sometime

I'm tying to dismantle an external USB housing (Seagate) to upgrade the HDD inside, the unit is held together with Pinhead (anti-tamper) TORX security screws.

Any suggestions (in Pattaya if possible) of somewhere that would sell them?

I have tried the Amorn (?) shop in the basement of Tukcom on South Pattaya Road but didn't see them on display, tried asking but without a printed picture to refer to, my assistant was unable to assist.

Some pictures:

Nice site naming some of the security screws in use.

Any suggestions on how to keep snakes from a garden? Got 2 small dogs that are really inquisitive.Its ok to keep an eye on them but if they see a snake,im concerned incase they get bit.Is it possible to buy antivenom from a vet to keep at home? and also are there any snake repellents available?I want my dogs to enjoy the garden safely without the worry of the worst happening.

We have a shop in pattaya called True value on the shelves they have products that you spray to keep snakes off your property, I think it comes from Australia.

not knowing your location I don't know if there is a True value depot near to were you live.

Just tried Google and its called SNAKE AWAY

I am posting this for my friend who due to his computer problem cannot connect to the internet, I am hoping that you guy's here can help

This is my friends situation..

When he boots his computer up , he only gets a black screen showing ( see photo ) sorry about quality

he has tried to follow the on screen advice ( press F2 to run set up ) but pressing F2 or any other F key has no affect at all,

down at the Right hand side of the screen is shown I think an error message ... 0078

he has no external USB Thumb drives connected

So he stuck like this at the moment, ... can any one please advise what to do next

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply.

I had the same problem, was advised to take out the RAM and give them a polish with a rubber eraser, it did the job for me

I am looking for a general purpose weed killer, systemic if possible, in the UK I would use Roundup,

I have looked around the shelves in Home-Pro/ Home Works etc in Pattaya ,but I don’t think the staff know very much about chemicals.

If anyone could post a picture of what I am looking for, and where to obtain it from, it would be a great help.

Thanks

The pound is now 1 GBP = 48.5722885 THB

Around eight months ago I read on the internet that the GBP will drop to 40 baht to the pound, at the time I thought no way, I just wish that I could find the site that i read it on.

In the photo is a sink u bend/trap, unless you have at least 40cm under the shower base (unlikely) for a shower you need a shower p trap its low profile.

Is your shower base a raised acrylic type or tiled concrete, if it is tiled concrete you will have to dig up the shower base unless you fit it outside just before it enters the septic tank. BUT ALL TRAPS MUST BE ACCESSIBLE FOR CLEANING

picture 1 is for acrylic base

piture 2 ideal for tiled concrete as it can be cleaned out from the top

I take it that you live in a house and not a condo

Crossy beat me to it, Thai builders don't normally use anything unless asked hence the smell in most properties

We bought a shrub/ tree last year, now it’s full of flowers but we have now idea of what it is, the flowers are globe shaped and around 6cm dia and very soft to the touch, anyone got any ideas, Thanks

Iam looking for some good advice,no invest in bars etc etc, Iam looking at investing 100k sterling but really not sure where.Iam not looking at super human returns,just a nice 6 or 7 % guarenteed would be fine.If more is possible then great.

Any serious advice much appreciated.

EPG.

Well I am happy and still getting above 7% take a look at their website http://www.centurionfundmanagers.com/defin...und-profile.php

I was wondering about cutting them up and using as mulch, thus putting the nutrients back into the ground around the plants. Seems like a lot of effort even with her razor-sharp machete thing.

Match it is

Imagine if every house in Thailand decided to put a match to all their rubbish on the same day, It almost seems that way now, not a day goes’ by without the fragments from all the surrounding fires landing in the pool, not to mention the acrid smell all day long.

Doesn’t anyone care about the neighbors when they decide to just burn the rubbish just because it seems easiest thing to do.

I am quite easy going, but it pisses me off

Here’s a nice little program download, Secunia personal software inspecter.

It lets you now when your software is end of life / what patches are missing / what MS update are needed.

When I download various updates, including Microsoft the dialogue boxes are in Thai, even though I ticked the English box, How can I change them to give me instructions in English.

Thanks in advance.

Has anybody used the digital form of the TM47 as found on Pattaya immigration website?

http://www.pattaya-immigration.org/dform/form_tm47.php

It seems like you just have to fill it out and click on send.

Does this suffice? What about the proof of residence they now require (utility bill, or condo house book)?

Immigration has the habit of sometimes making things look like verything is OK and done properly. only to later on fine you for not doing the procedure in person

How are you suppose to put your signature on an online form

I used to be with AIS 12call, the top up was 10 baht a day to keep it going “a right pain in the ass “ as I rarely use the phone, in the end I had 3000 baht credit , and still had to put 300 baht a month credit on to keep it going,

So I changed to DTAC SIMPLE SIM, it cost 39 baht, when you activate it gives you 90 days, then on your first top “up even 50 baht” it extends you validity to one year

Pools or any water is a like a magnet to children, the safest thing is teach them to swim from a very early age, I have been amazed at some toddlers who can just about walk, but who are so confident in the water.

If you want to swim in the pool in the picture you are going to have to spend a fortune, it actually looks more like a tank for breeding fish.

Naam is correct 350 baht max I bought one last week.

You can buy larger refill bottles 1000cc for 200 baht, from pool warehouse Theprasit Road Pattaya, ok for the chlorine, but the refill for PH is never the same colour as the original

This is good to know. Thanks.

I know of at least 6 pool shops in Pattaya that sell them from 650 baht, so someone is really on the make.

It's a bit like the 50 Kg bags of salt if you a re using a saltwater chlorinator. I k now of two places in Pattaya less than 1 Km apart. one sells them for 500 baht a bag and the other chrges 200.

I just bought a bag of salt from pool warehouse, cost was 450 baht, PLEASE tell where is the shop that sells for 200 baht.

What we need is a topic called “where to buy the cheapest & best value pool accessories”

Anyone know where I can buy a salt test meter.

Because my water well has a very low ph ( 4.8 ) i have to get an chemical injection system.

After this i can remove the iron so i can use the water for my house and garden.

Does anybody know where to get an chemical feed pump with solution tank and sodium carbonate.

I'm planning to use the sodium carbobate ( soda ash ) to raise the ph back to +/- 7.5 and then an filter to remove the iron before it is going to the holding tank.

Call in and have a talk, or email the boss man in Lomatec, it is located on Thepprasit road. http://www.lomatec.com

Don’t know if there are any Nissan Navara owners on here or even if that model is sold in Thailand, but there was a segment on the UK Watchdog program the other day about a major engine fault.

Seems that the big end bearing that is the bearing that connects the con rod to the crankshaft has a habit of failing and smashing through the engine casing.

Seems quite a few customers in the UK have had this happen but Nissan have been reluctant to admit to any fault in their engines.

This only applies to the Navara D22 Pickup. Hopefully this model is not sold here so this posting is just a waste of time.

BBC Watchdog

The Navara sold here is the D40 ,check out this website for info on the Navara, http://www.nissan-navara.net

I need to get my(so called) 5 septic tanks emptied , just found out that there is no run off to a soak away, they are just holding tanks, 7 concrete rings deep sealed with cement, so that’s my next job.

What I need is “I want my septic tanks pumping out in Thai writing", so when I go to the local government offices can just show them, and I don’t have to spend hours explaining, or even phonetic.

I would ask my neighbor but they are away,

Is this the norm in Thailand just holding tanks?, I know the house next door has a soak away.

Any ideas regarding decent soak aways would be helpful.

Thanks very much, Im amazed that something that is to do with swimming pools is such a reasonable price !

Naam must have bought his either a long time ago or he is confusing it with the wholesale price he pays.

You'll be lucky to get one for under 600 baht and in Phucket and Pattaya the ROP is often 800.

Just a quick question.

When a salt chlorinator makes chlorine and then the spent chlorine reverts back to salt, the only chlorine in the pool should be free chlorine?

So is the need to test for total & free chlorine is inappropriate?. True or false

Hi guys

building has just started and we are thinking ahead to the finer details!

We will have 3 doors that I would like to be fully opening - something like these that open almost

the full widthe of the room

The problem is with the screens. I would like the to be able to open fully (ie the with of the doors)

wich is almost the width of the room. But wifey wants sliding.

Is it possible to make a screen that slides (50%) for ease of use - but that can also fold back (100%)?

The other thought I had was a sliding 'roller' screen, like a roller blind but vertical

with some aide to rigidity and tracks so it doesn't collapse

. . . . any suggestions?

Hi.

I had problems with fully opening sub-standard fly screens, until Euro PVC Windows Pattaya, organized a Bangkok company to fit mine, absolutely fantastic quality. the company might have branches throughout Thailand.

The base is like a caterpillar track.

Possible to get an English version of the new Jazz manual in Thailand or would I be better off getting one in the UK?

Try this site for a pdf download http://pdftown.com/Honda-Jazz-Fit-Service-Manual.html

have you tried the main dealer, when you purchase a new car they usually supply one if asked for.

True value is where in Pattaya?
