As a brit with visa-free entry to the USA, I wondered if I could go to the USA,
then border-hop to Mexico returning to N. America on a border stamp ?
And I also wondered (apart from SE Asia);
where in the world can "Visa on Arrival / Border-Hopping" be done continuously?

If you invested it, and was lucky enough to buy a 10% yield, then a frugal person could live out the rest of their days on 3 M baht.
(3M*10% = B25,000 monthly income)

In the UK I have a Whirlpool Microwave with convection oven. It's one of the higher-spec JetChef ovens with a pull down (front loading) door as oppose to side opening (swing open) door. Panasonic also do these front loaders and they have built-in inverters for better microwaving.
One of the things to look for when buying is to see how high a temperature the convection oven can actually reach. Look for at least 200 deg C with the better ones being able to go upto 220 deg C.
These appliances are able to function as pure convection ovens without any aid from the grill or microwave.
I can cook cakes, biscuits, roasts, etc., in my JetChef oven and the results truly are "oven cooked" and I'm very happy with this appliance.
Within Thailand I'd look at the Panasonic ones with built-in inverters and stainless steel clad interiors.

Backup: Yes it would be safer to do that before you start making any major changes to Windows.
What's wrong with the system that you need to restore ?
I think I know what caused the machine to act like its memory's too low. It showed genuine in the beginning and I guess an update found out that the program isn't genuine.I'm not sure if non-genuine Windows would be the reason for it to run slower.
If you have a spare slot for RAM you could double the memory for about B650 .

If you do a restore from the BIOS (safe mode) you might lose recent documents.
Do you have backups of your files ?
Perhaps you could perform a non-destructive reinstall of Windows ?
see this page for your options: https://www.winhelp.us/non-destructive-reinstall-of-windows-7.html
You're in a better posistion if you have Windows DVD and another computer at hand.

Make a note of the numbers on the other meters and see what happens in 24 hours time...
Does the air-con have a badge or plate ?
For example: A 1000 watt appliance, when used for 1 hour, should increment the meter by "1".

RE OP; Perhaps the antenna could be repositioned ?
If the antenna is orientated vertically - the signal spreads outs horizontally.
So if the antenna is pointing "towards" the cottage, it would need moving 90deg (anti)clockwise, or ideally the antenna is pointing upwards to provide a wide range of coverage at the floor level the unit is serving.

CAT premium on cable or fibre. The most transparent and robust line available and I've had the chance to try CAT, TRUE Cable and 3BB (served via a TTT line?) --all at the same time to compare connecting to I.B and CME based brokers.
CAT via DSL is robust too. TRUE Cable goes out in storms because the boxes on the street that feed the internet part don't have battery back ups (in pattaya). Make sure you have a UPS for all your kit including modem. Earthing is a good idea too.
If you're really serious about trading then get your condo as close as possible to the local CAT telecoms tower. You can also get a microwave link from CAT, you building direct to tower, but it's about 30k month.

These people are deluding themselves if they think the birds will be chirping out winning numbers every fortnight.
They might chirp on any subject and not just the lotto.

We should have a sign, handshake or similar to publicly convey our membership of ThaiVisa.
I suggest pressing your thumb against your (same sided) shoulder to other falang when out and about.
The person who received the conveyance should return the signal with the same; for the avoidance of doubt.
Puzzled; anyone who doesn't know what the signal means would eventually have to log on to ThaiVisa to find out!!

The greatest conspiracy theory would be that there's no conspiracy going on.
It would mean that the human race is a unruly, polluting, selfish species incapable of organization.
In contrast to this (suggested animal-like behavior) is the rapid urbanization of the earth's population and resources arranged in a systematic and very well organized order.
The conspiracy is so great it cannot be seen and what do most people care anyway ? --we're too busy on facebook, instagram, or the www to let our brains relax for even a moment!

As you come down Pattaya klang, just before the traffic lights onto 2nd road, there's a barbourshop on the left with female staff. Not expensive.

Thai women attitude and morals
If you think that THAI women are different to women ANYWHERE else in the world, then you're simply going to to get scammed. No two ways about it.
Be my guest and get lured in.. Just make sure you have an exit plan.

No, it doesn't explain it.
Cats and dogs are the same the world over.
Western men, not comprehending the true pain that love's mystical game can bring, think they've arrived in a paradise where they have a higher "status" or some such nonsense.
It's likely these western men (and I'm one of them) started to get the admiration in Asia which they thought they were entitled to, but denied, back home.
Of course it feels like cosmic justice has been served and the western man is now getting what he rightly and naturally deserves / needs.
The local lasses are only too happy to allow us to believe this fantasy whilst it suits them.
The truth is that your status in Asia is much the same (or lower) than back home.
What;s more; believing that all Thai women are simply prostitutes only perpetuates the handsum-man illusion and acts as a contrived stamp of approval on these sham-relationships.
If you really believe that all Thai women are prostitutes and your money will secure your happiness... then karma will kick your ass big time. The locals are surely laughing at you behind your back, watching the play of karma unfold, and even leading you to falsely believe money can secure happiness. What a joke.
The Asian women in so massively superior in the art of seduction that the hapless western men falls for it over and over. My only advice to you is listen to your gut feeling.
You think you found a good 'en? Like.... She's never even been in a bar, a virgin or only slept with one man, she has a proper job 15-25k per month, splits the bill even buys you stuff, wears cute cotton dresses, listens to western music (likes blond-eyed pop stars maybe) and dresses in farang fashion.... THESE ARE THE MOST DECEITFUL OF THEM ALL ! ---Some of the B500 short time girls are more honest than the "good girls" !!!

I agree with other posters that this is the calm before the storm hits.
She said she wanted you gone but because you care it's not that simple...
In my experience women like these will use your caring nature against you.
I think getting away from the relationship with periodic contact with our kids is sensible.
Trying to convince your wife to play "happy families" could well cause her more pain and inflame all issues further.
Instead of letting yourself become emotionally manipulated over time; it might be easier to start talking about money NOW and get to the end of this game quickly.
What's bizarre and unimaginable to you right now, is that if you moved out, rented somewhere, and got a pretty young GF, the situation might change completely: and perhaps not for the worst.
West to East is as East to West.

I had a gf like this before. Slightly superficial, but emotionally honest, great in bed.
If she were dishonest she'd create a false image of herself by purposefully making herself seem to be caring. She doesn't, therefore she sounds like a nice girl... give her time. I bet she's got a heart of gold. Lucky for you she isn't a deceitful snake. The downside for you (and herself) is that she might be easily lured away from you by a deceitful man.
Some will disagree but only because they know I'm right.

Razors & Shavers
in General Topics
Posted
All my previous issues with razor burn and ingrowing hairs stopped when I ditched multi-blade razors.
I'm shaving with a old school double sided safety razor and using "Rapira Platinum Lux" blades (mail order from Russia on eBay).
The wrapper design looks USSR, but they are consistently sharp, and I find them better than Astra platinum blades.
I use each blade once before disposal.
