Four Charges Filed Against Driver in Bus Fire That Killed 23
scott1999 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The very first job of any driver is to check the emergency doors before the customers enter the vehicle. Having held PSV license which was replaced by the Operator’s License (O-Licence) Which then became the PCV. As I said on my Facebook post (Just to add to this video as a driver I would rather have died in the fire trying to save the children there is just no chance that I could have left anyone on that bus, impossible) Any driver worth their salts would never leave the children on the bus they would get them off first, before trying to put the fire out. The things that surprised me the most about these buses and coaches are the paraphernalia hanging from the ceiling flammable flags plastic fans other ridiculous mementoes it make the Vehicle a tinderbox. Here's an idea instead of spending 300,000 on a respray with cartoon characters on the outside buy some new tires get some flame resistant seats train your drivers what to do in an emergency and have a government agency come on a regular basis to check the vehicles.- 167 replies

Thanks for the feedback I will definitely post the whole bill when the next one comes as I said up until now the bills have been meaningless as it's been a wrong meter and a combined wrong and right meter this new bill will be the first I will be able to or sorry we will be able to clarify the amount per unit with or without VAT and charges. Thanks again for your interest the amount I pay per unit will affect whether I buy more fridges or go solar more quickly.

This is the first month of the correct meter so I will count the units used and Times by 3 then 4 then 5 less the VAT of course, to see what baht per unit I am paying. My Ex-Girlfriend will contact PEA tomorrow for clarity, You can see my (cough) fridges are only using 2900w as I have got them on a low power mode, The Volts are good and the Amps are nice too.

Don't kick yourself we are where we are, and as you say we are still early. I like that idea of just taking it with you when you die. But I also have to consider my dogs I rescue dogs at the moment I've got 12 and one of the reasons I am doing this with the mining and the solar panels is so that someone can take it over when I die without having to worry about the money I've been a bad man in my life but I'm trying to do good now.

Hi Sorry if I came across as a bit guarded but there are some complete muppets on this platform now. My original purpose for coming back to TV was to get help With the electrics. Which I got and I'm thankful for the people that helped me. I couldn't agree with you more BTC all the way for me. I'm old now but I'm really enjoying this hobby investment lifestyle I don't know what you'd call it? But I've always been a person who doesn't want to sell anything whether it a house a car but they all die eventually. With Bitcoin it's generational wealth and you don't have to do very much to keep it going. I don't even want to sell it I'm just happy with this lifestyle if that makes any sense.

Hi PeeMeeMai Everything in Thailand can be questioned. You said.... could be wrong but mining BTC here is considered a business and is frowned upon by the Thai authorities because of the high amount of electricity it uses and the "impact on the climate" as reported in many online news articles. I have done some checking and even the PEA is ok. As for the impact on the climate, I'm using second-hand solar panels that would be going into a landfill, so I feel I'm doing my bit for the environment. You said....Has been frowned upon. I did read an article that the government's happy as long as you pay tax on any profits of which it's going to take me a long time after all the investment to make any profits so it's up to them I'll do whatever they say till then I'll keep going. as for stealing the electricity anyone who does that deserves what they get. Thank you again PS The site of the solar farm is my land next to the villa I intend to do something like the second picture and the PEA are helping me to do it

I've been doing some research on cutting the price down and doing it myself with the help of the electrician that works for the PEA. To determine the number of 550-watt solar panels needed for a 60-kilowatt (60,000-watt) solar power system, you can use the following calculation: Number of Panels=Total System Power (W)Power per Panel (W)\text{Number of Panels} = \frac{\text{Total System Power (W)}}{\text{Power per Panel (W)}}Number of Panels=Power per Panel (W)Total System Power (W) In this case, the total system power is 60,000 watts and each panel produces 550 watts. So, Number of Panels=60,000 W550 W/panel\text{Number of Panels} = \frac{60,000 \text{ W}}{550 \text{ W/panel}}Number of Panels=550 W/panel60,000 W Number of Panels≈109.09\text{Number of Panels} \approx 109.09Number of Panels≈109.09 Since you can't have a fraction of a solar panel, you would need 110 panels to meet or exceed the 60-kilowatt requirement. I can buy second-hand panels for 1500 each time's by 110 equals 165000 Plus an inverter 80 kilowatt 159000 Could it be possible I could do a 60KILOWATT system for under 400,000? That would run four machines cough fridges. https://shopee.co.th/product/74367303/23944836612?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgpCzBhBhEiwAOSQWQd4alUV0G_z-v5oCrwVWg2M9jv7SDg_uTvYIqcZq1tW2_Uh5g7VW6xoCXv4QAvD_BwE&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0iCiu781LzNVZ7Y-DBZM-lMHBe_KDQruQusq9YIpwAol94VYN2QfgMxiA_aem_AdszI1XTjd0ihNcEx60qls10bAH3fNtEMAM6f7v77567jmQZxK_o_E0JXEh_fHlOg6ro1Q2yXSqt3XO1B1qf34U8

Great questions but before I begin I will never do anything as silly as stealing electricity complete no no for me. Your number 1. Mine only during the day with a small energy storage system to bridge over those dull patches, adjusting your consumption to match production. This is a strong possibility as it's cheaper and I can use Tariff TOU = off-peak = 2.5 baht a unit 2,3,4 NO 5. Very very strong possibility As I said try and keep costs down no batteries and the biggest system I can get legally. Side note This is interesting I'm enjoying the Bitcoin aspect as well as the solar system aspect. I think, I said to you before I would buy as many machines as I could, to get through the next bull run. But even at 4 Baht A unit, the cost of running these machines is excessively costly. so I think I'm going to have to change my plans and do it bit by bit. 4 machines Equals a 60KW system I think I'm going to have to do it in stages to keep the cost of the electricity down. In conclusion, number 1 and number 5 or a bit of both LOL Thanks again for your experience and knowledge in this matter I do appreciate it.

I told the PEA man not to come as big rain today. But he said he can build the frame and lay the panels then connect the system to the grid. Size is not a problem he said. If I want it in writing I can ask the office to do. I'm sure there will be many problems to come. But so far so good. This is a rural, next to me is the farm that this villa was part of till his daughter borrowed money against it and lost it to the bank. around me, there are only resorts. So I think PEA are ok for me to be semi-commercial as I am already on a small commercial tariff. The outer wall of my villa is south-facing from the land so it will look like the picture I have included. Thanks again for all your help everyone
