I am building a home and will need to drill a well. I have heard that there are companies in Pattaya that use a ground penetrating radar to locate the best drilling locations. Would anyone know the name of a company that has such equipment. Also what would be a ballpark estimate to drill a well

And where exactly do you get your evidence that it is causal? Your simplistic association of climate change to C02 emmisions first off assumes the change to be abnormal. The earths temperature has had wide swings for millions of years from ice ages to interglacial periods. Second, other factors "may" influence the earths temperture. We know that volcanos spewing ash shade the earth shading the earth. So is it conceivable that the amount of volcanic ash in the atmosphere is also low at this point causing the temperature of the earth to rise as more sun peneatrate it. You have this single notion that there is one cause for global warming and first off assume that the phenomena is something more than the normal cooling and heating of the earth over many years. Secondly, you assume that C02 is the cause of it. You point to the last 200 years and the fact of industrial revolution. Well we also didn't have solar panels, rubber bands, safety pens, flush toilets, and ball point pens 200 years ago. Using your logic, perhaps it is the introduction of those that is causing weather change. You dismiss the idea that a changing climate is normal and ignore the fact that the climate of the earth has changed for millions of years. You dismiss any idea that other factors or a combination of factors might influence temperature changes. Volcanic eruptions spew tons of particulate into the atomosphere impacting climate. So this simplistic view that only humans and carbon emisions are the primary causitive is just that naive. The following things are true. The earths temperature is slightly warmer. What we don't know is whether that is abnormal, what if anything is causing that, and most importantly what could possibly to mitigate it. I suggest this move to electrify everything has substantial adverse enviornmental outcomes as well. The mining of lithium is extremely impactful. The construction of power plants to supply the required energy, string the millions of miles of electric lines is not without its negative impact. Also, there is this notion that the warming of the earth is destructive. Perhaps, but it could also prove beneficial as areas once to cold to grow crops become now able to support crop growth. The warmer temperature decreases the need to burn oil, coal, natural gas to heat homes from much colder temperatures. Do I know any of this to be true. No. And neither do you. It is a mere supposition that the earths warming is unatutural, that is is bad, hydrocarbons are to blame, and that something can be done about it even if true. This also peaked in 2023. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/14/world/solar-maximum-activity-2024-scn/index.html https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/solar-events-news/Does-the-Solar-Cycle-Affect-Earths-Climate.html

As said, using the past 200 years as some sort of benchmark is like taking one day out of a century and saying "that day is normal" Also, while CO2 can be correlated to temperature rise, so can the number of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches eaten in one day can be correlated to temperature rise. Correlation is not causation.

This notion that you can look at the past 100 to 200 years and somehow use it as "normal" is just ridiculous. The earth has warmed and cooled for millions of years. There is a perfrect correlation between the per capita spending on cheese and died being hung in their own bedsheets. This idea that somehow that correlations human made carbon emission with climate change is just as spurious. It is a correlation, not a proven correlation. What is the mid Holocene warm period? Mid-Holocene Warm Period – About 6,000 Years Ago Paleoclimatologists have long suspected that the "middle Holocene," a period roughly from 7,000 to 5,000 years ago, was warmer than the present day.Nov 12, 2564 BE

I am just aware that the development that I am building in provides it. I certainly am not going to be putting in a ev charger that requires it. Please excuse my ignorance, if the development is providing 3 phase do I have an option to go with only single phase?

I purchased a car in Bangkok and it had Bangkok plates. I kept the plates and later sold the car. The person wanted to have the plates here in Pattaya. There is a car registration shop close to where I live that renews registrations and does inspections. They completed the paperwork, got the new plates from the transport office. When they arrived, the new buyer had to appear and the inspection office took the old plates to mail and surrender back to Bangkok and put the new plates on.

I am building a new home and considering adding a solar system to supplement getting power from the grid. During the day I will have the following running: 1. 30,000 - 36,000 btu cassette air conditioning SEER in the 18 to 20 range 2. Refridgerator 19.8 new inverter model 3. A few lights all LED 4. Water pump for well and water storage tank 5. Pool pump 6. On occasion 1 to 2 ceiling fans 7. Some electric appliances including Microwave, TV, Computer, Cook Top, vaccum 8. Every other day dishwasher inverter 9. Clothes washer every day 1-2 hours inverter model I am not sure of the process for how to calculate the size of the system one needs. I know it is based on BTU's but since the home is under construction, I won't have an accurate estimate until after living in the home. The home is a single story, with 3 phase electric service. What questions should I be asking. What would be a reasonable guess as to the cost of the system. And, does someone have a good experience with an installer that they could reccomend.

I finally found that Krung Thai but only the location in Central Marina dispenses the M Pass transmitter. You get the transmitter and a pre-paid Krung Thai debit card to reload for the tolls.

How long ago did you buy this. I went to Krung Thai close to Tuk Com and they said they didn't sell the M pass.

I am building a new home and have a large area that combines the kitchen, dining room, and living room. I believe that it would be advisable to install one of the cassette type air conditioners that can blow air in 4 directions. I have done some preliminary research and yes Daikan and Mitsubishi top the list of reccomended units. However one brand Haier is about 1/3 rd less money and has a higher SEER rating. Has anyone had experience with Haier Air conditioners particularly the cassette type. One thing that is always mentioned when speaking about AC is the availability of spare parts if it is a brand other than Daikan or Mitsubishi.

Well when you have not heard from the listing salesperson in over 3 months I think that exhibits all the patience that a selling homeowner should have to put up with.

I have Mpass and just registered for it. I was emailed a QR code which I placed in the window of my car. I went through the EZ Pass lane and the barrier would not lift. I gave it to the attendant who had no idea. Some have suggested that it was because I only had the minimum baht in the account. One way or another, I would like to have the automated payment but it sure seems strange that the only way to obtain one is to drive to an expressway in Bangkok.

There was no contract merely a sheet listing the attributes of the home. Given that one agent must contact another to show a home it is not a multiple listing service. As a result I see countless examples of the same home listed with many different real estate agencies since buyers can not go to any single data base that contains the listings from everyone.

Yes none of the banks apparently sell them. Just so I understand, the man at Mflow put 100 baht in my account. I have a QR code. Is that all that is necessary is to put in the window of my car. I see something about an EZ pass card that is a small transmitter pasted to the windshield.

I tried googling JensenZ several different ways and came up with nothing. Do you have a link?

I have asked at some of the toll booths. So far they have told me SCB, Kasikorn, and Krungthai banks. Guess what none of them dispense them. I was then told I had to register for MFlow online. I did that but not easily. It would never allow me to progress through the registration and finally a man from MFlow completed it for me and sent a QR Code I was to print and put in the window. Guess what, first time to try and it would not open the gate in the EZ Pass lane. Attendant had no idea what it was or why it did not work. I would think that you should be able to purchase an EZ pass here in Pattaya and not have to drive to one of the toll booths that dispenses them. But then again, this is Thailand.

Looking to sell 3 bedroom home in Huay Yai. I have listed it with one real estate agency that was "reccomended" and frankly very disapointed. Have listed it for over 3 months and not a single viewing Also I have never heard back from the real estate agent since the listing. I understand that unlike in the USA you list with several agencies since they don't share a common multi listing service. Does anyone have experience with a good agent who is diligent and actually markets the property raither than just sits on their hands waiting for calls. Also, I know that some in my village have sold their homes to foreign european buyers who see the homes on websites in their home countries. Again, does anyone have experience with what sites those may be so I can contact them to post the home there as well.

Not possible very irregular lot

We live in a "developed estate" what really is a village with several homes. There recently was an extraordinary meeting that we believe violated numerous regulations. I am aware that land office filing must be done within 30 days of the date of that meeting However, I know that a homeowner can file a motion with the court objecting to the meeting. Does anyone know if that motion also has to be within 30 days of the date of the meeting or within 30 days from the date the request for approval at the land office is filed.

Was this recently? Who did you use? I have been quoted figures all over the board up to as much as 70,000 baht for an architect drawings.

I have talked to various architects and get a wide range of the cost to have a set of building plans approved and get a permit to build. This would be in Huay Yai. Does anyone have experience with the process and cost.

You are exactly correct. I turned off show hidden files and yes they all went away. Thank you. They "clutter" the desktop at times.

What is Gender? Sounds like you could be a nominee for the Supreme Court. She couldn't answer what is a female. I suggest that you would do very well in those philosophical debates trying to determine how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. I know this, there are two genders. They are assigned not by someones "self identity" but rather by their chromosones. There are only two combinations not an infiniate number. They are XX and XY. Not only does the federal government define Gender as Male and Female. So does Harvard, Now you can "identify" as a butterfly but it does not make you one. You can not choose or change your XX or XY chromosones. So while you can project yourself as anything you want, biologically you are either male or female. If you somehow believe differntly so be it. But you get to choose your own opinions but not your own science.

They all have the unusual symbol followed by the dollar sign.

You should tell the federal government your findings. Their forms clearly disagree with you. Game, Set, Match
