Good to see the figures are declining but last I read Thailand was #6 in the world for generating plastic debris; pretty bad for this small of a country, still a long ways to go!

Not sure what pump you have as you didn't mention the model or type, but most of them have a pressure switch that prevents the pump from over pressurizing the system. It usually starts the pump at a preset low pressure then cuts off at a preset higher pressure. Sounds like to me the pump isn't reaching it's cut off pressure. Could be an airlock in the pump--the pump needs to be bled totally of air; or it's running and won't shut off because you're switching it off before it reaches the cut off pressure--you didn't say how long it's running. I would start with making sure ALL air is out of the system, then if there's a gauge in the system, watching that to see of the pressure climbs. I've had pumps before that had air in them but built up some pressure so it seems like it's working, but it never got high enough to cut off. Good luck.

Same same, different day

555555......that's funny!

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the red/white striping around town, maybe related to brown envelopes exchanging hands with the businesses involved. Or budgets needing to be used up so they get more in the future.

Sorry if someone already posted this:

It's funny, I have't seen any Thai hotel/condo/house owners brought up on charges of not reporting foreigners, only foreigners not reporting foreigners.........hmmmmm.

I feel your pain, with electrical problems...........and some of the people on this forum. I wish you luck with this as I've been through numerous electricians here without resolving my issues.

What about the Chinese "meddling" in many countries around the world....guess that's different, eh?

Ummmmm, the country with the highest number of road deaths in the world, and they want to raise the limit........gotta wonder what the logic is

He's remorseful and offered to pay 45 million baht to the family....this goes a LONG way in my eyes. So many Thai drivers flee the scene, never admit they did anything, drag the case out as long as they can hoping it all goes away.....some even fleeing the country--you TV followers know who I mean, then go to the temple for a few months. At least this guy was willing to "man up", admit it was his fault and take responsibility for his actions, and do the right thing compensating the family. It doesn't bring back their family members but it sure does help the remaining family's future.

Awesome! I love to see the bad people get what's coming to them and good people win! Love the guy trying to tap out; this isn't the cage buddy this is real life and you f**ked up! Luckily the Italian guy is good hearted. 

I'm not an electrician but from my experience with Thai house electrics the problem is Thai electricians don't distinguish between L and N, they tend to interchange them. Better to have this checked out, good luck finding a qualified electrician over here; I've had 4 out to my place with a wide array of answers/solutions to various problems. By the way I had the same issue with one of my shower taps, finally disconnected the heater for fear of getting electrocuted.

Just to update this thread; Bumrungrad does not perform this medical anymore. I've done it there for years but they told me in July 2019 they no longer perform this procedure. Samitivej Suhkumvit does as of this date.

I remember a few years back when the baht was climbing and Thai businessmen started expressing their concerns; the Thai govt said, "Don't worry, we will keep it around 36 to the USD." 55555! 

Agree with poster futsukayoi, the medicinal benefits come the CBD not from smoking it. I'm sure there are SOME benefits from smoking but the CBD provides more. I think most people who want the medicinal benefits will be using the oil.

55555 that's funny, better he takes a better look around if he's worried about this, national parks come to mind as just ONE example!

(Sorry rocketpreacher, didn't read this far before posting.)

And some of us wonder why they're making visas harder to get.

My niece works for the mall and she says the owner is eventually going to turn it totally into a kids playground; can't see that big of a mall making money on that business model but good luck to him.

Basically you need some sort of pesticide/food source that they'll take back to their nest and kill the queen otherwise they'll keep coming. The rate at which they reproduce and eat is incredible.....in a bad way.
