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.

I confessed to her what I had done and the problem was solved.

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?

Ok, as I am reading this at 09.38 am today, and the news was published about 10 minutes ago. Hmm... the only conclusion is that someone has about 22 minutes to live, before getting crushed by cement. 

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

And therefore they don't need a loan.

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.

".....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.

isnt  keeping them fully charged and "every night"  going to degrade your  battery faster?

Current  electric pick ups have VERY  low range when loaded up, checkout Ford F150 lightning range when towing etc

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

It is an ok inverter for the money, it is a cheap inverter from a known company.

The price diff between the 4.2KW/24V and the 6.2KW/48V is so small that you should buy the 6.2KW version.

 

Edit: The inverter can not export power to the grid.

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.

Unfamiliar with the brand, but if going that route, then I'd go with 48v, in case wanting to add a battery pack to the system later.   6.2kWh should suffice, for granny charger, plus running something else off it, when producing extra, if wanting.  

 

Carport will need to support, panels & bits, (about 400kg) in addition to roofing.  Twelve 540w panels would power it, needing about 40m² of roof, as most panels are about 2.6m² each (X 12 = 36m²) 

 

We used 540w;

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.

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

The numbers are frightening. Thirty baht a pill seems cheap to me.  180 million is a large number too.

Yes, 30 bht no wonder there's such a problem in Thailand. Police friend of ours said pills can be got for as little as 10 bht which indicates no supply problem at all.

The issue is probably similar to my experience where a Thai bloke smashes into the rear of my car   and says " you stopped too quick" ( in an emergency braking situation), the problem escalates when I  called the police, and they agreed with him

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.

I don't have a source to confirm this, but I was told many years ago that if someone built a house on unused land and stayed there for 10 years with no eviction effort from the landlord, they would gain the rights to stay there (not full ownership, but living rights).

 

This usually happened with State Railroad land and it was very difficult to move then squatters when they wanted to use that land later.

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.

Would you put the EVSE (car charger) near the panels or near the house?

 

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.

Nah that will work just fine with correctly sized cable.

Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate your input on electrical topics.
