  1. The top-up setup is either illegal or prohibited by every water authority in every county. There are many reasons why, not the least is that water supplies to properties are all positive pressure and sucking from them will drop the pressure, even making it negative, this allows various forms of contamination including but not limited to air entrainment and other forms of unwanted material. just because others do it makes zero difference to the fact that nobody should.
  2. It is extremely likely that information that you gave to the IO will be logged into the system, however that said unless there was anything written into your passport (it is extremely rare that this is done) once stampeding in you can leave on any flight or boarder crossing on or before the permission to stay date, if you get an extension of permission to stay that of course means that the last day you can be in Thailand is also the date on that extension. Just because you had a flight date when you entered Thailand does not mean you must keep that flight date. In all probability there are hundreds, if not thousands, of visitors who change plans and depart on different dates.
  3. There is also an adhesive nylon/plastic fibre mesh, similar to adhesive tape that is probably designed for the same job which maybe even better than the wire mesh. I bought some by mistake when shopping for reenforced packing tape
  4. If you contract with a local villager you can get free range chickens, however the chicken breasts will be considerably smaller than the cage farmed chicken you will usually get.
  5. It is clear that the aluminium sleeve is crimped. Depending on exactly where the leak is and if the hose is still in good enough condition then 3M self amalgamation tape will be a possible answer and is certainly the fastest, cheapest way to attempt to fix the problem
  6. There is a significant semantic difference required to the above, as the meaning of the post would mean 4-6 conductors: Derate by 80%. = 20% of rating 7-9 conductors: Derate by 70%. = 30% of rating 10-20 conductors: Derate by 50% = 50% of rating this is an obvious mistake
  7. It affects the maximum power available on a circuit before it gets too warm. So decide on the maximum power you want to use and then make sure you have enough circuits for the load. Things like instant water heaters and AC’s should have dedicated circuits and for water heaters 4mm cable at least
  8. Really?🤔 Absolutely, in free air the heat induced by the current can dissipate easily. That is why the power rating is different for wires in conduit (about 20%) compared to wires clipped to walls etc.
  9. I’ve driven it once a number of years ago, I did the CM to Mae Hong Song (through Pie) in 1 day. Though only 245km it took about 8 hours, probably ⅓ of the road was under construction so just a laterite surface and the 1,800 curves and hairpin bends ment that at times 5 KPH was the fastest safe speed. I wouldn’t advise doing it that part in 1 day
  10. That was because the only manufacturer of the gas closed down the plant. It is possible that the new plant/s could not use the exact same formula or that when they started it was then possible to reformulate and redesign the torches to take advantage of the new mixture.
  11. Can’t you? I haven’t investigated as I don’t use one but this section of the email suggests you may be able to.
  12. The Microsoft email said ”Existing calling and Skype Number subscriptions will continue to automatically renew until 3 April 2025. After May 2025, those with active Skype Credits and subscriptions can continue to enjoy these paid features and use the Skype Dial Pad from the Skype web portal and within Teams Free. To transfer your Skype Number, contact your new network provider or learn more here.”
  13. Legally the contract should survive a change of ownership, however what will actually happen is often different to what the law technically allows. There are contracts that will survive a change of ownership more easily than a lease, but in Thailand some contracts are treated more like recommendations than established law.
  14. Even worse things can happen if the landlord gets money from the loan sharks and defaults on repayments. The loan shark enforcers are much worse than the banks.
  15. You can have as many clauses in your contract as you wish. The overwhelming problem is that if the contract is challenged the courts are likely to rule that the majority, if not all, of them are worthless and unenforceable so not worth the paper it’s printed on. You can get a lawyer to draw up any contract you want, with the right brown envelope/s you may get a land office to register the contract. But once challenged in a court that is not accepting brown envelope’s (most don’t) it will all be thrown out. It may well be years before the contracts are challenged but there is no time limit on the challenge.
  16. You may be able to have an adapter made for you by a local machine shop. Even small shops are likely to have a lathe that can cut threads. So you may be able to design an adapter that they can fabricate.
  17. The platform is rarely the problem. if you are advised stay with iOS or switch to android will be very dependent on usage and the apps you use or buy. For some the switch is virtually painless, for others extremely painful. If you have a modern variant and only use a few apps, banking, line, browsing, taking photos that you store in Google photos then the change will be easy. For myself the iOS Mac integration is so profound that, though I have an android phone in a drawer, I will not swap to the less comprehensive platform.
  18. None of the blue pipe has UV stabilisation so if you use the thinner pipe it will become brittle and easily damaged quickly the thicker pipe will also deteriorate so it would be better last longer and eventually be cheaper to use actual PVC gutter
  19. It should be a closed system but some do either get damaged so leak or can fatigue so leak. Depending on the refrigerant it maybe inflammable or li may not be inflammable. In general the more modern the unit the more likely that the refrigerant is a petroleum based one so it is quite inflammable.
  20. Don’t! You will kill a car battery in very short order, they are designed for being charged all the time and short bursts of high discharge. You need a deep cycle battery or a battery technology that is designed for your task, car batteries aren’t.
  21. You need to specify the number of tools that will be in use at one time and the power consumption of them, as the answer will be very different between a 350w drill and a 3000w table saw and 1500w chip extraction unit running simultaneously
  22. Any U.K. unlocked Apple phone will certainly work OK in Thailand, you can change the language to Thai without problems. Now there is likely to be no cost saving and a probability of problems with repairs if the are required. The iPhones are not 100% the same in both countries and The warranty is valid only in the country it was purchased Now iPhones probably won’t need a warranty repair, but if there is a problem you have to pay.
  23. No I did not just realise that. Nor did I say that. the USA has only screwed over smaller virtually unknown minorities in the past (like other big players) However trump has single handedly blown up the trust that has allowed relationships to progress and build and that trust once broken is going to take years to reestablish if it ever can.
  24. Even better than just a motion sensing light. Are the hard wired CCV cameras with motion triggered, tracking and 2 way audio cameras we use the Reolink system PoE cameras + NVR and a moderate UPS that will probably do almost 24 hours so even a power cut doesn’t effect them. one of the 4k cameras is the Trackmix. REOLINK 4K 8MP Dome PoE Security Camera 5X 3D Optical Zoom Pan and Tilt Auto Tracking Smart Detection 8MP Onvif Outdoor IP Camera THB 7,689 | https://a.aliexpress.com/_oFUE8El It is surprisingly disconcerting to have all your movements tracked and illuminated!
  25. While individual RCCBs are a requirement in the U.K. and good practice if you can afford them and you have no borrowed neutrals here, whole house are a PEA standard (we all know the compliance that has) your generator tripping yours on startup is a symptom of an incorrect wiring/switchover not a fault of the RCCB
