Spicy is subjective according to the taste and familiarity and acclimatisation with spicy foods. What the chef or some diehard Isaan or Souther Thai ( they seem to like the really spicy stuff) might consider normal might blow the socks of someone who has never eaten spicy food. e.g. When I used to regularly eat Som Tum with a group of Thai's might chilli count went up to seven. The Thais were eating ten, fifteen, or more. Can't do it now though, as don't eat it so much.

I am still getting the Invision 4 page whenever I enter the www.aseannow.com web address. The only way I can access the site is by doing a google search for aseannow.

Don’t know if this has already been reported, but as title says, Bangkok Airways hacked and customers information accessed. They recommend changing passwords and beware of anyone contacting.

Same as you, I have never needed to enter a username or password. Just always opened the app on my iPhone. After today’s update it would not open and asked for username and password. I finally found my yellow book and got my 13 digit ID number for foreigners. Used that with ‘forgot password’ to create a new password. Received a one time password to do this…all good until trying to login again without success. When I press login a screen full of computer code flashes up. See a few lines below for any code savvy members. It does show my ID number and name in the code, so there must be some sort of error. Cannot screenshot for some reason. DatabaseExceptionErrorDomain=FMDatabase Code=1”table user has no column named dspname “UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=table user has no column named dspname})sql ‘INSERT INTO user (id, pid, pid_enc, dspname, dspename, passcode, biometric, http_token) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) args…

Heads up! Noticed there was an update for the Mor Prom app on my iPhone this morning. Did the update and now is asking for Citizen ID / User number and Password. Never happened before with previous updates. As I recall, there was a 13 or 14 digit registration number as User ID. I don’t think there was ever a Password, so maybe have to re-register before being able to open the app. Might be better not to update for now.

Seeing as Christmas is coming, I thought I would maybe treat myself to some Hayward’s Piccalilli. Goes well with cheese and cold meats. But boy was I shocked at the price. Now I know we have to pay a premium for imported western foodstuffs, and I do often order UK foods from Food Variety etc, but the cheapest prices on Lazada ranged from THB557 to over THB800 per 400g jar. That’s almost £14-£20. UK varies from £1 to £3.18 according to price check. See attached. Anyone know why some imported items are marked up so much more than others here?

Yes. But only on the Christmas tree.

I remember that a few years ago, Bangkok Bank ceased offering Visa Debit cards. They replaced them with either MasterCard or Union Pay. I saw somewhere today that they are now offering both a Visa M Debit Card and a Visa M virtual debit card. The M seems to stand for a tie up with the Mall Group, giving some special offers to cardholders.

Saw in the news that this merger has been approved. As a happy 3BB customer, I cannot see anything good coming of this. Even though the NBTC has put a price cap on AWN (AIS internet subsidiary) increasing prices for five years, I can’t help thinking this will create a more expensive, possibly lesser quality service. AIS is already more expensive than 3BB. Thailand does seem to love a monopoly.

OP. Not saying you are wrong, but Google’s suggestions might just be location based. if you had previously searched for a restaurant, it might just be a suggestion sent based on your location. if you have Google Maps running on your phone, they can probably track you by that.

It’s not just the phone companies. There were several reports, both in the U.K. and US about all those Chineses manufactured security cameras having ‘back doors’ in them Apparently, even if the camera and microphone were turned off, it was still possible to listen in on conversations in the rooms where they were places. I think the U.K. government were warned to remove them from many buildings and / or offices. The US likewise.

Likely extremely drunk. Makes some people belligerant and violent. Charges probably won't amount to much. Unless the victims of assault press charges. The Thais don't like it when one of their own is attacked by a foreigner. If so, that alone might get him kicked out.

Someone somewhere must be rubbing their hands with glee, thinking all their Christmas's have come early. Thailand should invest in more, bigger solar projects for a start. Offer better incentives to encourage domestic solar installation as well. Tighten up on diesel emissions too. Far too many vehicles spewing thick, black smoke.

I would be surprised if a life sentence will be handed down. This is Thailand after all. But then again, after the Siam Paragon shooting the government might want to send a message. I suppose it all depends on how well connected, or wealthy the family is.

So it wasn't a sinkhole. It was a manmade tunnel cum storm drain. The driver was very lucky. If he had gone in and dropped 8 metres, he would like likely have been killed.

i haven't looked at any of these myself, just seen adverts, but what about Rabbit Line Pay or Grab Pay for local stuff? Would these do the same thing as True Money? I think AIS have some sort of payment system as well.

i have had two Nespresso machines. Convenient to make a quick coffee, but works out expensive. Those pods are over 28THB each, plus postage unless you buy over a certain amount. First one lasted two years. The second one still OK, but only the GF uses it. To keep cost down, I tried some reuseable stainless Nespresso capsules from Amazon, but it was too much hassle. Similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Triplot-Reusable-Capsules-Nespresso-OriginalLine/dp/B09R1FTR4D/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=reusable+pods+for+nespresso&qid=1699318901&sr=8-3 There are several different makes and models of these machines now, all with their own proprietry shaped capsules. The Dolce Gusto one is everywhere here, but I don't know how expensive or not the capsules are.

01:55. 5 mins before cut off time: Barman. Four beers please. I will pay now. Can you keep them in the fridge for me? Maybe put my name on them? Job done.

Sourdough loaf in Tops now looks like a large bread roll. Must be almost 50% smaller than it used to be.

Carry a bluetooth speaker with you and drown them out. But seriously. Even noise cancelling earphones won't be enough. You would probably need a pair of good quality, over the ear noise cancelling headphones. The best are probably Bose Quiet Comfort, but I bought some decent ones from Aliexpress: Edifier WH950NB for about THB5500. Bluetooth, and the noise cancelling is very good. I often wear them at home while watching tv so I don't disturb the daughter doing her studying or homework. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004989019217.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.singleImageText_2004329687392.0

There is this for Android Tv. Not tried it yet as i need to side load it to my Nvidia Shield. https://smarttubenext.com it isn't really an ad blocker per se. But it will block Youtube ads.

It was great to see these two Thai legends in the ring together, but the size and weight difference was so obvious. Buakaw was always going to be too powerful for Saenchai. The Haggerty v Andrade fight the night before was the better one to watch.

That will work about as well as the Cannabis only for medical purposes law

I imagine they prefer peacock feathers. Chicken is too lo-so.

I was looking at prices for Youtube Premium. Just out of interest, the cheapest country for this is Turkey at $1.11/month. According to this website, it is possible to buy in Turkey using a VPN to get said price: https://vpn.nsspirt-cashf2.com/the-best-way-to-get-youtube-premium-cheaper-via-turkey/ Though it should be the same through any VPN.
