depressing really

No it isnt, had worse in Pranburi about 6 years ago maxed out at 43.5 but the following 3-4 years have been really good for rain didnt go over 39 and not as hot as those 2-3 years of higher heat. This year 6 days at 41c so far and drier than the previous 3-4 Pranburi/Prachuap is already one of the driest provinces in Thailand. Of course unlike the govt here I planned for this when I moved there with two deepwater wells and a one rai lake and all rainfall is collected into that lake via various channels......one receievd 750,000 views on tik tok with numerous comments in Thai asking me how I did it and maybe to run for governer of Bangkok.......they didnt know I was a dirty Flang though Snaptik.app_7077034087902416154.mp4

The Emperor does look good today doesnt he.

I keep a 1000 baht note in my ash tray in my pick up ( older toyotas since sold\) for emergencies etc, took the car to the car wash place and when I got it back the 1000 had become a 100............ complained and was told prove it, called our Policeman who negotiated a 500 baht refund without liability ect.............it goes on for sure. Still lost 400 though. Needless to say slagged off that car wash to everyone I met

This is my plan as I come from a line of long livers, Mother currently 96 still driving lives alone without help. Ill wait until at least 70 maybe more but I wouldnt be surprised that they remove entirely pensions for anyone living overseas. As stated with information technology ie BIG BROTHER they will know your every move. Glad my working years when I was self employed didnt have much of this crap that youngsters seem to embrace. The taxman lost out big time to CASH when I worked and Ill go to my grave particularly happy about that.

Breaking news, PM to address water shortage , plan drawn up , meetings scheduled to start September October

I agree......about 250,000 volts should do it.

bwhaaaa ha ha, been here long, I reported a machete attack police did NOTHING

nooooooooooo you must never hit women.....= rights n all that

Those tuk tuk guys are so honest as well, known worldwide for their honesty..............like I care and Phuket bwhaaaaaaaamha ha, off to beat the wife, she deserves it

Steady on!😵

reminds me of that joke about the guy who said his car was being stolen and when he called the Police they said they dont have anyone available at the moment..............he rang back and said its ok ive shot them.............armed Police arrived in 2 minutes, and when they questioned him they said you said you had a gun, he said and you said you had no one available!!

Ive stopped farting, only eat dugongs tigers and pangolin twice a week only throw away 4 sets of polystyrene food containers and 6 water bottles a day and Im hugging a tree even as I speak.................I feel so much better about myself. Cat say the same for the rest of Thailand as the local beaches are covered in plastic crap saturday/sunday after theyve had a "lovely" day out

more like thailands pollution and all the crap they throw in the sea

They must be really desperate for money to fund their vote buying incredible schemes

I was thinking of getting the 20 year one when I got to 65ish ( 60now) but with their stupid price increase and the perhaps maybe tax situation I guess its now

most are cheaper in Thailand, UK suzuki swift start at £18699 (840kbaht) Thailand 580k baht

My bills normally lower than I posted but due to there being NO water in the village this year I have to use my own deepwater well (2) which has increased my monthly cost.....I water about 1 acre of garden trees with small sprinklers at the base of each tree (2-300) so as not to waste water, its basically drip irrigation as the spray does not spray an area more than 2sq feet......whereas locals use sprinklers and reckon most of it evaporates

my point entirely as many houses here have awful windows/doors and often zero insulation + single redbrick or concrete block with no sealing. My house is surrounded by trees I planted 12 years ago to mitigate the heat, none of the walls get any sunlight, even the aircon unit itself is mounted high up on the wall to help out of the sun. AAc blocks were too expensive when I built so I went with this

heres the bill from yesterday, this also includes a deep well pump thats running 4 hours a day @750w and 27 x7watt leds lights on 12 hours per night .................surely any cost would depend on the insulation you have............and mines very VERY well insulated

you can use this without primer https://www.th.weber/en/webertai-flex including in shower areas etc

If the tiles are well stuck down you dont need to remove them, tap them to see if they sound hollow as many Thai tilers are crap hollow ones need to be removed, Ive just found this primer made by Davco and available in Thailand for non porous tiles ie shiny ones https://aus.sika.com/en/construction/tile-stone-installationsystems/primers-additives/davco-ultrabond.html This is the Australian site but you can buy it in Thailand here https://www.pbtechno.co.th/product/davco-ultrabond/ Failing that run an angle grinder over the tiles if they are glossy at a shallow angle ie not the usual vertical position, make sure you clean the tiles down really well, you dont want ANY dust at all. After youve cleaned the walls wet ypour finger tips, run them over the walls, if you get dust on them they arent clean enough

I insulated my house when built using double block walls with air gap ( sealed )12 years ago, ceiling insulation and upvc windows, its well sealed everywhere, costing 1800 a month in 40c heat currently, thats on 24-7 set at 26c cooling a 50m2 area, I clean my own aircons regularly and this is a Daikin 12000btu inverter aircon.

about to do the same, any update for finding a tile primer here? Ive done it angle grinding the walls and using Weber Tai flex https://www.th.weber/en/webertai-flex Used it in a shower floor without problem but would still prefer a primer . Australia use sika NPP..............which isnt available in Thailand!! Also seen this which is suitable but again no primer https://www.beger.co.th/en/product/304/Beger-Cement-Tile-Bond-Premium-T-300

living the dream eh..........thankfully i live in a 5 acre field with no neighbours
