I use Minix boxes which I buy here for the rental properties I market. You can order them cheaper on line but you get no support for updates etc. Over a year now and not had a problem with any of them. One time payment and no monthly bills

Re: Farang Contempt for Thais?
It is not a foreigner/Thai thing; That is worth a separate thread regarding how foreigners think of Thai people and the contempt that many show openly.
Very rude not to let people know they have not been successful and give feedback as to why.

Re: Possible leak from incoming water
If the pump is off and the leaking has stopped then guess which side of the circuit the leak is :roll: I take it by "leak" you mean the holding tank is dropping. If you shut off the holding tank and check your water meter is not spinning then you do not have a leak that side. If the pump d...

Re: Buy a good Chair for computer
The back is fixed on mine but springy enough. My friend, who has back and hip problems is 130 kg and I cannot get him out of it when he comes over unless I put his beer out of reach then I can nip back in.

Re: Buy a good Chair for computer
I picked a new one up in Home Pro of all places after trying a few others. I told the guy in the chair section at the back left what I wanted it for ( Long hours at computer) and he pulled out a few for me to try. The one I settled on has adjustable height and a springy back. I am 5' 11" and th...

Re: Rental in Hua Hin with social expat communities
We only manage a few rentals. Tropical hill 2 has a decent clubhouse and facilities; Reasonable rents as well. Most of the condos are very impersonal. My mum does chickyenet, book swap, ladies lunch club etc. I work otherwise I would have to do something drastic like play golf.

Mac person
Hi all 2 of my Macs are playing up. The iMac simply gives a code message for about half a second and turns off. It does not respond to any boot modes that I am familiar with. The macbook intermittently restarts itself for no given reason that I can fathom. I used to go to a guy on the railway line b...

Re: Buying doors for a property
I spoke with a developer to find out where he got his. The one in Pranburi he has had problems with splitting. I am not sure if it is the one you mean but clearly the wood is not correctly dried at some places. I rented a place where the doors stuck in wet season. Checked and they had not sealed the...

Re: Why did you settle in Hua Hin?
I spent the first 10 years in Thailand living on Koh Tao working in and around the diving industry. Great times but business was taking me more and more to Bangkok. A few days was fine but when the trips were 2 weeks I decided that I needed an alternative so started basing in Hua Hin whilst waiting ...

Re: Govt to increase alcohol tax again
Just realised it is the 6th march and went to the restaurant to check and panic buy. Still 45 Bt for a small Heineken or San Miguel light. The place is busy and gets daily deliveries so I guess it has had no impact yet so why are bars putting prices up? Visited the large wholesaler on Palau road las...

Re: Buying doors for a property
The one on Palau is good and has a range of sizes and styles in stock. They can also custom make. We also use one on the left hand side on the way to Cha am. Prices are similar. There is a lot of development going on so expect a long lead time if custom. Think I waited 2 weeks for the last lot. Orga...
