So in 6 months of investigation by the Dept of Employment, 306,577 foreign nationals were investigated, of which 1,689, a whole half percent, were working illegally and of those 721 were directly competing with work that should have been done by a Thai. Hardly a threat to the Thai economy is it?

Appears to be a Yutong.

Well the weather map told us we were under a torrential downpour most of the day but it's time for bed now and not a drop has touched us in our part of Kanchanaburi.

"....leading to a stern warning from the Department of National Parks" My God, only a severe warning left.

Wonder what the artist was on conjuring up that fanciful image?

Thai Law....'Rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty'.

Stand by for the next reincarnation 'Lets go Forward'. I'd wager they'll win a clear majority following PT's duplicity after the last election.

Dream on, she'll be hurling the loss of 38 million bht back at you for the rest of time.

So was the mystery illness complications during pregnancy?

The accident was reported by Thaiger yesterday. It appears as a cut'n'paste in Thaivisa today.

Sometimes it pays to get a loan. A while ago the car I wanted was available on 0% interest. I tried to get a loan so I could leave the lump sum in the bank earning interest. 'Sorry don't lend to farang' despite long-term visa and pension well over immigration requirements. Cash it was and the bank missed out on some business.

Bodies found weighed down with concrete in the Mekong suggest otherwise.

".....executives of Formula E will be scouting locations in Chiang Mai next week to ascertain the feasibility of holding the championship in Thailand" A long way to go before the actual GP is held then. Methinks the PM has jumped the gun somewhat.

".....held a press conference regarding the match of legends with a total investment of 860 million baht." I think I know why this event isn't going ahead.

Thanks very much for the link.

Just had the battery tested at 31,000 kms and it's still at 100%.

Last June I sold my Triton and bought a Neta V. 3500 kms per month primarily for the school run was costing approx 8000 bht per month in the Triton. Cost for the NETA V has been between 1500 and 1700 bht using PEA off peak tariff. It gets charged up every night using the slow granny charger supplied by Neta. Really enjoying the EV experience so far and just waiting for a decent lectric pickup to appear in Thailand.

Probably find somebodies record on the back of a passport copy at Immigration soon.

Hi thanks for your reply. Exporting back to the grid is not a priority considering how low the rate is and how strict PEA is on the equipment used.

Hi, thanks for the reply. How about the panels being the roof or is that a bad idea? I was thinking of just the posts with steel framework on which to attach the panels. Minor leaks between the panels don't worry me and they should be cooler with no roof tiles close below them.

As a follow up....asked a local sparky and he recommended this inverter. He doesn't have a financial interest as he suggested I buy myself. Anyone know if this is any good or not worth the money? Thanks for reading.

The look of a man who's just had his Govt paid lunch cancelled before the first mouthful.

"...at present he considers Thailand his home and did not think the incident would escalate to this extent." Shows he knows <deleted> all about Thailand.

Years ago in wifeys home town a new drinking fountain was installed in the main square after PWA declared the water fit for drinking. The local mayor took a few sips at the opening celebration and people queued up to fill their drinks bottles. After a few days the tap started leaking and the local soi dogs found a new place to ease their thirst. The tap has been long closed. Our house is also connected to the same water supply and judging by the muck clogging up the filters on our water pipes I think I'll stick with buying bottled water.

There should be no need for negotiation of compensation with the operator if proper insurance was in place.
