27 minutes ago, Guderian said:In the EU, even if the cancellation/delay isn't the airline's fault they still have to provide some basics to passengers booked on their flights, like vouchers for food and drink while they're at the airport. No chance of getting compensation though, because as you say it simply wasn't Thai or any other ariline's fault.
I also seem to remember passengers were taken care of reasonable well a few years back when the giant volcanic ash cloud from Iceland was grounding flight in northern Europe and America for nearly a week.
That cloud was certainly not the airlines fault.

Well you have to learn you can not expect any reimbursment from any products bought in Thailand or services from thai companies while something is wrong or went wrong. That is Thai customer service!
If other airlines could reroute their flights why couldn't Thai Airways do the same???
Too late, too lazy, too stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most tourist would have bought their Thai tickets in their home country. Hopefully home country rules will apply, even for Thai Airways.

Hope the passengers are given better treatment than I got from the local ferry company when there were cancellations due to the Tropical Storm Pabuk in January ????, still waiting for a replacement ticket or refund.
I know of one family with 2 kids that was suppose to fly to Europe last night. They have been booked on a noon flight this Sunday, extending their stay in Thailand by 3 days, but ZERO compensation from Thai Airways.
No hotel, no taxi/limo from the airport, not even a 100 baht food voucher. Nil, nothing!
Bit low of Thai.

Looking forward to that.
If you need to refresh the old memory, then there is already a 2 hour Breaking Bad Movie, made by a fan.

Yes, it doesn't appear we can blame the fires this time (meteorological?). There is last night's 4-hour period of > 150 (1800-2200) and then it goes moderate from there (< 150 and two hours of < 100). Weird. I hope this is not the "new normal"!
At 1335 today (Of course the RTAQ is 1 1/2 hours behind - hardly Real Time, as its name states):
I just came back from a road trip in Isaan and the whole area is covered in hanging smoke and you see burning or burned out fields everywhere. They jokingly call it "black rain" when black ashes fall from the sky while a nearby sugar cane field goes up in flames. Burning is the main course of the smog, even in Bangkok.
I was reading 65-85 micro g/m3 with the SNDWAY.

AliExpress small package to Thailand is usually either free shipping or a very small charge. Right now when I look on the Sndway store site, it's showing free shipping to Thailand. (Same free shipping to the U.S., according to their site, but looks like a considerably longer delivery time, not surprisingly.) My two units, ordered months apart from them, both arrived to TH in less than two weeks from date of order.
Can you order cash on delivery from Aliexpress??

Actually you are exactly right. I ordered and received the SW-825 from Lazada and am looking at it right now. However, when I first responded on this thread I simply opened up my past order page on Lazada, and when I clicked it, it automatically went to the new A25M. So, obviously, they are no longer selling the SW-825 on Lazada, as it has been replaced by the A25M.
That explains the mix-up.
The A25M could of course be a new and improved version of the tried and tested SW-825, but knowing the Chinese is is more likely a cheaper knock off so they can make a few more cents.
One particular Chinese vendor on Lazada advertise for the Sndway but ship the Uni-T model.
Imagine you order the latest Volvo and after a couple of months wait the dealership deliver a Geely!
Customer service Chinese style.

I think you probably mean the Sndway A25. Yes, that's the one I bought from Lazada and works very well for PM2.5 and humidity. However, its temperature gauge does not work at all, which is fine that's not what I bought it for. I think it's full model number is A25M, and being sold for about 1500 Baht.
The A25M is made by UNI-T. Same kind of device, just different manufacture. The display is different and slightly smaller battery.

Have anyone figured out how to permanently change the SNDWAY's white/red screen set-point?
Mine defaults back to 115 micro g/m3 each time it goes to hibernation mode.

Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap CO2 scrubber and an O2 generator so I can seal my abode up like the nuclear submarines of my distant past?
I already have the air purifier (such as it is) and know where to buy the door seal tape thanks to this thread????.
You are probably kidding, but your idea is actually easily doable. You could get a Nitrogen generator and just discharge the nitrogen and use the Oxygen richer air from the N2 generator.
You would also probably need some kind of C02 scrubber to stay alive.

Because they have both released new movies in their 80's, thought that was fairly obvious. As to Redford making crap movies, a lot of people would disagree with that.

To the happy SNDWAY SW-825 owners, how does the below UNI-T A25M measure up?
85 g 60x64x28 mm??
The 520 mAh battery is smaller then your 58 mAh battery.

Sadly, it looks like I got my wires crossed and have ordered the below. It is from China and doesn't look like a "real" SNDWAY.
The link you provided is now sold out. Bad luck I guess. Any idea where to get a SNDWAY?
My (possible) fake SNDWAY showed up today after 13 days, but the delivery guy did not allow me to open the shipping packing to verify what model it was, so I didn't take delivery of it. Backward service from Lazada, expecting you to pay for something you can't even see.

Phones can get traced , some phones have global positioning , so you know where your phone is , passports would need to be sold .
All they wanted was cash .
You were most probably drugged , does your bottom feel OK ?
Actually this is a good suggestion. If you use Android your phone store your every move and you can see where you have been on Google Earth.

Home meters & calibration: Compare your meter with local readings. If they are way off, then something is wrong, probably with home meter. I replaced a sensor in a friends AirVisual meter when the numbers were wrong. Another friend bought a new 1500 baht unit and everything was in chinese.
Do you remember the model he got?
Hopefully not this one: https://www.lazada.co.th/-i172085377-s307358729.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&spm=spm=a2o4m.order_details.item_title.1

37 minutes ago, ubonjoe said:But for the 2nd visit it is only a matter of handing over your passport to have the extension stamped in it. Done in minutes at most offices.
Minutes as in 60 minutes at Chang Wattana, correct, but only then can you queue up for the multiple entry stamp.
Either way, it does require a second trip to immigration, which can be a long trip for some.

Pro - you can work (with a work permit)
Con - it's cancelled on death/divorce.
That's about it.
You need 2 visits to immigration for the marriage extension while you can do everything in one day for the retirement extension.

This company have any conceivable sensor.
A bit more expensive than Lazada, but will give it a try.

Correct. My friend got a 4 pm e-mail that his midnight flight to Europe was canceled.
