This topic has been so helpful, it's great. I expect it will continue for many years to come!

Does anyone remember what documents were required for the MOI interview and the Oath?

Specifically if uninterrupted visa and work permit was checked for the 3 years prior to either of those events.
NIA was March 2022  so I have at least a year or two to wait for the MOI interview.

Thank you

No alcohol or cigarettes?

There's not any negative reviews here about staying away from staycool shop I am reassured by that.

Yeah there's a lot lost in translation but based on the way he turned into Rambo emptying his m60, I believe he means spray it on the underside of the tiles.

I don't know much about it but a German pal just got his done with foam and he does go on about how good it is. Again not sure what it is exactly.

Saying that breathing is expending energy and classified as work as well :)

I expect there are enough borderline Burmese on sites these days that no one really bothers unless you start pissing them off like you say.

Have a site in Bangkok and want a few small things doing without the hassle of negotiation and explanation. Things like chasing yellow conduit around a tv in a wall.

Has anyone had any issues with being accused of 'stealing our jobs' and getting a visit from the uniforms? Technically it is considered working illegally I think.

I am husband of the owner.

I had the same feeling that he just had a bad experience with it or more likely it is a pain in the a.r.s.e to fit around all the lights and yellow electrical. The upstairs ceiling is nearly 7m high.

This forum is very helpful,
Thanks.

My builder tells me that staycool insulation falls apart and causes loads of dust problems and is no good for Thailand. He recommends foam under the roof instead.

I thought it was sealed and resealed with metal tape if cut. Maybe rats chew on it?

Does anyone have any experience with staycool 15cm?

I am worried that the attic will be hot no matter what and need something over the ceiling.

Cheers.

Really appreciate the advice.

The LC being ok is great news, will see if Schneider can put that in thai for my sparky then.

Walls are 20cm thick q-con, 15cm stay cool on upstairs ceiling with aluminium sheet under tiles. Windows and doors are all German uPVC with laminated glass and shading is good.

Air cons, water pump and fridge all inverter.

Solar water interests me but the budget says no. I might get some ppr pipes in place for future now you mention it though. I could put panels on the car port roof.

Thank you!

I just read that Inverter Air Con is more efficient on 1 phase due to the conversion to DC so that simplifies things. Here's the A/C.

I realise that's not all going to be going full on at the same time (well definitely not all the time!)  but the numbers do come to 97A which can be spread over the 3 phases.

Then there's another 100A conservatively reserved for 3 water heaters, pump, cooking, several rooms A/V, 100 lights conservatively future proof at 60W.

It's a 4 bed 2 floor house.

The load center i have is QO3-100EZ42G/SN from Schneider:

https://www.se.com/th/en/product/QO3-100EZ42G%2FSN/square-d-classic-main-breaker-load-center---100a---surface-mounted---42-ways/

If it is 100A per phase then is it within rating to carry 240A if 80A are on each phase?

If so then would the PEA allow it? I am not sure what meter they would provide. A 30/100 would be over nominal with just 2 air cons on. There is a small apartment block down the soi with 3 phase power cables running overhead.

If it should be 250A LC then I will go for that instead and try flogging the one I have. I'll check with Schneider as well but pretty sure they will recommend talking to the sparky.

Cheers

Thanks Crossy. I need to do some calc but it is a house with 3 42k btu 3 phase cassette air con and 6 wall air con 18k btu as the main draw. I will go and get the numbers. 

Don't have the meter yet. 

I recently bought a Schneider electric 100A 3 phase breaker load center 42 way that takes in 50mm cables from the 3 phase 100A meter in the soi.

The electrician says I need the 250A one. 

I find this confusing to need a 250A rated l.c. for a 100A meter.  Is the 100A meter not really 100A?

Cheers
