I once met a man in Hanoi who warned me about spending too much time in Thailand.

British and Dutch men arrested in Bangkok for drug trafficking
Odd how so many posters are obsessed with forced anal issues, something that doesn't happen in Thai prisons. Prisoners in Klong Prem even have to wear underwear in the supervised communal shower facilities. -

And so are the fines if you don't follow traffic rules, or other laws....That is why there are as many traffic deaths in 1 year as here in Thailand in 1 week...The police is doing their job... and no fines are disappearing in the pockets -

Whole-house Power-Backup?: Reliable solution for frequent power failures.4K to 6K watts req
Earlier this evening, I was sitting in the dark cogitating, as is my wont, due to local electrical power supply vagaries and uncertain power-outage times.... The local power consumers in my area love surprises. So, they have told the power company to cut the power, just any old time, and DO NOT TELL US in advance....Because, "We Love Surprises!". Power-supply outages occur at the rate of about one per week, during times when there is a trickle of rain falling, and often when there is only forecasted rain. As I was sitting in the dark, I thought: This is STUPID of me!!!! Why should I sit in the dark? Is there any benefit to me for engaging in this behavior? As soon as the power was restored, I logged on to my computer. I began reading about all the options. However, I just want to know what might work very well in Thailand, either with or without a solar panel connected, but having this option. The backup must be capable of providing 220 volts, and a steady 4k to 6k watts of power, and for period of two hours. a. While I might like to connect a solar panel to the battery-inverter sometime in the future, I have no plan to do so now. b. I need to be able to have more control over my life. When power outages happen at this rate, like what is happening around me locally, it's really purposeless to try to plan your life, to plan work, to plan video conferences, to meet a schedule, or to meet other's expectations, or follow-through on promises, or obligations. Pretty near IMPOSSIBLE, i would say..... It would be impossible for any logical person, in my view. c. I am trying to find a solution that I can afford, and that is cost-effective, and not buy something so expensive that the cost is not justified relative to my needs. d. Most of the garbage I buy in Thailand seems to be quite unreliable. Therefore, what would be the purpose of buying an unreliable backup-power-supply in order to protect me from a very unreliable power company supply? True IRONY. Also, I need something that most electricians can install...if possible....nothing super complex or complicated. I need to get more control over my electrically-powered life. Things like this just cannot be allowed to continue. Even now, how do I know if I can even finish this Top
