Clearly it doesn’t. Why you would believe that a speed test from a server in Japan is relevant to the speed you can get using a connection from Thailand boggles my mind. The only way that is related is if you are using services from Japan. From having tested a variety of programs using a number of geographical related servers, there is little difference between speed test results. If you use non related servers of course there can be very different results. SPEEDTEST is no worse than any other it is significantly better in that you can select the most appropriate location to test. Though you are left with few choices using test.my Singapore is more useful than Japan. I see virtually no difference in speed reporting using either service. (Singapore servers for both)

Your speed check is completely bogus unless you actually choose the same server to test. Clearly you are not comparing like with like. You have 2 servers that are 2,500 miles apart and suggest that it proves anything. If you actually want to test the programs then use the same server as close to the same time as feasible & you need to give the data needed like ping, jitter and packet loss. Having done exactly that there are moderate differences between programs nothing significant. Certainly nothing remotely close to your numbers.

A combination of circuits will have a higher amp rating protection than a single. However the individual circuits should still have their own individual MCBs/RCBOs. FWIW @Crossy seems to have some very interesting, and possibly masochistic or sadistic, definitions of fun

What you need is an actual electrician, you don’t have one. what you now need is an actual plan. It is quite likely that you can wire a whole house RCBO for little more than the cost of the RCBO It maybe less expensive to run new circuits for devices that you want protected by individual RCBOs. It is most likely that the electrician will not be able to tell you what is needed until he takes a look at the job. It is certainly possible that stripping out the old wiring and doing an actual new wire job could be cheaper that trying to solve the problem. When we were accepting our new house the cost for the builder to eliminate the borrowed neutral was around ฿20,000, if I would be liable for that cost I could well have decided to use a single RCBO and ignore the problem, as it was the builder who did not contract with an electrician I insisted that he fix the problem.

It doesn’t, the difficulty is that those who don’t know all the wonderful ways that faults can do nasty things to you, sometimes terminally bad ones, think that because some circuits can “not kill” you when badly installed sometimes it is an excuse to allow bad practice. Just because you haven’t managed to trip over faulty wiring doesn’t make it safe. There are reasons for wiring codes, many designed to prevent Darwin Awards. Thailand is supremely lucky that the vast majority of EV chargers have been installed with some reasonably competent instructions. This is likely to change and there will be some idiots who will claim that being electrocuted or frying the local youngsters was accidental rather than incompetent criminal cretins.

You do not have to show a KR2/KR22 when registering a return and that was not suggested. Re-reading the post is useful. FWIW you do not have to register a return if you are returning to your usual address

That would seem unlikely given that the 2 are reasonably close in size and that KK is more than double the GFA of Udon according to the numbers (85,000 sq. m. vs 186,000 sq. m.) or do you think that KK central is twice Udon’s? Though the number of No. of Tenants suggest that it is.

Anyone have any idea what the Retail GFA could be? Because that is doubly the size for KK

Out of date information, KK is bigger, not much but still bigger CENTRALPATTANA Khon Kaen Leaseable Area (Sq.m), 49,848 Retail GFA, 186,000 sq.m. Parking Space, 2,100 Vehicles No. of Tenants (shops), 347 CENTRALPATTANA Udon Thani Leaseable Area (Sq.m), 49,344 Retail GFA, 85,000 sq.m. Parking Space, 2,000 Vehicles No. of Tenants (shops), 189

The trip is 2 hours, the service has been getting better and has some newer trains The time tables are here but they are not definitive as there are some not listed Time Table - North Eastern Line.pdf Time Table - North Eastern Line 2.pdf

Living virtually ½ way between them I’ve often been to both. KK feels bigger than Udon. If you have an interest in a particular category of shop then one or the other city will be better. Many shops are similar, Central KK is bigger than Central Udon by quite a bit. For anyone living in one of the cities there is not very much reason to travel to the other. There are generally more expats in Udon than KK

Since you have decided to keep your location secret your comment is worthless. Different immigration offices have different requirements. There has been no general announcement of any change in policy regarding KR2/KR22. Your immigration office or immigration officer may not require a KR2/KR22 most/almost all others do.

The point for western jewellery is that it’s sold as an item, the actual weight of the gold is incidental. It is also the case that the value of used items is a fraction not only of the new price but it’s also a small percentage of the gold weight. The point for many Asian shops is that they are selling gold by weight and they also are decorative. the cost differential is tiny between a fraction of 1% to not much more than 10%. the western differential is likely to be anything between 30% to 90%

It looks as if you do not understand the way Thai gold is bought and sold. You get exactly the weight you pay for. For a bar of standard Thai gold, you pay for a bar that is 96.5% pure. If you do not want a standard Thai 96.5% pure bar but want 99.99% (999.9) you will pay a higher price per gram and will have very few choices of places to buy. If you want to buy and sell gold bars easily in Thailand you have only 1 choice, 96.5% purity There are a very few shops that sell 999.9 gold bars, virtually all are in Bangkok. There are thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of shops that will buy and sell 96.5% pure bars, every town has them, every city has quite a few. The current difference between the buying price and selling price is 0.3344481605% or 100฿ Per 15.244 grams. The chances of getting scammed by a gold shop in Thailand is vanishingly small. as you can see these are the buying prices for selling prices only 96.5% is quoted I have no idea of the markup for other purities.

There is no problem in buying gold in Thai standard bar form. 1 Baht weight are more difficult to find (15.244g) 5 Baht weight are easier as are 10 Baht bars. The actual purity is 96.5% If you want a non standard purity then it will be much more difficult to find and the weights are rather less standard

Immigration is very unlikely to require an onward ticket, they can but seldom do. However that is not your problem. The airline you fly, specially from the Indian subcontinent, is very likely to refuse boarding without either a visa or an onward ticket. In other words to fly visa exempt you almost certainly need and onward ticket.

1st it isn’t a visa. 2nd the extension of the same kind never dates from the application date, the extension is always from the date of expiry 3rd the under consideration period can be as long as 75 days depending on the office you use (application up to 45 days before the extension finishes, under consideration 30 days after the extension finishes) clearly Nakhon pathom is not one of those.

Yes their are. I know of one who will travel to your area. But nobody with the setup you saw will pay for him nor his team, nor to buy the fittings needed. The equipment he has is good but he is only able to fund it because he has a PEA job, and a few people are willing to pay for good work

Very likely to be getting free power as well due to minimal usage

The most convenient or most available is very dependent on location. As mentioned ignoring location Hardware House HQ store has, without any question, the most comprehensive stock. Do Home & Thaiwstsadu are excellent, as are HomePro and Global House There are a number of less widespread shops that include Mega Home (I’ve never seen one) Tool Pro Plus and Hardware House. If you are in a more out of the way location then the it’s very likely that there will be a more limited selection and the location of the nearest store will limit your choice.

The general experience with HomePro is good, but like any company not every fitting company is as good as every other one. The other point is that they do not do all, possibly none of, their own fitting in house.

Yes That rubbish/rubble is dumped in construction sites. Is that rubbish/rubble is usual normally cleaned from construction sites in all Japanese sites I’ve seen

Why on earth should Makro change their business model. Makro is not in the business of retail sales they are wholesalers. There is no reason for them to cater to your whims. There are plenty of retailers
