  1. There is also the huge benefit available, that if you can sell to the PEA (something that is definitely not a foregone conclusion) you will get about ⅓ to ¼ of the price you pay for power from them. If you can sell to the local community you can double the price the PEA would pay you and still be selling at a lower than PEA price to your local community.
  2. Just a FWIW, you would need a good exterior plywood for it to have any chance of it surviving soak it in Chandrite at least 2 or 3 times find a good exterior paint then it will probably last a year or 2. However you could use short concrete planks, neither the concrete nor the wood will do a very good job of sealing the hole
  3. That and the material saved on glue vs mortar and the minimal depth of render as the walls are smooth. Also that doesn’t factor in the significantly better thermal insulation and the vastly better sound reduction. Just look at most building sites and you will see many purely Thai construction sites using AAC jou can be sure they are not wasting money!
  4. There are several reasons for using AAC blocks vs red bricks, grey concrete blocks etc. They are several major reasons for AAC blocks, in no specific order. they are extremely regular in size they require very little glue (3mm) they are excellent insulation both sound and temperature you can put in fixtures anywhere on the wall. (You can’t with red bricks or concrete blocks) they take approximately I/3 or ¼ of the time to build There are more but these are enough for now
  5. No it wasn’t. It was purportedly for a similar room as at the Khon Kaen Srinagarind teaching hospital. A Laparoscopic umbilical hernia surgery would not require the ICU unless something went drastically wrong.
  6. For an umbilical hernia India was roughly the same cost as a local Bangkok hospital without travel. However the main northeastern teaching hospital’s private wing was half the cost with the operation performed by the top consultant surgeon. The main difference was in nightly room costs with the the amounts being 26,000 per night vs 3,500
  7. @impulse it’s rather difficult to know much with little data, for example what was your desired humidity level, what was the starting level, what was the cubic capacity of the room, how well sealed is it, etc, etc. in my case I have a 47l/day unit the room capacity is around 18,000 ft3 the temperature will be around 27C~30C, the required humidity under 70% and the outside humidity at about 35C is over 80% My unit can drop the humidity enough, running for about 10 hours overnight so it isn’t usually needed during the day. So dry enough for my needs. If you want sub 50% and sub 25C then you would need double or considerably more. if you are buying an inverter, many are today, then well over capacity doesn’t hurt and it will probably be quieter.
  8. While there are domestic and industrial dehumidifiers, that one is clearly a domestic version and as such I have no idea of it’s expected lifetime The price and design clearly put it into the domestic category. Mine is clearly in the industrial sector and built like a tank it will just keep on running as it has for the last several years I have been unable to find a power consumption figure for your unit. However due to physics and the fact that the technology is well mature the only way it can use less power is if it is extracting less water. As an inverter unit it doesn’t have to run at maximum extraction. Mine does and is sized so that it needs to run at full power so inverter technology is irrelevant in my case as it is extracting from a 520 cubic metre space LG is a reputable supplier but it’s built to a price Do run it 24/7 and see how it responds, I will be interested in the results. FWIW I did find mine
  9. though I bought it a number of years ago and it was not the easiest to find even then
  10. Mine is classed as industrial or commercial, it wasn’t cheap in any form however it just runs and has done so for the last few years and I expect it to continue to do so. Price is your best guide.
  11. You are better advised to look for the litres per day specification, though it will never actually achieve it, mine is rated at 45 litres per day and 700w
  12. They are used comprehensively in the automotive trade, they, of course, can be used anywhere they are Deutsch DT series and claim to be waterproof if You search AliExpress using the image I posted you will find many suppliers the are available in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 versions and at least 2 different pin sizes.
  13. I thought, incorrectly it seems, that you wanted online shopping
  14. All of that from HomePro/MegaHome
  15. You are more likely to get quality connectors on AliExpress, however only buy on price if you are going for high price first. The qualities available are varied with cheap nasty stuff available as well as quality items a prices to match. If you are looking for quality connectors then there are excellent waterproof automotive connectors with crimping tools that will probably survive a hurricane, I have a selection of 2, 3, 4, & 6 way ones that will get used sometime
  16. The two entries were for visa exempt, nothing to do with tourist visa entries. You could always do back to back tourist visa entries they were never limited. However certain borders have a different protocol for visa exempt, an example is Nong Kai where you must spend one or two days in Laos before you can return. I don’t know the rules for other borders and most restrictions can be avoided by use of the brown envelope with pretty pieces of paper in it.
  17. It stops it from moving down and defects the bounce
  18. It was absolutely NOT taken out of context. The absolute quote was If it was not your intention to say that an expat living in Thailand could not do a renewal while visiting the U.K. then you are really bad a writing your meaning. Because that was EXACTLY what you wrote, and the omitted sentence was not relevant and only emphasised your wrong statement. The number of visits to the U.K. is a snare and delusion and totally irrelevant and an attempt at obfuscation. Personally since 1990 I have visited the U.K. about 5 or 6 times so definitely not many.
  19. Well! I live in Thailand. have done so for years. HMRC have my Thai address. I visited the U.K. last year. I replaced my soon to expire passport at HMPO western gateway in docklands. My documents were received on 29/4, paid £207.50 for the large version, I attended the passport office by appointment on Saturday 4 May at 3:00pm. Apart from the usual inclement weather will waiting outside to enter the actual office (about 30 minutes) the total time taken was less than an hour and a half the appointment was about 4 minutes. The only difference was that I was told The extra time was due to the bank holidays and weekend compressing the applicants time. So your contention that an expat living in Thailand cannot do a renewal wile in the U.K. is dead wrong, and I have the evidence, and passport, to prove it. I could have opted for a faster or slower turnaround at more or less cost.
  20. Just because you don’t have room in the box in which you have the current power socket doesn’t mean you don’t have room. Just add another box to enclose the termination of the current large tails and the new smaller 2.5mm tails. There is no reason to try to attach the terminals of the incoming 6 & 8mm cables directly to the socket and every reason to keep them separate.
  21. Rather than try to fit a 6mm or 8mm tail into the standard power socket terminal you would be far better advised to get a terminal block that is designed for the 6mm cable and run 2,5mm tails from that theses are available in every electrical supplier and all the big DIY stores in many sizes and multiple numbers of connections.
  22. As I said in quiet mode it is silent. It is similar in noise level to the MrKen fans on level 2 both of them are silent, and I do mean silent not just quiet. However as with everything there is a trade off, in that in silent mode it will maintain the room temperature but you will wait a long time for it to reduce the temperature. Both the carrier app and the Daikin app are reliable but they do not have all the functions of the remote. I can’t comment as I have had no need. But it is your installer who should provide immediate service, so how good are they?
  23. We started as a Mitsubishi only house. However on the advice of our AC company we then got a Daikin for our bedroom, on its quietest setting it is totally silent I then got a Carrier non inverter for my workshop, the reasoning being that it is specifically too small for the room size so it will be running flat out or off, it is far from silent but in the workshop it doesn’t matter, Both the Daikin and Carrier have WiFi and it is really convenient.
  24. It is certainly possible to see the suggested costs. However it is impossible to know the quality of the work. You can only have an idea if you can see other installations done by the company and know the qualifications of the individuals doing the work. The pricing has too little information to give a correct reply. Missing items include; the area where the job will be done, the distance from the installer to the property, the projected time for the work, the number of times the installers will attend. That said the prices do seem to me to be on the high side but Crossy may have a different opinion. Also depending on where the project is I may be able to give you the contact details of a trained professional electrician who can give you a second quote.
  25. While it is just possible that someone has developed a laser welder that is also a TIG welder, DMK has not according to their website. The technologies are totally different. As to handheld units the majority of smaller units are handheld. As to portable, few if any are portable, they are transportable. The costs are in the hundreds of thousands Baht and all are strictly workshop use only.
