I am in KK and have 3BB Fibre 200mb package and IPTV. I am using a high end Zidoo Android box and rarely get buffering.

If you are installing this in a bar, I can understand your concern and suggest you find a legit sports provider...

Apple stated:  

“Apple is deeply committed to protecting our customers’ data. The fix for the KRACK WiFi vulnerability is currently in the betas of iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS and will soon be rolled out to customers.”

As for Google:  Google said that the November 6 patch would fix the issue. Google’s own devices will receive the update instantly, but it’s going to take some time before device manufacturers and carriers approve the update. In fact, it could take weeks or months. Android fragmentation isn’t ideal in those cases.

None.  You don't know what you are talking about.  What bloatware does Xiaomi have ?
 

We are not talking about Xiaomi. We are talking about Samsung. Look again AH

What apps do you think you can't stop? Don't say all give me an example.

Just look at all your installed Apps. If Disable is greyed out, you can't disable it.

In the applications manager you can force stop anything I think.  I agree don't like bloat but I think I've stopped it all. 

You can not force stop anything. You can only stop those Google and the phone manufacturer allows you too..

I got my phone on a half price deal with AIS several years ago & although screen is cracked (have glass cover to stop further cracking) it still works fine & cannot afford new phone just now anyway although have been looking at AIS deal on J7 Pro.

The Sammy J7 is about B8000 and you still have all that Bloat. The Xiaomi A1 can be had on Lazada for B6900 and no Bloat. If you can see your way to a new phone, the Xiaomi would be a good choice.

If memory serves me, the Note 2 launched in 2012. Rooting will solve your problem, but I believe it would be difficult to find a ROM designed for the Note 2 that is still being supported.

In the future, you may want to buy a phone like the Google Pixel or Xiaomi MI A1 that runs pure Android.. no bloat. 

Fords are the best and best selling trucks in the world. Must be a reason for that....

Where can I buy saw palletto??


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

I would think twice before using Saw Palmetto. Go see a Urologist. 

Some people use saw palmetto for colds and coughs, sore throat, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and migraine headache. It is also used to increase urine flow (as a diuretic), to promote relaxation (as a sedative), and to enhance sexual drive (as an aphrodisiac).
 

Xiaomi MI A1  B7790 on Lazada. This phone has the biggest bang for the buck. Including Android One, Google's latest OS. There is little to no bloat, so rooting is not necessary..

Some vendors on Lazada are crooks. Example: today I want to order the new Xiaomi MI A1. List price is B7990. One vendor shows it at !2,000 and 40% discount to get down to the Manufacturer list price. This vendor is obviously a crook..

If you want to be sure your getting legit stuff, check the fulfilled by Lazada box.

I should have thought the answer was obvious......to make themselves appear interesting.

  Elementary, my dear Watson.

No, they do it because it can not be checked, nor would anyone in their right mind want to check...  AND they love to hear themselves talk...

A 2006 PC s not worth the cost of shipping. You can buy a bare-bones PC here cheap.

If you look closely at he Google page, you will notice it's Google Thailand.  Other countries are not affected.

That's correct. Google has servers in most countries. You are automatically connected to the server closest to you. This is why Google searches are fast.

The Series 3 is LTE/UMTS and both bands are supported by Thai Networks.

Check the new Nokia line. I got a low end one for my son [B3790] and quite impressed with the quality. 

B4-18000 I'm sure you will find one that meets your needs..

In USA and Canada you can now buy 2018 car models. How can I check they've been made in 2018?

In the US you can buy 2018 models today that have been manufactured in 2017.

Car manufactures typically start manufacturing the next model year in May or June of the current year.

I had 3BB Intl add-on and it does nothing but cost you B200 a month..

Yes, if you open a Bangkok Bank "Direct Deposit" savings account required for  U.S. govt payments such as Social Security/Military Retirement benefit payments no debit card or ibanking withdrawals/transfer-outs is allowed...a person must show-up in person at any Bangkok Bank branch to withdraw/transfer funds.   This is explained at the Bangkok Bank webpage.   However, you can transfer "into" the account via ibanking such as transferring funds from your Bangkok Bank acct, just any other Thai or foreign bank....and as discussed incoming payments directly from  the U.S. govt.

 

A person can also open a "regular" Bangkok Bank savings account which does come with a debit card, ibanking transfers out, etc.  However, you cannot send U.S. govt reoccurring benefit payments to a regular account as Bangkok Bank will spot the U.S. govt payment via the description and underlying coding in the transfer,  not post the funds/put them on hold, and send you a letter saying you need to come in and open a Direct Deposit account within approx 2 weeks or the funds will be sent back.

 

Using usdirectexpress to do an ACH transfer to your Bangkok Bank is basically them acting as a U.S. bank in this case.  Just as a person with a U.S. bank account can use ACH transfers  via their ibanking to transfer money to another bank which has an ACH/ABA routing number such as the Bangkok Bank NY branch.   All of my U.S. banks have that ACH transfer capability...and the primary ones I use do not charge any Sending fee like the $1.50 sending fee usdirectexpress charges.  But hey, $1.50 is still low compared to some of the more fee-evil U.S. banks.

 

Now, on-top of any Sending bank fee such as the usdirectexpress $1.50 fee, the transfers will also still incur the two Bangkok Bank transfer/receiving fees addressed at their website.  These fees are applied before posting to your Bangkok Bank account and will not appear on your bank account statement/ibanking which fools a lot of people into thinking no fees were applied...but the fees were indeed applied whether coming from a U.S. bank, usdirectexpress, or even the U.S. govt pension paying agency.  There is one way to see the two fees through by signing up for Bangkok Bank's free SMS Remittance Alert which will show the fees in the SMS they send to your when they post the funds to your account. 

 

Some folks do get around use of a Bangkok Bank Direct Deposit account for U.S. govt payments by first having it sent to their U.S. Bank (or it could be usdirectexpress) and then resending via manual or automatic transfer to their regular Bangkok Bank account.   In this transfer their is no description/underlying U.S. govt coding because now it a simple personal transfer from your U.S. bank....those funds can transfer into a regular, Direct Deposit, FCD, etc., account.   And those two Bangkok Bank fee discussed for incoming foreign transfers apply.

 

But for anyone out their using usdirectexpress using their card outside the U.S. will incur a $3 flat fee plus 3% of the amount withdrawal plus no reimbursement of the Thai ATM User fee for foreign cards which is Bt220 at most Thai banks.  That made the ATM withdrawal pretty pricey fee-wise.  The usdirectexpress card is fine and cheap to use "within" the U.S. but expensive to use (fee-wise) outside the U.S.    See their fees at the weblink.

 

Lots of good info but you can not use Bangkok Bank iBanking. You must appear in person..   

If you use a direct deposit service to receive funds from a US Government Agency, you must appear in person at a Bangkok Bank branch to withdraw the funds.

Bangkok Bank cannot authorize the withdrawal of funds from your direct deposit account by an appointed representative, or via ATM or any other electronic channel. You must appear in person at a Bangkok Bank branch to withdraw the funds. You can, however, open a normal savings or current account and transfer the funds from your direct deposit account to this account. You may then withdraw your funds as usual via ATM or any other electronic channel.

This is absolutely not true and is likely a shameful plug for the us direct express service. I have an ordinary bangkokbank account (and a usd acct) with ATM and ibanking and I send money using the NY branch all the time. There is no requirement to withdraw funds in person. 

We are talking about Social Security funds. Other funds can be sent to an ATM account.

    What if boils down to is when during an ACH transfer using your U.S. bank ibanking is using the Bangkok Bank New York branch routing number and you "in-Thailand" Bangkok Bank account number.   It's that simple.   

 

   Many U.S. persons have used this method (me included) many times and for many years for ad-hoc transfers from their U.S. banks, receipt of of benefit payment from the U.S. govt such as social security and military retirement pensions, etc. 

 

    But note if having a monthly U.S. govt payment going to Bangkok Bank you will need to open a special Direct Deposit account which the Bangkok Bank website has info on also.   I have one of those special account also in addition to some regular accounts.  

Using this method requires you to withdraw funds in person.. No ATM or iBanking.

The better approach is to open an account with US Direct Express.  https://www.usdirectexpress.com/   You can have your Gov Pension direct deposited and ACH to Bangkok Bank NY for $1.50. Now these fund can be accessed via ATM or iBanking..

I recall the hospital bringing me ice cream after having my tonsils out.. Cold must be soothing...

I must have at least 50 times from Lazada.  Everything from vitamins to 55" TV and had 1 issue.

Bought a dishwasher that was DOA. They picked it up and I had a full refund in 5 days.

OP,  Is it fulfilled by Lazada or a third party. 3rd party's can be unreliable.

You can refine your search to only items fulfilled by Lazada to insure on time delivery.

I would check the site to see if it is still available

Here is a link to Bangkok prices

I find your chart much more realistic then the prices quoted above. My wife's uncle just built a new 120 sqm house, for 1.2M. All walls are insulated concrete, bathrooms and tiles are #1. I was impressed with the builders work. And he finished on time...
