Swastika Flags Flown During Donald Trump Boat Parade in Florida
I wish I could. I wish I could wake up one day and the whole Trump thing was just a bad dream. A dream in which a criminally mad scientist put together the most ill suited person for a leadership position imaginable. A Frankenstein of horrible traits. Dimwitted, vain, useless. And millions of people actually went for it! But alas, reality beats horrid fiction in this case. -

Luggage Fit for Travelling Around Thailand ?
For years, I have used a rucksack. About 80l capacity. This means I can walk up and down steps & have no problems with the rough pavements found in Thailand & nearby countries. The downside is it can be a bit sweaty at times. I think I'd like something which has the option of using a rucksack or wheels. The first thing I note is small wheels. Wouldn't larger wheels be preferable on Thai pavements ? Then most of the products I see are lower capacity. Note, I will typically take public transport from Suvarnabhumi to my hotel. Or from regional bus & train stations. So there is some walking with the luggage. I'm fine with that, but the luggage needs to be up to it. . -

Is this a scam at Phuket arrivals?
A few years ago, an acquaintance had a nice arrangement with an immigration officer who instead of doing visa runs stamped his passport for him. Turned out he was not allowed to use that stamp - so on a visit to immigration he was arrested and locked up for abo9uot 4 days told to stay in the country until it came to court - which took months -he was than fined and allowed to go home. If the stamps - even though correct are issued unofficially then they could be deemed invalid -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Just who are you? As one of the disruptors, I pride myself in doing a lot of research, where such research is plausible, to my contributions to this forum. That my discoveries diverge from Chiang Mai,'s -- or my personal grasp of logic diverge -- I'm sorry that this offends Chiang Mai. He's a pretty prickly customer -- as was Mike Lister before him. As such, it makes pulling their chains too tempting. So, sorry if such disrupts your concentration on the subject. But back to you.... You, in one of your posts, implied I'm often wrong, when Chiang Mai was right. I asked for amplification, but didn't get any. I'd still like to get that, but if not, I'd just be curious as to your bonafides -- education, job, tax and govt work, etc. Just want to get a feel for where you're coming from. And if you're qualified to referee a discussion on taxes. Thank you for, hopefully, taking the time to present yourself. But, if you don't, I'll understand. -

Another tripping RCCB
Just a thought from a non electrician - although I agree with Crossy that your problem is probably due to moisture............. I've known leakage on Thai sockets and light switches. Some seem to be very poorly insulated and the insulation that does exist seems to break down over time. I discovered this after getting a 'tingle' from a light switch - I went round checking all sockets and switches with a meter and a small voltage was present on quite a few - on the plastic!!! The one that gave me a 'tingle' was registering over 100 volts!!! Also, because many Thai houses don't have a separate lighting circuit, when testing for moisture, you may also need to check the light switches/fittings. It took me a while to work out how the lighting in my house is wired - a simple live taken from a socket in the room 😁. The lights seem to have their own neutral though - so that's alright then 😁. -

BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Yes it does now show percentage of charge completed which is an outstanding feature IMO. With this new feature you don't need to stop, get out of your EV, and then physically touch the charger's display to estimate when when the charging EV will reach 100%. See if you want to wait....and then charger's displaying the charging EV(s) still has a long way to go to 100%....that's always a let down. By being able to see the charging percentage completed "before" getting to the charger it allows a person to decide if they even want to stop & queue. With me my queue limit is around 10 minutes especially when taking advantage of this free BYD charging promotion....I'm not the kind of person who will queue for long unless I've got no choice. Fortunately, I've had to queue few times and for no more than 10 minutes. So far since 3 Aug when I got my 1st free bucket of electrons I've availed 32 free charging sessions worth Bt5,046 for 641 KWH of free electrons according to my ReverSharger wallet history. I'll probably be able to avail of around Bt10K of free electrons before the current promotion ends 3 Jan 2025...and I hope BYD extends it but I'm not holding my breath. All of these free sessions have been on my way to or from a location like visiting the MIL, a grocery store run, etc. No trips have been made solely to get free electrons. I've started sessions where I still had 96% charge remaining to 28% remaining. Quite a few times I've filled-up with free electrons at a charger close to my MIL's home and then on the way back to my Bangkok home about 55km away I get lucky and able to top-up again at a red pin charger about 10km from my home....then by the time I get home I'm setting at around 98%. But on the "average" from my free charging history I start the charging around 67%...basically adding one-third of a battery tank of electrons. Yeah...I've been pretty much availing myself of these free electrons whenever I can "but only" when I'm doing a routine trip like a MIL vist, groceries run, etc. Me like free electrons. And I haven't used my home wall charger since around 1 Aug. -

Those were the days; ice and snow.
Also looks like the old East Stand at Chelsea, however you can see a kink in the stand which is Molyneux. -
