7-Eleven Thailand only accept True Money app and credit cards (not debit cards) over a certain amount, i think it's 300 Baht. I've never tried Google Money in Thailand as I have iOS (not supported).

Google Pay and Google Wallet works fine in Thailand and in most countries, but only if you have an Android phone. iOS is not supported, worldwide...

I'm in the market for a new MacBook Air, but Thailand's retail price for the spec is pretty high at 61,900 Baht incl. VAT. Anyone knows of a local dealer that normally has promotions/discounts on new MacBooks? Spec that I need: MacBook Air 15" : M3 chip 8C CPU/10C GPU/16GB/512GB - Starlight-2024 (Thai-Eng-Keyboard) 256 GB harddisk is preferred though. Can't find any Macbook Air M2 chip with 15" screen, but that could eventually be an option.

We are in process changing ad setup and move to more powerful servers. Please be patient. Work in progress!

We are changing the ad setup soon when we move servers to Thaiger's datacenter in Singapore. Current hosting is currently in Canada and pretty slow, but now we have bigger budget. The page load WILL change to much faster asap. Please be patient 🙏

Always send, and request, to be sent with EMS. I've been here since 1986 and never lost an EMS or package. Registered letters always works for me as well. Both domestic and international.

Chuwit is a friend of mine since the late 80's. Last time I was out with him was at a corporate event at Siri House in Bangkok 2 years ago, and he told me about his cancer. He is in the US now. https://www.facebook.com/share/gbo72p3pQWpVPBJ5/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Anyway, a good exchange booth in Hua Hin is at Market Village when you go down the outside stairs to the basement. You can't miss it.

Not Bangkok related, topic moved to the Pub.

No. One business buys another business and they merge the businesses/operations. Voila.

Not much will change immediately, we are always improving moderation and content. The whole team is staiying, of course, we have been waiting for this for a long time. Forum structure will change a bit, better navigation etc. We need a better home page, better cloud hosting etc etc. We will share a few positive news in mid May.

The clip is a Facebook video, so you may need Facebook on your device for it to work. Our team have asked Surf Radio to make it in another format (audio only).

Yes, I sure remember that, and I remember you as well. 🙏 I think there is certainly time for another party/piss-up in the not so distant future!

Agree! Best post so far! 🙏 This merger is all for the better for our members and for our staff. The dogs has been pissing on us for a year or two. Thanks for understanding! ❤️🇹🇭

Just carry on. Same platform but with new powerful cloud servers, finally!

If you’ve talked to anyone invested in bitcoin lately, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about the halving. Some crypto enthusiasts intone the halving like a religious event with near mystical importance: They believe its mechanics are crucial to bitcoin’s continuing price surge. However, detractors claim that the halving is closer to a marketing gimmick. The halving is expected to take place on April 19 or 20, depending on the current rate at which bitcoins are created. So, what is it, exactly? And is it hard-coded genius, or smoke and mirrors? What is the bitcoin halving? The halving goes all the way back to bitcoin’s origin story, born in the ashes of the 2008 financial crash. The cryptocurrency’s creator—who went by Satoshi Nakamoto, but whose real identity remains unknown—invented bitcoin the following year, and dreamed of creating an international currency that would operate outside the control of governments or central banks. Crucially, Satoshi wrote that there would only ever be 21 million bitcoin, so as to temper its inflation and potentially make each bitcoin more valuable over time. Whereas the Federal Reserve, in contrast, can adjust the supply of dollars when they deem necessary, bitcoins would be released at a predetermined and ever-slowing pace. Satoshi determined that roughly every four years, the reward to create new bitcoins would be… Full story: https://time.com/6967414/bitcoin-halving-countdown-event-2024/

TOPIC CLOSED Let's revisit this issue at some point in the future. I'm closing this now as it's gone off topic and downhill with lots of rumors and speculation, plus a few insults. Cheers 🙏

Thank you guys for helping out with this website valuation. It's good to know.

Yeah, that would be about right

I know.

Wow! It could be several things: - Just a rumor - AN is buying Thaiger - AN is merging with Thaiger - Thaiger is buying AN I wonder which alternative is most likely?
