^I'm looking forward to showing my Irish colleagues that an Irish stew didn't even make the top fifty and got beaten by a British-Indian dish allegedly invented in Glasgow!

Solar panels, and a second invertor, can be added in the future as savings from solar become available... I'm glad you highlighted this problem with grid tied inverters and power outages because I wasn't aware of that. I've been having a read on the net and it seems a second inverter is a cost effe...

Note: apart from being illegal, which in Thailand does not amount to much, a house pump should NEVER be connectd directly to the mains supply! I remember that some years ago there were water supply problems in Hua Hin and some large hotels were found to be illegally doing that, they were maintainin...

This is where I believe Thailand will be heading very soon: History has been made over the period April 1-14, sales of new energy vehicles (NEV) exceeded half of all car sales in China. New energy vehicles is a Chinese umbrella term encompassing a number of types but in reality means largely pure el...

This article is specifically UK biased... I think Thailand will be different. In the west, you have a lot of very big money, the oil companies and many established car companies, very actively trying to stop the adoption of electric cars. In Thailand, there is a lot of big established money going i...

It looks like a supremely civilized way to travel in to me and why would you want to drive if you can afford not to?
