This happens a lot to you.. What are you doing that upsets transformers that much??
Flying his kite?

It seems to happen a lot here, I can't remember ever seeing or hearing of one going back home (but I'm sure they did, just that I wasn't aware). Is there a reason for them going so often?
It's easy to assume poor quality of materials or workmanship, but they seem to go often enough to be very a very expensive part of the supply company meaning quality of both would be a little better regulated.
It's just the fuse blowing

Everywhere you go, that's a bit higher than the city, seems to be growing strawberries now. Or at least trying to. Personally, I prefer passion fruit, which are natural for this climate (the hills at least).

Tonight?
Yes I know .... but when will we get any wet? 555
The rubber hardens with age. Might have tread, but zero grip when wet.
Hi Rob advise you check the walls and valves on the Bridgestone's,I had mine on for a few yearsSo you have 2 ProAuto stickers already?
I must get a couple of new tyres soon and I know from Chiangmai 101 their new Michelins were an excellent price.
2 of the Bridgestones on my DMax still have ample tread depth after 8 years and 90,000km's. Can't complain about that!
tread still very good, so I thought OK, till one day I was blowing the tyres up and the whole valve
just snapped off,it was perished with the sun.good job it was parked when it happened.

Hi all
I was planning to go to Promenada immigration office, but I just tried my 90 days notification online ( Windows 8 / IE )
Within a few minutes, I received an email telling me it was approved... I also printed it easily from Chrome, together with the receipt of notification giving me the next date.
Is that it ? I can't believe it is that simple...

Yes, that's it. Now, one has to ask why folk doing it in person need to supply photocopies

Great idea and far better than say....B Quick repairs!

If the worst comes to the worst and you are not home when your EMS/REG reply comes you get a notification card and pick it up at the PO you sent it from.No big deal.
Surely a better option than a trip to Promenda and hanging around a soul less mall for hours.Online does not work for me
Try again, next time. Works for me now, after several failed attempts. Nothing's changed on my end of the deal

When I've used registered from saraphi PO, they put a 10baht stamp on the return envelope & it comes back registered. No tracking number for me, but the fact that it's registered is reassuring.

Just managed my second online-report, it took me a few tries with IE on Windows-7, with the drop-down support being very slow to work, but was approved within a couple-of-hours & then the battle to print it out, on my elderly laptop !
Apropos of not much, does anyone know, why do they call it "CHINGMAI" on their system ? I never saw that spelling of it before !
Recognition of the massive influx of new visitors perhaps?
I thought they were using hellodolly's spelling
-
Finally got the online reporting to work for me. Used Internet Explorer with Windows 10. Never worked for me before.

Thanks all..
Anyone with experience or stories about complete loss...?
Can you insure for a fixed sum for complete loss....
Repairs I can manage myself....I just want to be protected if, heaven forbid, the whole thing was lost...
Mine gives a lump sum for complete loss. Never had to make a claim...
QBE office is on east side of moat, next to DK Books, across moat from Mad Dog.

My QBE house insurance is less than 7500 bt. Remember the insured value is for the house, not the land
Upstairs being wood, might influence fire insurance..

I had a visit from BIB last night. Warned to close Monday... in the most friendly manner.
Were they carrying assault rifles?

Hmm, does Ian drive a 6 wheel car?

Do tell and put us all out of our misery.
???? He wanted to pay 20 baht, but only had a 50 baht note, so he paid with that - and then he expected to get 30 baht in change but got nothing instead. I think you messed up on this one, Chiang Mai.
Read post #54
OK, now I have read post #54. So what? Are you implying that OP is driving a bus or a big truck or a 6-wheel car, but is unaware of it himself? Yes, that must be it. It makes perfect sense.
Nevermind....

Thanks for the heads-up from the OP.
I always carry a few B10-coins in my car, to pay at the airport or Kad-Suan-Kaew, for parking.
If paying with a B1,000-note, for example at the petrol-station, I always say "nung pan baht" as I hand the note over, it seems to work.
At most proper shops like 7-11, Tesco etc the cashier always acknowledges 1000bt given.
Oh no they don`t.
I`ve had s**t tried on me several times at 7/11s, Tesco Lotus, Big C, petrol stations and MacDonalds. Handed over a 1000 baht note for items costing 100 baht up to 200 baht. Cashier counts the change out in 100 baht notes and a few loose coins, no 500 baht note in the change, throws the bundle of 100 baht notes with some coins into my hand and rushes off quick. Check my change and it`s 100 baht short. This has happened to me on several occasions and I`ve caught onto this now. I don`t trust any of these lying, cheating busters and always on the alert at these places.
Well, they do with me. I assume that's how they've been taught. Maybe I look particularly threatening when i hand the 1000 note over

I wonder just how safe those terrorist feel not knowing how many westerners here are former military themselves and if they are armed as well? Scary huh?
I'm sorry, but retired SAS, like myself, don't need firearms to take on terrorists
