It was not power of attorney. The problem is the account has to be in a single name, but how can a partner get the money from the account? I remember there was a English and a Thai term for it...

No help, but I remember this also. A lot of people think a Thai can get the money out of an account that's not in their name because of a will, but they can't. Maybe a lawyer can get it for them but I know what you're talking about, hopefully a poster can enlighten us both on what it is. As proton mentioned in a previous post; joint signatory maybe?

RIP to this man.

As far as bee stings; I've gotten apitherapy before for arthritis in my fingers, worked well but not the most pleasant experience. Arm was swollen clear up to my shoulder after one ten sting session. Plus it was incredibly itchy for about twenty four hours, a deep, deep itch that you couldn't get too. Would I do it over again(?), yes because I couldn't hardly bend my fingers in the mornings before the treatments.

That's a nice setup.  What pump do you have that mounts directly on the tank?

These pumps are variable flow and very quiet. First one I had lasted 10-15 years, the water I have is real alkaline so pretty sure that contributed to it's failure, plus I didn't have an accumulator tank with the first one so it started and stopped a lot more. I would definitely buy these again.

Smaller 60-100L tanks on Lazada:

Yes, I have a similar one, different brand to these but same idea. Any of those should work depending on how you want to plumb it in.

I bought mine at one of the local pump/tank shops.

Would you mind posting a photo of the system?

Here's some pics of the system. I built a manifold in order to have all options available; I can feed my pump directly from moo ban system, fill my underground tank, have pump suck from underground tank, or bypass pump and use pressure from moo ban system--which is not very much but usable in an emergency.

First pipe right side of mainfold: water in to system which can feed pump directly and/or fill my underground tank depending on what valves are opened/closed.

Second pipe moving to the left; a bypass around pump system in case pump fails.

Third pipe is fill for underground tank

Fourth pipe is suction from unerground tank to pump inlet

As you can see on the opposite side is the pump outlet feeding my system and teeing off to fill the pressure tank.

I used unions in case something goes wrong with valves or piping, I can easily remove the whole manifold without cutting/gluing pipes. I've never had an issue with the unions except when I was gone and my wife had to get the pump changed by a Thai water/pump guy. He couldn't understand the system or why I used unions; he wanted to cut everything out and glue in new pipes. I told my wife to just wait till I got back, no problem. The unions are rated for the pressure I have on the outlet side.

As far as the tank price, it was quite a few years ago but I want to say somewhere around 6k-7k baht. It's got a rubber bladder inside that holds pressurised air on one side and water on the other. Also the tank has a mount on top that fit my pump directly, no mods needed.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

Mitsubishi defo'......and certainly worth considering a pressure tank.....I'm looking to buy one to prevent the pump having to continually stop/start for the small amounts of water we keep demanding.

Installed a pressure tank and has helped extend the life of my pump. One thing that contributes to pump failure is the starting/stopping. With a pressure tank the pump starts then runs longer--in order to fill up the tank, but has fewer starts/stops. Definitely a good addition to a system.

Motorists started slowing down at zebra crossings and there was a huge spike in rear-end collisions.  

Exactly! I ALAWAYS look in my rear view mirror when stopping at zebra crossings as the Thais generally don't stop just beacause a light has changed to red. There needs to be someone crossing for them to stop.

55555555! So funny! How many drunks do they think will wait around to sober up?! I've been out, and drunk many times, and have never once thought about hanging around somewhere to sober up! If I'm hanging around I'm having another one! The idea looks good on paper, but in reality.....I don't think so! 

55555! Wouldn't think any Thai city or city official would be interested in this day! Maybe an "all show no go" type of deal!

It may be because the Jomtien immigration asks for more, or different, documents than most other immigration centers. They won’t even accept some of the documents on the Thailand official immigration website as they have their own documents that they want. 

Exactly, and they probably wonder "why stupid farangs don't know what papers to bring!"

At home with my wife

Such a strange concept, no ones pointing at him and I still know he's the one the story's about.

I know mothers are off limits for a lot of people but this one for a birthday:

Congratulations on the day your face rubbed your mother's pussy.

The best part of you ran down your daddy's leg.

5555555! What a bunch of clowns! Been here 30 years and it hasn't been finished ever; it just remains in a constant state of flux. Gotta keep those brown envelopes flowing to the right hands; hard to keep that happening if everything is finished!

Was there any doubt this wuold happen?

Your mother should have swallowed you.

Or there is an opportunity that they are found innocent when DNA proves they didn't do it. Too late once they are dead

I guess we'll agree to disagree on this.

I see too many cases like the one I attached that could've been prevented; now in this example six lives were taken needlessly and multiple family members affected for the rest of their lives all because a scumbag that doesn't deserve to live "paid his debt to society", and was let out.

Another example I've linked--if it's allowed, is a guy who killed his 92 year old grandmother with a hammer, sent to prison for only 18 years, got out then set fire to a house to draw firefighters in, then shot four of them killing two. If he would've been put to death two lives would've been saved and numerous lives wouldn't have been negatively affected by this monster. You have to admit, someone who kills his grandmother with a hammer probably shouldn't be allowed back into society, and in my opinion should have been out to death.

I will admit systems aren't perfect and innocent people have been put to death. Life is not perfect and no perfect justice system exists.

This will be my last post on this as it's an issue that is black and white for most people and no amount of discussion will change whichever view they believe, kind of like the "Do you believe in god" thread that's been running for years on here.
