But quite true in this case. Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia are virtually big fireplaces. CM approx. at the center of this map:

Surprise. Found a near match at HomePro on Sukhumvit. They have 5 A, 10 A and 15 A (longer cylinder). 5 A is not 4 A but I think the device would survive.

Sounds like the term "fine wire fuse" is misunderstood? Does "glass wire" hit the nail? Nothing to do with household circuit breakers.

Thx, will try after the weekend when the complete traffic collapse is over ????

The first of two fuses of a UPS has triggered (4A, the ones in the glass tube with fine wire). Supplied replacement works. But would still be better to have a spare. Anybody knows where to get in Pattaya?

Fistfight in Pattaya Leaves Australian Tourist With Head Injuries

And you have taken the effort to read the full article? I doubt it. Drunk as a skunk and -
And in the end they will all have their limits. Example: "The shop is open from 10:00 to 10:00 every day." Spoken: "the shop is open from 10'o clock to 10'o clock every day. Translation to German no better from 10 to 10. The Thai text used the traditional time of four o'clock in the evening ("si tum") which is 10 PM or 22:00h.

Agree about SayHi. Quite good. Like it better than Google translate. And as it is from the Amazon empire it is obviously not Google related. It can do voice and text input, gives original text ("understood") and translated text (Thai script) and voice output. How well the the Thai voice output is understood? I don't have sampled enough experience with that. Also haven't done much about Thai speaker to English. In addition I use a paid (German/Thai) dictionary which splits the Thai text to words and has perfect pronunciation by native Thai speaker.

If one happens to come by an AIS service center they also have self service machines to do the 20 Baht topup. And as written you have to do it in multiple 20 Baht steps.

Similar for me. But the case in the OP is different as announced for Tuesday. I sent EUR to Bangkok Bank, purpose for long stay and receive next weekday at 2:xx PM. When I send on Friday it is Monday. But as others wrote coming Monday March 6 is a public/bank holiday. I am fortunate enough that I don't drain my funds to zero, so a day or two doesn't hit me.

That's consistent with what I find on the net for my usual place. Only few categories/dates where it is booked. Plan to drive there without reservation. Just a few phone calls on the go. Before COVID I once did this end of February and had quite a stress to find a room.

Wise formerly Transferwise
KhunBENQ replied to rabiedabruce's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I use it since years for EUR to THB (Bangkok Bank). As the EUR was going steep up I just initiated a transfer. As usual I declare for long term stay and money will be in account at about 2 PM tomorrow shown as FTT (foreign transfer). Like a clockwork except that last month for the first time there was an extra one day delay which made me nervous. WISE excused for the delay and gave a me discount on fee for next transfer (about 8 EUR). If the EUR continues steep until early tomorrow morning I can cancel the transfer and start again or wait. -
There are questions where I am unsure whether the emoticon has been left out. Can't be serious.

Up to three months ahead. I was in the same situation with motorcycle license. Expiring 12 March midst in planned travel. So I extended on 18 January for another 5 years until March 2028.

A lot of nonsense about "NE". Of course it is about Isan (Isaan, ... countless transcripts). And like it or not it is often referred as the North East. Not a geography lesson. Isan is the Korat plateau. Culturally closer to Laos than to the Siamese masters/conquerors. Of course Korat is Isan, what else. An PM P is about the most hated person up here.

I just let it run on the mobile for a minute and it was fine. But as usual with such grey stuff you have nowhere to complain if it isn't good. As far as I know BBC world news is on some Thai satellite payTV package. In the past there were few occasions of blocking certain content about Thai royalty.

This headline should be dominating world news...but it's not.

Found some recent articles in German news sources about the risk of mutation so transmission from human to human might become possible. Make of it what you like. Hopefully not "COVID nextGen". A problem for animal farming is it anyway. Mass culling etc. Rising prices.
