Very interested to hear of any Chiang Mai residents experiences with solar installations ie,,,, which company they used, are they happy with the results, and did / does the system they were sold do what it is meant to do.. also battery storage system experiences as the house we are building has limited access to power Thanks.

Thanks Eric, they appear to be cheaper than most, are a chinese operation i think, and are not onsite at the airport

Please ignore, they have been deleted from options

having recently had 2 previous car rental experiences at the airport, neither pretty has anyone had experience with a crowd called Yesaway thank you.

Thanks to you all, , have ordered a mower, a raptor / briggs and stratton engine i had a "very old " mower decades ago in Aus with a B & S motor it ran for nearly 30 years, admittedly they are most likely chinese made now, so i hope i get one that actually works ill post an update when it arrives as to its perceived value

i hope a few members have a lawn mower, or know what machines actually are worth buying i have 800 sqm of lovely lush noi noi grass that is a pain to whipper snip every week i have found a genuine ? honda mower for about 30 k, ouch. the other contenders are generic brands that have a honda motor around 15 k and a daewoo for about 10 k your thoughts , comments, suggestions appreciated...

Thanks, one out of two aint bad...

Are these available in Thailand anywhere Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has seen, or uses these eyedrops if they are available anywhere in Chiang Mai.. Thank You

i thank you all for your insights and suggestions i am aware of the mechanisms in place in Aust and have those bases covered like most things in life, its a judgement call ill just have " to choose wisely "

Why ?? i know the money in the Australian Bank IS guaranteed the way the account/s are set up t

i wish to transfer a substantial amount of money from my Australian bank account into My Kasikorn Bank account here in the order of $ 700,000 AUD for a housing project my question is, is that money safe and guaranteed in Kasikorn bank ? i read sometime back, that only deposits up to an amount of 1 Mill THB ?? was guaranteed.. is that correct ? if a bank is not a safe place " lord forbid " to park money what other institution is safe in your learned opinions.. Thank You.

i am having installed in a few weeks 2 large round porthole feature windows . the frames are coming pre coated in white from the factory. i am wanting to spray paint them a more suitable colour, either a red or a dark blue the product that is supposedly suitable is a Nippon Paint Pylac 1000 has anyone had experience with this or any other product suitable for spraying over pre finished aluminium frames or other pre painted / coated metal products any recommended products, experiences welcome. Thanks.. 10072021_31342Imagec1_002.webp

The Piano is and will be somewhat elevated off the ground sitting on concrete footings, so im hoping thats a help its been it its Current " waiting position " for 2 months now and not a sign of the little frickers at all fortunately im on a decent sized block with ample opportunity to give them food away from the house and piano there was a "big " mound down near a huge bamboo tree that was disposed of, perfect spot for termites i guess with all that leaf matter etc

Good work Dr Jack that will give the frickers a lot more fibre in their diet

Someone must be a good cook looks like party time one year you say ?

I dont have access to town water so i'm reliant solely on well water, quantity unknown. and in the event of it running dry or being unusable, id rather have 20000 litres in tanks , free water, unlike the prices ive had for carting it in. the tanks would pay for themselves in no time.

Thanks for all the replies, i knew it had not been prepared properly as i watched some of the antics on show it seems its either got to be re-done, that is if they can strip off what remains , clean it, prime it and repaint or ditch the colour and have plain, id rather have colour. or the boring colour option of PVC, brown or white ?? and yes i realise there will be maintenance required, i just sort of hoped that the job initially might have been of a better standard but i should have known..... as for the reason, i have a large area of grass, and use well water. i dont know how long it will last, and im one for reusing where possible and to see tens of thousands of litres wasted, is a shame i have plenty of water tanks , for storage 20,000 in total

Recently installed Zinc roof gutters about 4 months ago they were "painted " well someone attempted to spray some paint in their general direction they were NOT cleaned, and the oily film was just painted over Well its all coming off, in big and little chunks and the hangers are mostly devoid of paint The builder will correct the problem. is there guttering that is prepainted properly, or even better, colourbond guttering available in Thailand. Thanks.

Well the current infestation is in full swing down here in Prachuap. 5 nights , 5 mornings of sweeping vacuuming cleaning etc etc the house and new building are piped with god only knows what chemicals, but my question is regarding timber outside i have an upright piano thats being used , or will be used as a water feature what treatment is suggested to treat / spray the piano to lessen or hopefully eliminate the risk of it being consumed Thanks..

Thanks, ive "asked " at numerous places including plant nurseries that i now know quite well and come up with a blank, or a suggestion of somewhere close that ive already been tried looking for the thakop / ta kobe tree with no joy.

Thanks for all the tips it seems that now we have a grub infestation thats eating the roots and causing a lot of very semi dead looking areas, ill have to fix that first before fertilising and / or black soil any recommendations for a high nitrogen fertiliser, bearing in mind there is 700 odd SQ Metres to do

I think thats called "sandwash " ??
