Actually, AOT is public company, which is kind of strange, as it's a 'spin off' of gov't agency, along with being the major stock holder of 70%. AOT controls the 6 international airports ... ... Suvarnabhumi Airport ... Bangkok International Airport ... Phuket International Airport ... Chiang Mai International Airport ... Hat Yai International Airport ,,, Chiang Rai Samui Airport is privately owned and operated by Bangkok Airways. Most flights from the island are operated by Bangkok Airways.

Shocking surge: Thai electricity tariffs set to spark debate
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Assuming that's kWh/units on your bill, which is a 5k-7.5k baht bill. Our system is 8kWh, means the hybrid inverter will accept about 8kWh from the panel, and put out about 8kWh to the house/load. Any more, and it will shut down. Our system is just enough, on crappy, overcast, rainy days, to supply enough for the house, and recharge the ESS/batteries, we use for overnight/non production hours (14 hrs). That's about 6-8kWh overnight. When not home, house uses about 4kWh, just keeping the 2 frigs running, and maybe 1 light. On a good, very sunny day, and using everything w/EV plugged in, we can produce & use 50kWh, total, for house, top up batteries, and EV. That's about our max production/use, and don't think we could squeeze too much more out of it. On a crappy day, lucky to get 10kWh, total. I don't 5kWh system would meet your full requirements, or even 8kWh. 10kWh (two 5kWh for redundancy) would work for you. If you're home during the daytime, 5kWh would certainly supplement a good part of your bill. ESS add a good bit of the cost of any system. If not home during the day, then benefits of solar wouldn't really be realized, unless using a lot overnight, which would require a lot of ESS/battery storage. Panel sizes are about 2m² (2 X 1), and we have 18 X .540w = 9.7kWh produce. About 40m² of roof need. Split even, 9 panels facing S & W. Any more, and would be waste, as inverter will only accept so much. We don't have East facing, so lose a bit in the early sunrise. -
That's definitely the wrong place to gain info and form an opinion ... Just a few folks with more gun knowledge/experience than yourself.

A .223 is same as what comes out of a M16. Larger shell of course. I wouldn't want to hit with a little ol' 22LR, as it picks up some speed on the way. As proven, the results can be deadly. Ruger Mini 14, promo as a 'range rifle' for vermin, when first released. Also fires the same cartridge as the M16. Don't let that '.22' designation fool you.

If you can't aim or shoot well, then use the right tools for the right job. They make some amazing scopes. Thankfully he was a total idiot. R I P to the victim, hopefully it stays at 1.

Trump rushed off stage after possible assassination attempt
KhunLA replied to DPat's topic in World News
45 yrs in USA, and I've never seen anyone running around with gun, except myself. Sure plenty carry concealed, hopefully with a permit, if required. Police will arrest anyone they see carrying a gun, illegally or without a permit, for that state. I'm living proof Permit for PA, not FL ... oops -
Shocking surge: Thai electricity tariffs set to spark debate
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Don't know an installer in the NE, we used one based in Hua Hin. 2nd story shouldn't be a problem. We don't clean our panels, and think the wife rinsed them down once. Rainy season keeps them clean, and they don't get that dirty to interfere with production non rainy season. Always seems to be a spot of rain during 'dry/cool' season. So we don't bother. EV makers here/TH, most provide wall charging cables, along with installation, unless EV on sale, and one way the cut their cost. Daughter got a sale price for her BYD, w/wall charger, but had to pay for installation @ 15k baht, I think. Far from $8k USD. Our MG came with wall charger & installation. Which we rarely use, since that is on the grid. We use the granny/emergency charging cable that also comes with the EV. Slower, but the solar will handle it with no problem. 2.3kWh vs 7.4kWh draw from the wall charging cable. Our system is only 8kWh, so not connected to it. -
Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
KhunLA replied to Rimmer's topic in The War in Ukraine
He could probably care less about winning anything. Guess he and cronies have more than a few healthy bank accounts. 10s of millions of $$$ of aid go missing as he keeps on asking for more. -
Way overdue for a price increase. Actually cost less to operate & maintain being electric.

Made a batch with Jameson, damn tasty, and very close. Small tweak and I think I could copy it rather well.

Yea ... not understanding the need for the large plot, as that's a 70m X 70m plot. Better just rent a place that backs up to a National Park area, if you want to be in nature a bit. A plot that large, as stated, will need maintaining, or be farmland. And if you're bored now, living extreme rural, isn't going to help. Nice for a weekend of R&R, but everyday living, think it will get to you sooner or later .... probably much sooner.

If I'm spending a 1000 baht on some tipple, it's going to be Bailey's. Over ice or in your coffee ... BLISS. A bit addicting though

Tell us about the idols of your pre adolescent self

Curious George & Pippi ..from the book club at school. OP did state 'pre-adolescence' Bob Hayes got me into track & field. A good thing, as PoPo could never catch my butt -
Don't drink wine, or any alcohol of late. Simply an additional cost to everyday spending ... the hotel and charging the EV. We need to eat, no matter where we are, so just little extra for dining out, every day. As stated, I think, rural TH, and hotel/guesthouse run from 500-800, and think a couple nights were 1000 baht. Go to Krung Thep, and more like 1500-3500 baht a night. Actually hard to find accommodations that are pet friendly in the mid to higher end, or they want some silly 'pet fee', with silly rules. We don't use the amenities anyway, so no desire to pay more. Single bungalow with some green around, for the dog, and a nice view for us is way more important. I don't travel to relax at the hotel, I do that at home 24/7. Just give me a balcony/veranda/porch with a view, with morning coffee or evening tea, and I'm happy.
