So if 15% tax goes to FIFA, to whom does the rest of the money go to...?????

Is there any statute of limitations for labour disputes? I have a much stronger case against a previous school regarding illegal salary deductions dating back to 2014-16 that I never bothered to pursue after finding a much better job.

If it was just a 1 month contract then the landlord wouldn't get to keep the deposit. With a 12 month contract, if the tenant leaves early, the landlord keeps the deposit as compensation and then is able to look for a new tenant. According to your logic the landlord is entitled to double rent from the tenant who left early and any new tenant who moves in. Now if the landlord were to take all reasonable steps to find a new tenant and was unable to, then he may have a case to try and claim unpaid rent through the courts but it would depend on the wording of the contract and the appropriate Thai law.

I'm having this issue now with my CNG installation but the annual safety check is only around 500 baht usually. Unfortunately due to the high pressure of CNG, the tanks have a lifespan of 20 years. Mine is nearly up and I have been quoted 20,000 baht for a new one. LPG and NGV are both heavily subsidised now which is why they are so cheap, but who knows what the prices will be in 5 to 10 years time. LPG is also used for cooking gas but the price has already gone up quite a lot. Hydrogen will have the same issues with expired tanks because of the high pressure but LPG is probably fine although much more polluting.

You have to take a screenshot and then open it in Google translate. But the offers on Grab are pretty rubbish these days so I just use foodpanda which is already in English.

They are E10 so 10% ethanol.

You could be right although the price of 95 varies a lot and the government have been reducing the LPG subsidy as of late. How much is one litre of LPG now? But one litre of LPG is around 0.5 kg and one litre of 95 is around 0.75 kg so you can't only compare the prices at the pump. LPG works out cheaper than 95 but CNG is the cheapest at 16.6 baht/kg.

Hydrogen cars use an even higher pressure than CNG so the tank is also quite large but the cars are designed with space to accommodate these. With CNG conversions you lose a lot of boot space and refueling takes longer, especially when there's a long queue of taxis.

People are getting LPG and CNG (NGV) mixed up. 1 litre of LPG only weighs about half a kilo so it's not as cheap as it seems but it's low pressure so the tank is much smaller and takes up less space. NGV is under high pressure so the tanks are very large and the range is only around 200km but it's good for city driving as long as you live near an NGV station. Most taxis use CNG (NGV) because it's by far the cheapest option.

Who needs hydrogen when you have CNG. I've been using it in my car for years, currently 16.64 baht/kg.

Thanks for the clarification, I wonder who prints these labels. Probably a good idea to check the figures match on the EGAT website before making any future purchases.

Yes the old labels don't have stars and nearly every product received a level 5 rating so it was difficult for consumers to compare between them. Hence the new labels were introduced with 0-3 stars above the level 5 but clearly something went wrong as the fridge with 2 stars is worse than the fridge with 0 stars.

I believe the best rating is a level 5 with 3 stars.

Yes I agree the second one is better I was just curious how EGAT decided it gets a lower number of stars.

Yes they both have level 5 rating (as nearly all modern appliances do) but there is also a new sub rating between 1 and 3 stars which is indicated at the top.

I'm curious about these egat energy labels as I was comparing two Samsung refrigerators (both of them digital inverters). If I'm reading the labels correctly; it seems like the smaller fridge uses more electricity and yet it has a 2 star rating...but the bigger fridge uses less energy and only has a 0 star rating?

Looks in better condition than most of the public parks in Bangkok unfortunately.

Apparently the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat will increase the discharge rate to 2,900 to 3000 cubic metres a second from Saturday which will cause the water level to rise by 10-15 cm.

Which router are you using and what speeds are you getting? It seems difficult to find one that supports band 40 with 3CA without spending a fortune.

If the former leaseholder built the hotel and paid for the contents doesn't the contents of the hotel still belong to them when the lease expires? Or does the land owner get everything for free? It seems unwise to invest anything into a 30 year lease that you have no power to renew.

Interesting story although maybe she has a closer relationship with him than what she told you. Now where can I find myself a nice teenage student Chinese girl? (Presumably she's over 18).

That's still quite an achievement losing over a billion baht a month. And I'm not sure if the author understands percentages correctly...if something decreased by 100% wouldn't it be zero already?

I believe the two prior extensions charge a flat 15 baht fare regardless of the number of stops, so this new rate of up to 44 baht just for the extensions alone seems excessive.

There is a great shoe store at Union mall called Shoe Shi, they sell leather shoes imported from Italy at reasonable prices. They have a limited selection for larger sizes but they can custom order many styles for no extra cost if you can wait a few weeks. I bought some EU size 47s from there a few months ago which they ordered especially for me and delivered to my door, all for less than 2000 baht.

NGV is the cheapest at around 15.6 baht/kg. But you're right there aren't many stations around, luckily I live right next to one. At first I thought LPG was cheaper but it's sold by the litre and the density is much lower so one litre is only around half a kilogramme.
