  1. Please can anyone advise what the score is on taking a PCX scooter on Seatran ferry Nathon - Donsak? Can I just turn up? Or need to book because it's high season? I looked on the website and it says "Large motorbike and rider." Nothing about scooters. TIA
  2. The braided cables usually last longer than the plain ones.
  3. Trump is right to crack down on immigration and government fraud and waste, but his empirical desires for Greenland, Canada and Gaza, and his tariffs against both friends and enemies will bring only grief. The EU is now looking to Canada for LNG as they no longer trust the US., Canadians are on a "Don't buy American" spree, China is restricting the sale of Rare Earth minerals to the US, and also adding it's own counter tariffs, and we haven't even got to all the other countries adding theirs yet. Going back to gold instead of the USD has already been pushed by BRICS. Could it get more headwind in the near future because of Trump's actions? A trade war is no good for anyone. Even industry bosses that voted for D.T. are saying this.
  4. Oh external phones lenses can run to hundreds of dollars. Have a look around Reeflex. Only one of several companies making such products: https://reeflexstore.com/products/g-series-lenses-full-set I have a phone case that takes a 17mm mount, so some of these lenses would actually fit, if I could afford them. 😀
  5. You would probably need to buy a case that has the appropriate mount for that lens. Maybe have a look at the following site. I believe their products are available on both Lazada and Aliexpress. not sure if they do for your phone though. https://neewer.com/collections/samsung-series Also, this might help:
  6. A nighttime macro photo taken with a phone? For a handheld shot, does the phone have image stabilisation? Was it turned on? To give you every chance of success under those conditions, you should probably use a tripod due to narrow depth of field.. Also, depending on the settings available in the phone's camera, you might want to download a "Camera App" that offers more control.
  7. Is there a reason why all outgoing US Presidents don't have their Security Clearance rescinded? Seems to me to be more secure that way. Just like any other job. Musk will definitely make massive savings for the gov't, USAID being a prime example, but giving him and his minions, all unelected, read / write access to both code and classified data at the Treasury just seems wrong on so many levels. Especially if they likely have a "Get Out of Jail Free Card" a.k.a. a Presidential Pardon to cover them to at the end of Trump's term.
  8. Some people just don't know keep quiet. He was a billionaire at one point, but he rants made big companies cut their ties to him. Looks like he hasn't learnt his lesson. As for Diddy, if innocent until proven guilty, why does the US keep detainees in a remand centre that I have seen described as hell on earth?
  9. Not everybody. Sometimes a wai and THB500 is enough.
  10. Yes. Should be easy to follow n that bright pink t-shirt.
  11. I opened an email account just for dealing with Thai immigration a few years ago. alien_visitor@ I was going to put it on my extension application, but chickened out as I thought it might not go down too well.
  12. I thought Donald's first pet project for the White House would be installing a McDonalds. 😀
  13. Cocaine, just like alcohol can be taken by many without getting addicted. But just like alcoholics, many succumb to addiction.. The problem I can see is, if they legalise cocaine, criminal gangs would have almost unfettered access to the main ingredient for making crack, which is far more addictive and dangerous, and other such manufactured cocktails.
  14. Labour have done themselves no favours. especially removing the winter fuel allowance, and paying the train drivers wage demands. Starmer is two faced. In this modern age, with every speech politicians make likely to be recorded, his flip flopping to suit his agenda is widely published in the media. Nowadays both Labour and the Conservatives full of nonentities. Where are the political heavyweights of old?
  15. Isn't Elon Musk already looking at introducing AI systems via DOGE into the US government workings to supposedly make them more efficient and reduce staffing levels?
  16. This is probably one of the best you can get without buying the Nvidia Shield https://www.lazada.co.th/products/mecool-official-mecool-km2-plus-deluxe-ram-4gb-ddr4-32gb-emmc-android-tv-box-i5087145533.html
  17. Not sure if this is true, but I read somewhere on here that if you apply for a Driving Licence using a Yellow Book, said licence will all be in Thai. I recently went a changed my passport number on my D/L, so a name change shouldn't be any more difficult. Remember. You will need to take all copies of documents again. Two of each if also changing motorcycle D/L.
  18. To quote Corporal Jones: "They don't like it up 'em Mr. Mainwaring sir!"
  19. They should copy Elon Musk's idea of putting a Tesla into space. Maybe send a Tuk Tuk. Anything Elon can do, we can do better. But jokes aside, Thailand might do better putting a satellite up there to track all the annual field burning, to try and fight the smog rather than radiation from the Moon.
  20. Ease up. Doing that is what got her pregnant at 16.
  21. THB230,000 to seat 3 people? That's over THB75,000/seat. A nice little earner for someone. Save the money installing real time tracking and build an app for that.
  22. Donald wants Canada, Greenland, Panama and Gaza. Why not just add Chagos Islands / Diego Garcia to the list?
  23. You may literally be able to do that soon.. I know Apple has an Energency Satellite call system in the US, but I read this article bellow from Vodafone: where it should be possible to make calls and use internet from the back of beyond. Will probably not even be restricted to high end phones. https://www.vodafone.com/news/technology/vodafone-makes-historic-satellite-video-call-from-a-smartphone
