I've always provided this--from Kasikorn, for many years with no issues.

It's just the way it is, but I wonder why it's not for individuals 60+ and why it won't work for those previously infected. I'm above sixty and have had dengue once and obviously don't want to get it again. I keep reading these articles hoping they come up with a vaccine which will work for ALL cases.

I thought that also. Now days I see more and more of them with lots of material posessions, kind of getting away from the original idea.

After 30+ years living here and hearing more and more cases like this I'm losing respect for monks. Many cases of this type behavior from them under the cloak of religion. I know all monks are not like this but seems to be more and more each day. Don't take a vow of celibacy if you know you can't do it, I know I couldn't......one of the reasons I'm not a monk.

Uh oh! Huge brown envelopes will need to be distributed now!!

My thoughts exactly! I was just by there today--Saturday the 3rd, and nothing was going on, no workers, no nothing. I guess the powers that be in Pattaya never use this intersection, or North Rd outbound, for that matter. As cheap as labor is here, throw more personnel on to the job and like you say, 24 hrs a day! It's different if it's some BS side street, but this is MAJOR thoroughfare. TIT

Thai airways losing face, big problem with this in Thailand--and Asia in general.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't tell people that, then it'll be the same--or worse, out here! Like all those people who say, "I've found a secret place that's got very few visitors, here's how to get to it" Oooops

Just waiting for when the Sukhumvit "upgrades" are done for them to start on beach road.........AGAIN! That seems to be on about a 3-5 year cycle. Gotta keep those brown envelopes flowing!

Awesome he was denied bail; we know what can happen when these type criminals get out.........border run! 55555

Being a female she always has something to sell to get some quick cash, no need to beg. It's a conundrum; what's worse, selling that money maker or begging?

Lucky it was only around the wheel; one time my wheel was just barely in the red zone and came out to find a large chain wrapped all the way over my bike, wheel and seat both, along with several other bikes. The ticket was under the chain, once paid, an officer came and unchained the bike. Luckily my bike wasn't that new so not a big deal.

It's actually, "The love of money is the root of all evil"

Exactly the point! Then the brown envelopes for future contracts will just keep coming and coming; if they fix the problems..........no more brown envelopes!

RIP, but basically you lost your life chasing content, followers, and "likes"......hmmmmm. Too late now but maybe you should've revaulated your life choices BEFORE jumping.

Sorry, but I don't see how his "mission" would bring any relief! In fact it probably added to the chaos as I'm sure him and his entourage came in many vehicles that added to the problem. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

I feel your pain, the Asean Now search engine just isn't that good! I feel bad when asking a question that I know I've seen before but can't find, oh well.

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.

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.

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. https://www.globalwatersolutions.com/products/pressure-tanks/pump-applications/pressurewave/

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.

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.

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.
