Seems the height of stupidity to venture into a cave prone to flooding when there is heavy continuous rain in the area.

Car Extended Warranty (Mitsubishi Warranty Plus)
edwinchester replied to sgenea's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
How much is the extended warranty? I had a Triton for just under 17 years and the only serious problem I had in all that time was the AC matrix failing twice. 5000 bht to fix each time. -
Ex-Footballer Ian Heddle Jailed for Child Abuse in Thailand
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Four years for the sexual abuse of a young child and the possession of child pornography is shamefully short. I hate to think he may be out in two years for good behaviour. Hopefully he fellow prisoners will make his stay particularly memorable for him.- 73 replies

Our plan is to go off-grid fairly soon as we save so much anyway. Installation of a smart meter will just hasten the switch. As a further comment when we talked at PEA about installing solar panels, we were interested in the feedback bonus, the guy we chatted to told wifey the meter may run backwards! He actually said if you don't go overboard cutting the bill too quickly and by way too much it's unlikely a smart meter will be installed anytime soon.

We have a simple 5kw grid-tie system. 90k bht installed. We have ten 610w panels but disconnected two as it's kicking out too much power on sunny days. Those 2 panels will go toward making another 5kw array when we install a battery sometime next year. We live in Kanchanaburi. Installation was carried out by a small team recommended by a friend. Zero regrets so far and very happy with their work.

edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Cars were recovered in Thailand more than seven years ago. From the article cars haven't yet been returned just the promise of return 'per legal requirements'. My how slowly the wheels of justice turn here.- 53 replies

Motorcycle taxi drivers brutally beating tourist caught on video
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
"Excuse me sir, we agreed a price of 150 baht for my conveyance back to my abode. I'm sorry but I cannot agree to your demand for more than double that amount now my trip has completed. Could we please ask your two colleagues if your insistence on more is justified and what might be their suggestion for a satisfactory resolution of our impasse." -

Shocking surge: Thai electricity tariffs set to spark debate
edwinchester replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
No idea. All I know is that my average house bill have gone down from about 2500 to less than a thousand and the TOU bill also about a thousand less as I'm charging our EV using solar too. Maybe it's because we're still connected to the grid too and alot of the time the meter's spinning backwards like crazy. -
