I once put two cheap extractor type fans in the walls on either side of a room, one blowing inwards, and the other blowing outwards (made sure to put mosquito nets on them) and it worked a charm!

Creative thinking, I like it ????

Why not AC? cost?

I’m looking for a more efficient way to keep the temperature at a reasonable level 

I’ve built a stand alone guest room & it gets very hot. It’s not too much of a problem on sunny days as it has sliding glass doors which when left open during the day ventilate the room pretty well. However, now we’re coming into the rainy season leaving the doors open isn’t an option so I need an alternative form of ventilation. If I was to simply put in some ventilation grilles in the ceiling & in the walls between the ceiling & roof would this make much difference? Would it be better to install electric extractor fans in the ceiling and/or a solar-powered roof ventilator? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

I’m currently using a Click 125 & when I go round tight corners my knees are almost touching the handles. Which bikes under ฿100k have the most clearance between seat & handles?

Thanks

Two Pheu Thai MPs, Piyawat Pansaichua and Boonkaew Somwong, said that they will submit an interpellation to parliament to ask the government about the project.

I must admit I had to Google that, nice to learn something new ????

A friend of my son in the UK (aged 29) has now had Covid-19 three times, twice since July after being at least vaccinated once. He is an idiot, careless with mask wearing and social distancing, got the last 2 from a nightclub and his birthday party. 

I think breakthrough infections are going to be a lot higher than reported. Because in most cases symptoms are minor, just like flu, not always any medical record of it.

I wonder how many people he’s infected. Pretty selfish behaviour.

I received an AZ jab as 1st dose & was then offered Pfizer 2 weeks later by a different hospital which I declined. There is evidence that AZ followed by Pfizer 4 weeks later offers better protection than 2 doses of AZ. Has anybody done this?

How do Thais register for vaccine in PKK?

“The batch is part of the 80 million doses of COVID-19 that US President Joe Biden has committed to sharing with the world. So far the US has supplied Vietnam with more than five million doses of COVID-19 Moderna vaccine, which are part of the 23 million doses it committed to 20 countries/territories in Asia.”

It’s ok, we don’t need your help, everything is under control here in Thailand.

Out of 170,007 foreigners jabbed only 1,228 were over 60? Hmm.

I need to send something out of Thailand for repair & I’ll be using DHL. How can I avoid being charged duty & Vat on it’s purchase value when it comes back? Is there some kind of exemption document from Thai customs? Or is it sufficient for the repairer to declare it as a repair & not a purchase?

Don’t want to worry anyone but you might get hit on the head by a piece of rocket this weekend. It weights 18 tonnes so if it does hit you it’s going to hurt.

Is it possible to trade UK shares without a UK address? I do have a UK bank account.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I requested a transfer at 9.30pm last night, it arrived in my bank account at 2pm today as an FTT. Not sure why some people get almost instant transfers but I’m happy with TW’s service.

I want to make monthly transfers from the UK to my Bangkok Bank account. How do I ensure that they appear as Foreign Transfers? I seem to remember that you had to ring them before making the transfer to ask them to send it directly to your bank & not via an intermediary bank, is that still necessary?

Thanks.

No wonder there are no decent bands coming out anymore.

Plenty of great new bands out there. Listen to “6 Music Recommends” on the free BBC Sounds app & then buy their music on Bandcamp to support them.

Just been told by beIN customer service “Due to the recent changes in broadcasting rights, we regret to inform you that beIN Sports Connect Thailand has ceased broadcast of UCL and UEL.”

beIN do have the rights to the FA Cup so I’ll carry on with my monthly ฿99 subscription for now but disappointing nevertheless.

Immigration in Hua Hin require 12 monthly statements specifically showing that the monthly income has come from overseas.

HH also accept 2 x 6 month statements.

My favourite Bowie cover is a German version of Heroes by Six By Seven which they did as part of a session on the John Peel show.
