I don't see that mentioned anywhere. Either way sounds like a typical uneducated psycho serial rental girlfriend, addicted to drama and negativity and crazy all around. My first girlfriend in Thailand was like this - I got out when she started grabbing sharp objects during fights she caused for no apparent reason (genuinely schizophrenic and heard voices). She also attempted to jump off the balcony a couple of times (which I stopped). Her logic was that if she jumps police will blame me. So yeah I ran far away and broke up with her over the phone while I was safely abroad.</description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:43:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>British Man Arrested After Disturbance in Phuket</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396020-british-man-arrested-after-disturbance-in-phuket/?do=findComment&comment=20536097]]></link><description>Please, don't come to Thailand if you can't behave.</description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:42:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Electric Vehicles in Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20536096]]></link><description>While I'm here with friends, just a note on SPD or MOV's. I have fused SPD on the PV panels and 3 phase into the house, but overlooked SPD on the feed into the ATS.  The other night had some close lightning strikes which caused strange inverter problems (battery rapid discharge spike about every 5 hours and the house exporting to the grid) seems like the lightning strike took out my CTs in the ATS, when I changed the program from 'export to CTs' to 'export to load' problem cleared (after system reset). Don't forget the SPD on the input to the ATS as the ATS phase protector can't handle very quick power surges. As always this is my take and I could be talking rubbish again. :)</description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:41:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Was I wrongly fined for late 90 day report?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395956-was-i-wrongly-fined-for-late-90-day-report/?do=findComment&comment=20536095]]></link><description>3 - 28 Feb = 25 days, 1 - 31 March = 31 days, 1 - 30 April = 30 days, 1 - 4 May = 4 days.
