  1. I would not go without a tank. Think how much space you can free up for a tank. If you want to limit to buffering for pressure there are tanks as small as 100 or 200 liter preferably placed protected from sunlight. If you want to be able to span a longer water outage like a day you should look for 1000 liter or more.
  2. There can't be a general answer about departing. Where from? What airline? Arrival: from many reports here and first hand there seem to be close to no more checks at Suvarnabhumi. Worst case: undergo another ATK(ART) test on arrival.
  3. Soft copy? You mean a simple photograph of the test kit?
  4. Obviously. To add to the confusion some countries/organizations seem to call it ART (antigen rapid test). Not wrong but confusing. Others call it after the kit used (ATK, antigen test kit). In my last country they call Covid-19 simply "Corona" ????
  5. Surprised. Really poor. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid032kFeSnoRV7h3skT7YU7d2TcE9eXaEZKQri3LMSCHUYZuz8DoyKyAkKEcUsyb8chcl
  6. The usual scooters have a small 6 AH battery. Likely bigger in such a 160 model. But I guess it is still less an hour needed to recharge to the point where you can start. My small old charger does about 3 A at the beginning. I do not use the big car charger. Our old Honda Click still has an emergency kickstart. Need to put the bike on the center stand. But the first time I wanted to use it, it was completely stuck Needed some oil. Quite poor that forgetting to turn the key still drains the battery. How much would a simple timer cost?
  7. To the point. But an everyday experience. Is there a bus or heavy truck in oncoming convoy? Prepare for the worst, lean to the shoulder and foot over the break pedal. Buses are even worse. They make three lanes out of two.
  8. Have you invested a view to the photo? Pulling in from the side? Where the hell in this construction area. Wrong way? The truck driver would surely have claimed. This idiot was simply not willing to slow down and drive behind the (annoying) side car until the road is clear or construction area ends.
  9. To break/slow down is not an option for our kings of the road. Roadworks, solid yellow line, all don't matter. Should receive a heavy penalty. RIP to the deceased.
  10. For "high season" (if that still exists) hotels will usually expect a deposit for the room reservation.
  11. Always worth to check the hotel website. At a hotel in Pattaya : Just managed to book a room category which does not show up or shown as booked on Agoda, Booking.com or Expedia. Booking though was fairly complicated through Paypal, VISA credit card (VISA secure). A hell lot of logging in to my banking app, requesting codes bla bla... Jumping/changing through the websites on the mobile. But I could pay 2000 Baht deposit from my VISA with proper exchange rate and no fees.
  12. Case closed. He has been found in Laos! He finally contacted his family. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid0MpSiNpfqxx2kLFyxQfbqdqqs5FC2M4Em18FL9G6Tip9WibubAcih425vJ3gt5BuYl
  13. Not even knowing/able to find what model of phone one has at hand? Seriously? I am out here.
  14. I would be surprised if no high ranking Royal attends the funeral. Princess Sirindhorn was traveling in Europe over the last days (Germany, Switzerland). Maybe she will attend?
  15. Or see post above ????
  16. Since May 2021: https://aseannow.com/topic/1214662-driving-licences-new-international-permit-to-drive-can-be-used-in-84-countries-and-for-three-years/
  17. Both are accepted. 1968 has finally been added last year. It took them decades.
  18. Oops. Just woke up from this headline. Monkeypox was quite silent in the news. Was it just another panic?
  19. Hope there is a Vivo user who can tell. On Samsung the photos are opened in the gallery app by default. There is 3-dot (3 vertical dots) menu below. Click on and select Details.
  20. The video indeed does not show what happens if you click on "More" (right hand side). You should see "64MP UHD" or "High Resolution"....? Click on it? And then? Would help to know what exact model you have as one finds differing naming on the models. I once tried the "3:4 64MP" option on my Samsung and it's really not worth to play with these bulky files. They can also be stored in some format other than JPG. Not worth the headache.
  21. As I am only an occasional visitor I hesitated to answer. But sure there is no persistent flooding in Pattaya. It's a limited area in the "lowlands" of South Pattaya rd, Soi Buakhao etc. Will usually runoff till the next morning. If your condo is uphill (Soi 16 hill or the like) then there is little chance of serious flooding. Of course part of rainwater can flow to underground garages. Is there some barrier (hump)? Hard to tell without seeing the exact location.
  22. Very easy as a one day trip on the weekend (Saturday). AirAsia to Kuala Lumpur. Land border? Is there anything closer than Sadao (Songkhla province) to Malaysia? But that's for the locals.
  23. The funeral will be a security challenge like never before. US President, Israels President, Emperor of Japan, ... and so many more. "Like a 100 state visits". Just good that Putin is busy at home.
  24. Nothing since months. Even to Phuket last December nothing. To/from Khon Khaen nothing. Even the last strongholds Samui and Chiang Mai have given up checks on arrival. TO Bangkok there never was a restriction.
  25. I hope that the promised official change to endemic status from October will bring a change even to the paranoid corners of the country.
