How to use aircon to keep the air dry?
In Dry mode, on some but not all machines, the compressor will turn on and off at set times, perhaps once every couple of minutes or so, and then will turn off, and repeat. But, on an inverter machine, the compressor will probably just run more slowly, periodically, and the temperature will decrease accordingly. With the Panasonic model that I have, the machine will maintain the set temperature...set on the remote. Some Dry setting on some machines are more effective than others. Alternatively, if one can, try using a dehumidifier and the AC simultaneously. But I do not have a dehumidifier. And, I still like to use my space heater solution simultaneously with my AC running. This works the best for me. Also, a lot less noisy than using a dehumidifier in the room. And, all condensed water goes outdoors, and not into a pan or something. But you guys do what seems right for you.... -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
That is not the issue. Why should some get index linked pensions and others don't. The first recipricol agreement created 2 classes of overseas pensioners, those that can and those that can't. Every MP however will stand up and claim discriination is unacceptable. Brexit brought the agreement with the EU to an end but the goverment changed the law to prevent the backlash from those in the EU. In 2019 the labour party gave there backing to the APPG recommendations and it was included in their 2019 manifesto, Page 76 for reference. As soon as they got a sniff of power there was a sudden U turn. -

Minister Pushes for Bangkok F1 Race Plan with 2024 Deadline
The concept or Buriram is great, stadium and track, but the hotels can’t accommodate all visiting fans for domestic football games, even the finest hotel in the city probably wouldn’t meet the expected standards. I know nothing of GP but I gather the circuit is fine for bikes but not much else. -

Most comes from the Top End. It's good beef, but can't match the meat in Gippsland, which we keep for ourselves. -

Thailand Ranks 28th Among the World's Best Countries
Those rose coloured glasses are working overtime for you. What a shock your going to get when you wake up and they clear. Thailand stopped being a paradise over 20 years ago. -

Minister Pushes for Bangkok F1 Race Plan with 2024 Deadline
Motor racing is popular in Thailand and a GP here would attract great support. The problem, though, is both the cost of setting up such an event. and the tough rules and regulations which have to be applied. A street circuit would help to reduce the cost issue, but it would mean chaos for at least a month in the pre and post work, and F1 really doesn't need another street circuit. Buri Ram is a conventional circuit, and just about works for Moto GP, but it would need a huge amount of upgrading to qualify for F1. All in all a nice idea but not practical in my opinion. -

Corruption scandal hits the brakes: Thailand’s bus industry whistleblows dirty dealings
A shocking revelation has swept through the coach bus industry of Thailand as several anonymous companies have blown the whistle on rampant corruption within the Land Transport Department‘s vehicle inspection process. A sneaky bribe of 3,000 to 4,000 baht is all it takes to fast-track an inspection, making life suspiciously easy for some. This disgraceful practice was put under the spotlight following the recent bus blaze tragedy that claimed the lives of 23 children and teachers. The vehicle involved was discovered to have illegally installed gas tanks. Out of 10 NGV gas tanks on the coach, only six were there legitimately. This scandal has raised alarming questions about the integrity of public transport vehicle inspections across the country. Furthermore, some of the gas tanks were installed inside the bus, increasing the risk to both the driver and passengers in the event of a gas leak. In addition, police investigations into other buses from the same company revealed that every vehicle had more gas tanks installed than the approved number. Channel 3 conducted interviews with multiple coach bus companies regarding the vehicle inspection process. Some stated that the inspection was carried out thoroughly as part of vehicle registration renewal and tax payment, which is required every six months. The inspection period usually runs from January to June each year. These companies confirmed that bus operators couldn’t pay bribes to authorities to expedite the registration renewal process. However, according to media reports, some bus companies admitted to paying officials 3,000 to 4,000 baht or more for a quicker inspection. They explained that long queues formed between January and June, as officials were only able to inspect 10 vehicles per day and were unavailable on weekends and public holidays. Pay extra The bus companies also stated that the queues were even longer in areas like Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, and Chon Buri, where many buses are registered. While waiting in the inspection queue, buses would not have valid registration plates and were unable to operate, causing companies to lose significant income during this period. As a result, some companies chose to pay extra to the relevant officials to speed up their inspection process. Paying 3,000 to 4,000 baht would hasten the process slightly while paying more would be considered as VIP treatment. VIP companies could have their inspections conducted immediately after payment. Some bus companies felt they had no choice but to pay to continue providing services to passengers. As of now, no relevant officials have come forward to verify the information shared in the media.

Huge markup on imported foods. Why?
British cuisine is nothing to get excited about. The way you treat cabbage seems to consist of boiling it until it is gray. As for the Scots, how they consider haggis to be remotely edible is beyond my comprehension. Actually, there is an Australian cuisine - pavlovas, lamingtons, vanilla slices and real beef pies. We keep the best for ourselves. You've probably never tasted garlic yabbies either. Why should we be ashamed of ourselves? Australian debt as a percentage of GDP is 59%, yours is 85%. How can you be deadbeats, after looting the colonies for so long? -

How to use aircon to keep the air dry?
Yes. But I do not drive an internal combustion engine machine. So, I am being good to the Panet. And, if you want to dry the air quickly, and block out the outdoor noise, and have the indoor temp that you choose...then....my methodology NEVER FAILS. The OP asked for what would work, failure proof, and my method works. Actually, my method will not use that much more electric power if you just keep the space heater at 300 Watts, and then turn the AC thermostat to 25 degrees C, or maybe 23 degrees C would be best for drying the air out quickly. No charge for my great advice, of course....- 1
