others cover you for Asymptomatic quarantind but many don't and that's not a surprise you want to get

Ask you landlord to add their tax ID to the rental or lease agreement. They may decline as they are probably not declaring the rental and paying tax

I believe the issue revolves around the certificate statement supplied be the insurer must state specifically that the policy covers you in thailand for covid at the appropriate dollar amounts. If it does not have that langue specifically it won't be accepted. Also you need to confirm direct with the Insurer they cover asyptomatic quarantine. Try AXA insurance.

Or people should plan ahead and be prepared for testing positive and all that comes with it. Traveling during a worldwide pandemic and then acting surprised if something goes wrong is there own choice\fault. None of the testing or qurantine practices are a secret, it's all been in the news and media for over a year. granted immigration should not charge overstay that is specifically related to qurantine issue and I think you'll probably see that change quickly.

That's because it does not open and start again until Feb 1. That's the starting date to register

Smart travelers will still buy Covid insurance that covers asymptomatic quarantine if testing positive as the new variant seems to have fewer symptoms. The 50k health insurance won't cover it so you may consider staying with a higher 100k Covid insurance and not risk the cash outlay should you test positive without symptoms. Just my opinion

Under what's already been written in fds regs growers can not keep or distribut bud\flower. Those must be turned into the govt at harvest. Only leaf, stems, stalk and root can be processed

Hahahaha madam is one of my stumbling blocks in this venture as it's her project but my headache! I'm sure you know what I mean

No we have the digital meter. I think that diy system thread was the one I saw but can't find it. I'll shoot him a message on it. I'm in Nakhon Si Thammarat so we have pretty good sun for most of the year so a grid tie in should work, I'm just not knowledgeable enough (and lazy if someone else did it) to spec it out

I have 3 ponds, each is 75' x 25' x 6' so it's a bunch of gallons in total, over 200,000. I have catfish, tilapia and koi. Luckily I'm pushing the water horizontal the 100 feet other than the pull from the pond is 3 feet deep. Yeah I've experimented with the run times but to keep the cycle flowing thru the 3 ponds (there interconnected) it's tough due to the number of fish. 24/7 has been optimum run time to maintain clear water as these are for commercial sale.

OK, this isn't my area of expertise and I cant find a post I saw a while back so I'm looking for info, direction on installing a solar powered water pump system. It's for a water filtration system I'm made for my 3 fish ponds. Currently I'm running a 220v 1 hp centrifuge pump that pulls water from the lower pond about 100 ft to the filtration system. It's basically fling a 50 gallon drum and then gravity takes over to filter and return the water thru 2 additional 50 gallon drums. I could probably go smaller like 1/2 hp pump, I just happen to have the current one. It's costing me about 2400 baht a month just to run that 1 pump 24/7 so that's the reason to explore solar power. Ideas suggestions are all welcome

Sorry if you have a reading disorder, it was clearly stated

Then what's the issue with what I wrote? I said the same thing

As I said if the country ends that option of extension because it's no longer valid as it was created for then don't whine. Get the right visa and come back if you want to be here

I never said that, if they are so hot to inject cash from being here you can apply for a correct visa. And if you can't qualify for a correct one and the covid extension ends don't whine

Thailand said it at the begining when they first gave this option and it was valid as most travel had come to halt worldwide. Currently there are only a couple countries that are restricting entry. Most complainers are just milking the system, especially with the whole land border being closed excuse. Those are just border bounces also sidestepping correct visas for the most part. Not many countries allow that type of approach in order to stay in a country

The main issue at hand is the restrictors are sized to handle a specific amount of flow in order to heat the water properly as they have a very small capacity tank internal. Getting a larger heater is the appropriate approach after you've determined how much flow and temp you want or need. the numbers posted as part if the test done are fairly significant already although at what temp??? You have generally a flow restrict at the base of the heater where the flex tubing connects and you may also have a flow restrictor inside the hand held shower head that can often be removed
