my teeraks dad used to have a "drive in" thai style movie theatre business that he travelled around thailand with...........it fell into disuse when tv and video became widespread in the outlying villages.........he used to set up a big white screen in the villages and project reel to reel thai movies onto it..........i had a look at the gear today gathering dust in the shed and by the look of the dials and style of the equipment it looks to date back to the 1940s or possibly earlier..he also has many old movies on reel to reel..........i would like to know if there is a collectors market for this type of stuff and what it could be worth ,if anything.............if anybodys interested i will take some pics of the stuff and post it on thaivisa.............thanks.

personally i wasnt impressed with the english breakfast

does anybody know how i can change the date on my emirates ticket back to the uk?........is there a CM office or would i have to do it online?

u need

copy of passport and produce passport

copy of letter from immigration and original

letter from landlord or condo contract..or house book if u live with a thai wife in your own place

photocopy of visa stamp and arrivals card

Just west of Mae Ping hotel, north side, is a shop with a large helmet selection out front. They carry Scoyco brand, made in China, jackets. Good selection under 3000THB. Very happy with mine. Also have a wide selection of gloves and leg protection. There is a catalog you can select from and they seem to have all in stock and have XL sizes.

been down there today and purchased a nice light weight jacket and trousers with the protection in the elbows and knees etc....a pair of gloves and a cargo bungee net for luggage...........all for 4500 baht

just to clarify the directions if anybody wants to visit the shop..............drive past Panthip plaza (on your right) with the night bazzar on your left until u come to the lights...........turn right and the shop is approx 100 metres on the right hand side

thanks Dave GTR.............looks like i will be taking a trip to Myanmar very soon

the main dealers seem to be charging an arm and a leg (no pun intended) for branded motorcycle clothing....... can anybody recommend a place thats sells reasonably priced thai made gear in Chiang Mai

i need to buy a jacket ..gloves and a rainsuit....................thanks

just a point of interest.............the safe t cut box with the 6 mcbs was priced at 4200 baht in Homepro in CM.............i found the same box and had a choice of fuse sizes to go in it for 2800 baht in a small electrical shop near the moat..........its definitely worth avoiding purchasing anything at homepro if u can find it elsewhere

special thanks to Lopburi and Powderpuff and also to other contributors.....i have the information i need now to get the job done

just to add..............the house has no air con..........no electric oven or shower

they have washing machine..microwave....fridge....fans...computer...tvs

Yes the home service should be changed to 15 amp meter (which is normally set to feed main breaker at 62 amps).

the supply is being uprated to 15 amp..............today i went into homepro in chiang mai and was confronted with 2 choices

the simpler looking of the 2 boxes...(special c) in pic is rated at 63 amps and costs 3684 baht

the other box looks more like whats required with 6 MCBs in the box.............32A x2...........20A x 2...........16A.............10A................even if a few need changing they are only 110 baht each

the box is supplied in 32A.......45A...........50A.........63A..............unfortunately homepro only have it in the 50A........( 4250 baht).

should i try to get a 63A version of this box?.............or will the 50A be sufficient.................or just get the cheaper box?

there is a thai "electrician" doing the work but he wants to fit a secondhand box but i prefer to buy a new one

thanks again for any advice........the DIY forum is excellent

the thai electrician has removed the contraption with the red starter switch which has cured the electric cutting out 5555555....but i doubt its very safe at the moment so ive told the family to be vigilant and careful until the safe t cut box gets fitted

my tilacs has a problem at her mum and dads house............the fuse box keeps tripping out when using the washing machine.........it seems to happen more at night time than during the day.......

the fusebox in the pic seems to have a rating of 25 A but the electrician says the problem is because the house only has a 5 amp supply from the power company and they need to pay 700 baht to get it uprated to 15 amps

here is a link to a previous thread i did when the machine was bought and fitted..........they have been washing clothes even though the box can trip out 2 or 3 times during the wash cycle............it also happens if the new microwave and electric kettle are used at the same time

http://www.thaivisa....ashing-machine/

is what the electrician saying about upgrading the supply to 15A correct?

i realise the starter and fuse box need replacing as they are 30 years old...........she tells me that a couple of years ago she paid to have all the wiring and plug sockets in the house renewed back to the fuse box at a cost of 10,000 baht.............what would be the cost of fitting a modern safe t cut device, something like in the pic

sorry i cant give more info.............any help gratefully received.....thanks

Yamaha Mio is one of the smallest automatic scooters i have seen,anyone could drive one

what are u looking for?......a round of applause?.................

yes i am planning on taking it to a bike shop but i thought i would ask for some input on here before opening my wallet to the local shop

nouvo MX approx 4 years old............has 15 k on the clock but no way of telling if thats true .........engine is a little noisy but recently when it gets up to 80kmph and over there is this mettalic rasping/grating noise from the engine.........its fine below this speed and the bike has plenty of power and doesnt smoke at all.............it had no service history when i bought it a few months ago but i did get it serviced oil change... air filter ..plug

could this be a warning that the rubber belt needs changing?...............any input welcome......thanks

the title of the post should read engine problem 555555555......cant see how to correct the title

i recently bought my tilac a netbook for her birthday and as she is new to the computer world i would like some info on which websites thais like to visit...she likes youtube but i am particularily looking for thai language websites for her..........any info much appreciated

many hanks for your input guys

i live in CM and may possibly be buying a bike from another farang in different province of thailand.............he is coming to CM to visit on the motorcycle and if i like the bike would be happy to purchase it from him........

can i take him and the bike to CM driving centre and get the greenbook and bike checked out and swop the name on the greenbook to mine ........or would it have to be done in the province that he lives where the bike is registered

what documents would he need to produce to sell it to me

what would i need to produce to get it put in my name

thanks

Bump...........anybody have any info to add to this topic as i am looking for a ring at the moment......thanks

20,000 a month plus u pay for everything?............shes a lucky lady

I was thinking of buying one as i liked the style of it........i hired one for a test drive but knew in the first 200 metres that it wasnt for me

the wheels are too small and it didnt feel very stable

steering column and handlebar position feels too low for me as an average size farang

it only has the monoshock suspension on the rear which in my opinion is just to save money

overall build quality is not up to the yamaha and honda bikes

i am a biker of 30 years experience and weighed up carefully the pros and cons before purchasing my scooter

there are only two choices in my opinion and that is the honda airblade or the yamaha nouvo

i suggest u hire both for a couple of days and then decide between the two

i went for the nouvo because it has bigger wheels making it more stable with excellent handling..it also has 2 shocks on the back like a proper m/c.....its a quick machine for its size.......good build quality........several yamaha dealers in CM where i am based

i have a condo near the airport plaza, it has no washing machine but has a decent sized balcony to dry clothes and i am also in possesion of an electric iron,.........so i would like to know if there are any coin operated washing machines in the vicinity........maybe this thread could list launderettes/bagwash places anywhere in chiang mai that have decent clean servicable washing machines...........if u know of any please list.........thanks

a friend of my thai lady is looking for a room/condo (maximum 3000 baht a month) in the airport plaza area or as near as her finances dictate ,and i have been cajoled into posting this to see if we can get any suggestions........thanks in advance
