  1. Thanks guys for this info.

     

    My IPTV service provider mentioned to disable IPv6, which I 'thought' I'd managed to do via the AIS admin section after I'd logged into it on my computer.  Found the "Disable IPv6" button quite quickly, pressed it, and nothing happened.  It didn't 'disable'.

     

    I've since read that any changes in this manner need to be done while you hook your computer up to the router directly via a LAN cable.  I don't think you can disable IPv6, or make any changes, if you are connected wirelessly from your computer to your router, but I might be wrong about that.

     

    My router is the HG180 v2 model.  I will let you know how I get on.

     

    Cheers and thanks once again.

  2. Have had AIS Fibre installed for almost 5 months now and 90% of the time it rattles along at 55Mbps, no problem.  Internet TV via the Android Box works perfectly.

     

    Then at any time of the day (not just the traditionally 'busy' periods of the evenings) it will drop to 2Mbps.  This can last for 15 minutes, or 3 hours, no consistency to it.  It renders the internet TV unwatchable.

     

    Doesn't seem to matter that I turn off all the other 3 devices that are using WiFi, the speed remains around 2Mbps even then.

     

    My question is:  has anybody else noticed this and if so has anyone managed to find a stability solution?

     

    Thanks in advance and apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere.

  3. Was with some friends driving home just after dark last night on Sukhumvit here in Pattaya. We started counting the number of drivers without helmets. Gave up as there were just too many. So, being stuck in a bit of traffic, decided to county those without helmets AND no tail light. After 10 minutes we were well over 20.

    New laws mean nothing unless they are properly enforced.

    Gotta disconnect those back lights! Can't have ghosts following you home!

  4. We operate a business that entails measuring the most popular IAQ-related outdoor air contaminants (TVOCs, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Particulate PM2.5 and PM10, Ozone and Formaldehyde) to compare against levels recorded inside buildings. Reason we measure the outside air is to see how well a building's 'envelope' copes with the filtration of these outdoor air contaminants (and to see if any contaminants are being generated by anything contained within the building's interior).

    I am constantly surprised when we collect the measurements and collate them. I am currently working on an IAQ assessment we recently completed on Sukhumvit Soi 31 and ALL the above contaminants score in the "Good" or "Excellent" Class as determined by the Hong Kong and Singapore Government Environmental Departments. We don't use the Thai parameters as we (and our clients!) trust those two government's perceptions of IAQ over those issued by the Thai bodies.

    FYI - we only use GrayWolf IAQ equipment imported from the manufacturer in the USA and calibrated annually back in the country of origin.

    Cheers...

    Oh dear, the Thailand bashers and haters aren't going to like that!

    I must admit, the silence has been deafening since I put that post up over 4 hours ago.

    I guess the whole factual element of the post has sent most of them off to their bar stool scratching their heads.

  6. We manufacture an extremely effective solution to the problem of grease and oil deposits caused by cooking processes. Every extraction hood in the Mandarin Oriental has our equipment installed (12 kitchens in total).

    So...off we go to market this piece of technology to other establishments in Thailand.

    After two years of trying we just sell it in Singapore now, where it has been recently tested (and the testing approved by the Singapore National Environment Agency).

    Quite simply...Thailand doesn't care about this issue. I'm amazed more buildings haven't burned to the ground given some of the horrendous conditions we have seen in some very Hi-So establishments.

    I suppose I should now try and introduce our equipment to the facilities management of T21, but there's no point as we are fed up of being turned away from everywhere because 'if' Thai facilities managers ever wanted to perform some kind of deep-clean they would simply throw a small dark skinned person, on 100 Baht a day, up into the duct with some kind of deadly acid concoction.

    Thailand...the country where everything almost works.

    Please PM details to me, including your email address. I know a few large companies in Thailand that would be interested.

    i completely understand where you are coming from.

    a friend of mine had a website that is popular all over the world, but he couldnt get the Thai-Section of his business to work in Thailand because NO ONE WANTS TO SPEND ANY MONEY here.

    Even if it will save them money and even make more money for them, they DONT WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY.

    they prefer to take their chances and avoid spending money if they can.

    so he closed his Thai department (after 3 years of effort).

    his product was different from yours, but the SAME conclusion as you.

    I am confused are you talking about restaurants or the government here. Don't want to spend the money its got to be the government.

    There is no way we would even approach the government to try and sell anything. I'm talking about restaurant owners that simply don't want to spend anything.

    The reason we have installations in places like the Mandarin Oriental is they are audited quite strictly by their own Engineering Management Department who demand standards set by overseas bodies.

    No such standards exist locally - hence nobody has to do anything about it if they don't want to, which let's be honest, falls right into the scope of work for most Thai engineers.

    As I said, we have been into some horrendously dirty kitchens and I am amazed there is not one of these fires nearly every day.

    We determined that our main problem was that in Singapore restaurant owners MUST prove they have cleaned their hoods/ducts at least once a year. They need to produce a certificate that proves it's been done by an approved cleaning company.

    Cost of cleaning in Singapore is equal to a Return on Investment for our equipment of around 24 months.

    The Return on Investment period here in Thailand would be around 100 years, given that they don't even budget for it...until the building catches fire. AND, there is no standard that requires proof of cleaning or maintenance.

    Hence, we are still happy to manufacture here, we just don't bother trying to sell it here anymore. Waste of time.

  8. Done! PM just sent. Cheers...
