I have good experience with Sumo brand TIS plugs. they use a cable gland style strain relief so the electrical contacts inside don't get pulled apart. As for receptacles, I'm a fan of the rubber box same as Crossy mentions above. https://www.homepro.co.th/m/p/1288766?lang=th&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22353566328&gclid=CjwKCAjwmNLHBhA4EiwA3ts3mcMJZjUG2r5c1Hhm8XGMMYwvnY16BQC5Lwg22Awpabns29cphJlt_xoCYPoQAvD_BwE

There is a section road with 3 solid yellow center lines on the way into Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai. Its a curved sloped section, and loaded pickups and buses still overtake in both directions. I know this post is about Pattaya, but some contractor in Chiang Rai figured out how to sell another stripe.

I can remember being bored only once in the past 10 years. I was transferring through the airport at Guangzhou and my next flight was delayed 6 hours. Airport was packed. no available chairs to sit. Shops closed for the night. Nowhere to sleep or relax. Standing around waiting to get out of there is the most boring memory I have.

in this case, i made a spelling mistake because i drank 4 beers and my fingers are too fat for this mobile phone screen keyboard. My spelling mistake conveniently disguised itself as a grammar mistake. ambiguity is wonderful.

I remember one day in Redwood City, California watching people dragging, flipping, and rolling truck tires back and forth across a Crossfit outdoor lot. I'm guessing it was a rather expensive activity. Then, I was in South Africa watching a young man roll a truck tire alongside a road that lead miles out to nowhere. He was probably fetching a tire to replace one on a truck in a village somewhere. Interesting contrast.

does anyone know what he was transporting and if the pickup was overloaded? Some pics showed water jugs tossed about. Maybe he was hauling 2 tons of bottled water on suspension and brakes that were not up for the job on that curve.

I drive through this road several days per week, and watched the construction of these new HV poles. I believe the old system had 22kV poles that were not removed. So this road has an interleaved pattern of tall HV and not so tall 22kV poles. Fortunately it was early in the afternoon. If after 8pm, the restaurant Him Gong that was destroyed and burned by the fallen poles (and neighboring restaurants) are full of customers.

Interesting experience at the tire shop last week. I parked and walked toward the area with the sales girls. I could see that some of them had that look like "hmmm. how do we deal with this guy". After i greeted them in Thai, they were all smiles and happy to help me. We continued the process of selecting new tires, order, pay deposit (also using Thai language). Then the sales girl gave me a few extra coffee coupons for the shop next door. Amazing how the interaction can can change for the better after a friendly greeting.

(US citizen) no recent experience with Bangkok Bank, but i had to go into Krungthai bank and update my FATCA paperwork after 7 years using this account even though my US Tax ID has not changed. The banker says they are now automatically sunsetting FATCA docs every 2 years and requiring us to fill in the form again. Hopefully they don't randomly lock out my banking app without notice in 2 years when i forget about this process.

You could use a busbar if the top surface of all your DIN rail devices is at the same height. https://th.rs-online.com/web/p/busbars/1875176

the advertising jingle / theme song on the speakers at Big C. Just about the time i get the worm out of my ear, I pop into my local Mini Big C to buy something -- and there it is again. I'm surprised more of the employees haven't gone crazy listening to that all day.

there's also the issue of temperature control throughout transportation and storage. 40C is not ideal

2017 Amphawa floating market. Ate some noodles / squid thing just before getting on the boat tour. Within an hour it was vomit overboard and fish come to eat it. 2014 Dominican republic. Friend's house that was hosting us said they keep a bucket next to the toilet in the outhouse -- just in case you need both at the same time. Woke up in a sweat late at night (6 hours after eating) to rush outside in the dark and pouring rain looking for the outhouse. Didn't make it on time and exploded from both ends outside in the garden. Quick outdoor shower with the hose and back to bed. Next morning, no evidence. Thanks rain!

my experience with whistle-blowing security guards / parking attendants looks like they are trying to be helpful when I am backing into a parking space. However, I find it more of a distraction than a help -- especially when the car has mirrors, a reverse camera with parking guideline overlays, and sensors that make sounds when near collision. I just try to ignore it.
