    I noticed many new american cheeses in the Makro for a reasonable price...cheddar for 325 a kg isn't bad...and parmesan for 800 a kg...

    Any of you tried those cheeses?

    I won't try American Cheddar for the same reason not believing in Spain Gouda or German Champagne ????

     

    But had those 'big bag - house brand' shredded cheese once for the pizza.

    Looked so much like molten plastic.

    " One town in America has rejected plans for a solar panel farm because of fears it will suck all the sunlight away from surrounding areas. "

    " Retired science teacher Jane Mann told the town hall meeting that plants could potentially die because they wouldn't be able to complete photosynthesis.

    She also questioned whether solar panels could give people cancer. "

    As Balki: Don't be ridiculous

     

     

    Well.. lesser sun and dying plants?

    Plant moss !

     

    In herbal medicine, moss is most commonly used as a diuretic or as a cure for coughs, depending on how the moss is processed and which moss is used. Irish moss is used for its mucilaginous and nutritional qualities. Sphagnum moss has been used since ancient times as a dressing for wounds.

    My GF does those, plus mussuman curry. Why cook it yourself if someone is happy to cook it for you?

     

    Wifey can't tell when the pasta is near done. It is always: papaaa cook sapagetti naaa

     

    She is happy when papa cook, and she like eat it.

    Our mom cooked musaman last week just for me.

    Missus don't like to eat the potatoes.

    Omelette she does for me, with onions only. Tomatoes they don't eat, not even from the somtum.

  4. Fastfood at home:

     

    Man Frang Tod kab Majo.

    Friet ! Not those silly McDonald style French Fries, but real fat Belgium style fried potato slices with a good smack of creamy mayo (not those salty french Mayonaise which is just good for salads)

     

    Sometimes generous, with chicken and applesauce.

    " Kip, Patat en Appelmoes! ????

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    Enjoyable food at home, which take a bit more time: one or two of those

     

    * Pie (classic style) stuffed with leftovers and grated cheese

    * Tomatosoup with sour creme

    * Burger, with vegs and ceddar cheese.

    * Beef stew with mashed potatoes and short cooked broccoli and peper cream sauce.

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    And enjoyable food at home which has short preparation and cooking time:

     

    * Spaghetti bolognese kept simple just three ingredients

    * Omelette (farm style) with mushroom, tomatos and onions. (on bread)

     

  5. Not released (as back in the public) but transferred.

     

    Upon arriving in The Netherlands he is taken into custody and sent to prison immediately.

    Here he have to finish his sentence.

    But it will be not the same as in Thailand, better and shorter.

    It could be possible that he will be released around the same time as his wife, who was jailed for 11 years (still 6 to go).

    Hope that he will be reunited with his wife who then has to come over to Netherland, as he will probably be banned from Thailand as registered criminal.

     

  6. Do you have a photo of the actual oven and the components?

    A name and type would help too.

     

    The basic wiring is same with microwave and other ovens.

    This one is just extra with valves and electronic thermostat, and double.

    And we need to know what power you are supplying , 230 or 400 volt.

    (only give away is the 230 volt at the igniters, but even those can be pulled down from 400)

     

    Capacitor goes to the motor. You drawed 4 wires and ground, without knowing the type I only could guess that the other wires is for pulling down the voltage.

    Red Green wire from the probe go to pin 4 and 5.

    6 and 7 or 8 is for the power input, and 1 and 2 is relay switch for the thermo relay for the motor and to the igniter for high low setting.

     

    It is complex to explain without visual information.

     

    A two floors pizza oven? ????

    I checked that day on couple of calendars. It was correct in December and it is still shown on one them that is updated regularly.

    I did not go digging around on all kinds of websites to find them like you did.

    All the sources says Royal Ploughing Ceremony is on the 11th, except on TV.

     

    I need to extend my visa in may, will go on the 13th.

    Many foreigners will check the calendar on TV.

    Immigration is open, and no queue line.

    Perfect  ????

    I posted a link to the list of Thai holidays earlier.

    I had to use 3 different calendars to make it and a google search for a couple of days that that are not official holidays but are no alcohol sales days.

    PDF file:  13 May (Wednesday) Royal Plowing Ceremony (Government Holiday Only Banks Open)

     

    Make it 5 different calendars and re-check here and here ????

    Since when has Christmas Day been a public holiday in Thailand? Pretty sure the Royal Ploughing Ceremony isn't a holiday, too.  Ditto Chinese New Year. 

     

    Not the most reliable of sources.

    I'm pretty sure they are closed on Chinese New Year on the 25th, it is on a Saturday ????

     

    But you are right, this is not a reliable source. Just a photo from an calendar.

    Following up the post before.

     

    AND:

    Not just on the (bank)holidays the immigration is closed, they can be closed at any time if they want.

    Last year I was there at CW on 4th of November, they were closed. Something with a conference where all the immigration bosses gathered.

     

     

     

               The best two sources and compare them are: bank holidays and the website of immigration in your region.

     

     

    (Although regarding the website, it's in a developing process all the time one day it works and the next day all broken links. The best information you will get from the Thai language pages..)

    When I go to the Bangkok site of Immigration, I can just see a announcement shortly before the ''new'' webpages loads.

    This screen shows when accessing bangkok.immigration.go.th

    for a short moment before redirecting to the 'new' site

    with old contents.

    • Electronics enclosures with a battery (9v) compartment. I would like to battery compartment to have a separate access door so the main enclosure can be closed off with screws.

    have walked around the Ban Mo electronics mall near Yaowarat

    NPE/Nathapong have these, the enclosures with battery compartment.  And the (micro) switches too.

     

    You can find this store here and there just google and look at the map, and if you just walked around the corner in Ban Mo you have had found NPE which is along the water between Ban Mor and the Grand Palace/Wat Pho area.

     

    If you are around Ban Mor, do look at the Old Siam plaza too, many Amorn stores which surprisingly have items they even don't know they have had.

  11. Are you able to take the cylinder out?

    Many can't, you need the key to move the axis 30 degrees before removing.

    But if you can, take the cylinder to a key maker, perhaps they can 'feel' the number and make a new key for you.

     

    I have done that before, with cylinder in slot case, without door.

    Disassembled the slot case and went to the locksmith with the cylinder.

     

    But if you do know a supplier, and especially for those slot case too.

    Please tell us.
    Having ABUS cylinders here, and I am looking for the slotcases ????

    Ditto for me.  The local supply has fair price and delivers for free.  Beside the steel sheet, the last I bought was 12mm OD square tube, 2mm thick and 6m length.  Got 5 for B525.

    Good to mention this, put that on my list too.

    A frame construction for plastic drawers.

    Need something to put my jars in.

    It's just our local steel chap 14.029335, 100.534019 we spent about 6k Baht, free delivery (OK the boys took away a lot of papaya for somtam).

    I'm sure you have a similar place near you ???? 

    Yes, the nearest one has prices not way under those at TW. Maybe a twenty but not 100 or 200 lower.

    3"x3" was 750 there.

    But many more others around and not far either just good to know the actual prices at the smaller shops.

    Many doesn't have a pricetag, and many use price per KG.

     

    Not have papaya, but enough butterfly peas and they can take the somtum from the table here ????

    I always try to use the smaller places wherever possible, prices are usually excellent and being specialists they know what's what. Or local electrical place is just out of shot to the right ????

    I know which one you mean, probably ????

    Been there looking what they had on analog meters, after stopping for some larb.

    Red front.
