I have a usufruct on all our lands. Our land office (Nong Wua So) is a tad strict, meaning they would not accept any changes to our lands unless I had okeyd it.

So far we have done about 52 bags pr rai.

We run a Kubota rice harvester. This year it is difficult due to the rains drenching most fields. This makes the work difficult because of the mushy ground and it takes much longer. Also some of the rice is wasted because of combines run by incompetent drivers. Not for us though. But price is not in...

We have two soi dogs, brother and sister that need new home. We have too many dogs and we hope to find these a good home(s). Picture is the female. Her brother looks the same only a little bigger. We live in the sticks and a neighbour has chickens. So a home with no farm with animals IMG_9793.JPG IM...

DI-MOBILE Princess Diana’s INCREDIBLE Ford Escort RS Turbo just sold for £650,000 at auction

not as expensive as the Thai Bugatti but alot of cash for an " old escort " ...555

History with the car pushed the price up. Which was another 100.000 GBP in auction fees to be paid by the winner.

That may be all true in your case. For me slightly different. When we were to build our house in the sticks eight years ago, PEA gracefully offered to draw a single phase line one km to our property border. Leaving 150m to get to the house. That cable should cost 750.000B! We declined the offer. Ins...

Still have to live another 20 odd years to gain any financial advantage It is not only worth looking at when or if you can get your investment back, IMO. For me, it is safety and avoiding blackouts, shorts and immer increasing electricity bills. Important is we always have power, regardless of weat...

Nong Wua So had 14 hours of heavy rain since yesterday afternoon. Stopped about 6am but still cloudy.

Last year our paddies gave around 3,6 tons/hectare milled rice.

What's with Bangkok Bank. If they are in the stone age when it comes to statements what are their other short comings. I know a number of expats who have dumped them over a number of issues mainly to do with in house customer service! 12 month Statement from KBank takes about 10 mins from sitting w...

Batteries now SOLD!

You can buy what you need now, if you wish.

Deep Cycle AGM closed batteries, 19 pcs. 12V 200Ah, 3 years used in our solar system. 2000B ea. We have switched to Lithium batteries so these are redundant now. Khanittha tel 083 3420184

Have a Kolsat 360V 3 phase 18 KW inverter that I do not need. Used it just over two years. New 240.000B. Now 90.000 ono.

fhorst. I see you are closing in on my 15kw system.

fhorst has not posted since July so I do not know how relevant this is now. We had similar position when we built three years ago. Over a km to nearest connection and a ludicrous offer from PEA. We are now off-grid with panels and batteries. No problems at all. Has been running over a year now.

Crikey, I’m going through these posts and and to be honest I’m a bit mind blown, I’m just building a place and I’d really like to use solar power so this is a big ask because I’m sure there are a million combinations, but, what I’d like is a complete starter package suggestion that goes from panels...

I have Kolsat AGM 200ah and they seem much more stable than the flooded Volta 160 I had before. Kolsat were 11.300B. I could not find the spec on these Kolsat so I used a Victron spec for AGM https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-GEL-and-AGM-Batteries-EN.pdf Kolsat AGM 200ah vs V...
