Three electricity poles set on fire this time. Luckily it was spotted before it had time to spread.
Good video of the event at https://www.facebook.com/Sanchaideecharoen?fref=nf

https://www.facebook.com/KumphwapiPhost/?fref=photo Was reporting the fire through the night. Lots of Photos, video and comments. More pictures today of the aftermath. Google street view has good pictures of what it used to look like. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@17.1100215,103.0188952,3a,75y,221....

The aluminium will last indefinitely, but the biggest risk is damage through abuse as structural sizes are a little thin. They shouldn't be cleaned until shiny - the dull grey surface is a layer of hard oxide that protects from corrosion. Salt and strong acid can cause corrosion. Copper water pipes ...

One very important aspect. make sure that you state good reasons why your girlfriend can only visit for a maximum of one month, and why she must be back in Thailand after that e.g. this is the maximum time she can have leave from her job etc, and her career is very important to her. In the research ...

A big problem is both sides take a narrow parochial view, and a very short term view at that. The developments in Myanmar could mean a very rapid growth in rice for export. A stable democratic government their could mean a quick return of migrant workers, depriving Thai farming of a cheap labour for...

Kumphawapi is an excellent small town to live in. It has a grid of mostly wide streets that are mostly tree lined and has some of the most attractive streets of any small town in issan. The food market is thriving in spite of tesco, as the sugar factory contributes to it being quite a prosperous tow...

As others have said, anything email related is not secure. Even if messages cannot be read because encrypted, the network of connections are very useful to security forces. To ensure security, use the tor browser system to access the Internet. Set up a free account on a cloud storage system Use a de...

Electronics with discrete components on simple circuit boards can be fixed by replacing capacitors, but most computer boards use surface mounted components and these are virtually impossible to replace by hand. Where you have a mix of the two there is often not room to wield a soldering iron and ext...

Skytrain is easy. have some change for the automatic ticket machine. You cannot beat it if your destination is close to a station. Going from UK to Udon, book through with Thai Air, still need to collect luggage, but had an escort through VIP immigration desk to bypass queues. If you want a cheap ba...

The basic rules are quite simple, but sometimes outside your control. (I teach this as part of technology courses at university level) I am assuming that your site is .khonkaengolf. There are two separate problems. One is getting the search engines to index your site in the first place. The second i...

You want evidence? see http://www.teacherspensions.co.uk/pensioners/pensioners_faqs.htm A UK Teacher can marry after retirement, and his widow will get a pension. Q. If I remarry, enter into a civil partnership or nominate a partner after I retire, will a pension be paid to my dependants after I die...

Coronal mass ejections from the sun are millions of tonnes of hot electrically charged plasma thrown out from the sun at high speed. They are thrown out from areas of sunspot activity. If they happen to hit the earth we are partly protected by the electrical fields round the earth, but the electroni...

I wouldn't write off the UK and the pound just yet. The UK economy is in better shape than the newspapers would have you believe. The government is trying to devalue the pound using quantitative easing (printing more money) but it is competition with other currencies doing the same. Quantitative eas...

Don't think the OP's information is correct.
You can book direct flights with BA, Eva, Quantas, and Thai in summer 2012
prices with BA are particularly good for direct flights at the moment, especially for a single ticket Bangkok to London

Also agree that the Asus EecPC is a good choice. Built in camera is reasonable quality for Skype.

This thin steel construction has much less room for error than other methods. But there are some good sources on the Internet give detailed guides to rolled steel frame construction and design. http://www.steelframing.org/PDF/SFA_Framing_Guide_final%202.pdf Other guides give very detailed instructio...

Cans containing liquid should not be in hand luggage. But fruit isn't a problem in its own skin.

Another part of the system that seems designed to fail, is teaching science in English - when the students English ability is non existent. Conversation: What homework have you got today - science. What are you studying? - forces (shows page in English language text book for acceleration) Me - What ...

If the purpose is to oxygenate the water, then forget the technology. Get water plants growing in your pond, that grow submerged, and release oxygen directly into the water. Fewer fish per pond + weeds will probably be more cost effective than windmills or solar.

If the aunt would rather the land stays in the family for 200,000 that sounds like a perfectly normal Thai transaction in a Thai family to me. I would support your wife, help her check that everything is done legally, the mortgage is paid off and she has vacant possession of the land. I would treat ...
