It's called 'Global Warming'

That is, until everything cooled off...

Then it became 'Climate Change'

Though nothing actually changed much...

Soon it'll be called...

'Weather'

Landmark is nice, located just on the corner of the freak show! Get a room with plaza view

Reason is that if you get refused entry (never happens though) the airline has to fly you back home and gets fined for not checking your papers.

To make sure you can board, you can:

- Run to the nearest Thai Embassy or consulate and see if they have a quick-turnaround Tourist Visa (same day or next day)

- Book a cheap / refundable flight out of Thailand to a neighboring country (Cambodia or Laos or similar) departing within 30 days of arrival.

Good luck.

If you want to stay in the center, try the Aloft on Suk 11. Soft opened last week, official opening Dec 1, looks nifty.

How can this not be satire from 'Not the Nation'? Even by Thai standards it's just too comical; 'Hey let's build the worlds' third longest tunnel in two years!'

It took them 6 years and 11 billion baht to build the 10.5km drainage canal from Svarnabhumi.

Funny, after reading the first sentence I scrolled down to the bottom to find out if it had a notthenation source...

Good luck with that

"What noise?"

If you're interested in saving money, it's a one step plan:

1. Turn off the air conditioners.

The rest is inconsequential in comparison, though you mention you have a boiler, which can be a significant power drain as well.

Also:

- ALL modern dimmers use Triacs (or IGBTs) with phase angle control, I haven seen a rheostat in ages.

- It's not the voltage, it's the wattage that counts. A 240V 10W lamp uses exactly the same amount of power as a 12V 10W one. And yes, add a little bit for power conversion losses, and less efficient wiring.

- You can dim -certain- energy saving lights, but TL based ones need special dimmers. LED lights you can always just dim.

- Pumps (and lights as well) do have a significant extra drain at start up, though that time is so short that it will hardly register on your meter.

Second Rutnin, it's the happening place for eye trouble It'd be my first stop for anything more difficult than pulling a box of lenses out of a drawer.

Panthip plaza will have plenty of universal adapters. You can use anything around 15V (14-16 will work fine, probably even down to 10), and rated for at least 1.5Amp (anything bigger is fine as well)

Alternate destinations: Fortune town, Ban Moh.

If your computer has an HDMI port as well, a simple cable would do. The TV will show up as a second monitor.

Hi there,

I would like to ask if anyone has bought anything from $MY_WEBSITE and how was their product and service?

The reason I ask is that I plan to buy $MY_PRODUCTS from there and wish to know how good it is.

many thanks,

Elevated entrances, flood defense walls, sealable.

The whole system is basically floating in groundwater, so no worries there.

Some signs the car was flooded:

- When looking inside, fish wave back

- You open the door, and water gushes out

- Algae on the windows

- Gurgling sound when starting

- Mud out of the exhaust pipe

- High-water line around the car

You don't pay for data usage (unless you got a plan) but by the minute you're connected. (2 baht a minute last time I checked).

Only way to deal with the Mafia. I wish them well.

"It only takes three weeks to clear..."

Are we still living in the middle ages? you could cycle home and get the money yourself in that time...

The telephone system has backup batteries so they will work in case of a power outage. It's designed to do it.

However it may take you a 'while' to boil a pot of water for your tea... you'll be lucky to get 30mA out of it, which is barely enough to light a couple of LEDs. It is nice for an emergency backup light though.

And it took you seven YEARS to come up with that?

year-old posts without responses should be auto-locked...

No problem right now. For the future I'll need a crystal ball.

Insurance beats a decent business plan..

Sorry, DEPENDS is the best you gonna get.

So what are you going to do with the rental bike? sell it on? dump it?

Sounds about par for the course. Just have someone come and drill the holes and run wires where you want them, and finish it yourself.
