No it is not about ONLY a us extension cable. You are totally confused and using confusing language. The initial question was “could a US extension be safely use” answer = yes. Subsequently a complaint was made that 3 pin extensions were not available in Thailand. This is wrong, the are available as I pointed out & can easily be home made if you have a moderate DIY ability. what you term a “powerstrip” (my photo) is an extension cable with a number of sockets on the end. The 2 home made extension cables illustrate that you can use whatever plugs and sockets you like. That 1 uses a twin core cable and that the other uses a 3 core cable was given in my post. As I said I have other extension cables that I have built that have other cables. The fact that the 2 home built cables (in the photos) have 1) a 2 pin plug and socket fitted, & 2) a 3 pin Schuko plug and socket are functions of the ease of locating those examples. They are irrelevant to the plugs and sockets that can be fitted. This should be explained in enough detail for you to understand. If you are continuing to have difficulty in understanding then asking for explanations will get information, sniping off snarky comments is less than helpful.

You are incorrect. The prebuilt extension is a 3 core one with 8 x 3 pin sockets (1.5mm cable). One of the custom extensions is a 2 core one (1.5mm cable). The other extension is built for the European Schuko system and is 3 core (1.5mm cable). I haven’t bothered to show the other extension cables, most are 2.5mm. so I cannot see how there is not enough choice. @Danderman123 Please explain what more you would like?

I will buy a hand mega phone and tell people inside my house to shout lill lill get here now and carry me in. ???????? Whilst I would buy an electrically powered form of transport to maintain my freedom of movement and avoid having to trouble people if I don’t have to.????????????

Your opinion does not match reality. If you want high quality extension cables there are a few choices, either buy a quality one with quality components (not inexpensive) or build one yourself again not in expensive but cheaper. I have done both. here is a quality 8 outlet prebuilt one a 2 pin extension And a 3 pin extension

Your suggested hight is not OAP friendly. Before I designed our stair heights I researched the ones that were installed in many of the universities buildings I worked in, they are OAP friendly designs and the tread depth is 10cm. The older citizens of the village have all been very complimentary on the ease of use of these. I have also installed a no step access ramp, so if I ever become infirm enough to be unable to use the stairs I will still have access to our house.

Qatar is flying the A380 on many of the BKK DOH flights & its business class is unbeatable

While polished floor tiles are a very bad idea due to the slipping danger if you really want the tiles to be polished you should contact any granite supplier, they will have diamond pads for their angle grinders and the ability to use them. When we got our kitchen counters they were supplied as uncut slabs and the cutouts and edges were done and polished on site.

Incorrect information, I have had a few items refunded from Lazada, a couple despite the seller not wanting to refund. So you are wrong to generalise.

Better still go to Google earth, then you can scroll through all the images available of your area and the differences will jump out. It would not be a stretch for a PEA employee to be tasked with the job of looking for solar installs, then one of the local police fly boys to be told to take pictures during one of his training flights. The BIB flyers already do that with out being asked, one of the locals has gifted us with several helicopter images of our house. The fact that at the moment there is no real incentive means that nobody is doing it now. But everything that is needed is in place so it would not be difficult to start.

That is excellent news as while it certainly could be a surge protector there is no way you are going to be losing more than a tiny amount (micro amps) from earth leakage with out an extraordinarily bad install and not even that much if you have an RCCB. So as already opined it can’t work, the fact that there are multiple connections and components are irrelevant. also if 30% of your power usage is going to earth, or even 1%, you would know all about it.

There are a verity of drones, the inexpensive ones have small rotors with high RPM unshielded motors. There are variations that have much larger props that spin much more slowly, different characteristics, with shielded motors so lower pitched. They don’t have the same sound signature. There is one that is 3 years old you can listen to, the Altair Aerial Outlaw SE, that you certainly wouldn’t hear with any kind of foliage around it at much more than 10 metres, you would probably need to be closer than that, it is a 60db one. That is just one and not very new only about $300. So there are versions that you won’t hear at prices that are affordable. However the ROI is small enough that they are unlikely to come looking for you

You rather over estimate the noise level of drones, not to mention that to be effective they would either be low level flights so masked by vegetation or high level to detect installations so the sound would be masked by the hight, you would also need to be listening for them continuously while an operator needs a short time to detect your usage. Having said that the likelihood of them being used is remote.

The PEA has the information for you to correct your spreadsheet. I’m sure you can find it from this..

That is easy, the hotel address. When you return home you don’t do a TM30 you just do a 90 day report 90 days after your return, which has your home address on it.

While the residential section is party correct there are a couple of rather glaring errors. You define the supply as up to 15 amps and over 15 amps. The PEA makes no such difference, the meters are rated by the guaranteed accuracy of the supply that is measured in amps. Also the general limit for an accurately metered domestic supply is 300 amps from a 30/100 amp supply at 3 phase (where it is available) the second supposed supply is not domestic but Small General Service , that is the one with the ฿46.16 standing charge So while your spreadsheet may have calculated the charges correctly you certainly did not get the labels for fields acutely named. the pink fields are inaccurately labelled, the math may be accurate, I didn’t check it.

You have a rather more in-depth assumed knowledge of the infrastructure than anyone outside the confines of the immigration department. Specially as the TM6 is now just a part time form.

You are badly confused. the TM6 has never had any effect or influence on the 90 day report, unless you are required to do a 90 day report after filling one in. the TM30 has not been required for a few years now (apart from a few rogue offices) when you return to your normal residence, if you have traveled outside Thailand or not. your confirmed residence is the one you fill in in the 90 day report. the only connection between that and the TM47 apart from the number you used to fill in, is that sometimes the TM47 is required 90 days after the TM6

FWIW you will almost certainly be able to do the report on line. I have just done the online report after my return to Thailand about 83 days ago NO new TM6 number offered, though I do have one. Total time taken was about 6 hours.

Yes.

I am a man. My shower takes 3 minutes because I understand how to wash. Other people were badly taught by there parents.

For my 52 x 9w units I used 1mm sq single core with white neutral and yellow, red, and blue line cables as there are 3 and 2 circuits and the colour coding made wiring them up easy

Add blockers work in various ways, not every one works in the same way. Different people have different needs so there is no 1 blocker for everyone.

The Australian pension has some interesting variations, including having to spend some years in Australia to qualify to get it outside Australia. as far as the justification for different rules for different countries that depends if there has been a treaty on the subject and the perceived benefits of one.

A few misconceptions. I did not relocate to the U.K., I visited for 3ish weeks There was no paper work involved. I don’t remember exactly if they asked for an address, if so I gave my brother’s C/O address. It certainly did not take months, it was either done while talking to them or shortly after. The increased pension is calculated on a daily basis, the increase is paid on the usual payment date. Cheating HMRC is an extremely bad idea. There are numerous ways for HMRC to discover that you don’t live in the U.K. including, but not limited to, the electoral roll, utility bills, bank accounts etc If you want the higher pension go to live in the Philippines the level of English is far better and other services are as easily available.

Of course, never lie to HMRC, bad things will happen. I told them of my visit dates during my one conversation
