Washing Machine Recommendation?
If it had separate hot and cold fill, it doesn't (never had) a heater installed and the trick is to connect the hot inlet to a heated water supply (and the cold inlet to a cold water supply). The key here is the word 'fill'. I bought a US- style Whirlpool top loader about 16 years ago. Still works and that is out the back of the house for floor mats, dog blankets, work clothes and the like. It has separate hot and cold inlets with the former plumbed to the Ariston hot water heater in the kitchen. Otherwise it would be a cold/cold washing machine like you bought.

Washing Machine Recommendation?
Cold wash and hang in the sun works for you but Mrs NL would beg to differ. Especially in the rainy season.

Washing Machine Recommendation?
The owner would probably be pleased to see a new Siemens front loader.? There's a 7 kg model for about 15k baht on lazada. That's the latest version of the one we have that was around 10k baht new maybe 7 years ago. Still going strong and big enough for a 4-piece family. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/siemens-wm08e261th-i976212452-s2094656971.html To answer the question about water temp from another member, the 90 degree option is great and more hygeinic for towels and bed linens and not just for heavily soiled stuff.

Well drilling and Ground Penetrating Radar - Does anyone know a company that does that in Pattaya
Not sure if GPR is an imperative for a good water well location as the depths are limited depending on what makes up the near-surface. Hopefully a current Pattaya resident will have some guidance on a drilling company.

What should I do if I no longer find my wife attractive?
If your continued marital status is the foundation of your legal right to stay in Thailand long-term and post endless inanities here, then you should do the right thing, up your game and flaunt your extra-marital dalliances to the fullest.

What Car You Driving?
Many do !!! 555 The car you drive seems to show your status!!! A black Morphy Richards 6-slice Automatic pop-up with rapid defrost option (red plates) It originally was a 4-slice import but I know a chap down Rayong way who's a beast with a torch and Bondo.

Looks like most who voted are (still) tuna fanboys. It must be discouraging to be forced to drive what she likes. Soul destroying even but then again, it is hers isn't it?

Nominate your top 4 posters
American Indians don't apparently. They just wander off and expire quietly and let the criturs and elements turn the bits they don't need any more to dust while the spirit moves on. That's the way I would like to shuffle off this mortal coil but chances are some nosey buggar will stumble across my decaying remains in a pineapple plantation in Huayyai and loads of idiots on here will speculate on another gangland topping or an angry Thai wife insurance killing.* So, it's back to the balcony then... and quickly too before the OP comes back. * She's not angry, honest.

Why i like Thailand
Can you sleep on the step outside a 7-eleven enjoying the aircon blasting thorugh the sliding door? When you can do that withiout being kicked, then you've attained your rightful place in Thai society.

Why i like Thailand
They probably respect the tourists. It's just these long-time, low-budget or broke-assed farang squatters, digital pikeys and pension refugees without the proverbial pot who they're rightfully dismissive of.

Prawit Wongsuwan visits site of firework explosion in Narathiwat
They've been meeting with business leaders from all sectors of Thai industry, attending rallies and other events and gladhanding with all sorts of entities so what's stopping them showing some concern here?

Prawit Wongsuwan visits site of firework explosion in Narathiwat
About a week or more late. What's a "week or more" when the election was 86 days ago? Anyway, it's great to see Thailand's future PM doing the needful and looking truly statesmanlike while he's at it. BTW, has anyone from the Pita Platoon or the Srettha Syndicate bothered to visit? Platitudes offered maybe? No?

My Landlord Stop Me from Leaving the Country
Exactly. There have been several posts here by "experts" saying immigration don't care when the reality is they will care when a red flag from a court order pops up in their immigration database that tells them to. Yes it will cost the landlord money but the OP (who seems to have vanished anyway) has no idea if his 'bad vibe' landlord has the money and/or connections that make pursuing it in court worthwhile. Over in Malaysia, the authorities are clamping down on their own nationals who work offshore or overseas but are delinquent on their personal tax affairs. They find themselves being denied exit at ports and airports by, wait for it... immigration officers, who refer them to the revenue department. No passport seizure needed as the red flag makes it as usefull as a bank passbook.

U.S. Retired Expats -- is there really any good reason to worry about your credit score any more?
Where do the credit agencies get this address information on ANYONE from? Now back to the hypothetical customer who now lives overseas and has successfully opened an account at the SDFCU with NO home address information requested or given. What would show as his credit score when he logs in?

U.S. Retired Expats -- is there really any good reason to worry about your credit score any more?
That's your account login where you have an address on file with them? I wonder what shows as their credit score when a new customer who has not supplied an address logs in?

U.S. Retired Expats -- is there really any good reason to worry about your credit score any more?
Thanks for that clarification. Nice quirk if you qualify! Don't the credit bureau's need an address(es) in order to assess one's credit history? In the UK, if one registers on the voter's roll (confirms one's fixed abode?), it apparently works towards enhancing one's credit rating.

This suggests that if you already have an account in good standing with a SDFCU you may be denied. Did any of these people suggest why it was declined? May not have been a credit issue. What address do you have as your SDFCU account address? AFAIK, the closest that any bank card issuer came to having a global view on credit worthiness were those that subscribed to HSBC's 'global' account malarkey and moved around. Does SDFCU allow an account with a Thai address? Most US banks, same as UK banks, want a domestic 'home' address. The only people that seem to get a break on domicile are those wishing to open 'wealth management' accounts with the likes of Citibank in Singapore where $200,000+ assures that you can live anywhere and not have to worry about credit checks.

Extra-long weekend in Thailand: here’s what you need to know
So you keep saying but it's funny how you've missed how the police have to buy the way up their promotion path. That's why all the top ranks are stuffed with the most honest, professional and capable officers ensuring that law enforcement is number one. At my oldest lads last school, the head of their English Department notably couldn't read or write the language. I wonder how she managed to get that position?
