What  preventative   maint..  is  there  for a  working transformer? 

Routine inspections:-

Is there any sign of a problem.

Any sign of water ingress.

All relevant panels closed and secured.

Any oil leak.

etc.

I'm guessing you're not an engineer.

What the F did I just read? The 101 are now going to pay for a sewage system because they don't think they're going to get booted off their illegal encroachment? Where exactly is this purported sewage system going to go?

Didn't we have a post recently where 16 or so Thai registered airlines were found to be in breach of safety regulations, but they couldn't be named. Chocolate companies, who haven't done anything wrong, apparently, can be named. What's wrong with this sketch .....?

a gal living in one of the units at my bkk condo offered a tattoo for the cost of materials only (approx 140-200 baht) she said the tattoo is overseen by the teacher-master at her school therefore the result is a quality tattoo at a very good price. anyone that knows about tattoos feel free to comment. thank you

 

I know one thing about tattoos - they're with you for the rest of your life. Think carefully, no matter how cute the tattooist is or how cheap it can be.

go for it. you wont regret it and with a tattoo people will think you're a much more attractive and interesting person. win win.

I have this programme on my computer that can smell sarcasm from a mile away -and it's screaming so loud at me now I have to wear ear protection.

A year and a half old thread about suicide that's just been revived. Perhaps the Mods are sleeping.

I'll give it - 5, 4, 3, 2 .....

I believe OP is asking about a fair price for a standard motorbike taxi taken from the side of the road on a "I want it now, take me there" sort of basis. In that vein, I'm usually asked for about 140B from Chaiyapreuk 2 to South Pattaya, a distance of about 10Km. The return trip is more expensive, so it's more a question of where you start from, not the distance involved. The trip along 2nd road from Soi 13 to Soi 6 (A kilometre and a bit, 15 minute walk) costs not less than 60 Baht.

The more bikes waiting at a stand, the more expensive it's going to be, as they go to the back of the queue when they return. Simple economics - wait an hour in the queue - get a fare for 1Km and back to the end of the queue 10 minutes later; not worth their time if they don't get a good payment for that trip.

Walking Street to Big C on Klang for 100B seems like a bargain to me - what shocked you about it?

Simple maths. 24 cans of Chang at 320ml each for 708 Baht equals 92.18 Baht per litre. 12 Bottles at 630ml each for 568 Baht equals 75.13 Baht per litre. Can sell the empty bottles for about the same as you'd get for the scrap aluminium price.

Are you physically incapable of assembling furniture yourself, or just too non-engineer inclined to figure out how? Unfortunately I'm back out of the country tomorrow, or I would have been happy to spend an afternoon fixing your furniture for the cost of a case of Chang. Mr Swiss1960 is taking the piss at 600B/hr for Ikea style.

Just had mine replaced. 'Boy Air and Sound' on the east side of Sukhumvit road a bit north of the Na Klua lights. Can't remember exactly how much, but I think they were a bit over 1000B each. Fitted them for free while I waited.

Why is this in the 'worst joke ever' forum. This is so damn true it needs a whole forum of its own!!!!

They would be better served painting lines at road junctions; as it is, no one has right of way and it's a free-for-all.  The old SAS motto is very apt - 'He who dares/is stupid enough/bigger/heavier/blind/drunk wins.

The problem is a bit of a legacy from the past. Technically the newer railway road has right of way, but the East/West road drivers think they still do. Painting lines, while not completely solving the problem, would certainly clarify the issue a bit; although that is far too simple and cheap a solution for the Pattaya authorities to get their heads around.

The speed is limited only by the horrendous road surface that resembles a moto cross circuit.

That looks just like soi 13/3. No-one goes fast down that soi !!

Stones , glasshouses , throwing and don't are forming a picture in my mind .. How does it go again  .. ?

The word is "shouldn't" not "don't", but your point is valid. People who bother you complaining about other people bothering you, is, to put it mildly, hilarious.

"Speed limit signs indicating 30-, 40- and 60-kilometer per hour zones, each two meters tall, were painted in three lanes."

I know this is Thailand and they'll find ways , but a 2 metre tall sign would sure slow me down a bit

For a minute then I thought I read 22,000 Baht a night

 

 

I must have the same double-vision problem. I could have sworn it said 22,000 Baht a night as well!

Traffic jam?

Dodged a bullet, We should all be very thankful that headline was never reality.

Are you nuts?? Look at the reality that actually happened.

Outlets of 'Big Camera' will usually accept repairs for a small fee and forward a camera to the official repair agency, probably in Bangkok. My Canon went that route.

Not hypothetical. Real life for me. So if it happened to you what would you do? It's a given if you touched the drink at all you would definitely have to buy the drink.

I would quite simply drink my drink, pay for it and leave.

Hypothetical question I'm afraid. Given the length of time it seems to take most wait-staff to return with a 'no-hab' report, I'd be on my second drink.

Apparently so. Just ask The Donald.

The problem here would seem to be an anomaly on the November bill - the one on the right. The meter was read on 29th November and the reading was 868. The 'previous' reading however was zero - the numbers under the boxed titles 1/3 of the way from the top. The December bill has the November's 868 brought forward correctly and a new reading on the 12th December of 879. One can only guess why a correct previous reading wasn't brought forward; computer glitch, human error, meter change that the computer can't calculate, etc.

The chap needs the October bill which will show what meter reading should have been brought forward onto the November bill. The December bill is still high as it has the unpaid November bill brought forward.

Only 158 Baht for the December bill as opposed to his normal 300 Baht is simply because the meter was read just 2 weeks after the previous reading (29th Nov to 12th Dec) for some reason.

Very confusing title as I always assumed that "being pissed off" WAS an emotion. Reading the (very vague) post though I'm left wondering if you actually meant "emoticons"?
