This is an interesting read if you are wondering about the process of entry into Thailand. The experience of a well known Expat going through quarantine at the moment. IMHO the food looks like cr#p but there is some reasonable advice. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1188845-quarantine-tales-1-thaiv...

Apologies to the Irish:- Paddy had grown depressed with the world . . . . All its Covid-19 restrictions, Chinese aggression, Global Warming, Trump's campaign, lying politicians and all the rest of the negative news that fills our media. Paddy drove his car into his garage and sealed every door and w...

BTW Bandung do you still think my floating voltage problem and some shocks off appliances and off the water fixtures in the shower are from PEA not properly installing or grounding the new setup?? Is there any remedy I can take at the house. The PEA team that did the installation was from out of to...

That's your step down transformer. The 3 phase HV is connected to the primary which has "Delta" windings (imagine a triangle with each wire attached to an apex) the secondary (220 VAC phase to neutral) is wired in a star configuration the star point being the neutral (the 4th connection, imagine a "...

Looking at the video raises the question:- Who in their right mind would put themselves through the crap they had to endure at Swampy then 14 days quarantine. I guess the only thing they can look forward to is gorging em selves silly at their 1st buffet meal on release, nothing else touristy to do. ...

Sorry that’s not true, the Thai power system is mostly transitioned to TN-C-S with MEN, ours certainly is TN-C-S with a MEN link. There are certainly areas that are pure TT. It’s not too difficult to check which you have as roughly every 3 power pole will have an earth to it. The other ways are to ...

Firstly it is disturbing that your getting a "boot" of your HWS fittings, even the Thais know they should be earthed correctly. Without looking at it myself I would guess the PEA have a ground fault at the star point (neutral) on their step-down transformer, measure the voltage between the Earth and...

Called "Para Bor", my class one insurer quotes it on my annual renewal as an addition. Up to me whether I take it or not = I do as the premium for it is generally a standard amount.

Hope it's an unfounded rumor! Quite a character, he and his wife were an entertaining couple in more ways than one. Cycled through many bars since I 1st came across him in the olde Farang ally about 2001.

It's hypothetical, nothing in concrete but some sites saying it could be up to 30K for Farang, who knows? Just looking for "sensible" comments as to an individuals perspective.

"The whole question of a vaccination is rather pointless"

So your saying that the Polio and other vaccines should NOT have been made available ASAP. What sort of comment is that?

This is the link to where Thai Government is budgeting to buy the vaccine when it’s released. The limited doses most likely free/30 Baht to Thais. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30395642?utm_source=bottom_relate&utm_medium=internal_referral Would you, as a Farang, pay a premium for the 2 shots,...

Recieved a 1.10 kg package posted:-
Aust. Post International Express yesterday. Was sent 12th Sept from Adelaide, spent the next 17 days in Melbourne then took 2 days to be delivered to me at my door step here in the rice paddies. Absolutely NO customs hold up! AUD $60.20 Postal charges.

Tong in cheek:

So hopefully through the next debate (I assume will be help via video link) they will require Trump to wear a face mask in which the moderators have installed a sock.

Each time he shoots his mouth off someone just pushes a button and shoves the sock in his mouth!

Thanks but NO thanks. OK a site sponsor, hope your making a Baht out of it, but IMHO they are flogging a dead horse! Wearing a mask into Makro (or wherever) is bad enough without wearing a suit.

I've been living in BAN DUNG Thailand now for coming up 5 years and i've yet to find any thai any of the food they always rave about to me it's just crap cooked in filthy kitchens and i end up on the shitter for two days if i even try a mouthful i hate the **** i cook my own my question is how do o...

Your "Hitachi (instant restart)automatic washing machine" isn't so much about it defying physics as you displaying your ignorance... but I digress. All motors and compressors are inductive loads regardless of size, ie. small motor = small load and (in case you haven't worked it out yet) large motor...

Problem is you people have no idea what it is all about! Cct breakers are installed to protect the CABLE not the appliance and sized as such. My 80 amp isolators are there for my 15 mm 2 feeders. F@£k it's hard. No helping some people. Never mind, Multinationals including Chevron Thailand paid me th...

And I might like to add:- See the photo of my home made, 19 year old domestic distribution panel and note the protection. Waiting ---- Waiting ---- Waiting ---- ...... Yes, it contains double pole isolation and circuit protection. Both Active and Neutral are disconnected through a trip or for mainte...
