I'm looking for specialized dimmers which are used in home automation setups.

Any info on an electrical/lightings shop in jomtien/pattaya which might carry such items?

The staff at the home-depot style megashops were clueless about what I was after

Cheers

Tesco & Bigc seem to only carry the sweetened prepacked cranberries which are bombarded with sugars.

Any suggeations where I can get raw cranberries (that, withour sugars added)?

Cheers

Tnx.

 

I have enquired in one of the big home depot-style mega shops here but the staff said they've never heard of wireless dimmers.

 

Cheers

Any shops in pattaya/jomtien which carry these wireless wall mounted dimmers (master+slave)?

Cheers

Tnx RichCor, this clarifies quite a bit the master/slave setup.

 

Are the wireless master/slave dimmer wall-mounted units available in Thailand?

 

Cheers

 

 

 

Tnx, but again which dimmer will actuallt determine the lights state?

Say the master dimmer unit is on setting 1 while I'm using a slave dimmer unit and setting it to setting 2. Which setting prevails?

Mates, tnx for the replies.

Does this mean I need to carry around the remote control unit? This kind of negates the purpose of multiple switches.

Isnt it possible to have wall mounted units at each location?

Also with the remote unit, do I need one remote per dimmer (say one for lights A and another for lights B)?

Cheers

I have two sets of lights ("A" and "B" which I would like to control from two different locations in the condo. In each location there should be for each set an on/off switch + a dimmer:

 

Since there are two sets of controls per set of lights, how do I select which set of switches is the "master", that is, determines the actual light strength?

 

If I'm sitting at Location 1 I want the controls there ( switch + dimmer ) to be the master. Likewise when I'm at location 2.

 

I tried explaining what I want to a Thai electrician but he kept saying this isnt viable.

 

Would appreciate suggestions.

 

Cheers

 

Why is anyone surprised.

There is a reason that the cash (bill) exchange rate is lower than the TT rate and it is because the world has gone digital and anything that requires handling is going to incur higher charges, whether it be currency bills or Travelers checks

The issue isnt with higher processing fees (if at all), but with the 460% increase. Surely processing costs havent quadrapuled during the last 12 months.

That was my guess too. It seems like a fee-matching process, eliminating "loopholes" which allow tourist a cheaper exchange

Need to visit the city centre. Are there shuttle minibuses which would pickup from the hotel & head there?

Not keen on usi g the bus from north pattaya bus station or paying 1k for a taxi.

Cheers

Wanted to exchange travellers cheques today & was amazed to see the fee has been increased from 33baht to 153 baht, a mere 460% hike.

Amazing.

Any way of getting it w/o a work permit?

Cheers

Vent directly to outside with insect screens.

Open all doors a little for airflow.

Tnx, u mean installing a pipe which above the living the room ceiling up to the balcony?

Hi

My condo shower room has no outside window, so it quickly gets hot & steamy in there.

I'm thinking of installing a vent to push the steam outside, but where should it be directed to?

The layout of the condo is as follows:

Option 1: direct the steam back into the condo(kitchen area/living area): this seems like a bad option

Option 2: ask the builder to install a pipe to the outside cavity which houses the water & electricity meters. possibly lots of dusts or insects entering?

Option 3: run a pipe from shower room above the ceiling in the living room to the balcony. that's probably 4m in length. not sure if the vent will be effective in pushing the hot air all that way.

Would appreciate suggestions what's the best solution.

Cheers

Scorpion Doors near the corner of 3rd Rd and Klang have some quite good ones in many styles. They are metal security doors so you have the added benefit of proper locks etc. http://scorpiondoors.com

I dont think your door is necessarily hollow as my solid wood door also lets in the noise of people passing on occasions. I'm towards the far end of the corridor and it's very rare so I've never bothered actually changing the door. I just put some draft excluding foam from a DIY store around the frame and that was good enough.

Tnx.

Could you please post a photo of how it looks like? so you've basically glued foam around the door frame?

Is it possible to buy the mentioned rubber seal as an add-on to an existing door?

Cheers

The condo has a wooden door, but I'm guessing it hollow since whenever someone walks in the hallway outside its clearly audible inside the unit.

Any suggestions for suppliers/shops (Jomtien or Pattaya) which offer condo front doors with good noise insulation?.

Cheers

I'd appreciate suggestions on a reputable lawyer who can handle a real-estate transaction.

Would be a plus if he doesnt offer 'special' rates for farangs.

Cheers

They have got some good deals in the "extended" moving sale. I bought a big leather L shape sofa 50% off. Our new neighbor completely furnished his house for nearly half his budget.

They seem to just keep bringing more stuff in every day, either from other shops or a warehouse.

So is the "old" store (across suk. road) still open? I thought it was closed down

Has the new branch opened already?

I passed by around a month ago & it seems it's still under renovation.

Cheers

Bump

Hi

Is their shop still at Lotus north pattaya?
