  1. Well, for starters, JAS39 is currently absolutely the best Gen4 multirole fighter jet. The jet turn around time, fully refueled and rearmed is under 15 minutes. Compare that with over 2 hours for F-16, which also requires proper airfields and highly trained technical staff. And I have no doubt that the Swedish defense industry will last, even with NATO membership, just like German, French and UK, just to mention a few. The biggest obstacle is the Swedish government, which need to approve every wartech export. In fact, just look at what Swedish wartech offerings are, just state of the art stuff!!! And, BTW, that Swedish sub did "sink" USS Ronald Regan three times during naval war games. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/tiny-swedish-sub-took-down-an-entire-us-aircraft-carrier Also, F-35 is just overblown piece of donkeys droppings. USAF should have kept F-22, as they should have kept Comanche helicopter.
  2. I really hope they don't sell them any subs. Really wouldn't want advanced Swedish wartech that "sunk" US' latest and greatest aircraft carrier three times without being found to go to China.
  3. The IO office I go to for my 90 day, Dan Singkorn, is almost always empty, no appointment necessary. Generally, I'm in and out in less than 5 minutes. And, like I mentioned, no form needed, only passport.
  4. That probably depends on which Immigration Office you're you're going to. For me, I need only my passport, the rest they have on their computer. That's in PKK Immigration (not Hua Hin!)
  5. Now would be time to restart that daily air shuttle from Bangkok to Hua Hin.
  6. There we go again, inventing metrics out of thin air. Since when do you measure IT capacity in MW? Give you an example: I have a new rig, it has 1000W PSU. That would make it 1KW IT capacity, right? Next to it is an older build, with 850W PSU. The new rig is >400% more powerful than the old one processing and storage wise, yet only 15% more powerful according to this fony metrics. Ain't that the truth. They will never get there IMO, and the whole thing will become just another hot air global warmer.
  7. Seem to remember similar. The article is not clear if they refer to local prices, or locally made liquor.
  8. In my understanding that refers to lao khao, Sang Som, Leo, Chang beer, and such. They will never lower the duties on their cash cow, the imported wine.
  9. The are couple of other factors that might affect this slightly for A/C circuits, but generally if you divide the power rating of the appliance in Watt by the supply voltage, you should get an approximate Ampere figure. So in your case, 8000W/220V=36A. Mind you, the power rating is the maximum, and would generally be much lower during normal usage.
  10. It is amazing to me how many people on this tread offer help without even knowing how to read an analog multimeter. And complain about Thai electricians at the same time! You cannot measure amperes with a multimeter directly. To measure you must connect it in series with the load. A potentially tricky and very dangerous situation. Don't do it at home if you don't know what you're doing. There are special meters to measure amperage on a live circuit. They are called clamp meters and use current transformer for measurement.
  11. No!, definitely not. The switch should be set on 250 VAC, as it is, and you should read the voltage on the scale labeled 0-250. The first black one above the red. For accuracy, you should zero the needle using the little plastic screwhead in the center of the meter.
  12. Hyper modern design (JAS39) vs 48 year old airframe (F-16, did somebody say "replace an aging fleet?) The choice should be simple. But then, there is, of course, the size of the brown envelope to take into consideration.
  13. Regarding No.3. Don't they know that not every country's driving license or ID card show the residence address... Mine doesn't.
  14. Or call 1333. They are very helpful and have English line.
  15. The BLL webpage is as convoluted as any Thai webpage, so couldn't even find the fixed deposit page. But here's BLL deposit rates. DepositRates_7Dec2023.pdf Look at number 9. Prakwan Bua Luang. Several of the people I know have parked the money in Bangkok Bank fixed deposit for the immigration extension purpose. You also get a bankbook. Immigration is very happy and never gave me problems over it. If you want fixed deposit at BLL, just go to your branch and tell them you want an FD.
  16. Are you sure you're looking at the correct website. I have only seen 6-month and 12-month (maybe 24) in the bank. They even have it displayed on the table with exchange rates.
  17. I have fixed term deposit with Bangkok Bank and bankbook that I use for yearly extension. So it's certainly possible. Probably the usual Thai, "I don't know so better say no can do"...
  18. The girl in the center....... yum yum... Seems like we have a lot in common.
  19. かわいい Have to admit, it actually spilled over. There is also almost 2TB on another drive, just JAV. This is one of my current favs, Anju Akane, Have to say, looks much better on the videos.
  20. I did get your original post. Be careful though. The original word that you intended can also be very offensive.
