Yes. Certainly changed a lot since the last I was there too. Go ahead Nidge.

I think Abu Dhabi is east of Doha.

thanks for that, regarding bkk, i know where im going when i get to don muang airport. do the instructions above take me passed that?

Just ignore the signs to the Eastern Ring Road and you should go through Rangsit and then Don Muang.

A little further west - here's another view of the same city:

Dubai?

You've gone too far east.

Hmm, an empty shopping centre. Looks middle eastern.

In Egypt?

Middle eastern but further east.

How about this one:

Go to Lampang. Turn right at the Big Kilometer Post and head towards Thoen/Tak. As you are almost through the main city of Tak, turn right to cross the Ping river and then head to Bangkok. There is a bypass to the west of Pitsanuloke so look for the sign after you pass the Chao Phraya University (on your left). When you are close to Bangkok, it depends where you are going as there several different ways to enter the city.

dam_n, left the lights on when I parked my car at the Ram Hospital this morning. Does anyone know where I can get a jump start? Any services in town???

I would probably walk over to Central, buy a set of jumper cables, catch a songtao back and get a jump start from him.

One of the big ones in Chiangmai is "Chiangmai Siang Kong". It is on the Super Highway the same side as Lanna Hospital but a bit further south. I've bought quite a few diesel engines and a crane off them over the years. They generally have small Tadano (or similar) truck cranes stacked outside and then a couple of acres of engines undercover inside plus the usual half cars.

They supply sub dealers in various other towns in the north.

I worked on exploration jobs around the Gulf of Papua in the late 60s and it was not too bad then as Australia still ran the place. Port Moresby was a pleasant place to live and work.

Since Independence (or whatever they call it) it has spiralled downhill and Port Moresby is considered a dangerous and violent place to work. I last worked in PNG on Lihir Island which was OK as it is more or less company controlled. Madang seemed a decent place to be and Rabaul was not too bad but had been devastated by a volcano. I still know people working there and jobsites are generally safe and secure.

If I remember correctly, the Elephant Building was designed by Bangkok's most famous architect, Dr. Sumet Jumsai. Other notable buildings of his are the Robot Building on Sathorn Tai and the Nation Newspaper "Computer" building on Bangna-Trat highway.

Sounds like P&P are good. I, and all my friends, use Travel Shoppe. After over 15 years of excellent service getting tickets for personal and company travel, I won't change yet. It is good to know however that there is a suitable alternative if anything happens to the company we are using now.

This link is handy for local times for sports broadcasts. Bledisloe II is at 14:30 today.

This is the official site. Do I get a free beer?

I have never heard of that. Is it a Bangkok-only phenomenon? Some explanation would be helpful. Thanks.

It might make sense if the spelling is corrected. I think the first lor-ling should be replaced with a wor-wan (sorry, I don't have a Thai keyboard).

I think he is talking about a "nooner" or "matinee" or whatever the current expression is.

Now, if we could only harness the energy of local loudmouths at golf clubs and restaurants!!

This is an urban myth. It is the other end you have to harness.

The Montessori school in Krabi has the same ownership as the one in Lampang.

The 1958 novel "The Ugly American" by Burdick and Lederer was about the construction of a highway ("Freedom Road") in the fictional south-east Asian country of Sarkhan. Many drew a parallel between the book and the construction of the Friendship Highway in Thailand. The 1963 movie of the same name starring Marlon Brando was filmed in Thailand and the part of the Prime Minister of Sarkhan was played by M.R. Kukrit Pramoj. In 1975, he became the 13th Prime Minister of Thailand.

Life imitating art?

Yeah right...that might be your personal experience, but it is not mine over the last 14 years driving cars in Thailand.

Yes, unfortunately Cuban is extremely ill-informed. I have driven over a million kilometers in Thailand and have been using radar detectors for around 20 years now. The first one was a Dick Smith model purchased in Australia and after that wore out, a Radio Shack from the States. This supposedly detects radar and laser but in the last year, it has not detected some new instrument being used that looks like it is mounted on a tripod. My detector has not always been able to save me as it depends on the direction of the radar gun on how much advance warning I get. If I don't have sufficient time to slow down, it at least identifies the location for the next time as they generally use the same spot (depends on shade) over and over again.

I have never been able to find the detectors available in Thailand and I think you may need someone to hand carry one in for you. They do not seem to be illegal as I have had innumerable Highway Policemen ask me where they can get one as it looks "cool".

It looks like some place in the Canary Islands but that would not make any sense from the previous clues.

Central department store is the first .........and Chidlom is its first branch.

err, that would be central wangburapha......

If it's true, then I didn't know that and .....never heard of it and never been there, while growing up - except Chidlom branch which used to be called Seelom branch.

Central Wang Burapha opened in 1957, Central Silom in 1968 and Central Chidlom in 1973.

Cheers alot everyone, sorry for delay but been of to good ol' KL...

Boksida, and others....

here's some more facts....

It's a long story.... drilled to 130m last September.... we had the temporary electric for construction installed. This wouldn't provide enough power to a pump at 130m says waterman and so we'll stick it at 50m till you get proper electric put in.... then we'll bring in a nice new shiny badboy pump from Italy and drop that down all the way.

Probably a Lowara or Calpeda brand - both acceptable quality

Seemed feasible so went with it....

A little while back, we got mains electric and they came and went while I wasn't here (about a month ago or so...) under the "watchful eye" of my site "foreman"..... who saw absolutely nothing

It worked for a while - slowly..... hardly filling the tanks at a rate that taps fill a bath at........(!)

then it rained hard.... they hadn't closed off the lid and we got a red shower in the morning! We started ordering our water to be delivered....

Last week "repair man" comes and I establish that he pulls a 1.5HP pump up from only 60m!! (Did I say "Khee Gong" in my first post?)

It's broke.... the impeller..... which (thanks to MaizeFarmer's fantastic post) leads me to believe that stones got in it because I'm totally clueless as to what was being used on the initial drilling day last year... there was definitely alot of muddy water going in and around the drill on it's way down..... so that's slurry?

Drilling with mud should not be a problem if the well was cleaned out properly afterwards. This is called well development and the locally used term is "pattana bore". Either your well has not been developed or the ingress area has not been screened. Both of these are also possible. Can any one on site tell you if an air compressor was used after the casing was installed to clean water out of the well? This would have been noisy, and possibly spectacular, so it should have been noticed. Air is used to remove solids etc. so a pump will not be damaged.

That brings us upto today but before that, you asked for some facts, Boksida......

"how much do I need" -

got two bed, two bath house, 4x3m pool (topping up, maybe, a coupla cm every 2/3 days.... 250l or so?) little bit of daily spraying a 20m x 35m garden etc..... we've already got 1600l tank, which, as far as I am concerned, will more than suffice SO LONG AS the sub pump can top it up fast enough at peak times! in all you TVers' experiences, should I be hoping for 1,500-2000l per hour?

hoping to build another two houses (maybe bigger) onto the same system in the future, which could drive demand at peak times up to around 6000'ish litres per hour.... (maybe?)

Is getting three phase power later on a possibility?

boring company supplied no facts..... no testing results were supplied to me on the initial bore - no static or pumping water levels supplied...

A reputable contractor should be able to supply you with a simple "as built" diagram.

On one of their future visits can you ask then to measure water levels. This is done with a reel of electrical cable which works pretty much like an ohm meter. Once the sounder hits the water, a circuit is made giving a visible signal at the surface. Every drilling contractor/pump installer should have one.

borehole is cased with 6" PVC pipes glued together to total depth, they "say"......

I believe that I am staring at a 6" PVC pipe at the top of the bore and so seemingly a screen has been "misplaced"

"surface equipment or lift" ? Not sure what these could be but we're pumping direct from subpump into the main tanks

sub pump is 4" Franklin (so SHOULD be trustworthy, right?)

Franklin is probably the brand of the motor and not the pump but in any case should not be a problem.

So then - they were back today with a new impeller and pump unit, both 1.5HP (is this a pathetically small amount of power to be moving such a heavy column of water from such depth?) dropped the new pump down to a newer lower level of 100m....

I agree, 1.5HP is too small but I have attached a performance curve of a similar pump which shows pumping is at least feasible.

It pumped at what seemed like a beautifully ferocious rate flooding the corner of my garden with rich red water (they claim they've spilt mud in....... I'm skeptical......).....

I suspect that no screen has been installed in the bottom of the well and/or it has not been developed.

Then they stuck the giant (brass?) valve ontop of the borehole lid to stop water leaking back from the tanks... (shouldn't that be on the tanks?) and dropped the pump all the way down to 120m..... upon turning on the pump again we got only about half the flow rate (visually) than previously!

You will lose flow rate with the increased pressure but the bottom of your well may also be full of sludge that has never been cleaned out.

so the water continued flow slowly and to clear a little bit over the next hour but is still cloudy..... they say it's too heavy to lift the system now it's so long and so they're coming back tomorrow..... with heavy lifting gear!

Get them sound the bottom of the well in your presence. Feel if the sounding weight is sinking slower near the bottom of the well.

This company do all the big local hotels and seemingly have a fairly good rep for supplying to meet expectations - but I still can't help but smell something highly fishy going on...

Hopefully these facts will help someone to supply me with some more positive points?

I guess this looooooong post could be summed up very easily.....

What should a 1.5HP pump at 120m depth supply as a flow rate in an area where the vast majority suffice with a mere 40/50m? And, yes, I am about 40m above sea level on gently sloping hillside...

See attachment.

Cheers alot forumers.... your eyes are probably bleeding now...... my hands are certainly hurting......

All the best

Chris

Hope this helps. I think at the very least the contractor should re-develop the well with an airlift. There are a couple of tricks involved in this well so let me know if you need further advice.

Good luck.

Have a look here. They may be marketed in Thailand as "Meyer" and I think I have seen that brand in Rimping.
