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.

Thailand to host prestigious Formula E electric-car championship
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
".....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. -

Thai EV sales surge by 603% amid government incentives
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

Charging an EV with solar cells
edwinchester replied to edwinchester's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
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. -
Charging an EV with solar cells
edwinchester replied to edwinchester's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
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. -
Swiss Man,Thai Wife Apologise For Assaulting Female Doctor

"...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. -
Young couple dies in Chon Buri motorcycle crash after eerie omen

Did you have a dash cam? Essential here in Thailand. I had a Thai driver suddenly stop and then reverse into the front of my car. Police took one look at the dashcam footage and told him to pay up which he did next day. A friend of mine had a similar I incident as yours. Guy who rear-ended him says he stopped too quick as did the Police. My friends insurance were having none of it and insisted the other driver pay up as he was obviously driving too close to stop safely.

Sounds about right. Wifey has a friend who owns some land and her friend allowed a cousin to build a small shack about 10 years ago. Well wifeys friend has hit financial problems and wants to sell the land. Cousin doesn't want to move. Wifeys friend took the cousin to court and the judge ruled the land belonged to wifeys friend but that the cousin can continue living there for another 5 years or until she moves out.

I would like the charger in the carport. My thinking was to have the inverter in the carport, under the panels, so I can use the portable granny charger. -
