The C25 breaker seems to be for a water heater [ น้ำอุ่น = warm water ].

I've had that experience (once) but it wasn't in a near death experience, it was in a sporting situation. Everybody else was in slowmo but I wasn't. It was a short (a few seconds) but interesting experience that I wish I could replicate. It's my belief that the brain can sometimes do different and unexpected things to us and that was one of them. Perhaps NDEs are the same as the people are still alive but their minds and bodies are not in their usual state.

Maybe you're right, SAFETY FIRST, maybe you aren't. Siwiek can let us know. I would like clarification on one part of the OP that seems unusual to see what they really meant. There's nothing wrong with that.

I wonder if we have misunderstood what the OP meant when he wrote "picks me out of the line". Perhaps the OP was actually at the immigration desk at the time the IO spoke to him and then the IO took the OP from there to somewhere else - rather than being in the middle of a queue and suddenly being pulled out. Being at the desk would make more sense because the IO would have the OP's travel history in front of him and would be more likely to be in a position deem denial of entry would be best. @siwiek Can you clarify the situation and confirm if you were actually at the IO's desk at the time he took you aside, please?

My guess is that the IO only wanted to see the OP's boarding passes so he knew (and had evidence of) exactly which flight the OP had arrived on, so presumably Immigration could then return the OP from where he came.

If the wattage is for example 500 watts you can work out the power consumption simply by multiplying the wattage by the number of hours. The voltage is irrelevant to that calculation. 500w x 12 hrs = 6kw hours. .

Nowadays you can do both. In the old days when ordinary consumers mostly bought incandescent lamps, knowing the wattage was enough because you could compare the light given from one lamp to another using watts because all/most lamps used the same inefficient technology. A 100w bulb gave off more light than a 60w bulb and a 60w bulb gave off more light than a 40w bulb. The same went for the old fluorescent tubes, but they were more efficient than incandescent lamps. However, nowadays modern lamps/bulbs such as LED lamps are much more efficient than the old technology incandescent lamps but incandescent lamps are still available (and people still buy light bulbs thinking in watts) so manufacturers try to help consumers by adding extra information such as equivalent wattage and/or the lumens given off by the lamp. Wattage still refers to power and lumens to light but you can use the information to compare products and buy something that suits your needs. For example, a 13.5w LED lamp that I recently bought gives off 1521 lumens and the manufacture states that this is the equivalent of a 100w incandescent bulb. Light given off 1521 lumens. Old technology 100w power usage. New technology 13.5w power usage. The bulb uses 13.5 watts of power but the light given out is equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb.

Wattage relates to power. Light is usually expressed in Lumens.

You can still contradict posts by members who have you on ignore. They might not read your post but you can still contradict them.

My wife like lamb, my daughter likes it, my sister-in-law likes it and her daughter likes it. All Thai, all like lamb. As said earlier, Tops usually have legs of lamb, and depending on where you live there might be other options available. There used to be a shop in Nong Khai that sold legs of lamb.

A name in the house book does not indicate ownership of the property. It just states who "officially" lives there - even if they don't actually live there.

"a local horse racing track which has been closed for four years." "The track, located within the Suranaree Army Camp, has been closed since February 28 this year," Four years have passed since February 28 this year? Oh my, how time flies!!

A foreign woman approached by a foreign man. Shocking. How dare they.

So bikerlou47 and lambaci are you both on what some people call the keto diet?

It sounds a lot but isn't that only an average of about 50,000 baht each? (3.5 billion divided by 71,000). Any maths teachers here? .

It's my view that police at roadblocks in Thailand usually focus on only one thing. For example: helmets licences drink driving drugs illicit goods I've been stopped at roadblocks a few times but waved on many more times, presumably because I didn't fit the profile of the kind of driver they were looking for.

I hope you chose the option to go to the police station. Time is money. Going to the police station with you means less time for the cop to make money at the side of the road. IME, you'll be waved in with a polite warning to be more careful next time.

I prefer black tea to green tea. I add milk to my black tea but not to my green tea. I don't add sugar to my tea but when I was a lot younger I added it to my black tea.

Hopefully Washington will step in and decide that the former pilot should go to the US, but as the pilot arrived in Britain and not the US perhaps that means he doesn't actually want to go to the US.

Hi Britmantoo. Where did you get that info from? The Dairy Global article that bbko posted a link to? If so, I think you have misunderstood what you read. The article does not say that 40% of Thai milk comes from NZ, another 11% from OZ. It says that: "The top 3 leading exporters of dairy products to Thailand are New Zealand (40.6% market share), Australia (11.1%), and the US (6.6%). New Zealand and Australia together make up about 50% of Thailand’s dairy imports and have free trade agreements with Thailand." So, of all the dairy products Thailand imports, 40% comes from New Zealand and 11% comes from Australia, So, 40% and 11% of dairy products imported into Thailand, not of all Thai milk. It does not say what percentage that is of all milk in Thailand. It could be any figure, maybe even zero. Also, the article says "dairy products", not milk. I have seen a lot of New Zealand cheese for sale in Thailand but I have never seen New Zealand or Australian milk.

65% for me. I recognise 22 of them. I don't recognise 11. I am not sure about the other one.
