"...the project is expected to generate about 62 billion baht in annual revenue through medical tourism..." That would be 170 million baht in revenue per day. Even after accounting for related medical tourism income such as lodging and food, I think their estimate might be off by an order of magnitude or so.

Many times, shipping is free if ordering a minimum amount from that particular vendor. For example, the product page will say something like "Free Delivery 999B +"

Normally, if the pump is leaking you would only need to replace the actual pump portion of the pump/motor combination. Just as in the case of a car whose transmission fails, you replace only the transmission and not the whole engine/transmission assembly. But... in your case with the manufacturer not operating in Thailand any longer, you may have no choice other than to replace the whole pump. With that said, Hayward makes a very good pump. When I needed to replace a pump, I ordered the same brand and model because I thought it would be a simple swap out with no plumbing modifications required. I was wrong though, as the inlet and outlet locations changed slightly in the newer version. In any event, you will most likely have to modify some of the plumbing when installing a new unit. Make sure you get new union fittings for connecting to the new pump, as you probably won't be able to re-use the existing ones. Pumps are usually mounted on a concrete slab or pad. You may want to consider pouring a small slab. You'll definitely need to modify the inlet and outlet pipes to accommodate a different pump location, but try to avoid adding sharp angles if possible.

What was the elapsed time between application and receiving the visa? We did a fiance visa many years ago, and the interview occurred about 6 months after the application was submitted. At that time, fiance applications were being processed much faster than marriage applications (approximately a 1 year wait). I think the OP is looking for a visa that can be obtained relatively quickly, thus going down the tourist visa road, albeit with a very slim chance of arriving.

That's a great suggestion - thanks! I'll probably go with a battery maintainer and plug a GPS tracker in the OBD2 port.

Unfortunately, can't make my son-in-law an "ex".

An IP camera is do-able, but trying to avoid running power (or PoE in the case of a wired camera) to it. Checking the mileage is impossible when I'm 8,000 miles away for months at a time.

I'm not worried about the car being stolen, and I don't want it immobilized. I just want to be notified whenever someone uses the car, and know where it was driven. There's a trust issue with a family member who has permission to use the car only in an emergency. I want to know if the car is being used on a regular basis or for other purposes.

Thanks. This one has a stated battery life of 14 days, whereas I'll need several months, or a unit that has a very low drain on the car's battery. This one also has a proprietary SIM card and subscription service. I'm hoping to find something that can use a local SIM without an add-on tracking subscription.

There's a product called Walabot that was heavily promoted in the US a couple of years ago that attaches to your phone and claims to see just about anything up to 4" deep into the wall. Not sure how well it works on block walls, but you might want to have a look to see if it would be of any use for your situation.

I'm looking for recommendations for a car GPS tracker. This is for a new car (so there's an OBD2 port), but I'm concerned about the battery being drained since the car will probably not be used for several months at a time. What I'm hoping to get from a tracker is a notification (or some way to easily determine on my cellphone or PC) that the car has been moved, and where it went. I know that there are scores of inexpensive trackers (both OBD2 connected and hardwired) on Lazada, but I have no idea how they affect the battery on an inactive car. Has anyone had a similar requirement that can recommend a device?

A lot of this mass of cable pre-dates fiber internet - it's been like this for a couple of decades. I believe a considerable amount is twisted pair copper, but as previously mentioned it's probably too difficult to determine which wires are in use and which aren't, so they're just left hanging there.
