Streets are awash with seamen.

No, the previous owner used the ground floor as a shop (wedding costume hire), but we've never used the house for business.

That's never going to happen, our monthly average for the last 12 months is a little over 800kWh. It's a 4 storey shophouse unit. Wife will talk to PEA about getting the meter type corrected. .

I checked the comparable rates on the PEA website https://www.pea.co.th/en/electricity-tariffs The tariff is the same for both Residential (over 150kWh per month) and Small General Service, but I'm being hit for 1.5492Bht on the fuel tax surcharge, I saw someone say if was 0.9343Bht for residential.

I've just realised our meter type is a 2125

I wouldn't disagree.

Mine arrived this morning, ouch! Last month 748kWh and Bht4,572, this month 1119kWh and Bht6,942. It's the hot time of year and we've family staying over Songkran, so to be expected.

Why the confused smilies? Over 20 years of military action have failed to put down the southern insurgency. Perhaps it's time to have a serious go at a negotiated settlement. I don't support the use of violence, but understand the reasons why a minority have resorted to it.

One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

Any intelligence would be a step up.

Self diagnosis and medicating for hypertension might not be the wisest thing to do.

The doctor who prescribed losartan for him 2 weeks ago is the one best placed to advise him, not random people on a forum, nor Dr Google.

Go see the doctor that put you on Losartan.

Local news reported 200,000 visitors to Hat Yai over Songkran, largely from Malaysia and Singapore. https://www.hatyaifocus.com/ข่าว/23951-ข่าวประชาสัมพันธ์และการท่องเที่ยว-หาดใหญ่%2B|%2Bขอบคุณนักท่องเที่ยวสองแสนกว่าคน%2Bที่มาเยี่ยม%2BHATYAI%2BMIDNIGHT%2BSONGKRAN%2B2023%2Bปีหน้าต้องมันส์กว่าปีนี้/

I'm not surprised they beat the crap out of him. You reap what you sow.

267 dead in 7 days is only 38 per day, well down on the usual daily average of 65 deaths.

You should write up your trip, would be nice to have a positive story about the deep south.

I used to like my steaks blue, but to do properly usually takes longer than to cook rare. If they don't leave the steak to warm properly before cooking you end up with something that's unpleasantly cold in the middle.

Lazada's Lex delivered a package for me today.

Nor am I, I'm not a seismologist, but I am a geologist.

That's an epicentre way way down on the descending plate, it won't be causing any damage let alone a tsunami.
