Once more it shows that you are one of the veritable "keyboard warriers" here. Anyone, not agreeing with you is showered with a barrage of foul language and personal insults. I am sure you like the Internet, because by dispersing such insults in your neighborhood bar, you would leave with a bloody nose in no time at all.  But AN is tolerant, although a Forum rule states:  Quote: "Aggression, personal attacks, derogatiry comments or any form of abuse toward moderators, Admin, or this forum in general will not be tolerated and will result in strict consequences".  I keep it simple. Once the "keyboard warriers" enter the scene, I drop out of the thread.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 14:17:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>400K now needed in bank even if using 66K/month transfer method?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395784-400k-now-needed-in-bank-even-if-using-66kmonth-transfer-method/?do=findComment&comment=20531613]]></link><description>Their requirements are nonsense.

That said, lightening ground points around a building can re-direct the voltage to &#x2018;&#x2019;ground&#x2019;&#x2026;&#x2026;.I found mine completely severed at two points on the roof, so it did its job.  But I fear most Thai houses, and possibly the rest of the world do not have a good ground system in place.  When I built my house in (unspecified).   I insisted in grounding all power points, and a roof to ground on all corners - Electrician said  "No Need&#x201D; &#x201C;We don&#x2019;t do that here&#x201D;  &#x201C;Too much money, too much work" - I said if you don&#x2019;t ground all power points and install the roof to ground like I want, I&#x2019;ll find another electrician.   I wound up firing him anyway as I inspected the house wire he was using, looked a lot like speaker wire to me.  Turned out 10 years later, my roof to ground &#x201C;too much work&#x201D; worked.

An hour or so before it began the skies had opened with torrential rain in Silom &amp; elsewhere and flooding across roads &amp; in one or 2 shops I could see from on high. Fortunately the rain stopped a few minutes before the parade took off.  Not particularly wonderful, I would have to say. A bit disorganized (perhaps the earlier rain hadn't helped). A few interesting sights of particular individuals &amp; their getup, but very little that struck the eye or the memory.
