HI UK citizen went to the local branch (Chumpae) she phoned the helpline number and was speaking to them throughout, I filled in the form (FATCA/CRS) she took a signed copy of my bankbook and passport she spoke very little English i presume she scanned them in and sent them to the [email protected].
I was wondering if anyone has had an email from Kbank as a conformation of receipt TIA for any replies

Our Sofar inverters when export is disabled usually read a small power in either direction, it's just the nature of the beast.
Until we actually know whether it's supposed to be exporting we can't really answer whether it's worth it or not. Have you been able to check the inverter settings?
If you are definitely using all the power you are making during the day then obviously it matters not, but you should be making rather more then you are saying, even in the "winter".
Yesterday, our 10.6kWP system generated 30kWh, I would imagine your system that's about 1/3 the size would be in the order of 10kWh.
Just a quick update from my query last year I got the bloke who installed the panels to move them to the car port roof about 20 meters away (the Mrs was convinced they were going to fall through the roof into the living room) up until they were disconnected and relocated the array was producing about 100 kWh per month since they were relocated for the last couple of months they have produced 400 kWh and 450 kWh, the panels now sit around 3 meters lower and face east to west but I suspect a poor original connection thanks again for all the previous responses

I decided not to buy when I was in Thailand last winter because I couldn't be sure it would work with my phone.
I just got my first sensor 9 days ago in Denmark, price 10.000 baht for four. And, wow! I am only type 2 and well regulated, but this is an eye opener! Every diabetic should have one of these, at least when they are diagnosed and if they need better regulation.
I guess I will bring some for my winter bird stay in Thailand.
Totally agree the constant monitoring has revolutionised the way i manage my type 2 and i was always pretty well regulated as it was, I don't fancy going back to the finger pricks so hoping someone may have info on the FDA regulations or a pharmacy that sells the monitors

Hi all
I am wondering if there is anywhere i can buy some freestyle libre 2 glucose monitors in Thailand, I was prescribed them in UK on a recent visit but will run out before i go back again. I have looked on google lazada etc and they had Libre 1 and Libre 3 but not Libre 2, the only site i found that had them was Ubuy (shipped from the UK) but before i could checkout i got the message in the 2nd image i uploaded regarding FDA exemption approval, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it or even better recommend a pharmacy in Pattaya or Issan where i could buy them over the counter TIA
-
Hi all I was put on the Freestyle Libre2 sensors in the UK recently (June 2024) i have been looking to source some sensors in Thailand but have only seen the Libre1 and Libre3 sensors available, I tried to access the link that Sheryl provided but to no avail TIA

Thanks for the replies the original query was about transferring funds from Thailand to UK in an emergency, I popped into the Kbank branch and asked the deputy manager (via google translate) she seemed to think i could do it on the app without much hassle i might try 100 quid and see what happens
Just as a quick aside is it easy enough to get a Thai credit card ? as the reason I use my uk account is to pay my uk credit card bill when i book a flight TIA

Hi All
Is it possible to send money from a Thai Bank account to a UK bank account ? Has anyone tried it, are there crazy charges or really poor exchange rates ? or is it as simple as sending money from the UK to Thailand TIA for any replies

For similar traditional English pub to Pig n Whistle try Queen Vic on soi 6.
As mentioned Sportsman on Soi 13 and Nickys on Soi Bukhao also good English pubs with great breakfast and Sunday Roasts.
I visited the sportsman this morning had a full English with extra black pudding and a pint of cold Guinness it was the best I've had for donkeys years including the UK Highly recommend it

I haven't visited Pattaya in a while, but I hear The Sportsman on Soi 13 still gets regular good words.
Siamburi's is probably the best bet for your tinned stuff as well as fresh-made and perishables.
If you live in Isaan, there are several 'importers' of what you seek in the region who have an online presence and are happy to send stuff overnight by bus. I used to do the 'freezer run' from Udon Thani to Pattaya and back maybe 2 or 3 times a year but haven't needed to do that for maybe five years already. Everything is available in town or, if you seek a particular pie or sausage, overnight by bus.
If you're over in Loei, Udon makes for a decent day-trip (stopping overnight optional but recommended).
I was just looking at the sportsman on google but I had to stop as i was drooling on my keyboard
Is Siamburis a shop or just online ? I found some Spam in the local Makro and nearly went off in my pocket

OK, if you have export enabled your meter should run backwards when exporting. As noted by others, the easy way to check is to turn off all the loads in the house at lunch-time on a sunny day and observe the meter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: - Doing this is definitely not permitted so ensure you are not exporting when the meter reader comes and also ensure that you never end up with an overall net-export (meter reading lower than the last one). Many small systems do this, it's absolutely guaranteed that PEA are aware of these systems and tolerate the unofficial net-metering.
If your inverter is a clone/badge-engineered Sofar then enabling/disabling export may be as easy as simply disconnecting the current transformer (CT) with export disabled, the inverter will then export any available energy.
The Mrs has messaged him this morning so am hoping he comes to see me, quick question is it worth exporting ? on the app i have only ever seen it sending 3W to 4W back to the meter. I'm not sure when the meter reader comes as the meter is on a concrete post about half a kilometre away as when i bought the land she got a shed built for the grass cutter etc and somebody ran a cable to it and they never moved it when i got the main house built.
The system only generated 1kWh yesterday but she had the well pump running most of the day watering all the trees plants and topping the fish ponds up so would the inverter generated power on the app be less if the consumption was higher than usual ? I would have thought the generated power would be the same as other sunny days regardless of the consumption, every day in January so far has been sunny but the generation data on the app ranges from 1kWh yesterday to 7.8kwh the day before. TIA

Also, @LoeiI can you check the setting of the inverter "no-export" control (Sofar call it anti-reflux), do you have an electronic or spinning disc meter??
Cant see anything on the inverter settings and the meter is a spinning disc type

No inverter manual???
You should be able to download it from the PSI website, with luck.
The PEA App, keeps basic historical data for >6 months, but 6 months that data will be on your bill anyway.
I'm going to get him back to check the system production levels and ask him (via google translate) about feeding back to the grid etc.

what was your consumption in units before installing solar?
your current electric bill (with solar) indicates 621 units.
the screenshot from your app shows 6.9 units generated power, x 30 days resultes about 200 units / months.
that would sounds not too bad, if you may have 8 panels with only 350 max watt (and not 500 watt) = 2'800 watt max ...
do you do not have any bill for the solar installation? with info's panel typ etc
Only got it installed in August 23 and the Mrs used to chuck the bills straight in the bin (I've been saving them since about last June) so no comparisons until later this year, the app states total generated power which is the total for the day and on the inverter panel it gives the same reading as kWh so it looks like an app mistake. The only paperwork she got with the installation was a PSI energy booklet in Thai and a QC sheet regarding power, efficiency etc.
K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?

I filled out the form, the bank lady reviewed the form whilst on the phone to the contact centre and I signed a copy of my passport and bankbook, I never thought to ask for a copy
