This is why it's crucial to choose a refrigerator freezer with extremely good insulation. 

 

The Hitachi refrigerator has excellent installation characteristics. 

 

But the new Samsung machine, which is double door, same as the Hitachi, seems to lack the same highly effective insulting characteristics of the more expensive machine. 

 

If this is true, then the Samsung machine will cost more, in the long run, due to higher consumption of electrical power. 

 

I like Samsung solid-state memory storage and Samsung phones. 

 

But I always think I a crazy if/when I buy Samsung appliances. 

 

 

It has had no problem for 17 years, except had a new motor 2 years back. 

It is a Samsung...

But, it still makes ice, though at the mo the motor does not stop during the day, at night I don't know, but the ice maker is always full...🤗

I've been here for some27 years and I've never known it to be so hot for such a long period. In my area it's been a month of 38-40, and the forecast I have is at least another 10 days of the same.

Same for me, though up country. My fridge/freezer cannot keep up, my bedroom A/C is struggling, don't need electricity for the electric shower, water comes out hot.

 

My 2 cats are near dead, the dog isn't much better, my electric has gone up by about 60%, via the f/f and bedroom A/C and fans, and folk come on here saying it is no different to any other year.....(tools).......🤔

Want to know why there are so many farang road deaths here in Thailand?

Just read the comments (or listen to them) by people who "clearly" don't have a minimal clue as to the laws of right-of-way at intersections as well as all of the excuses for the consequences of heedless driving.  If you are driving an bicycle, EV scooter, motorcycle, car, truck, or simply walking - if you are on a Thai road your first responsibility is to "clearly" be aware of your surroundings and to navigate with caution and in a defensive manner.  If you are driving an EV scooter and get hit by a car - trust me - it doesn't matter who was at fault if a modicum of caution and defensive driving could have avoided the accident in the first place. 

Hopefully AN/Thaiger will keep on top of this event come what may - I really would like to know how the BIB, Thai court system, and the insurance company settle this.

The white SUV was clearly at fault. The video shows it was. If it were a woman with a pram crossing the road, the same outcome. SUV not slowing down for the junction, no caution for the junction, the driver should have known better....🤔

[Savannakhet non o visit wife report]

6 minutes ago, Wongkitlo said:

Just back in Mukdahan with my new multi entry non o visa. Went to consulate Tuesday morning around 9.30 am and queued inside till 11 am. The print shop across the road and closest to the bus station helped me organize  my documents and she was very helpful. I had filled out my form and written 12 month Multi entry 5000 b on top. At the desk he did ask where my wife was and I replied she was back in Thailand looking after her sick older sister. I had a bank letter showing a balance of over 400,000 baht which I had deposited 2 weeks before and there was no mention of seasoning. I also had my passport copies, photos, copy of Lao visa and  a signed copy of my wifes ID card, Tabien bahn, and our wedding certificate. I also had a Kor Ror 2 from September and I worried slightly that it was out of date, but he didn't mention it. He did not want my bank book or my original wedding certificate. I kind of had the feeling he was happy to receive the 5000 baht for the Multi entry as he had seemed a bit harsh with the people before me, but very kind and friendly with me. Might be encouraging for others considering the trip.

I did think that Savannakhet had changed a little since I was there last year. There seemed less foreigners around. I used to go to expat owned Dolly's pizza but it was closed-not sure if just for a holiday.  The tuk tuk drivers seemed more hungry for money, the hotels seemed more expensive. I stayed at Xaythonn Hotel which was 11 usd. In the past I stayed at Avalon but it was full. The owner of Xaythonn was very friendly and helpful and would drive people to and from consulate and the border for 100 baht. She took me to the consulate today and, after a 5 minute wait to pick up my passport, she dropped me at the border and then I took the bus back to Thailand.

I have posted that last time I was in Savannakhet I was offered an agent assisted visa with no Financials. I asked the girl at the print shop and she said you could get them out the back behind the consulate but they were expensive and to ask the tuk tuk drivers.  They were non commital.  I wanted to follow it up further but it  was in the middle of a heatwave so after waiting at the embassy I just had to go home.

This is a report we have been waiting for, regarding the financials. thanks..🤗

"Additionally, the tourist has been instructed to compensate the car rental company with 20,000 baht for the damages incurred."

 

Sounds like a rip off - the car doesn't appear to be damaged in any way - no collision - maybe got "scratched " by the sand?

Is the drive-shaft, trans casing caked in sand, perhaps it was put up on a hoist for inspection, decided to strip a few things down, we don't know....🤗

Yes, the mobility bike was obscured from the tool in the SUV as he sped through on the inside of the gray car............🤗

So there is no corruption that have happen during the supply andnaid of this war that have created problems for Ukraine in the war against Russians? 

 

One simple question?

 

Corruption have been up for debate among many contributors, and have lead to two top Ukraine ministers leaving their posts. 

Is that all you worry about, a few trying to nick a few quid, try thinking of the bigger picture that the West and Russia's border countries are facing.

 

In fact, Russia must be the most corrupt country on the planet, look how much Putin has amassed......🤗
