Have you asked them why? It seems some devices from some providers don't work in bridge-mode, even if it is an option in the menu. My provider, TRUE, supplied me with a different device which does support bridge more.

How do these women know they want western guys when they don't even know how to meet them? Like: Oh, I saw these nice guys in some Hollywood movies. That's what I want. Until reality hits them. Western guys are different from Thai guys, often in many more ways than the women want or like. And obviously there is no such thing as the typical western guy. We are all different. Good luck, ladies. You need it.

"Your version of Windows is illegal."
OneMoreFarang replied to Confuscious's topic in IT and Computers
Correct. There is no logical reason. This is Thailand. Don't try to find logic where is no logic. You won't find what was never there. -
No answer until now so let me try: One earth cable like in your drawing should do the job. But if you want to make sure that even in bad scenarios there are no problems, then separate cables are definitely better. If you ask for Thai regulations: I don't know if it is according to regulations.

Thaksin puzzled by Chuwit’s allegations
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I thought Thaksin is a retired man who only cares about his grandchildren. Why should he know about any secret political deals? Or did he lie when he said he quit politics? Is he possible still the leader of PT? Wouldn't that be illegal? -
If you think all is dead, then touch all the wires. Are you scared to do that? Remember, it's all off. What I do sometime is to touch wires with a swipe of my hand. If they are life I will know. But because I swipe my hand the contact will be only for a fraction of a second, no big risk. After I did that, I feel more confident that the wires are really dead.

Can you believe this is a PRISON !
OneMoreFarang replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What is the goal? If the goal is to integrate criminals at some stage back into society, then, I guess, it makes sense to train them to be integrated. If the goal is just to lock them up, then don't be surprised if they never integrate back into society. I saw that, or a similar documentary, long version, some time ago. It seemed to make sense. And it seems they are mostly successful with that approach. -
Out of curiosity, what motivates you to get a tattoo? Or maybe a very specific tattoo?

Where would you retire -- if money wasn't an issue?
OneMoreFarang replied to gargamon's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I would live where I live. Maybe in a newer and bigger condominium in the same area. Maybe I would have an additional place somewhere on a nice beach. But then, I could also stay in a luxury hotel on any nice beach. That would probably be more convenient. I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to move to anywhere far away. Because that would include not knowing the area, not knowing the people, moving away from the people we know and like to see, moving away from the good restaurants which I know already, etc. I don't think place A is so much better than place B. It depends on where we feel comfortable, maybe since many years. -
What is the percentage of "Foreighners" in Thailand?
OneMoreFarang replied to swissie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
In how many countries are foreigners really welcome? Sure, if the Italian chef moves to town or the skilled foreign doctor that is fine. But how many "locals" really welcome those ordinary people from other countries? Thais are not different from others around the world that they like their own culture and are wary of outside influences. I don't blame them. Some influences are interesting and welcome. But unfortunately, there are lots of foreigners who move to developing countries and who then try to show the locals how to do things "the right way"... -
What is the percentage of "Foreighners" in Thailand?

And you will get a confident answer. And maybe it is correct. For the record: I know ChatGPT does amazing things. But it is also known to present wrong information like facts. -
I didn't read all the posts until now, maybe that was mentioned already: You can buy a USB voltage and current meter, something like this: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/aideepen-usb-12-led-i1657546591-s4614678191.html That will show you with which voltage and current your phone is charged. It depends on the adapter, cable and phone. And sometimes the adapters and cables don't deliver what they promise. The above link is just a sample, I never used that specific device.

Thanks for your information so far. The picture is from my unit, after we removed the old ceiling and before installing the new ceiling. With the ceiling installed it doesn't look that bad. I guess the same is the case in many buildings. We (my Thai renovation manager) will ask the professional company when they are here. Let's see what they say. Maybe part of their current visit to the building is that they replace sprinklers in the public section, I don't know. Let's see.

The sprinkler heads in my condominium unit look old and ugly. If possible, I would like that they will be replaced with new heads. I know this is nothing for DIY and nothing for the "normal technicians" in the building. I just saw a sign in the lift that next week some specialist company will come to our building to inspect the sprinkler system and smoke detectors. I guess I will speak to them, or the management, if they can check and maybe change the sprinklers in my unit. Does anybody of you have any experience with this? Is it a major project because the system has to be shut down so that there is no pressure on the lines? Or are there just ordinary valves somewhere and it should be easy to "switch off" just a small area? Is it complicated? Is it expensive? Thanks for any information.
