  1. Ideally in Pattaya area or Bangkok where you can check the material before buying.
  2. My bad, they are MCBs in the distribution board, not RCDs. For the new rooms 11-13 assume best not to have E-N connected in the 3 consumer units?
  3. Thanks, but what do you mean by upstream of the link (which link?). All the CUs have RCDs, and a few rooms have shower units with built in RCBOs (or is that downstream?). The distribution board has RCDs which act as kill-switches for the live supply to each room.
  4. Thanks Crossy. See attached sketch - existing building has 10 rooms, all with their own consumer unit, and each consumer units has the earth connected to the neutral, so your comment is a bit of a concern. Should these N-E connections be removed? I don't think there is a N-E connection in the distribution board but will take a photo (by distribution board I mean where the main feed comes in and then the live and neutrals get passed to each room. The earths for rooms 1-10 connect to a MET in the distribution board). For the new rooms (11-13) a second earth rod needs to be used since they are 20m away from the first earth rod. These 3 rooms are also closer to the main meter, so plan is to connect to it again. I sketched out the intended earth connections based on your earlier comment - all 3 earths connecting in room 11 consumer unit.
  5. Thanks - good point. In the house on the same site (which has its own earth rod some 20 meters away from this earth rod) the neutral and earth are connected in its consumer unit, so I assumed same would be required here?
  6. Is this proposal by my electrician ok - 3 rooms-for-rent, each with their own consumer unit, and each with their own live supply and neutral. For the earth, does each consumer unit need to have its own independent earth (so 3 cables will connect to the earth rod) or is it ok for them to be connected to one cable which runs to the earth rod, like in this diagram? Thanks.
  7. Need to replace on my Mitsubishi WP. Any experience of third party brands - I see mitsustar and parno online? Or better to go oem (it did last 15 years). Thanks.
  8. Thanks- I thought that was the residence book mentioned, but reading it again, the residence book will be the yellow/blue book.
  9. It's been a couple if years since I last did the re-entry endorsement. Was looking on website for requirements - what is #4 ? Assume I can do the endorsement at Pattaya even though my address is Bangkok? Thanks.
  10. For a family, can vaxed children be added to the app installed on their parents phone, or everyone needs their own phone/app ?
  11. German Auto use BMW branded LL-04 5w-30 here which is on that do not use list... 650 baht/litre....
  12. I'm struggling to find anything available here that specifically says LL-04. Closest is C3 (Porsche approved) which is ACEA C3 which manual says is an alternative spec. I don't think its as simple as sticking in any 5W-30...
  13. Castrol Edge seems to get recommended but there's a few variations of 5W-30 and I can't see any here which specify LL-04. Castrol website mentions Edge Professional LL04 but can't find it anywhere. Which is the right one available here to use on N47T/F10 engine ? Thanks
  14. There's a set I want off before midnight, but I'm using a night sensor for the rest. Re outdoor solar, and recommended brand available here that have stood the test of time? I have a few but the plastic over the sensor has started to crack after a couple of years.
  15. Looks like this type are designed to sit inside a consumer unit ? Are there any that you can fix straight to a wall ? Thanks.
  16. How about returning permanent residents - is there any guidance re insurance period required ?
