You really have no concept of the economics of flying do you? You want the minimum KKC -> DMK fair to be 3 to 4 times higher? Many top tier airports do not have CATIII ILS equipment on all runways, it is horrendously expensive to install and maintain. Also there are aircraft, again from well known airlines, that are either not equipped with the equipment to take advantage of the ILS CATIII or whose pilots who are not trained and certified to use it. Some airports like LHR are equipped due to the likelihood of fog making a CATIII landing the only choice. But get an airport that seldom has bad enough conditions or one that is small, like Udon or few if any of the aircraft are equipped for zero visibility landing and whose crews are not trained for it and in low visibility conditions diverting is the correct choice.

No it doesn’t, you hold the hose end into the gunk/sand at the bottom and siphon it out. To just drain the tank take out the drain plug near the bottom. The only problem is if the sides of the tank have algae, then you will need a brush on a stick and as high pressure water as you can get, then let it settle for a few days and use the siphon I described above.

You don’t say exactly what the airports ILS systems are and if they are CATIII airports along with the training of the pilots in using CATIII ILS along with if the planes are certified and equipped with the technology. In Canada, almost certainly the pilots didn’t nail, it the plane did and landed itself. In Thailand and Laos it’s very unlikely that the airports are equipped with the zero visibility technology because the virtually never need it. So uneducated much???

A long hose 2 ½ X the hight of the tank, a bamboo pole about 1 ¼ the hight of the tank. Tie the hose to the bamboo slightly below the end of the pole, get a siphon going and use the bamboo pole to direct it.

1) a 25% increase in processing time is very significant. 2) the automated gates stopped functioning 3) that means that the number of immigration officers needed to maintain usual speeds is probably about 3 times the usual, but there are not enough processing stations to allow for the IOs required not to mention that it is unlikely that they have that number of IOs doing nothing to deploy. Did you think before posting the comment?

That looks like it will help. I would build a second set of pipe and connections that you can swap in but make them 1.7 times the hight. The reason for that measurement is so that at least one of the 2 is likely to have a volume that will not have a harmonic so will be much more effective. It is also easy and cheap to do.

Since you have 10,000 litres that you can already fill then you need to pump from the tanks you already have and can fill with the current supply It is not hypothetically wrong. It is absolutely wrong and a bad idea As above you pump from your current in ground tanks. I really don’t understand why you are trying to do something that is both against the water supply regulations, supremely selfish and potentially dangerous. If you are sucking from the mains you are going to cut the supply from everyone else, suck in contaminated water and suck in dirt to mention just 3 reasons why you are prohibited from pumping directly from the mains.

That (apart from the unprotected fridge) was as I understood.

It sounds as if you still have all or most circuits protected by RCBOs, I’d so then not using a whole house RCBO is no problem. There is certainly one circuit that probably should not have an RCBO on it and that is the one that has the refrigerator and freezer on it. Personally I have 3 zones with RCBOs and I haven’t got a fridge/freezer unprotected circuit, but I should have.

Leave the light bulb alone it’s happy in its orientation and doesn’t want to change!

You might think so, and the landlord could even agree (possibly not but probably) and in 6 months or more may eventually do something. However if you want it working well today then you do it or pay for someone to do it, then you can try to get the landlord to allow you to deduct it from your next rent payment. Some will, some will not

I was only just able to persuade an IO to stamp me in Visa exempt when I had an existing Tourist visa. It took a lot of talking to the officer and I think it was only allowed as I was staying for less than a day before my confirmed and ticked flight out of Thailand. It was emphasised that this was very unusual and I should never expect this to be allowed again. So in short I think your chances are virtually zero that your plan will be allowed. you will have to enter with the Non-O get a reentry permit for your second entry from Cambodia and if needed get an extension to allow your time from your second entry.

It makes sense to go up to 1½” wherever possible as that is the point at which friction losses become negligible, the difference between 1½” and ½ is about 80X less, this is also why you should go back up even if you have to use a smaller section or valve. Naturally you will not want to change the pipe in the walls but everything else will help. FWIW SWMBO waters the garden and we had a 1” 50 meter pipe that got old and needed replacing, she was insisting on getting another 1” pipe but after almost fighting allowed me to get a 1½” pipe the change cut the amount of time needed by about 50%, sometimes she now believes that I do actually know what I talk about.

Just one point. Use the largest convenient size of pipe as much as possible and only reduce the size to ½” at the outlets. You will reduce friction loss to a minimum that way. FWIW our plumbing is all 32mm until the outlets, this means that when there is a power cut we can still shower as even though the pressure is reduced from 4 bar to 0.8 bar we still have enough flow.

As I said, that certainly is not ideal as there should be no connection between the 2 supplies, but TIT and the check valves, if correct positioned, are going to reduce or stop the flow between them so if you can’t plumb them to individually feed into the storage tank it’s a bodge, but a reasonably competent bodge Not very, but a very small one like ½” would not be very good Again the exact size isn’t critical, but I wouldn’t go smaller than 1” You have lost me. What pressure relief?

That (like the pipe work shown) was completely wrong Excellent plan The larger the section of blocked vertical pipe the more effective it is likely to be. However attach it with a screw fitting not glue and the same for the end cap. The reason being that if you use screw fitting you can easily substitute a taller/shorter section of pipe, this will allow you to disrupt any harmonic that you may, inadvertently, introduce into the system. If you don’t do that you may just amplify the hammer not eliminate it. No water meters sold in Thailand have a check valve. Definitely showing back flow and definitely wrongly plumbed. That is better, and possibly good enough, the correct plumbing will allow both supplies to independently fill the tank but neither supply to directly connect to the other. The problem with that is you need 2 separate feeds (with float valves) into the top of your tank and you may not have the required inlet ports built into the tank.

That is a situation that neither the city water or village water supply services are going to be happy with, it is quite likely that they both have regulations that prohibit back feeding and probably could cut off service. I would urgently put in 2 NVRs to avoid problems. It maybe that you don’t have access to the pipework if so you should contact both suppliers to get it fixed. Your explanation of the way the pipe runs will not allow your meter to run backwards. If your meter can run backwards then you have not given a correct explanation of the system.

However you can cancel the debit card. SWMBO has accounts with 4 banks and no debt cards with any.

Just a FWIW. I’m now 5 days post opp from a laparoscopic umbilical hernia . The total cost with 5 days stay was 124,000 or roughly ½ the Bangkok Hospital quote. I highly recommend the Srinagarind Hospital for professionalism, though checks for blood pressure at about 2 hour intervals didn’t allow a very restful night (my blood pressure was all over the place so the checks were understandable) The food was a good effort, though not fine dining. I will be happy to elaborate if there are any questions

It was easy to do where I live, it just took a bit of time.

The near perfect counterfeit product is extremely unlikely to test in real world conditions as the genuine product, the near perfect description doesn’t include the actual performance of the chips. If it did there would be no benefit to the seller to discount it by such a large margin. Were they selling product that was actually virtually the same they could economise on the guarantee, this would allow a moderately reduced price, you mention that RAM has a low failure rate, this is QC checked ram in answer to your question running ½ price ram is not worth the savings

Do note that the Aqara devices have at least 2 versions, if you have a Chinese version rather than a non Chinese, international, version (I know they all come from China)you may not be able to update the SW. it is quite possible to buy the domestic Chinese version from aliexpress

I have, but they were glass and metal syringes

My Thai drivers licenses do not have my passport number

Having received about 30 visas from the Thai consulate in Tokyo, from 3 different locations, they moved the consular section, I have never been refused. This does mean that I have spent many hours in those offices and have witnessed people being refused, on a couple of those occasions I was asked to help by an embassy officer, so I do have personal knowledge of the refusals and reasons for them. Most were because they didn’t have the section 10 requirement “One copy of residence card or certificate of alien registration”that means nobody who is just visiting Japan can get a tourist (or almost any) visa FWIW I have never had a visa application refused for any country. The conditions were more free in the past, not so now.
