  1. Hi, had a comment before (can't find). Our home only has one pipe coming to the shower(s) with hot water from heaters above the ceiling (each shower x 3). I want to install solar water heating - but hitting a hurdle, the company sais that a new green pipe needs to be run. and you manage the mix of hot/cold at point - this is not something we want to do, as each wall would have to be retiled (100k per wall before we even start - and struggle to find the same tiles as discontinued - been there). So my idea, is there must be a way that the solar heater heats the water, its then gravity fed/pumped to a mixing tank of sorts before flowing to the house shower (heads) - we are only interested in the showers - we have 5kw system and 3kw system for the pool, each shower heater when used uses 3.5kw so we have a power issue at times (too much being consumed). So as you can see - cutting out the heating of water will take some pressure of the house grid, but doing so will create extreme costs making it not worth while/viable. Has anyone come across a tank of sorts that can mix the hot water coming from the solar hot tank with cold water that we can then send onto the house? Thanks - did see this but looking for a off the shelf solution i can just give to somchai
  2. Did anyone ask what 'interrogation means' ?
  3. Has anyone had success with these? We currently have three shower water heaters in the house, soon to be 5+ [excluding taps]. Not entirely sure if you actually save money on them, aside from that our household is quite big, not sure if heated water would be lost travelling the network of pipes we have going on - how did others resolve? with redundancy for backup water heaters? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/solar-hot-water-heater-150-litre-stainless-steel-tank-can-save-30000-baht-per-year-in-electricity-cost-warranty-10-years-i1415434939-s12416000771.html?
  4. When they lay the concrete that will raise the road slightly, then dig out the beginning part of your drive and have a slope. FYI it cost the local gov here 800k just to raise a slither of road where it always flooded every year... Further when they design the road, you'd be surprised just how many people need to sign off on it - so they'd have to go back to the drawing board... only way you could get around that is have the locals make a <deleted> load of noise... but let us be honest, they will look at you and say som - nom - na, he can afford it, tight elite farang.
  5. Gold is dug in Thailand..
  6. Looking to buy a physical gold nugget for a display piece i am doing on the evolution of money. Anyone know anywhere in Thailand where a physical natural nugget can be purchased?
  7. Just moved my solar panels, adding 2 additional panels also. Pre-install new panels getting rough 3,400w's constant day time.
  8. Oil will crash yes, but it will also rise.
  9. Reminds me of the house we have down south, the titler didn't know how to work with brick style tiles (ceramics) in the bathroom, arrived there when it was all done, and the idiot did them in all in line and with white grout lol Worst of all he fitted a bath and never supplied electric to the heater behind the tiles (in the wall) for the water, property gets used a couple of times a year, thankfully the aircon actually works, otherwise it was in my opinion a financial calamity.
  10. Rarely known - Ao Po Viewpoin Laem Khat Viewpoint
  11. Have quite a lot of mountain land with rivers etc (streams) passing through. Considering setting up a Hydrogenerator and establishing some bitcoin miners Anyone came across any fairly decently sized hydro-generators in Thailand?
  12. Just a step in the direction of taxing overseas income like the US. Spend those reds and greens on a second citizenship.
  13. Good luck with that, i tried to trade in a 2 month BMW for a different version and they offered 1m baht less with 50klm on the clock lol
  14. Just installing [in phuket] 20ish meters (excluding pipes and electric) 55-65,000 THB they hand-dig and then hand-lower concrete circles in (crane won't get into the area).
  15. Wife brought up something today that I hadn't even considered. Kids are British through me (descent) *dual national* Are their kids British also (via Descent-through them?)
  16. Web 3 is crypto, this subforum is crypto
  17. Aseannow should have a sub Web3 forum (outside of crypto). I have a lot of compute power sitting idle, that i'd love to catch up with Web3 devs in Thailand and put to work.
  18. You have to OTC with a local that works for a overseas company but has staff on-shore (saves on transaction fees for salaries/deferred salaries etc).
  19. Yeah that's what i was referring to.
  20. Ever do OTC here?
  21. It's a shame as lost one good neighbour, one of the other neighbours managed to get a friend to buy two properties (these two neighbours rented), but so far 8 houses have gone up or going up for sale or sold. Price ranges from 6-20m THB with some refurbs of about 2/3mb for the lower priced ones. Russian's snapping them up like chocolate cakes. Two years ago Chinese were buying up, had one Chinese home buyer brokering the sales (overpriced IMO) for one property on the road for 13m THB, one night he entered my back yard (wife was home) and offered to arrange 25mb sale. Gone crazy.
  22. There's many companies outside of Thailand that allow P2P (specifically targeting Russians), Thai's are making a lot of money on the spread... None of this goes through a local exchange, just either payment rails external of Thailand (say a EMI) or via local transactions / collections. Thai exchanges as far as I am aware do not require a long-term visa (I've used both Bitkub, Satang) - had accounts at other exchanges but never used. Bitkub stopped using a long time ago, the continuous KYC was annoying. Satang now becoming a pain in the <deleted> also (i.e deposits not credited, low liquidity) But can say never been asked about visa status in Either (have elite so neither here or there).
  23. Had a tin a decade ago, always give when asked for *usually outside of thailand* <deleted> knows where they send the information lol
