Tourist Clarifies Reasons For Denied Entry at Don Mueang
Very simply - she would have done a run of a year+ of visa-exempts. That is the reason and then lack of 20k is the tool used to bounce her.

65-inch new TV...Which one would you buy right now ?
Saw the TCLs today in Home Pro and I see how they have the same sort of vivid neon presentation is there like Samsung/LG. I still like Hisense as closest to Sony's colour profile - but they have some crappy OS that is not android native...maybe as they don't have solid software guys to prevent the android getting bricked by viruses causing TV returns etc. Can you tone down the colours in TLC so they look realworld vs hypervivid magic mushrooms tones ? Like 'cinema mode' etc ? 75T6C looking pretty great for 14k...QLED as well. Also, do they have a dead pixel thershold for replacement, and is that valid for the full 3 years ?

65-inch new TV...Which one would you buy right now ?
LG ทีวี NANO80 Better one maybe ? Both models belong to LG’s 2025 TV lineup, so they are released in the same generation year. Which is the more advanced / higher-tier model? Even though both are 2025 models: NANO80 is the higher-tier series (NanoCell series). UA73 is the entry-level UHD 4K series. Simple ranking (from higher to lower series) NanoCell (NANO80) – better color reproduction (NanoCell layer), slightly better processing for color and viewing angles. UHD (UA73) – more basic panel, cheaper, good for general viewing. Summary Newer generation? Neither is newer; both are 2025 models. Better/more premium model? NANO80 is the superior and higher-tier model.

65-inch new TV...Which one would you buy right now ?
I guess with TCL you can get 70 or 75-inch for Samsung/LG prices...? I like hisense as they copied the colour profiles of Sony I was told...the inky blacks and not over-vivid colours...LG-Samsung tend to the vivid by default but I guess they have diferent colour profiles at the tap of a button...

65-inch new TV...Which one would you buy right now ?
65-inch new TV...Which one would you buy right now ? LG ? I think Samsung or LG have the best panel tech right now...? QLED or something with AI chips integrated to optimise the screen ? They all seem to be around the 15-19k mark that I have seen for Samsung and LG so far.... Hoping someone did the DEEP DIVE recently that's a tech fanatic can chime in...!

Could we live longer by not consuming preserved meats?
Colorectal cancer up at much younger ages in the UK, and the link being made was all these ultra-processed meats.... My only occasional sin is a burger or fry-up...otherwise try to get unprocessed chicken meat/fish/beef steak.

Just bought this synthetic block weed
This forum tends to be a sharing ground for foreigners to help each other.... Your post is just against the general spirit of this forum. " I got some great weed but not telling where I got it "

Just bought this synthetic block weed
How to know if its synthetic...if you eat weed flowers/trimmings and still get high - it is likely sprayed with sythetic weed. Being rusty about cannabis knowledge and knowing eating hashish gets you high.... I ate weed flower trimmings (not knowing its inactive taken orally) and got as high as smoking it....it should not activate unless carbolized/burned..whatever the expression is... I tried it twice to be sure...ate trimming and yep..got high. Got as high as smoking some.

How much should a foreigner pay at government hospitals?
Is that the insurance with a tax disc on a motorbike covering that 5k or you get that cover when you submit a report as someone married to a Thai ?

Why does nobody question the western LTR relationship fantasy?
I think that is why couples get into swinging scene in the west..wife swap, group, 3-somes and all that.....keeps things fresh....brings in a bit of jealousy and competition. But generally, marriages going the distance there is less likely than over in Thailand, I'd guess.

Updating my passport with Bangkok Bank
I managed to get my Bangkok Bank account reactived on visa-exempt - but TiT so it may vary from branch to branch.. It was dormant so long being out the country, but they got everything up-and-running for a fee in under 10 minutes. No request for a long-term visa stamp in passport. Done and dusted....hopefully no account lock-downs coming to that branch after that !

House Exterior Colour Change ?
Do you guys just tend to leave houses white on the exterior as it reflects most heat ? I'd have thought the roof colour makes the most difference in heat reflection...white/off-white/silver metal etc. The current roof is jet black and so it soaks heat like nothing else. Is there any colour that makes houses look more finished/expensive in your opinion ? Such as beiges/latte colour etc ? Did any of you change your exterior bland white quite a bit and now it looks $$$$$$$$$$$....?

Water Pump Pulsing at Lower Water Flow
So just arrived in the north and it's great to be back in Thaland after too long away dealing with 'stuff' back home ! ....and with the temperatures down in the morning = wanting less water flow on the shower to get more heat out the electric shower unit before 7am..when the water hits a lower flow point where it is hot...it pulses water (strong/down to almost nothing every few seconds) vs a consistent flow...like when you stand on a hose etc briefly. Is there any way to dial the pump next to the water tank so the water is consistent and nice and hot ? I'm living in a friend's place and they are away just now and I'm trying to help out with issues in the place while here.....bit rough around the edges. Have a handyman for all the rest of the stuff but he does not know about pumps/tanks/waterflow stuff. Edit: Chatgpt says... 2. Shower or piping flow is too low to keep pump running Many pumps need a minimum flow rate to stay activated. Signs: Spurt happens only at low flow. If you open another tap slightly, the flow stabilizes. But I wonder if there is some dial in tanks you can turn with a screwdriver for lower pressure constant output etc
