  1. Hi, Doing research for my studio, I shortlisted the sharp J40TA and the Toshiba H30. They are both in stock in the shops near me and the Toshiba is 2500 THB cheaper. However, if you read the tech the Toshiba seems a lot better. Up to 36 sqm for the Toshiba and 30 sqm for the sharp. 24 db noise for the Toshiba vs 45 for the sharp. More speeds and longer warranty for the Toshiba as well. The CADR seems better for the Toshiba as well 300 vs 240 They both rated HEPA12, have a similar size and design. So, two good brands and the cheapest seems to be the best. Too good to be true? If you have any idea or experience... Below links and screenshots https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1153296 https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1104858
  2. So, as i like to conclude the topics with the solutions found, after advice from the plumber I hired, was fitted an American Standard model with a pipe going into the ground hole. Everything was sealed with white cement. Happy so far with it.
  3. Ok Ok, anyone has a contact, (preferably line or messenger for pics ) for a reliable plumber who can take good care of this in Pattaya?
  4. Yes, i look quite few Cotto spec sheets and in some a Rubber Seal: ref C9374 is provided. This is what it should look like: This is provided in some Cotto toilets and not in some others. It was supposed to be a part of the original toilet but I cannot check if it was fitted as i couldn't put the toilet upside down. It is supposed to be supplied with the new Cotto toilet I want to buy. So, even a skilled Thai worker is not going to use it and will seal with white cement instead?
  5. Thanks. I was thinking about asking the guy (when i will found one) to cut the tile, drill the floor and screw something like that (avail. in homepro) : They would not do a work like this here?
  6. i moved the old toilet to check the pipe and what i've seen seems far from standards even for thailand. It obviously needs a full access to the pipe does someone know what needs to be done? Just try to cut the tile, add a rubber ring and screw? Is any handyman with plumbing knowledge able to do that?
  7. Good morning, The Cotto toilet in my condo is leaking from the base and needs Refits or Repair or Replacement. As i don't like the shape of the old toilet I've decided to go for a replacement. Looking at the technical docs on the few models that could be okay i noticed a difference that could be a problem, regarding the distance to the wall. OLD Toilet: NEW Toilet: If you look at the drawings on the right, it seems that between the old and new toilet an increase of space of 5 mm (0.19 inches) is needed between the cistern and the wall. Unfortunately even if it's a very small distance, the actual cistern is really stuck to the wall and I understand that obviously the drain part of the base has to be placed on the toilet pipe at 305 mm from the wall, no choice. Do I understand the technical drawing correctly? Is this small difference of spacing can be easily solved by finding some extra space during the installation of the cistern on the base or the installation of base on the ground pipe? Thanks
  8. Thanks, would have think that not using screw was a mistake from the previous builders.
  9. Thanks... well i double checked the old leaking toilet and noticed that there are no screw. It seems that they just put concrete and leave it there, not even sure there is a rubber / wax ring. Here is a pic Start to think it is going to get quite complicated if the old concrete has to be removed first and holes to be drilled. A shop contractor might not be ok to do that. Any idea? Should i start to look for a plumber?
  10. Hi, I'm in Pattaya and need to change the toilet in my condo bahtroom. Among all the possible DIY shops (Homepro, T. Watsadu, BNB etc...) which one would include the installation of a new toilet if i buy it from them? Around how much would that cost? Obviously they would have to unseal and remove the old one first. Thanks
  11. Maybe I have been lucky but I have been successful buying a condo with Wise. I had on my bank book multiple Transfers over the last 2 years to BKKBANK with Wise, all tagged as international. It Was not straightforward, the 1st BKKBANK i've been told me to go to the branch were the account was opened and for them to decide. Lucky me it was in the same city.
  12. Thanks but No, i'm not buying a replacement yet as there will be some renovation going on and I'd like the old one to get out of the way now that i see it is useless
  13. New condo, I was thinking about getting this mattress cleaned but unfortunately after checking under the bedsheet i found out that it is good for the bin. Anyone has the contact of a person / company who can get rid of this for me for a fee (I'm in nakluea). Google search has not been successful so far. No need to suggest that I wait for the council garbage collectors truck and ask them, involve condo staff in that matter or drag the mattress and leave it in the street. There must be a company that will take care of this in pattaya for few hundreds. Thanks in advance.
  14. You know that any question a bit tricky has a big risk to be replied by "Cannot" and then you can never go back to that same personn even if you prove her wrong. Thanks for your interest anyway
