  1. And it's stylish and very comfortable.
  2. You've got a small crack/leak somewhere. That was happening for a few months until I finally saw a tiny pinhole leak near the bottom of the tank. Pump was virtually brand new. 14 years of service is very good. Perhaps get a new one before other parts fail. Where did you get a replacement tank? Be nice to know for future reference. Good luck!
  3. Imagine how much the judges get working in the "Constitutional court".
  4. Variable speed pump cost me about (Emaux) 45,000 baht from Ali Baba. It cut pump electricity by half, running 390-400 watts an hour. Swimming Pools Thailand has them. Good warranty, Bangkok repair if needed. https://swimmingpoolsthailand.com/en/191-variable-speed-pumps I also added a Tuya Smart Plug from Lazada To check the electricity usage. Next house, gated with a community pool. Pools are just expensive and a chore in my opinion. Great now with young kids though.
  5. Bangkok Bank app was down this evening.
  6. Obviously you haven't lived in Thailand for long. Let's see how your idea plays out. Hopefully my superior knowledge and Thai political history is wrong this time. Democracy in Thailand IMHO is still a few years off.
  7. Show me the numbers. It isn't possible to elect either of the two top voters without the Senate. You don't want to include a coalition with the Junta clan, that was the point and excitement about this rigged election. You'll understand in a few days. It's possible they'll anull the entire Future Forward Party. They did it in 2019 with the top vote getter, Future Forward Party. "Thai parties cry foul after election results favour military junta" "Pro-democracy politicians question official figures released after 45-day delay" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/08/thai-parties-cry-foul-after-election-results-favour-military-junta
  8. Overrule the senators? Unfortunately not. "Most importantly, senators have the power to select the PM with members of the Lower House from the list of candidates proposed by elected parties." https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40027738 "GOV’T UNVEILS 250 SENATORS FULL OF GENERALS, JUNTA FAVORITES" https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2019/05/14/junta-unveils-250-unelected-senators/ As things get closer to July 5th you'll see that these elections are just a sham.
  9. Nothing works without the votes of the handpicked senators. The senators were handpicked by the current Junta leaders: Pryut and Prawit.
  10. Unfortunately he's as rude and abrasive a poster this forum has. Usually the worst posts begin Friday-Sunday, binge drinker I assume.
  11. Really nice. Great location, good breakfast!
  12. I believe the RTP already have barricades and other preparations ready for the announcement. I believe most Thai's are just numb from this hooligan government. Who wants to risk years in jail protesting when nothing ever changes.
  13. "PM calls for peaceful and prompt transition of power" This is the guy who hand picked the 250 Junta senators. Get rid of your senators and we have some resemblance of a democracy. This guy just wants these soundbites, but there empty baloney!
  14. Dangerous, perhaps. A Dump for sure. One airport I never look forward to going to.
  15. Just have the current Military junta admit there never going to cede power. Perhaps that will please the markets. Obviously it's up to the 250 Junta hand selected mobsters who ultimately choose the next PM. "A senator who has been publicly disparaging of the Move Forward Party is now saying that party leader Pita Limjaroenrat will never get enough support from the Senate to become Thailand’s next prime minister." https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40028938
  16. How <deleted>**ng inconsiderate. If your going to smoke just go to a designated area. Sound like renters. Most smoking in rentals, balcony or not, forbid smoking. Hopefully complain and they go outside in the future so everyone is happy.
  17. Seems that's a Republican/Ultra conservative thing. Average, normal people really could care less. If you wanna dress like the opposite sex. knock yourself out but don't shove it down my throat.
  18. It seems transgender rights/news is everywhere, oversaturating the headlines. I guess it's the hip thing to talk about these days.
  19. That's what my wife said. Usually means time for a deep cleaning. .... Perhaps hire a maid to come a couple of times a month.
  20. I think a political party named "Move Backwards and thwart any choice for the people" would go over well with the the current government, constitutional court, and the election committee. It's ugly watching Thai politics unfold.
  21. Crazy. There going to unload a bunch of Yaba addicts on them plus put them in some shi*-h**e public hospital somewhere as an insentive?!? Obviously Anutin the rimmer is still in charge.
  22. Same as two years ago. Anutin the rimmer can't seem to place an order unless it's for Chinese vaccines. Ridiculous.
