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

great so you wont mind when i move in next to you with all night parties, park across your drive etc etc its my business right

how about if you buy one but never use it?

Everyone......because everyone thinks theyre normal 🤪

ah always an answer, id swear if theres no catasrophe in 50 years someone somewhere will have an answer for why it never happened. I know all about the Maldives been going there since 89 the first island I went to meerufenfuhsi is still there, no sea walls around it. Theyve put a few walls around the cpaital which is a <deleted>hole and always had problems, the main one being the huge amount of people on that single island. The Maldives ARE NOT sinking, I can but cant be bothered to show you some researcher saying that shifitng sands are increasing the height. \Its <deleted> and it wasnt ONE erson saying it it was almost EVERY climate alarmist for donkeys years.

well the roads been changed since 2015 so thats irrelevant and they probably left out stop lines where you mark red to avoid people building up a queue and getting mown down by a train behind them + theyre too close to the rail lines anyway. Pity the suv wasnt trying that with a train coming on the other road , now that wouldve been interesting

c'mon man his phone fer christs sake.....his phone, doesnt get more serious than that

yay the Thais never do that, they always rush to the victim, comical.

in which case many crimes would not get solved..................what a great world that would b eh...............see no evil hear no evil....etc get over run with crime

1000 baht a month ensures instant response with anything

Can you vouch for their uni schooling edukatshun though? that's my laugh icon btw.

and who mostly never use the NHS saving the UK millions, its an absolute farce,

is that why when I went to the Maldives in 1989 they told me it would be gone in 20 years................must be very slow rising then, still good for handouts when they can blame "the west"....... then increase tourism massively, it aint sea level thats the problem there its ridiculous over building. Still can now view the webcam on the very same beaches I walked down 36 years ago, went from 60 odd rooms to several hundred yet it remains the same size

wait until youve done it a few times and report back, especially when they change things form last year, or just make up some new crazy idea. I was once told that as the corner of my bed was not in the photo for marriage visa that It had to be redone , a drive of 40km.despite previous years being fine.

and lets not forget https://www.timesofisrael.com/father-of-fallen-soldier-terrorist-decapitated-my-son-tried-to-sell-head-for-10000/ All that uni education and they still say "you is complicit"

id say many are as thick as sheite

keep pushing and pushing them, dont give up, theyll get bored and do something. As an aside I had on the 5th floor water backing up into my sink once, reckon all the other people in the building threw their cooking oil down the drains blocking or restricting the main pipe which all floors feed into. Office said it wasnt their problem, told em to go to the access point and rod the main pipe.They did nowt until we started to push them however I couldnt wait any longer, in the end I rerouted the sink waste into a washing machine wastepipe as I have the full plans for the building and the two arent linked and as such no one can chuck cooking fat into that separate pipe. Both are grey water so its no problem . Id rather sort out problems myself but as yours is an exterior wall its THEIR problem, get a lawyer to send them a letter, kick up a fuss otherwise theyll just keep smiling away forever and a day
