  1. I went today at lunchtime.  I was the only customer. I am from the UK and a self-proclaimed chip geek. 

     

    I ordered the small cod and chips and mushy peas.  I started to read a news article on my tablet and before I had finished my food arrived.  This was a little suspicious for me.   I still cook chips, when back in the UK, the old fashioned way as my mum always did in a tradtional deep fat fryer with a lip for holding the basket above the oil to allow the oil to reheat before a second frying. I knew the chips could not have been cooked fresh.  They were too "narrow" to be real UK chip shop chips and a bit soft. 

     

    The fish batter was crisp and the cod very good.  The mushy peas were OK.

     

    Overall for 380 Bt it was OK.   It's not so easy to get great fish&chips in the UK so I woudn't expect perfection but I am a firm believer in freshly cut chips cooked to order.  For me, the other places I used to more regularly eat fish & chips at, provide better value for something comparable.

     

    I would knock of half a star for not having a plate large enough for all the food.

  2. Not if I leave it at the condo.  Are you talking about leaving it on charge whilst connected to the bike?

     

    I was thinking of taking to my friend that lives 15 minutes walk and leaving it outside in her  car port.  If I left it on charge in my condo with no one there I was thinking it could be a fire risk.

    Also I looked quite a lot on AliExpress and particularly at the brands with the most sales but still there were no clear choices on which charge to buy.  This is on of those "bigger" brands.

  3. I spend a lot of time, up to 6 months, away from Thailand and usually leave my bike with a friend. Most times they take the battery off the bike.

     

    The last time which included the flooding the battery was dead.

     

    I bought a high quality FB battery. I watched a YouTube video about how to take care of batteries which said I should keep it on a trickle charger.

     

     

    I might be away for 10 months this time and leave the bike under a covered section at my condo.

     

    Is that safe? Should I leave battery at another friends where it would be charged outdoors in their car port?

  4. I can confirm I am in Chiang Mai.  I went to the smaller HomePro on the superhighway near Decathlon and also Mega near Big C Don Chan.  Both had a range of heaters, HomePro had 2 models of tap/fawcett and Mega 1.

     

    The condo I stayed in on holiday at the beginning of the month had the Mex heater and it worked well.

     

    Thank you to everyone for taking time to contribute.  Right now I am but busy with Christmas so I will be back to going out to look for one at the end of this week whilst still considering an online purchase.

     

    Merry Christmas all.

  5. I think I am on my 3rd cold only kitchen sink tap/fawcett since I bought my condo 16 years ago so I know quality varies a lot.

     

    I was planning to get these:

    and NocNoc which I've never bought from before has the best prices.

    You asked for hot/cold and the Kohler has hot and cold.

     

    I did appreciate that you replied with an option so thank you for that but the Kohler costs 15k Bt in Thailand and the Eve 2590 Bt and I would find it hard to justify the increased cost for the convenience of a touch sensor.

  8. I did see online some touch fawcetts, it wasn't clear exactly what they did or how they worked or why you would complicate a simple manual mechanical valve with a motor/servo/solenoid or whatever.

     

    My objection to the white/back silicone ones is pure is a purely aesthetic one but maybe I could reconfigure my perception to think of it as cool and high tech.

  9. As there is no specific home improvement/DIY sub forum I am posting here.

     

    I have been looking for a hot/cold kitchen sink mixer tap (ก๊อกน้ำอ่างล้างจาน ก๊อกน้ำผสม ร้อน เย็น) that is flexible.  I saw a couple of rigid ones in HomePro and another in Mega.

    This is the only one I have found online, althought on a recent trip to the beach, the condo I stayed in, had a stainless steel one as in the picture below which is the same as the cold only one I currently have.

     

    Has anyone seen this type anywhere that is hot and cold?  I know this is not such a common item in Thailand.
