    By Anonymous, Created on: 16/10/2004, Last updated on: 28/03/2007

    Solar Power

    By Anonymous, Created on: 29/03/2005, Last updated on: 31/03/2015

    » I dont understand why Thailand is not using the sun which is there 365 days/year. Can anybody tell me ? I am in the process of building a house but when it comes to solar energy i might have to import myself to only then be confronted with a high import tax on such products. And that while closing...

    • Anonymous commented : has been shown to increase air conditioning energy use in Bangkok because after the home heats up during the day, the radiant loss of heat to the night sky is impeded by the insulation. However insulation has its place and if used wisely can be a big asset.. But it takes intelligent planning. I see no reasons why it cannot be used in walls of homes and in ceilings of buildings which are air conditioned during the day. Ventilation thru good design appears to be the best first approach tried and after that then after that heat reflective coatings on walls and roofs , followed by geoexchange air conditioni8ng. INSULATION PROBABLY WILL WORK BEST IF MOVABLE , ALLOWING BREEZES TO REMOVE HEAT WHEN NECESSARY AND PROVIDING A CLOSED IN AIR CONDITIONED SPACE AS DESIRED. My ideas what do you think ? Randy

    • Anonymous commented : ape they wil not compress and air spaces are maintained which maintains their insulation value. I suspect that cavity insulation using techniques similar to those used in US would work in Thailand. But like I said in my other message insulation has to be applied appropriate to the surrounding. Best to you, Randy

    • Anonymous commented : every basic service such as hair trimming, dining in restaurants, all these one has to make reservation!! And like you, in 17 years in Sydney my house was broken into three times, car stolen twice. My friend has almost been raped; another one who owns restaurant has been robbed taking whole week worth of sales. In Bangkok, apart from steamy hot, traffic jam sometimes, polluted air, but in general people are happy and generous and easy going and compassionate.

    Do You Support Your Thai In-Laws?

    » In Thailand, children take care of their parents. They kind of pay back the debt that they contracted just by being born and educated by their parents. And contrary to "popular" belief, it is valid whether you are rich or poor (but of course far more meaningful if the parents are poor...)....

    • Anonymous commented : has an easy access interm of airport or bus terminal), not too far from BK, since I intend to travel around the country. Situate closes to the sea would be nice. I fall in love with Khon Khaen in January, the air was dry-cool-crisp. What I try to say is I intend to live in a town that has cool weather. Love seafood and typical Thai spicy foods. Long-gong is my faverite fruit. That is one of the reason I always have to come to TL all these years. This little happiness that what keeps me going. I enjoy outdoors life (so smoking-drinking-nightlife is out.). Love being close to nature. Any water spring in TL ? Khun Rooster, it would be great if you know some place in TL that resembles to my Shangri-la . Your respond is greatly appreciated.

    • Anonymous commented : friends. Good quality of air is #1 on my list to decide where I want to live. Korat and Loi-Et sounded very interesting. How long the temperature 60-70 F last ? How long is the summer ? Compare to Tampa, FL where I live, the summer ( when you need to turn on air conditioned from May-September) lasts about 5 mos. When I was touring spring in Siwa Oasis, in Southern Egypt I had the best time of my life. They turn those spring into swimming pool by constructing the tile wall around the spring. The water is crystal clear and cool. I have carried that fond memory up until today . It would be nice if TL has both hot & cold spring. May be I dream too much ? A choice between a condo or a townhouse? I will leave that until I had lived in that town for at least half year. I have to get use to the life of normad while I still on the quest for my idle place. You have given me the best advice about the rule #1 not to show off my living in the USA. It' so true about my Thai-lish. I always act very humble, but my Thai speaking has a slightly accent. Also the way I carry myself ( posture and walking) gives me away sometimes. I'm gratefull for your advice.

    • Anonymous commented : ut of your question since the air is not very clean and weather is not very nice. There is hot spring in Ranong. Big and small waterfalls are all over Thailand. As for national parks, there are everywhere in Thailand too. As for fruits and foods, these things are available and prices are depending on the distribution. Big supermarkets are now available in large to medium size cities. If you love the sea the most, I would think that you might like to live in Phetchaburi; it is not far from Bangkok. I have a cousin who owned a house close to Kang Kra Jai/Chan National Park, but you probably wanting to live on the eastside of Muang Phet since it is close to the sea and with fishing fleet harbor. It is about two hours or so on private vehicle from Bangkok. My family has our compound in the countryside north of Bangkok since I have to conduct some of my businesses in Bangkok. Now, there are highway loop around Bangkok so it is much quicker to bypass Bangkok to go to other cities and to the beaches. If you are planning to live alone, than a townhouse or condomenium would seem to be a choice; you would still have small garden in townhouse or pot garden in condo.

    where can i buy money tree seeds?

    By Anonymous, Created on: 15/03/2007, Last updated on: 21/03/2007

    » we,ve all heard the word money tree ,this weird and wonderful plant that seems to be owned by nearly all farangs who are married to a thai lady ,her parents, brothers ,sisters ,and all the hangers on his wife calls friends ,well i,m married just to a thai lady thats all ,but i feel i,m being discriminated...

    • Anonymous commented : e seeds come into Thailand by air with November, December and January the prime times for the seeds to enter. The seeds grow and give off money very rapidly with two weeks being the normal period. Some however will begin to give off money within a few days. For you farangs who are looking for seeds of the money tree, forget it. The tree will never be found. However, Thai people, particularly young attractive women have a genetic quality where they can smell the tree very clearly. They can usually smell it from quite some distance and are quite adept at harvesting. For the relatives of Thai women, finding the money tree is much more difficult but it can be found. However it is better to let the woman search for the tree. She has better luck.
