    What do you do at Songkran? (Survey)

    in General Topics

    Posted

    I enjoy Songkran the more traditional style on the countryside. This year we (the kids) enjoyed in Khao Tao with the locals, which was also very nice.

    I don't splash water but use the blessing style.

    I also don't like the big water battles which have no more in common with the spirit of Songkran.

    Stiebel water heater - suggestions?

    in DIY Forum

    Did you look already at the spec of your old unit?
     
    I doubt that with a 4500 Watt unit you're able to fill a bath with hot water, but as you say that you're used to taking baths, you unit must have been sufficient.
     
    So if you were taking baths before, I suspect your unit was more then 4.5Kw, and if you house hasn't burned down yet your wiring will be sufficient.
     


    4.5 kW is not enough, indeed!

    My experience is that a 6 kW heater can deliver a temperature of 45 °C, the 8 kW heater about 55 °C.

    45 °C is enough for a shower, but the water flow may be too low. With 55 °C you have to mix and there for a higher water flow.

    leather car seat?

    Ah ...You like getting a very hot bum ? ... too:smile:


    I also feared this, because I preferred fabric seats back in Europe. My Thai girlfriend and wife now wanted leather seats.

    We avoid to park in the bright sun. We also use 60% window firm and drive white cars. The aircons of modern cars cool the car down very fast.

    So I never had problems with a «hot bum». The steering wheel can get hot, but this is only a problem the first 1-2 minutes.

    I only use leather seats in all my cars since 2008. I always buy the model with leather seats and I am very happy with them. I don't have long-term experience because we change the car about every 3 years.

    H-RV or Eco-Sport or something else?

    Get yourself a Ford.  Man, they are so good. Mechanics hate them - never in the garage for repairs.  Anyone who says Fords are frauds are buckets of masquerading as a motor vehicle is clueless.  And the design -so attractive.  
     
    Forget the Honda.  They only were only any good at making motor bikes anyway.  Noisy,  so bad, With the wife whinging and the radio going off - just noisy as hell.  Don't start me on the build quality of a Ford compared to a Honda.  The Japs don't know . USA quality - awesome.


    The Ford Everest and Ranger are good and have quit a good reputation in Thailand. This is not the case with the Ford Fiesta, Focus and Ecosport. You only see a few of them. Why?

    I assume you are kidding with «USA quality», isn't it? All Ford sold in Thailand are made in Thailand, too.

    Honda and Toyota have a very hight reputation in Thailand. The resale value is high and that is one of the main reason, why the Thai buy them. You also find a dealer just in every village. So these Brands cannot be bad, if they are so successful on the market.

    I have a CX-3 and I love it. It is the most fun to drive of all and the best-looking in my opinion. The back seats are ok, but the trunk is small.

     

    The HR-V is the best according comfort and space.

     

    Honda and Mazda have also a lot of safety options.

     

    The Ecosport is cheaper and also looks cheap to me. The back door is a disadvantage in tight parking situations. The reputation of Ford is not so good in Thailand, especially for the small models. But you seems to have a good experience and so Ford might be a good option in your case.

     

    The Subaru XV is a bigger car, like the upcoming Toyota C-HR.

     

    There is also the Nissan Juke, the first of this kind of vehicle. The styling is controversial, indeed.

     

    If you don't want to stay with Ford, I recommend the Honda and the Mazda. But you should make a test drive with them.

     

    Why don't visit the Bangkok Motorshow where you can see all these cars?

    Thank you Juehoe. This is a great help. I will explore further.


    I use wix.com for my website. It took some time until I understood the concept, but now making changes and updates is easy.

    So you are not dependent from somebody else. I often hear stories where the web designer «disappeared»...
