  1. .Other options instead of nuclear power include increases in liquefied natural gas imports and power purchases from neighbouring countries, along with more intensive development of small power producers and renewable energy

    Link

    well, if neighbouring countries, such as burma, are increasing their national demand,

    they will not have capacities, to sell it to thailand.

  2. I have a redbox at the frontgate, where the police reports their daily visit at the gate,

    but they never entering the ground, for checking the house,

    only, if the frontgate would stand open.

    They are good, for having a first look on the house from the distance,

    showing presence, and in dangerous situations, in case, your home is difficult to find,

    it helps, that you can give them your redbox number, for a quick visit.

  3. was looking for a company, who is doing the job of a

    Home Check Service - We Will Physically Check Your Home 1-3 Times per Week

    cause the normal house insurance contract has the part, - during your absence, the house should be checked every 7 days.

    That means, to be covered by the house insurance during your trips,

    you need s.o., who is not causing problems.

    The only thread, in Thaivisa Pattaya Forum is about alarm systems,

    http://www.thaivisa....m-installation/

    as far, as I spoke with the security companies,

    only securitas.co.th is offering a 1 year Mobile Patrol Service contract,

    with every day check up, what is to much, for the basic needs of a insurance contract partner.

    There are also many small, 1 man security guard companies,

    but which one is recommended ?

  4. key question,

    which company can you give a pair of your house keys.

    If you are spending a week on an island, you get an alarm from your IP cam, that is connected with your router,

    and sending the picture to a automatic monitoring alarm website,

    who can you call, to look after your house in that moment,

    who can make the first police report for you ?

  5. What customer would stand there "reading the Ikea catalog aloud?

    Me,

    when entering IKEA Thailand, starting to read the cataloge from the end, to the first page,

    what is the title on the frontpage, when you wanted to leave the shop ???

    PLEASE RETURN THE CATALOGE

    this, you can read loud, w00t.gif

    cause IKEA Thailand is the only one, with this habbit.

  6. 16sqmm copper minimum for a run of 30 metres and a max demand of 63A, voltage drop 3% from metering point to the main switchboard. With a max demand of 45A one could use 10sqmm copper for 3% voltage drop. This is for a single phase connection. For a 3 phase and neutral supply the minimum size for a max demand of 45A or 63A per phase will be 10sqmm and 16sqmm copper. Cables run underground should be installed in conduit or an equivalant enclosure and be thermoplastic insulated and sheathed (PVC/PVC). If you use Aluminium conductor you will have to increase the size from 16sqmm to 25sqmm for the same ratings

    as I could see, the Gun Fai Fa is using 16 mm2 Aluminium,

    meter02.jpg

    One problem, aluminium cabel is not so expensive, but there ist no special underground aluminium cabel with the name NYY.

    Using 4 x singel aluminium cabel for underground could be a sollution, but as far as I know, aluminium is getting pretty hot, and if the cabels are very close together, there could be a problem.

    So the standart copper cabel 4 x singel cabel in 16 mm2 (100 m roll) is costing about 3.200 Bt,

    meter01.jpg

    ok, nobody would check, if 4 singel cabels would come out of the underground, and would be connected with the meter,

    don`t know, anybody did this,

    but 100 m with 4 singel 16 mm2 copper is 12.800 Bt ./. 100 m NYYY 16 mm2 is 31.000 Bt,

    ( 100 m with 4 singel 19 mm2 aluminium is about 4.600 Bt)

    as far, as I know.

    So, taking a NYYY cabel is pretty much of a deal,

    if thiefs are cutting again the new cabel at the meter,

    connecting it to their pick up,

    and doing a rip off.

  7. Assuming it is a 15/45 then you can use 120m of 4 core 25mm2 NYY with no issues whatever.

    I do wonder why it was determined that you needed 3-phase. Our new construction has a far larger load than you've detailed and we should be fine on a single phase 15/45.

    Now, I know, it is a 15/45, while the cabel, connected to the meter, is a 16 mm.

    So, it wouldn't make sense, to have anything else, than 16 mm to the house, right ?

    Today, I checked a global house Rayong, but they only had a NYY 2 x 16 mm on 100 meter, for about 17.000 Baht.

  8. Assuming you have a meter smaller than a 15/45 then there's no problem splicing properly to the existing 16mm, how much extra NYY would it need to bring it all the way to the CU?

    I think, it is a 15/45 meter, but I have to check.

    The distance between the old overhead connection point at the house and the CU is about 8 m,

    but the main problem is, it wouldn`t be easy, to exchange the cable, it could be necessary, to open the wall inside of the house,

    to bring the cable to the main breaker.

  9. 16mm2 copper or 25mm2 aluminium is the stuff for you. Your local sparks should be able to source cable and the necessary accessories.

    hello Crossy,

    I have a problem, my overhead cable (4 lines, 3 phase, 100 m) had been stolen, when I was out, a couple of days.

    When the house was build, the builder placed 16 mm2 copper, there was only the water heater, the electric cooker, water pressure and pump, as the main electric consumer.

    Now, a few years later, there are the 4 aircons, the tv and some stuff, as additional consumer.

    When planning to replace the stolen cabel, I thought about NYY 4x35 mm2 underground, based on concrete around the house, it would be 120 m.

    Does it make sense, to connect them to the 16mm2 cabel, under the roof, that is going to the CU / main breaker, or does it bring a fire risk under the roof ?

    Do you think, its a good idea, not to take the expensive NYY 4x35 mm2 underground cabel, but to take a normal 4x35 mm2 cabel, that is placed into a massive garden hose, befor bringing it into the pvc pipe ?

  10. do it in 2 steps,

    first step, look for a shop, that can produce the spare part in the same colour,

    second step, the repair.

    You won`t be happy with a repair including a big difference in colour, right ?

  11. I also really had a great time, till the first case happened.

    Ok, when the grass at your front gate isn`t cut every 3 weeks,

    and its turning into a jungel, the risk for your home will rise.

    So, IMO, its the main point, to hide the fact of your absence,

    when its a couple of months.

  12. I live in Huai Yai too but not on an estate, my house has got a perimeter wall but we dont have bars on the windows or anything like that, we have absolutely no problems at all, the area is quiet with a mix of Thai and a few Fallang and we have not heard of any breakins at all in our area. For me the biggest burgular deterant of all is a couple of big dogs we have 2 Rotties and have no security worries, if you where to spend your life in a constant state of fear or nervousness what is the point in moving here?

    after my first break in case in my home in hua yai, during a time of absence,

    I started with a better protection.

    an alarm system, that gives you sms notice, if you spend some time on koh chang,

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wireless-AUTODIAL-GSM-SMS-Home-Alarm-Security-System-II-/270687456565?pt=AU_Home_Personal_Security&hash=item3f063acd35

    at the Häfele Shop Sukumvit. I found something, like this, for one of my outside doors

  13. concerning insurance,

    there are international insurance comp., operating in Thailand,

    different conditions, with axa, you will also have coverage for the outside part of the aircon.

    If you leave your house for a couple of month, you need a company, looking for your house every 7 days.

    There is also a red box system, where the police is doing the monitoring job, but it depends on the area.

    Insurance companies in Thailand will only refund you the time value,

    there is one british company, offering insurance of refunding you the shop price,

    http://intasure.com/thailand/index.asp?introducer=200000

    but you should googel about the company.

    When you have a case, most of the insurance companies are working with the same loss adjuster in your area.

  14. check the cigarette-box, most of the thai cigarettes are produced in the Phillipines.

    Over the years, Thailand has sparred with neighboring Philippines over the fiscal treatment of cigarette imports from that country.
    In order to maintain profitability, TTM has been working to reduce production costs, distribute products more efficiently and expand related businesses.

    Despite the recent economic slowdown, multinational tobacco companies continue to invest in the Philippines. Philip Morris International is in the process of expanding its leaf tobacco storage capacity. The company wants to transform Subic Freeport, a former U.S. naval base, into a leaf distribution hub for the Asia Pacific market. Leaf from countries such as Thailand and Indonesia will be shipped for processing to PMI cigarette factories in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and other Asian countries.

    But that had a serious impact on the quality.

    The problem, they prepare the tobacco in the storage centers the Phillipines with certain chemicals,

    that they did not use on the US or european market.

    While it is no problem, to get a US Mallboro in the Hard Rock Cafe in Manila,

    it is a problem, to find them in bkk.
