  1. Yet another totally unwarranted intrusion into the lives of ex-pats living in Thailand. Has there been an incident where using a passport, instead of a driving license say, would prevent a hi-jacking or a Thai 9/11. Maybe someone could enlighten me, because I haven't seen or read about such an incident. Another minor inconvenience, own top of all the bureaucratic nonsense and paperwork.
  2. Just goes to show there is no justice to be had in America with Biden's DOJ manipulating cases for political reasons. I would have liked to see some actual evidence for the conviction. It seems highly unlikely that he raped her in a changing room on the off-chance in a department store. Besides that I saw Marla Maples in person and I don't think Trump would have anything to do with the likes of E Jean.
  3. My wife tells me he has a financial interest in a company that negotiates the discounts for users of the digital wallets. I don't know how she knows, it probably insult true, but sounds plausible. I mean why force people to use digital wallets when you could give them cash or mail a check.....much easier and simpler. What about all the rural elderly people who don't know how to use a computer?
  4. Who would enjoy being wooed by this fellow? No me, that's for sure.
  5. OH good, let's get him out of jail or hospital as he is a model prisoner.....then maybe we can stop seeing articles about Thaksin dominating the news cycle and freaking out all the weirdos that hate him.
  6. Most dogs are much nicer than people. No you shouldn't harm soi dogs under any circumstances, unless they attack you.
  7. There is an inverse relationship between how advanced a country is and its need for piles of paper.
  8. Thailand should do its own thing and avoid the pollution that comes from supporting Israel.
  9. Well I never, the CC actually did a worthy action. Is Chidchob the BJP chairman?
  10. Why would they do anything about counterfeits? They make money out of them and are not being held to ransom by the original maker whose patent has expired allowing them to copy the product. The thing about counterfeits is that they use the OEM's brand equity to hike top their price above that of a purely generic product. I'd buy the generic any day for my own use, or the counterfeit if I wanted to show off to someone, like someone buying a fake Chanel bag. When I was 40 and a total fool I bought originals (Chanel, Mont Blanc, Tiffany, Coach, LV, Hermes, and had a collection off branded French silk ties......you dress for people who know about these things). Now I'm out of that environment, I know it is all phoney and you can buy fake <deleted> and show it off (or your wife can).
  11. Or they could work perfectly acceptably in your computer system, like generic drugs do in your body. Indeed given the penchant for cutting corners and saving pennies in US corporations these days, I'm not sure I buy the Real Thing is better and deserves a premium.
  12. Great review, yes I'll use them and save a few dollars. No problem.
  13. Obama started the war in Syria....he tried to do it covertly "no boots on the ground" but then magnetised by the oil the US could steal he put boots (and bases) on the ground. US policy and Biden (and others) started the war in Russia. The US has been at peace for 16 years since its Declaration of Independence. Not a great record. The retarded gene pool in the US leadership and elite have an irresistible desire to meddle in other's affairs.
  14. She's one of the world's premier warmongers, married to arch neocon Kagan, and a huge fat ugly tub of pig fat....Vicky NewLard.
  15. The criminal Joe Biden is the most dangerous person in the world, and trying to remake the world in US's image by constant propaganda in the case of vassal states and by coercion (economic and military) with others like China and Russia. The most evil person on the planet has to go to Netanyahu, a modern day Hitler slaughtering totally innocent women and children as he tried to take control of all the land in Gaza and boot the sub-humans (as he sees them) out. He is unlucky that he doesn't have the scale that Hitler had, in terms of pure numbers but the method and the hatred is the same. Third has to be Zelensky, trying to start WW3. But he's a puppet of the US, so he's indivisible from Biden. Fourth is Ursula von Der Leyen. a total idiot and lifelong unelected bureaucrat aspiring to become the secretary of NATO. God Forbid.
  16. I should have mentioned that I use FaceTime for video calls....and 5G works fine with that. This is why I am not sure my theory is correct and asked on here.
  17. Not to mention all of those terrible innocent Vietnamese who were napalmed, Agent Oraged and massacred....while the evil Mai Lai guilty servicemen got slaps on the wrist. Yes LBJ was a great American that would fit comfortably into today's power structures.
  18. Haley is a warmonger. The last thing the world needs is someone like her with the codes to the nukes.
  19. It is connected via a fibre optic cable....3BB. We had AIS (I think) before that but got so many dropped connection that we quit. It is supposed to be 100 meg but I have never actually checked it....it is fast enough for my limited needs. I don't download hardly anything these days. The speed is fine for streaming and fine for Spotify. I don't use Face Book Twitter or other social media, except Asean Now.
  20. Good idea....assuming they speak the King's English, of course.
  21. Hi folks, I have a slight problem with making internet phone calls with my mobile phone. I had an iPhone and always had a poor line when I phoned the US, particularly if phoning a company that had an automated voice system to direct customers. I changed my phone to Android, but it has the same problem. My phone is nice and clear on the first menu, but deteriorates to a very poor line when I get through to the choices, such that I cannot hear anything and neither can the computer or any stray human that is listening. So I also noticed that I had a similar issue with my computer i.e. when my laptop is logged onto the 5G option on the router I have a poor connection, only 'two bars' and losing the internet often etc. If I switch the connection to there 2G mode the computer works very well and always has maximum number of bars. So I think to myself, maybe the problem is that since there is not really a 5G network and since I live in the boonies, then maybe if I switched my phone to call on 2G, then it would work better. Well I have no setting on my phone to alter the 5G to 2G....I have asked at the shop that sold me the phone as well. So, I am wondering whether one can still purchase 2G or 3G phones that would only connect to the 2G mode of my router? Obviously I have tried locally and unsuccessfully to buy a 2G burner type phone. Does anyone know where to buy one.....or alternatively why, when I call my banks in the US, I am unable to communicate with them?
  22. I tried them at a supermarket in Korat, but they didn't sell Leica. Perhaps I should try a larger city like Pattaya or Bangkok.
  23. Thank you. I'll check with them next time I'm in Bangkok....I was just anxious to avoid the trip.
