Is it an invertor (DC Compressor) type or just a more efficient AC compressor type? If invertor type then once the set temperature has been reach the compressor and fan will slow down to a very level to maintain the temperature, They are far superior (and cheaper to run) than conventional AC compressor types which are either fully on or fully off during load/unload conditions. Air Cons themselves cannot reduce the amount of oxygen in the room as they are closed loop just recycling the same air in the room.

I have the Accord 2.0l Hybrid and must admit I love it, especially the instant torque and fuel consumption is great. Watched a youtube video on the power train breakdown into components (generator, electric motors etc) and the engineering is incredible. Only thing I miss is normal engine revving and gear changes but with an automatic you don't really get that now anyway.

Agree regarding Dr Somchai at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Also worth looking at (pardon the pun) Lens replacement surgery as with Lasik you may still need reading glasses later in life whereas Multiocular Lens Replacement is a lifetime fix for both long and short sighted problems and no chance you will ever get cataracts, costs about 220K baht at BPH.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Do you know if this link is for tax and NI or only tax related issues ?

Thanks, I have sent them a message, they said up to 10 days for a reply, fingers crossed.

I've been trying for months to get through to HMRC regarding backdating my NI contributions, I keep giving up after about 50 minutes waiting. Maybe claims is a different department ?

You do keep your money in a normal savings account and the 'credit card' is linked to that account. The only difference between a normal credit card and the card foreigners normally receive here is that you must have the funds in your account to cover the cost of your current monthly bill. Used it extensively when building a house for buying materials etc. With the amount of points I accumulated I can purchase items from the online store or pay for Pizza company deliveries etc 🙂. Only got an Ipad and about 20 pizzas so far but still have heaps of points. For me they are extremely convenient, mines is KBank and no yearly charge.

It is obviously Reefer madness, ban the devil's lettuce immediately, just one look at it can make you addicted for life, and your unborn offspring.

I'm an all day smoker when at home, have been since my 20's, now in my 50's. When i go to work I cannot smoke for the full month, but when get home for a month go back to all day smoking, done this for 30 years. A bonus of this is for the first couple of days home I can get completely baked on a very small amount. I can say for me there is pretty much zero comedown or side effects when stopping that I notice. Had a few periods when i stopped completely for a few months at a time just to prove to myself that i can but I really enjoy it so I start again. Regarding productivity, I find it depends on the strain but a general rule of thumb for me is Sativa during the day which actually sometimes helps me focus and get stuff done, a nice indica to chill at night.

You did ask why not many tourist go.... Pretty much a waste of time going at the moment as you can't really go anywhere and there are curfews in place, but up to you as they say....

1st Feb 2021 was the military coup, too long to explain so better do some research yourself. It is a truely amazing country but due political situations it has never been developed for mass tourism but numbers were picking up before the coup. Travel outside of Yangon is very restricted at the moment and not safe, civilian population are probably the nicest people I have ever met.

Current civil war perhaps ?

Seriously, just keep changing like for like as previously suggested, maybe try to source higher quality standard microswitches to get longer out it

Agreed, NEMUR type cannot be used for AC unless specially designed, but the 2 types the OP mentioned are 'dumb' mechanical or magnetic type

The ratings on these switches are just the maximum voltage the switch contacts can handle, therefore makes no difference if low voltage AC or DC

We have had a joint account for over 20 years with BKK Bank but they will only issue 1 ATM and only 1 person can have the mobile banking, well that's we were informed previously, not sure if this has changed.

With BKK Bank you can print a 1 year statement from the mobile app instantly. Previous visit to immigration they said they needed a 1 year statement (first time they have ever asked in 10 years), immigration lady showed me how to do it from the app, emailed it to her and she printed it off for me in the immigration office free of charge. This was at Map Ta Phut immigration where they are usually very helpful.

Or a Thai Credit card...., which you get points for using etc which you don't get with debit card. Just recently got an Ipad for the Mrs from points and still got a load left.

To pay for things in Thailand from your Thai bank account without any currency exchange fees ?

I believe I am not, mine doesn't cover OPD as i didn't opt to pay the premium.

Not true, many policies do not cover Out-Patient Treatment (OPD) unless you pay a premium

Do you mean lens replacement surgery for cataracts ? I had both eyes done with new multifocal lens's (sp?) at BKK Pattaya. If only getting one eye done at a time was told no overnight stay, if do both at same time then overnight stay. I opted for both at same time due to having to return to work, they did first eye, waited 10 minutes to confirm I could see ok from that eye then did the second eye. Surgeon and staff were all excellent, now fully sighted again and hopefully never need glasses again, more than happy with the outcome.
