Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool
Thanks Bluesky. Yes the lack of knowledge about pool detailed chemistry here in the pool shops is worrying. I'll PM you, thanks.

Replanting a magnolia tree?
My builders uprooted a 3 metre tree and left it with only a 50 cm root ball. I understand magnolias are tricky to replant but it's a shame not to try. It still has green leaves at the tips of its branches, not sure if it's on the way out yet. I can't lift the darned thing, and also have no gardening...

Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool
Bluesky, I'm interested to know how you would determine a high salt level in the pool, short of buying expensive testing apparatus. My chlorinator warns about low salt, but doesn't give a readout of the ppm salt level. I want to run about 6000-7000 ppm but don't know a way to check it at reasonable...

Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool
If you need to remove water from the pool normally you can achieve this by closing off the skimmer box draw pipe so that water is drawn from the hydrostatic valve/waste drain located in the bottom of the pool. set the Spyder valve to 'Waste' and switch on the pump. water should then flow through th...

Re: Does being an Expat make you miserable?
Most of the farang complaints are of matters that actually contribute to the fact that we are in Thailand. If everything was well-oiled and worked like clockwork, if everything was clean and well-ordered like the barracks, Thailand would be Switzerland or Singapore. We would neither like it nor cou...

Re: Does being an Expat make you miserable?
I was an expat in Dubai for 12 years and was blissfully happy for most of them. I've been in Hua Hin for only 3 months and am very happy so far, the good (cheap, very tranquil countryside setting for my home/pool, warm but actually can see rain and seasons, locals actually MUCH friendlier/more open ...

Re: Best Vet in town?
Hi all, Great thread. Being a natural born pessimist I like to have a plan for everything, so I'm reading with interest. But I have a couple of questions. BB - the vet at the top of 56 Soi, is it fully 24 hour and do you have contact details, or do you just rock up? And would the mobile vet (phone n...

Re: Pet access to villa and saving my legs.
Hi Bluesky, Sorry to be so late thanking you for your info re pet flaps last month. My head is all over the place, as I'm still in rented accommodation waiting for my villa to be completed. I've just completely forgotten to log on to the forum. The info is excellent, thanks so much. I will definitel...

Re: Pet access to villa and saving my legs.
Our doors are very robust (more security style), and not suitable for everybody. We had them installed because we didn't like our flimsy mosquito screens. It would be very simple to fit a pet flap into our doors, and I'm sure our supplier would do it. If heavy duty is what you want, let me know, an...

Re: Pet access to villa and saving my legs.
The below link gives you the photos and idea. The problem now is to find a local screen supplier who can make it. Stay tuned for others later this morning who may have ideas where it can be done. Pete :cheers: https://www.google.co.th/search?q=screen+pet+door&num=20&client=opera&hs=XNd&...

Re: Poor GPS performance with AIS mobile
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate the answers. The main point is that it's the same phone as when I was here in May, and the same places (HH main drag where I guess cell towers should be available. The only difference has been the AIS SIM. Thinking about it, there may be something in the car th...

Poor GPS performance with AIS mobile
I just moved to HH and have taken a postpaid AIS phone contract. Out of interest, no work or other visa needed to be shown, just passport page and bank book (I got the bank account last year on a tourist visa, I love the way rules are applied in this country!). Moving on - I went with AIS because I ...

Pet access to villa and saving my legs.
Hi all, Talk about first world problems, I have a lovey HH villa, with mozzie screens on all doors and a lovely pool to sit beside all day, but a dog that wants to be inside when she's out and vice versa. It's driving me nuts every five minutes, and the screens to the graveyard. Can a pet flap be in...
