Emmm, a bit strange colours on your oven. At least you schould check which wire ground (PE / Protection earth) is. Normally yellow-green nowdays. If you know how to handle a measuring device and if you have one, I can try to help you to to find out which colour PE is on your oven. Or if you have a manual for the oven - check it! Abbreviation RTFM -> Read The <deleted> Manual Good luck until then 🙂

If you have the possibility you can do following: Plug the oven to another socket (has to be a different circut breaker!!!). If you get the same fault, it should be the oven. If no fault -> wiring or circuit breaker problem

You might have a issue with your installation (wires), so don't be surprised after your "service" on the oven when the same thing happens.

The questions are: What does your oven use (power consumption)? Check the identification plate. kW, V, A? The calculation is simple: Normally we have here in Thailand 220V. If the breaker has 16A: 16 x 220 = 3520W (3.5kW) I don't think that your oven needs that much. So normally a 16A breaker (2.5sq/mm wires!) should be enough. What exactly trips? Is it only a power breaker (RCD) or is it a power breaker with earth leakage circuit breaker integrated? (RCBO). Drop me a line here if your problem still exists... Ah, just saw you found out yourself...

As far as I can see - the plastic bag is empty 🙂

"Only income remitted to Thailand is potentially taxable in Thailand, income that remains overseas is not taxable for foreigners." If somebody spends more money in Thailand than in his home country - I agree. I have the same lifestyle and spend much less. If my monthly pension will be taxable in Thailand is still not clear yet by the DTA between Thailand and my country. Anyway, I wish all of you happy moments to come. Of course you can go on to worry about something that isn't decided yet...

You can find the example of deductions etc. in the link I posted above. I checked shortly the link you posted. For me personally the most impportant (and for lots of others too): d) Only income remitted to Thailand is potentially taxable in Thailand, income that remains overseas is not taxable for foreigners. f) There is no double taxation but some types of income may be taxed at a different rate, some lower, some higher or some not at all. g) Dual Tax Agreements (DTA’s) exist between Thailand and over 60 countries, each is different, you must read and understand yours. j) As long as the rules of the relevant DTA are followed, there should be no double taxation and income that is taxed overseas should not be taxed twice. It is possible however that the right to tax income may shift from one country to another, depending on the terms of the DTA. Any tax paid on income in one country can be used to offset a tax liability on that income in the other country. This may result in a refund/credit of tax already paid, payment of additional tax, or nothing at all. 12) At the time of writing, there are still unanswered questions about exactly how the TRD will operationalise some aspects of the tax process and how some types of income will be managed for tax, relative to foreigners tax returns and their overseas income in Thailand. I really don't seem to understand the issue. If I pay taxes here or in my home country - no difference. Here I pay less...

In my oppinion we could all just calm down and relax a bit. NOTHING has changed so far. Here just a few lines, If you want to read the full text: https://immo-th.com/taxation-of-income-for-foreigners/ The Topic: Taxation of Foreign Income As is well known and the subject of heated debate, the government plans to introduce new rules (beginning in 2024) for the taxation of income earned by foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 180 days and remitted to Thai accounts. The current lack of information has led to frustration and uncertainty among foreign retirees. Today, we aim to address the situation especially for pensioners, as taxation for other foreigners—such as employees, digital nomads, dividend recipients, long-term visa holders, and investors with local income—is already clearly regulated. While the official announcement was made in 2023, there is still no clear guidance from the authorities on how taxpayers should be classified, how much tax should be due or how double taxation agreements shall be taken into account (status October 2024). This delay is largely due to the fact that the relevant government agencies are still reviewing the details and procedures. ... ----- Rumors and Misinformation In recent months, numerous articles, YouTube videos, and even TV reports in Thailand and abroad have spread misinformation, adding to the confusion. ... How much tax will I need to pay as a pensioner in Thailand if we are required to file tax returns in the future? Scenario 1: Your monthly pension is deposited into your account in your home country, where it may be subject to local tax regulations. If you withdraw funds from this account using your home country credit card at an ATM in Thailand or transfer them online to your Thai account, specifying that they are for “living expenses,” no taxes will be owed under current regulations. Tax treaties between Thailand and other countries also apply here and should be reviewed. In case of inquiries from Thai authorities, you can demonstrate that your funds are “old money” earned before January 1, 2024, by providing bank statements, tax returns, inheritance documents, etc., translated into English and certified by your embassy. Though this process requires effort, it will be acceptable to Thai authorities. However, if this approach is not feasible, or less advantageous from a tax perspective, you will need to declare your pension income in your tax return and pay taxes in the following year, assuming you have a TIN. Scenario 2 will provide a more detailed example of how tax burdens might be calculated. Scenario 2: You receive your pension directly into your bank account in Thailand. The annual pension amount is converted into Thai Baht using a pension certificate and certified by your embassy. You will use Thai tax return form number 91, which is in Thai script and typically requires assistance to complete. After entering your annual income (in this case, your pension), you first deduct allowable expenses, just like in your home country’s tax return process. Example Calculation Based on Euros for Taxation in Thailand: The pensioner receives a net income of €1,100 per month, which is approximately 42,000 THB/month, or around 504,000 THB/year. ..... In summary, a foreign taxpayer with a monthly pension income of €1,100, or €13,200 per year (equivalent to 504,000 THB), would pay approximately 200 Thai Baht in taxes. Enjoy life, relax and take it easy.

I'm not an expert either, just a few thoughts about your topic and my very personal oppinion... - As alreday mentioned above, 1hour running time isn't enough. Make your test for 24 hours. Seperatly, same conditions. - Are both compressors outside shaded the same way? If you can choose a location for the compressor, try to place it on a shady place insted of having it standing in the sun. Makes a difference in power consumption. - Your display on your mobile cant catch the peaks when a compressor starts. Newer compressors could maybe run / be controlled by frequency modulation, but I'm not sure if this is used for AC's. -
