I have a Dreambox 600PVR and a Dynasat F1 box. I use the latter mainly as the move system for the dish and to watch Dream TV from the Philippines (without a subscription card). I use the Dreambox to view the Multichoice network. As your Dreambox has been programmed by Jsat, there is probably no problem there. Are you just looking for a schematic on the connections between the Dynasat box and the Dreambox or something else? I live about 100km from Chiangmai but visit frequently. Let me know if there is any way I can assist remotely or a suitable time we can get together in CM. Alternatively you are welcome to drop my place and look at the setup.

I was looking at getting a jack Russell when my present dog stops breathing. What sort of money are you paying for a pup in Thailand. In the UK it would be about 15.000 baht up.

We got ours from a pet shop for 6,000 baht. I don't know if we were ripped off or not, but she is a great little dog.

When I first came to Thailand Brylcreem (pronounced bi-cleem) was the standard accoutrement at massage parlours when it came around to the happy ending part. I'm out of touch with that scene now but you might ask there.

Later on they found out that it could be used on hair too.

- via 1/2 PVC pipe. The 13 mm wall stull. The heaviest type they sell.

I can't figure this part out - can anybody explain?

New survey finds average Thais taller, fatter, more tubular

The research found that Thai men have grown more than seven centimetre taller and about 12 kilometre fatter,

I don't feel so bad now.

To answer both questions:

The bacon is produced from the loin.

Yes we have made smoked ham, tasted great. Will be constructing the new smoker soon.

And to whet the appetite further for those of your planning a BBQ, and because I just like making stuff, how about this:

Now, how do you call?

Cop Coffin?

Shera is a trade name for the fibre cement siding.

Have you looked at this site for the complete deal imported from Japan?

The bad air was the main reason I didn't move to Chiang Mai

It seems even clouds of pollution have a silver lining.

Since you have already pointed out that using a radar detector is illegal here in LOS, you should be discussing the issue on this board as it breaches forum rules, but that doesnt seem to bother you as you would appear to have no regards for the law

Have some of the posts been deleted? I can't find anything where somebody has pointed out that radar detectors are illegal in Thailand. I have often shown mine to police when they have made a bogus claim of using radar detection. It always becomes a big joke and I get congratulated on getting a good one on them. The legal advice I have been given is that they are neither banned nor allowed, the present statutes simply do not cover them.

You can get information on another legal option here.

You will probably have to check with them to see if it works in your area.

I have been using a radar detector for 15+ years now and it has saved me a little bit of money and a lot of inconvenience. I haven't upgraded for years and have noticed lately that it does not detect the new tripod mounted radar guns that are being deployed even though my detector is supposed to find two different types of radar and laser.

Most of the banks have foreign currency term deposit facilities but I think participation may be limited to Thai nationals and foreigners with Permanent Residence if exchanging THB to AUD (or other currencies) and back again. This is certainly the case with Standard Chartered anyway.

I live in the boonies too and the local guy tested my eyes and sent the prescription to Bangkok. I got the glass progressive lens back in about 4 days.

There is also some information on agents here.

Progressing cavity pumps are expensive but the advantages are that they will pump at any rotational speed as they are postive displacement and also pump higher heads.

yeah its definately a different pastime than cruising the islands, but for someone based in bangkok for job reasons, seemed an interesting way to spend a sunday...

nice pic, boksida... tho i'm sure theres a question where one would dock such a boat that was safe....

We hired a full time boatman who was one of the "river people" and he kept it tied up outside his family's house (in the picture). They had a telephone and we could call him and tell him where to meet us - more often than not at the Oriental wharf. It was also berthed at the American operated Colorado Eastern boat builders for quite a time. We originally bought the boat from the Irish Consul for 60,000 baht.

1. Turn off power to pump

2. Close valves to and from pump/tank

3. Remove drain plug from tank and drain until empty

4. Reverse procedure

Bangkok is definitely sinking but a metre in 10 years sounds very high. Whereabouts in Bangkok are you and are you near any industrial complexes that are using a lot of well water?

Putting a load of topsoil down to the "hard stuff" may be probhibitively expensive as the first sand is around 20 metres, which is normally where piles are driven to. The bottom of the Bangkok clay is around 80 metres. As there no laterite within a 100km of Bangkok, this will also be expensive and keep going down anyway.

I have a picture of Blinky Bill taken over 30 years ago - would that count?

This is where it was last time I visited there. Hope they haven't moved again.

Last night--or early this morning--the 10x3' sign at a certain burrito shop was stolen. Any sleuths reading this who could venture to guess why? We don't have any enemies that we know of. It wasn't just drunken vandalism, someone wanted--or didn't want us to have--that sign.

We're new in town. Is this normal?

Ouch.

Economic downturn, a sign of the times.

I had a locally built boat and kept it in the Chao Phya for a few years and I don't recall a lot of trouble getting licences etc. It was quite a while ago though and things might have changed. Had a lot of fun with it.

There have been a few threads on this before. This is one of them. I've done the trip many times in both directions and along different routes. Going through Khon Kaen and Phitsanulok is one of the slowest ways but a decent road.

Longball. Those numbers aren't pressure ratings. I am guessing it is wall thickness or something similar.

You are guessing wrong. The numbers are working pressure in kg/cm² as mentioned previously in this thread. See Note 2 at the bottom of the attached spec.

You sandpaper the joints because? If a primer was available you would not need to sand them.

Can anyone explain the pipe ratings?

8.5 is what in PSI

13 is what in PSI

Multiply by 14.22 and you won't be far off.

We have some 1-1/4" HDPE tubing that, when we use it, is frequently moved and re-routed. We have used it in many different provinces and have never buried it. Some of it must be over 20 years old now and will be used again. We generally use G.I. fittings when making connections and the biggest losses have been through bushfires and trucks running over it.

I don't think you have to worry.
