    I know some members on here report that E20 works very well for them both in power and mileage. For my car, even though it says E20 on the petrol cap, it's underpowered and uneconomical. With a fuel tank of 35l I want to get the best mileage from the tank, within reason.

     

    91 is my go to fuel but I usually fill the tank with 95 once a month because I feel my car prefers it. I find it quite amazing that Thailand only has RON 95 V-Power as when I searched the net I thought it was meant to be 98. 

    And they cook the books on the ron, they use some inaccurate calculation so the fuel is less than stated and bad compared to Malaysia

    Smoking:  Probably the most disgusting legal addiction in the world. 

    Tobacco kills an estimated 8 million people in the world each year and puts a tremendous drain on our health care systems.

    It should be banned permanently worldwide for the betterment of the health of our society.

    Whilst I agree with you as a life long smoker stopped 7 years ago and now realize how filthy and smelly it is, people have the right to choose but not do this in public

    Pa Paew said it made her very sad. Couldn't they have just let the dog die a natural death, or if they couldn't take it home they could have just left it here, she lamented.

     

    Un <deleted> believable. It seems to be clear that the dog was cared for ( carried in a white cloth) and was in pain. Getting a vet here to put down a dog is impossible even if the animal is in immense pain.

    It's heartbreaking that they had to do this but I feel it was done with love.

    Not true they will do it but not advertise it

     

  5. The question as to whether it is any good should really be preceded by asking yourself: Do you really need it?

    For a correctly maintained pool, all that is needed is a simple chlorine and ph test kit. There is a point at which the problems of even most troublesome pool will be resolved, setting the formula for on-going care.

    Generally, only constructors, expert trouble-shooters, or people offering a regular weekly pool service would need any of the the equipment mentioned here. You may find it more economical to ask a special to visit your pool to take stock of the water quality and any related problems, and follow his advice for the future.

    You may also find that if these testers are not marketed in Thailand, you will be constantly in need of obtaining the test sticks or swabs. The bottom line is that for a normal consumer with a domestic pool, they are not really much of an advantage over the 350 baht plastic test tube system with their graded colour scales and the dropper bottles for the test fluids - it doesn't have to be done every day.

    I'm a bit of a gadget man and like to know the in's and out's of things. I have a cheap 350 baht tester and I'm sure it works fine but I also like to go the little bit extra to make sure. I'm also not to concerned about price of things.

    Getting replacement consumables, strips etc for non-thai equipment is no problem either as there are always friends and family coming out here for a holiday.

    I'm not 100% confident in my pool guy, (he uses the same kind of tester as myself) and doesn't use it properly as per the instructions. i.e. taking the water sample from a depth of, blah blah, not near return water outlets and I'm sure he doesn't keep it in a cool dark place when not in use. (If I was around all the time then I wouldn't have a pool guy, I'd do it all myself).

    Anyway, just interested in new 'toys' and technology and getting accurate results etc.

    I like the look of the tester above posted by cdnvic. Can you get it in Thailand? If so I'd be interested. :)

    I have been trying to fid this stuff, there is a pool shop in puket but it is expensive and basic. I am getting a friend to bring over some from the US for me. one is a remote sensor and continously monitors PH and clorine to a small screen in the house it also tells you what chemicals are required and how much to add. http://www.lesliespool.com/browse/Home/Pool-Chemicals/Water-Testing/Electronic-Testers/D/30000/P/1:100:1000:4000:400020?viewall=true
