  1. I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet and I have a similar problem with electronic waste disposal. I have 3 dead printers, 5 or 6 keyboards, some mouses, 2 sets of fan coolers for laptops but no laptop, a dead computer, 2 dead laptops, dead batteries both normal and rechargeable, a perfectly good rechargeable torch but the charger is dead and I can't find another one. There doesn't seem anywhere to dispose of them.
  2. I wonder why you all bothered voting for POTY 2023 a person who has not even visited the site since December 2020.
  3. It goes to prove the old saying. 1 You can fool all of the people for some of the time. 2 You can fool some of the people for all of the time. 3 But you cannot fool all of the people for all of the time. You seem to believe a proven compulsive serial liar. That must put you in the #2 category. Can you please answer a simple yes or no question? Do you honestly believe that Trump won the 2020 presidential election?
  4. So basically if I understand you, the immigration staff were only doing their job properly. They could hardly do it if they were in full uniform could they?
  5. So you claim know several people who this has happened to over how many years and how many expats have there been in Thailand during that time? Were they all absolutely 100% innocent? That may be your experience, but it certainly is not mine, nor of anyone that I know. quote from your post "They hate us all and will go to extreme lengths to make problems. Best to remember that. BTW who are the mysterious "they" that hate us all? I can't think of anybody in any position, Thai or farang that, in your words, hate us all? In my 30 years in Thailand I don't remember any Thais hating me. On the contrary, most Thais that I have met have been friendly and helpful. Perhaps both you and the OP live in a different Thailand to many of us.
  6. It was in my generation, long before most of the whiners and complainers were even born.
  7. He is on my ignore list, but I sometimes read his comments, just to see how low he can go.
  8. Your comment seems to be about the same level as always. Abysmally low. It seems as though you must live in a different Thailand to most people.
  9. It has that evil nasty word in it which was the name of Guy Gibson's dog. Back in those days it was a perfectly normal name for a dog.
  10. My neighbour has a similar problem with her deceased husbands US military pension. Because today is a Thai bank holiday the pensions are probably sitting safe and warm in the Thai banks central branch, as there is no human to transfer it to your personal bank account. What I don't understand is that you can deposit and withdraw money from your personal bank account 24/7/365 but any inbound or outbound transfers have to be handled by a human being. It is not as if the bank staff actually have to count the money by hand either. I can get a 12 month bank statement from KBank branch on bank headed paper with the bank "chop" and a scribbled signature any time that they are open. It takes about 30 minutes. BKK bank OTOH will only issue 6 months statement at the branch level, but for 12 months statements, the branch has to refer to head office and that takes 3 working days. They are very reluctant to put the bank "chop" and a scribbled signature as well.
  11. My pensions are transferred to Wise and then I transfer them to Bangkok bank. I also check the forex rates for KBank, BKK bank, Wise and XE against the actual transfer rate that I get from Wise. That rate from Wise is always higher than the quoted forex rate of the other banks websites. The transfers to my Wise account are free, but the out going transfer rate is higher than 70p and it the fee rate, depends on how much I convert each time.
  12. But how much would the BYD really cost if it was not subsidised?
  13. How about Bradfordistan?
  14. Thank you. The forum needs more posts like this in 2024 to counter all the doom and gloom posted so far this year and it is only 14:22 on 01 January 2024.
  15. If you want to know something, do your own research as most posters do. Then if it is right, good for you. If it is wrong, then the problem is yours.
  16. I have 5 rows of 4 ongs cross connected. The mains fills 4 tanks and the bigger lumps of silt sink to the bottom of the ongs. Each row of 4 then run through 2 replaceable 5 micron filters and then to the pump, which is by coincidence, a Mitsubishi EP 305 pump. I still see around the toilet bowl, the shower head, and even in the 200 litre water barrel has silt smaller than 5 microns. If the OP doesn't have filters before the pump, then perhaps silt may be partly blocking the input feed, or even the pump output pipe, making the pump work harder and thus overheating. My system is similar to Crossey's drawing posted by MCJM except that I have 4 tanks connected and after the tanks I have 2 x 5 micron disposable filters before the pump input (valve #1 on the drawing). The Mitsu pump has 1 inch connectors and if the pipes connected to it are smaller (1/2 or 3/4 inch bore), this could also affect the water flow and make the pump work harder and overheat.
  17. It also goes well with Ghurkha rum. This sounds nice. https://www.khukrirum.com/
  18. I would also like to pass my good wishes to all the posters and workers on ANN/TVF and hope that you all have a Happy and better 2024 than 2023 was.
  19. Thank you.
  20. Thank you and a Happy and Better New Year to you also.
  21. Trump is not a lawyer either, and he became president. He was and still is a serial liar. Rudy Giuliani was mayor of New York and a lawyer. Admittedly not a very good one, or he would not have been stiffed by Trump for his fee and cast aside. Does it say anywhere that to be a senator or a secretary of State for a state that you have to be a lawyer. Some of the richest and most influential in the USA have never been lawyers either.
  22. Is that your official legal opinion? She has been a state senator for 5 years and the Secretary of State for Maine for 2 years. What legal and governmental qualifications do you have? If your qualifications are more and better than hers, why are you not a senator or a Secretary of State in the USA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenna_Bellows A very interesting young lady who I hope will go far n US politics.
  23. It looks as though PKF Nuobello, carefully distilled the latest tax updates and completely and, perhaps conveniently, omitted to mention that if you are to pay income tax in Thailand, you are also allowed to claim allowances against that income. Information and perhaps disinformation as well can be found on several existing threads, which my be more accurate than this particular thread.
  24. That would work for me, especially in a pickup truck.
