  1. Actual version is W11 (W10 is out of life) , and you can download it by yourself, then buy a license key. If you mean a shop to install Windows, you will find maybe some in Icon on the back of the ex Computer Plaza. Also Dell service center can surely help you. Office is a cloud license now. You don't buy the program. So until we are not really sure about what you want to do .... not easy to help. Download W10 is easy.
  2. For everyone, I have already chosen a new model, high end, but enough expense right now ;-) As I will give this TV to family later this year, I was thinking about a cheap fix. Topic closed I think and thanks for all new TV suggestions.
  3. Ok, thanks for all your answers.
  4. This is in my plan, TCL C8K or C9K but not right now. Just waiting for some more answers.
  5. Hi all, I’m looking for a reliable TV repair guy in Chiangmai city. My Samsung LED TV recently developed some dark shadow areas on the screen. From what I can tell, it looks like a backlight LED issue — the panel itself isn’t cracked and the image is still visible and nice enough to watch a movie. I got a Samsung quote, who confirms the backlight problem, for 7,150 THB, which seems pretty steep for this. Before I decide to replace the TV, I’d like to see if there’s a good local technician who can do it at a more reasonable price. Any recommendations from personal experience would be much appreciated. Thanks!
  6. Also check at Yok Intertrade on Super Highway. They have many kinds.
  7. Additionally, the current RAM memory shortage and rising memory prices could affect electric vehicle (EV) sales and pricing ... Modern EVs embed many memory-intensive systems for battery management, infotainment, connectivity, navigation, and advanced driver assistance. Let's see in March ...
  8. Why is that ? I am not a native English speaker, but I did not learn anything new (If I am not wrong)... Case 1 : You bring 1 BTC bought oversea at 30,000 USD (no stacking/no yield..) on a Thai registered exchange. You sell it on Binance TH at 65,000 USD (roughly 2M Thb). Capital gain is 35K (we need to be just about the exchange rate here, let's say actual rate so, roughly 1.1M Thb) . You declare 1.1M Thb gain and no tax on it. Where is the scam here ? Just don't forget to declare it. Case 2 : you loose, (bought at 100K /Sold at 65K on Thai exchange) you declare nothing ... Case 3 : you bring your crypto to a Thai exchange, and don't sell it . You declare nothing. Right ? Wrong. Let's be clear.
  9. Yes sorry, English is not my native language ;-) ... I meant speaker.
  10. Yes and no. Adaptive mode, on Samsung soundbar, makes the central speaker clearer for dialogue. The same soundbar n standard mode is less clear. SO yes the size of central woofer is important, but the software can help a lot also.
  11. I know her ! (sorry, cannot resist)
  12. Block her Line / unfriend on FB / Delete all mails / And don't read new mails (I know it is hard when you need closure, but this would be 99% sure bull<deleted>). Look at you in a mirror, move your lips and try to say "NO", "ENOUGH" ;-) Also, get out, take one girl for the night, and have fun. Life is short. Oh and the day you will meet a normal one, good one, sincere one, you will have to wait weeks or months, before getting her in your bed ! That's true for most of the real Thai women. They need respect before you can touch them ! (raw but true, sorry)
  13. Why would you need advice from strangers about how to handle your life ???? Any question about love relationship should be directed to your mother, as she knows apparently more than you, or only to yourself. Just realize that even if she comes back, this will happen again. 1 - don't run after a girl, except if you think you are so ugly, poor and stupid and she is so cute, clever and rich, that this is the woman no to loose ! 2 - Line, block, unblock, show reception icon or not, can be easily faked. 3 - if she comes back, this will happen again, and if not, she will make your life miserable and YOU will try to get away, blocking her message, inventing stories, when you will find a genuine one ! Be a man, you are not 18 anymore. Good luck
  14. Well, as you are quite sure she will never unblock you, your story is finished. I am surprised this can sill happen in 2026. Really ? Trolling maybe ... Post a picture ! You have nothing to loose now. Some guys in Phuket or Singapore maybe can help ... ;-) PS : and yes, she will answer back..one day. Have you ever closed a bank account that still had money in it? NO !
  15. I think we will have to get through January and February to see whether there are any new promotions. The upcoming motor show should bring better prices, and the excise tax policy may become clearer with the new government (although I think it will only be ready to push new laws much later). What worries me more is an article I read in the Bangkok Post (I’m not sure we can include a link here), explaining that insurers will increase their premiums—not just slightly—to cover the fact that EVs are involved in more accidents than ICE vehicles, and that the cost and complexity of repairing or replacing components can be higher.
  16. 4h ago, someone told you to try to ask the bank to add a page ... DID YOU EVER TRY ? Stop writing, just try and report if necessary. passport asked ? " Oh I forget sorry, can you just add a page, or I come back tmr..." Job Done if they accept. If they don't, back to square one but at least we know ...
  17. Did you try specific Pattaya groups ? Some are quite active and maybe more close to the "action" ...
  18. Exactly what I said ! Thumbs up ...
  19. I think the situation is quite simple to fix, with so many foreigners living in Pattaya, some without family, (I am not...) . DM the guy, just meet him, and if he is legit, just ask him if your sofa is enough for him... he could be a nice guy to share some days with ... if not, just go away, and that' s it. Instead we are speaking about passport, visa, police, money transfer ... can't it be more easy in 2025/2026 to help someone ? Not criticizing, just really surprised that after 5 pages no one try this ? By the way temple is the best idea.
  20. I tried Siamaya, quite good, but they dont make more than 80-85% pure chocolate bars. Taste is a little bit sour, but I do love it as I dont eat sugar. They have many 70% chocolate bars with other ingredients (excellent), and you can taste it in the shop (at least in Chiangmai). Little bit expensive but cheap chocolate is over for now . Rimping prices have double for Lindt. I found the cheaper one at Yok Interdrade.
  21. exciting for 3.2s ... then you have to brake urgently, as we are in Thailand 😉
  22. You are lucky to be able to fix it there for a nice price. I try to find in Chiangmai a not so greedy mechanic, no luck for now.
  23. Just to be clear, it has already been explained that 150,000 baht of assessable income is exempt from tax in Thailand, not 150,000 baht of total income. You can (and better if you do) earn more than this and don't pay tax.
