  1. Was reading your story again, so you only want valves in case something goes wrong? Was just following your lead on what you showed on pics. But then you can indeed shut of water supply and connect blind cap if needed on the T-joint from heater. Change connector then to a blind cap. However if you do so, it will give additional tension on T joint and fitting to heater. You work on it then even harder. I also read sink faucet (kitchen?) and bath mixer. Heater would be placed in cabinet of kitchen sink? Then how long is the way to go to bath mixer? With the flex , you already limit the flow (what is inside diameter?) and I dont know where you connect it too (tube or flex all the way to bath mixer?), if the way is long to bath mixer, you loose a lot of heat on the air, radiation convection and also waterflow due to small diameter of flex. You should better have bigger diameter flex/tube (inside diameter 13 mm), so water can flow easily and more. Insulation is preferred then also if far away. What connection has the bath mixer? You need to fill a baht!? Lots of water. Or call it bathmixermixer only for a shower? The wider the pipe, the less resistance. No, im not suggesting a 4" pipe,555, but think about it what you should use in this matter. I saw 35-50 C of 2 ltr/min, so you dont want much restrictions. The thing is 6000 W, think about proper cable, at least 4 mm2 (copper)and the proper fuse with RCBO. 6000/230= 26 A when working. 32A, B- characteristic with 30 mA safety cut off. Dont know if you have a manual, stating the wiring and/or fuse.
  2. Some old poppies With the Marmelade song, something special, as you have the solo. However the guitar player is a lefty and plays on a right hand guitar, so upside down. Checked on other movie, but it is what it is.
  3. Nothing mentioned on low testosterone, as that one also can give problems. The so called andro pause for men and women have meno pause. Like calcium break down on your bones, muscle breakdown, mood changing for instance. Im on blood pressure pills now long time, enalapril and amlodipine. Took them first simultaneous, but after long time doing so, my weight raised quick. Change in body? Or medicine? Splitted the medicines, morning/evening and weight was going down again?! Asked pharmacist if it would make difference about how to take them. No was the answer. As I had also found a Spanish published research report on BPM, which concluded that having blood medicines in evening was more effective. Pharmacist was interested on it, so I send him that research. Also red about amlodipine it can give you swollen legs and feet, which i had when in Thailand. Not here in my place, but there is tension in the legs. Of course I tried by not having BPM again for 2 weeks it there was a positive reaction. Also drinking more, as they said it could help. Yeah, it is making choices to found out. However no change and back on BPM again. Or did BPM totally screwed my system now? Medicines are a pain in the ass, as they can give you totally other things in time! It can easily take up a half year. Also had statines, but after half year got headaches. At first didnt think about medicines, went to doc, which stated migraine. After some time then the coin dropped for me, medicines?! Why would I have headache? Stopped statines and my headache was gone. Back to doc, which send me to specialist. However that one continued with other statines, resulting in the same problem. The last one was the worst. After 4 days, wanted to kill myself. So never ever I will have statines again. Red a lot about statines and concluded it was a killer. And more and more doctors claim it is not good. It is breaking down muscle, Q10 enzym in your body and many more. Saw docu, people who couldnt walk anymore. Now I notice my libido dropped, changed to low, age? or BPM as I red those medicines kill your libido and maybe with lower testosterone makes it worse and now affects me real. I notice. Have to make that hated visit to doc again. My dentist said once, your jawbone is retracting. Low T? Lost 2 teeth, due to weak setting then of redrawing bone? Once had nice teeth setting, but now? Started with 1 teeth on a chicken bone, weak setting easily break down in this case then and the one next to it after some time also, as there was no protection from teeth next to it anymore, making it more vulnerable. I noticed more older people have longer teeth showing, redrawing bone as well, due to hormone issues? So is HMT harmful? It is bringing in a substance you already had, but is lacking getting older, affecting your body then negative? Well there are negative influences. But dose would be not over, but mild, too much also couldnt be good.
  4. For instance, as there are more straight and tapered threads. You see the difference. IF you doubt, you can measure begin and end. As when the connectors get smaller, you can be mistaken. Of course threads should also be the same. I dont think for house hold there will be a lot of threads to choose from, but straight and tapered will be there. The hoses/flex (household) are mostly with a straight (G) thread and have a gasket. So if you use connectors and valves, tapered, for global fitting, you have to end with a connector from tapered to straight to fit the hoses/flex with a gasket.
  5. And how long is a Chinese
  6. A) make a separate valve manifold, fitted on the wood of cupboard, putting some clamps over the valves to connect to board and connect manifold with a flex tube to the heater output. You have some playing space for all to fit B) use straight connector down instead of elbow from outlet and then fit manifold with clamps. Probably you need some fill (wood.plastic) up under manifold to have solid fitted manifold under device. Of course a short flex could also do right. All depending on space. The way now is compact but all hangs on plastic (? easy fix) connection, vibrations (maybe) can make it worse. The valves turning gives extra tension. Maybe you never use, but ok. Valves can go more difficult in time, so you need more power, so more tension, when you use and then..? Of course you put the valve handles straight forward , so you can easily operate. Tapered (API, NPT) thread covered with teflon tape for sealing. For straight thread it is not required, as sealing is on gasket. Dont forget it is there. Dont use tapered in straight connectors and vv. You will ruin all. Use as much as possible same materials, different materials can give electro chemical corrosion. One material can be sacrificed and then at one point, you have a leak. Depending again on SS (is it 304 probably ? 316?), brass components. Of course it is city water, but do you know what is in it? Chemicals? Is pH 4, 7 , 9? If it is below 7 , better use only the 304 SS. Below 7 it is with acid and brass is not so good in acid. The zinc will solve in the water, making it all weak in time. As temperature is higher then normal , it could go faster then. Just checked ss 304 , but wouldnt give problems. I also see you have copper kettle. But brass is a composition with the easy solving material, zinc.
  7. Solve oil with plenty petrol and absorb with old cloths, paper or whatever absorbs, dry sand, maybe even cat litter. If you use solvent, dont have any fire in close proxi and vent. Maybe a last time with just water and detergent, flushing all away.
  8. Okelidokie, but now im interested in where do you put in into? You have a coffee press machine or as in west with filter? Just once seen a very humble coffee filtering machine with paper filters(just one package) and a machine with a filter, plastic perforated sheet on bottom. Both didnt give me a good vibe.
  9. I would first see IF you can get into Thailand for the rest of your life. Once was thinking about elite visa (if I was to settle over there), but that one is now completely out of the question, due to the enormous raise, on membership. Probably the ones answering are already in Thailand and have probably other (old) rules on extensions and dont have to start the process. As some reading about visa made me already dizzy. And it looks like a health insurance is a real must for a visa. So if you are 72 , can you find one and/or when will they kick you out then? IF you are kicked out, you dont comply anymore (new way) to demands of visa and therefor you are kicked out of Thailand, leaving you in the middle of nowhere. If health insurances do so, you miss demand (new way) for visum, then leaving Thailand is a fact as well. I was reading about visa and they even "kick" you out country to get appropriatie visum in embassy somewhere else. If you were married, you could do a change in visum in Savannakhet, as they dont ask for 400 kbaht on a bankaccount?! Weird. Also was said : "Much like immigration offices in Thailand, the different embassies in places such as Penang, Hong Kong, Laos, Cambodia etc. all interpret the rules a little differently." Non -o in Thailand, Siam legal: Other documents that may be required to be presented:* Police Clearance Medical Certificate Health Insurance * These are not usually required if the visa application is submitted inside Thailand, though there are rare cases, however, when an official from the Thai embassy or consulate may ask for them before issuance of the visa. So wait for interpretation of rules, which are variable. Ill bet they will come up with it. Is it wise to make Thailand your homeland? Im not sure anymore and im some younger. They somehow crashed my plans. Also opening a bank account in Thailand, can you do it? Many people have problems with it, others seem to be able to open even on a tourist visum. BUT you need an account, for your money, and a side one for visum demand. Better never to be touched again and only for visum. 800 kbaht for retirement, 400 kbaht for mariage. Of course there can be a mix, money and pension, of showing total amount. You could do the 40 kbaht on income when married, it would be just enough. So congratulations, you are going to get married. BUT keep that money (400 kbaht, well all money) away from wife then. Not long ago there was a Britt, who lost that money, his wife took it, leaving him in problems with visum and he was married long (26 years) time with Thai woman. If the story was true. But when it comes to money, weird things (can) happen. Dont think, it will not happen to me. "Enter as a Tourist and Apply for the Non-Immigrant O Visa and Extension in Thailand: The foreigner on a visa exemption stamp or a tourist visa can still apply for a retirement visa given that the foreigner has already met the requirements for the non-immigrant O visa and for the one year extension visa applications. This can be done at the immigration office in Thailand." And there we are again, you need bank account and prior to application, money on it for 2 months. Tourist visum, banks say no?! Then how? Switching to NON-o for 3 months and then bank account possible? Not better to stay in Oz and move to Thailand for long (6 months) holidays? Just ignore the people about how you should be a father and shame you. There are fathers/mothers letting their children fry in a car, as they even dont think about their children, while having them close. Enjoy as long as you can from time with family.
  10. Wonder, could this still be done in these times or everybody would be "shocked"?
  11. Complain Long lines of travelers waited at the Lumpini metro station as packed trains kept passing by. One man said angrily, “The government is so inefficient and corrupt. Why can't they solve those traffic problems? I would like to tell that Prime Minister the truth and kick him.' The people around him cheered and said: 'Wonderful, do that, also on our behalf. We will keep your place here occupied.” After a short time the man returned dejected. “Did you kick him?” 'No Unfortunately not. The line of complainants there was much longer than the line here!'
  12. Generals During a nice dinner, the conversation turned to Thai generals. “Well,” said someone, “I think they are all stupid, and the supreme boss even more so.” He was immediately arrested by a policeman in plain clothes who had heard everything sitting at a neighboring table. Some time later the friends got together again. “Do you remember that arrest?” He got thirty years in prison!” “How is that possible,” said another, “libel only lasts a year or so?” “Yes, that's true, but he was ultimately convicted of betraying a state secret!”
  13. Abhisit and Thaksin As everyone knows, former Prime Minister Thaksin and colleague Abhisit are very concerned about the fate of the poorer Thais. They therefore decided to investigate together. They rented a private plane that of course flew over the Isaan. After some time observing the land below, both agreed wholeheartedly that poverty abounded in Isaan. “Let's throw down a 1,000 baht note,” said Abhisit, “at least we'll make someone happy.” “Very nice,” Thaksin replied, “but if we throw down 10 notes of 100 baht each, we will make 10 people happy!” The pilot joined the argument somewhat angrily: "If you both jump out of the plane now, you will make everyone happy!"
  14. Issues God once invited three Southeast Asian prime ministers to listen to their problems and advise them. The Cambodian Prime Minister spoke first. “When will we leave the shock of the killing fields behind us and become a nation of good Buddhists again?” God thought for a moment and said, “A hundred years from now.” “Oh,” the Prime Minister wailed, “then I'll be dead a long time ago!” The Pemier of Laos asked the following question: “When will we become a true socialist state after thirty years of revolution?” And God answered, “In two hundred years.” The Prime Minister said with tears in his eyes: "Then I will no longer live!" Finally it was the Thai Prime Minister's turn. “We have had twenty coups since 1932. When will Thailand have a real democracy?' God was silent for a long time and then burst into tears: “I won't see that again!”
  15. Xylometazoline works great but to find it in Thailand? When i was in Thailand, my wife found a similar product (Satun), but had to run some stores to have something like this. She took my empty bottle with her and somehow found. It was not exactly the same, but worked as well. Cant remember the name, but had methazoline in name, maybe it was indeed oxymethazoline However you need to be careful in use with it. My sis used it long time , any time, resulting in glands effected negative. I do have some more problems in Thailand and then im even sleeping with an apneu machine. On the machine is a filter. But even at home sometimes need to use xylo. But had in Thailand more problems. Weird, as room is clean, we kept it clean and closed. But still. Soap? building materials? No clue. All started when i had a minor problem with nose and ENT suggested septum correction. Minor problem solved, but major problem replaced it, blocking nose. Suggestion of ENT was: do it again. So hopefully , I did. However without a succes again. So a-lining nose septum was not the right thing to do? In order to have less problem with blocking nose, would be returning the way it was and then back to minor problem? DOnt know, I passed for a third time and live with the sometimes blocking nose for decades. Also found away to have less problem by adjusting the way to go to sleep. First time I did while being knocked out complete, took me many hours to really awake again, of course in the middle of the night. So second time did a local, however that one is a really adrenaline generating procedure. Though nose, and more, was sedated, I could feel the scalpel scratching my nose nostrils. Weird. After that operation I was loaded with adrenaline and was up and wandering around. Another ENT was surprised to see me walking around. OK some life experience on nose, but for blocking nose, oxymethazoline or xylomethazoline, but be AWARE of long time, negative use effect. For using it efficient. Lay down sideways and put a drop in nose hole, on other side of on where you are laying down. Rub when it is in and also snif in on that nose hole. Wait for 5-10 minutes, lying down sideways. It takes time to start working. If you have spray, then spray in and snif in instantly and then lay down sideways. Also do some rubbing then on nose hole. If one hole is open, you could be able to sleep then. If really bothering, then also other nose hole.
  16. Maybe he should emigrate to India, it is "quite normal" over there. He can do, from about, a 7 year old. Mind, i cant put in sarcasme in words.
  17. Of course the fridge gets hot on one (heath release) side. Where you think the heat, from cooling section, should go otherwise? AC is on same principle, you cool one section and heat has to go out on other section. Only with AC it goes outside the room, otherwise it would be worthless. Yes, there are fridges with fans but only inside the fridge to circulate the cool air. Outside? Never met one. Natural proces by getting rit of heat by convection, radiation. Always wondered why in Thailand, there is no open cooling system, but had the idea as Khunbenq wrote, insects and other animals to nestel there. Maybe also to prevent from corrosion, as Thailand is very moist. You will notice a growth of ice inside the fridge on your cooling elements. The more you open and close the door, the faster the ice will grow, due to moist air flowing in the fridge. That is also why you take care, products are sealed and can not dry out your products, as it will happen if you dont prevent. And the moist will go to the cooling elements to create ice. If you have a good fridge, it will auto defrost. IF not then regular, you have to manual defrost the cooling elements. Most of the time, cheaper fridges with freezing and cooling sections in one . The thicker the ice gets, the less in efficient your fridge and wasted energy. So keep fridge as less as possible open, especially in Thailand with very moist air. Hot on one side? Good, your fridge is working.
  18. In EU only higher interest, because of inflation and the ones who are really proffitting are the banks. All due to Ukraine. After 2008 crash, there was the new system and your interest lowered to 0.1%. And then it even could get negative, so you have to pay them ! So you could be happy if Thailand is giving you 0.1%. Wait for inflation in Thailand and it will go up. It is what they first do when inflation goes up. Not that it will help as many things arent affordable anymore. Prices goes up and take away what you ever "earn" with interest. So you are good in storing money in UK bank, as Thai inflation is still not that big. But it is already running up. I wonder what would happen if all people take out there cash from banks and just put it at home. USA showed with a bank, they get in trouble. Banks arent anymore the banks from the past and only going for own gain as much as possible. And the global system helps them.
  19. Had grinder from known brand, though cheapest one to be found. Half year further on problem with switch, fixed it. When I opened, i couldnt believe what kind of vulnerable stupid switch they made in it. For known (at least for me Tomado) it was absurd. There are millions of switches and they choose a hand made vulnerable thingy on a printboard. Problem returned, so then by passed the switch. Now still working ok after many years. You adapt to new situation and ok. When i grind, I shake. Thailand is even way more moist, so could give faster problems with sticking and heating up. Nowadays you dont know what you get, it will be a surprise for you to found out. Have Sony tv, but after guarantee period, a red line over screen. Contacted Sony, but gave me a bad deal in service, so I let it be and just ignore tiny red line over screen, dont notice it anymore and live with the red line. Brand, no brand, it makes no difference. And for that price, just try. 3300 items sold ! 4.9 rate, checked reviews?
  20. Let him pay for a special visum. TSEV: Thaksin Special Elite Visum. Only one year 1 billion baht.
  21. OK this was step one. Next step is too raise all other visa to 19000 baht for extension and having bank account of 1.2 million baht. Being married, just double 800 k baht. Income method? You must have at least 130 kbaht/month. Let's get it on !
