  1. Or a wonderful frog legs buffet. Plus they eat their weight in mosquitoes everyday.
  2. Same here. It can dusty but its a great buffer for noisy neighbors and our dogs love the open space. Its our rice paddies so we till them when there not producing rice. Beautiful during rice season, like a postcard.
  3. It Sounds as you have a huge yard! I've got an electric blower. It takes about an hour to tidy up our property. More dust than leaves. But that includes swapping out batteries 3 times. A blower like your Makita sounds like a blast! I'd clean up our whole village! Can you send a link where you got it online?
  4. Can you explain 15/45. I'd like to know for future reference. You seem very knowledgeable with electronics. You'd make a great nieghbor.
  5. The teens in our village driving there "suped" up Honda Waves, recklessly speeding. Most take off there side mirrors to be "Cool". You can imagine going 90-100 Kilometers an hour on some little rural road. Just takes a stray dog or Buffalo and there's a crash! Terrible drivers! At that age these boys think there invinsible.
  6. Good luck. Keep us updated.
  7. What size (BTU) are you using? All our air cons are on 30 amps. Neighbors have a 9 btu. Seems ok on 15amp but lights dim when its on. I wouldn't be comfortable with our appliances plugged into that situation. Also, if you have electric instant water heaters in your shower, they'll need more than 15 amps for sure. Maybe get another electrician in to see. PEA should know of a few. Thats where a Thai speaker helps.
  8. It's cheaper now in the cooler season. It was a nice 4,500 last month. But it can get close to 9,000-10,000 in the hotter months. Our Mitsubishi Aircons can be put on "Feels Like" mode which alternates between 24 C and "Dry" mode automatically, saving electricity while being comfortable. Pool pump is a "variable speed pump". Expensive but pays for itself in electricity savings. All our lights indoors are LED and our entire outdoor areas are solar lights on timers. The solar lighting is better than I expected, very impressed.
  9. It's just more expensive. You'll be able large loads. Best to head down to your local PEA. Bring someone who speaks Thai. They we're very helpful. They'll come out and see what they'll need, give you a price. It'll take a week or or longer to even get them started on it. Best get on it as soon possible. Good luck.
  10. We paid to have 3 phase wiring brought to our house. It cost us about 18,000 baht to reach from the main road/transformer. I needed that because we have 8 Air-conditioners and 4 water pumps on our property. Not including fans,TV's, washing machines,pool, etc., I'm not an electrician but you need 3 phase wiring brought to your house. Heres a link in an older Asia Now the resembles your problem. https://aseannow.com/topic/998559-how-to-wire-a-house-using-3-phase/ ...And heres some prices from PEA. I live in Issan so prices will differ in different areas; https://images.app.goo.gl/ki8ufBdgAvYtRQDX9
  11. Yes, its in the old part of the underground parking lot. Its wonderful.
  12. Blah,.Blah. Calm down. I'm sure you'll sit down and read the 55,000 page document. Right.
  13. ....and bad news. Like Omicron mixing with Delta. "A researcher in Cyprus has discovered a strain of the coronavirus that combines the delta and omicron variant, Bloomberg News reported Saturday." https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/08/cyprus-reportedly-discovers-a-covid-variant-that-combines-omicron-and-delta.html
  14. Vibhavadi is giving shots and boosters to people who previously paid for it. Everyday of the week except weekends. I'm booked for a booster with a friend on Tuesday. His wife is getting her second shot the same day. Try emailing them or give them a call. Seems a big shipment has come in.
  15. These are people that are against mandating vaccines. Extreme far right nut cases. "Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth, who was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump in 2019." https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/paramount-importance-judge-orders-fda-hasten-release-pfizer-vaccine-docs-2022-01-07/
  16. 10:00 would be reasonable in the circumstances. That's about what time everyone goes to bed in Hua Hin.
  17. Your wife or kids probably have Facebook if its the only option.
