For some locals and myself โคตรฮิต is an excellent internet source for broadening my apparently quite limited knowledge and scope of presently available mainstream movies and for finding other movies you may like and want to see together with friends and family.

After having watched too many Disney cartoons me and my kids became quite quickly addicted to the stylish little bit different Japanese Ghibli cartoons, such as e.g. "Castle in the Sky."

7am or pm until midnight???

Given that choice, brilliant physicists may prefer 7am, but on this special day I will be following my wife and children, so do not expect to arrive and settle down somewhere at the Mekong river before 12am ( noon ).

throw-away society and quo vadis ...

Connected an outdoor waterproof WiFi speaker system ( Electo DSS-35, max. distance 150 meters ) to a laptop. Maybe they're also available somewhere in Thailand. Did not pay more than € 20.

One requirement or factor which is not discussed yet is the availability of sufficient water. A relative old looking Haier AWT-120LI Twin-Tub washing machine keeps on running under extreme circumstances, whereas a Samsung WA90F3 washing machine having a much modern look will simply stop functioning. Both top-loaders.

As far as I am aware all automatic washing machines have a pressure switch be they top or front loaders. The cycle will not continue until such time as that pressure switch indicates that sufficient water has been loaded. No point in agitating if there is no water in the drum. The twin tub I presume is purely manual so the makers will presume you will not continue unless there is sufficient water.

More accurately: sufficient clean water ... Haier advices the following inside their manual AWT-120LI: "Do not store water in the tub for a long period. Discharge the water immediately after each using." The unconventional method of repeatedly using scented water will for example apply to a sweaty environment where clothes start to smell but did not get the chance to collect dirt too much by simply keep on changing all clothes at least once a day.

Speaking about donuts (doughnuts):

Did you know that the donut is actually of Dutch descent? The old Dutch donuts of the first settlers in America were the basis for the current trendy donuts.

Mmmmm Olliebollen in Thailand - Yum yum!

http://www.memock.com/tag/oliebollen-in-thailand/

"Oliebollen" do remind me of my own far away past, in which the Dutch term "Oliebollen" was in use in our local semiconductor industry by a project leader to refer to other perfectly shaped all-round characters at work in other research departments, all being capable of accomplishing many smart things, except reducing friction. Btw. I do have an interesting looking picture too here of some home-made Dutch oliebollen. Indeed, not perfectly shaped, but I guess this is how they should look like:

And, of course, I wish that lady a lot of success too with running her business ...

an atypical water container, such as for example the extremely rare water bottle on the left, simply does not feel right, so requiers more attention and care than others:

Guess life being less addicted to civilizing influences of others offers so much more degrees of freedom.

Large white box having a yellow sticker is not exactly a WiFi box, but a box hardwired, via relative short ADSL lines, to TP-Link WiFi routers, present inside homes.

Consequently, local available internet speed actually improved. That's wonderful good news.

However, at the same time, the newest AIS ( 12Call ) internet [ smartphone ] SIM cards of 2013 do not seem to work anymore inside my good old Nokia USB dongles. Was allowed to tryout one of their SIM cards inside an internet shop at Bangkok International Airport.

Picture of Remote Control MITSUBISHI RMA502A001:

For me personally this maybe relative old remote control is quite difficult to find on the internet [ and in shops ( tried Udon Thani, Ban Dung and Ban Muang ) in the North East ] in Thailand.

Direct pointer somewhere in Thailand to exactly the device mentioned here above will be most welcome. Thank you in advance.

at our home in Sakon N. people are allowed to call me an armchair specialist, however, presently, reading in the mobile bath tub holding a sufficient number of cube-shaped pieces of ice would be one of todays most pleasurable activities while waiting for an upgrade in umbrella technology to improve my reading skills while in shower lol

Pointer to OP: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/213133-issan-internet-radio/?p=2221593

Sakon Nakhon: rstream.mcot.net:8086

More Thai internet radio stations can be found at the exact same internet address rstream.mcot.net by trying out even port numbers ranging from 8000 up to and 8104 (e.g. Khon Kean @ 8026, Nong Khai @ 8088, Udon @ 8090, Surin @ 8102, Ubon @ 8104, etc...)...

How can people not see that this is (an attempt) at satire?

Strongly depends upon knowledge and personal experiences (sensitivities) of local histories on our planet. More explicitly, not being able to see that this is (an attempt) at satire is definitely a lack of knowledge, appreciation, care and love for e.g. Polish sci-fi satire.Specifically, a lilliput band operating from within and travelling in a closed bird cage reminds me of an excellent almost 3 decades old fantastic movie comedy, in which two characters, Maks and Albert, are told that Einstein was a woman and a man named Cain invented murder and tested it on his sister Abel. Later on they discover that not everything - if anything - is as it seems. A rather old question, whether or not there's something above Kingsajz, returned again...

are there any alternatives ?

That's sorta kinda what this thread is about? Have you reviewed the other suggested options?

If you like Google Maps maybe just spring for a mobile data connection, as it may be cheaper and easier than purchasing a solution or learning a new app/interface?

mapfactor navigator

voice

no connection required - no data or wifi

works well

Thank you for the suggestion, but it will not work well for me yet.

Mapfactor Navigator is based upon OpenStreetMap. I understand and appreciate the idea, but, presently, OpenStreetMap is not sufficient accurate ( elaborate ) enough ( in comparison to other already available maps ) for the presumably far too remote relative less popular ( received no attention yet of other OpenStreetMap users ) area in which I'm living in Thailand ...

Thank you very much for the link: guess both "tunnelexperts" have quite familiar faces ...

Rethink … what?

At governmental level the people already became shareholders of a pretty large dept.

Will further entrenchment* (of the people’s money) sufficiently fertilize economy?

Maybe somebody simply suggested a change from gold to wind and other more profitable forms of farming…

* managerial entrenchment of Weisbach (1988) comes to mind…

John D. Lui's Green Gold comes to mind

to be fair, the rain, an average day here in this season, disappeared very quickly. a real non new story,but then again a very slow news week. did we miss the cat rescue and the dog stuck between two buildings? as to the police, well they come out on parade EVERY day, .. as said, news is slow..

heavy rain may disappear more quickly than the water to be drained ... up in the north [east] I learned stopping our pickup car, get out, and pickup fish with my bare hands for loading our empty plastic bags ... and, then, when I’m not capable anymore of looking through the front window of our car, I´m not the only one, having enough time on my hands, for inspecting roads ... as to the police, doesn´t that parade occur in an area having a relative large police academy with maybe a new fresh load of students struggling for approximately a year to pass their newest exams and getting to their new destinations ;-) ... nothing wrong with having a well trained body and corresponding healthy spirit ... as to the news, almost everybody owns a cell phone, so, I wouldn´t worry too much ... really bad news always travelled relative fast ... the time we were waiting for horses to come is long gone ... at my age my memory is a bit confused, does not a well known story exist about a prince on a white horse somewhere… not sure, but maybe following picture applies ( enjoy the corresponding thoughts you may or may not experience while placing it in the context of the arrival of new news, maybe it´s some kind of reflection I´m capable of seeing in my rear mirror when I ask myself who´s doing all the work here )

and, of course, no news is good news ... when my family doesn´´t pickup the phone it´s not due to the heavy rain but because of feared consequences of picking up their phones in case of lightning .,. ... at my age I´m also not so perfect anymore and have also to do a lot of additional learning myself... good luck to you all ...

Dear Thaivisa owner,

Not satisfied? Want to try a different partner for free ? Here's a screen capture of one of the Advertisements taken from Thaivisa:

Maybe it is simply a matter of [ my personal ] taste... thank you but I’m not interested… I want to dislike / remove specifically this Advertisement in Thaivisa, and, actually, I imagine I’m not the only one who is not amused and finds the suggestion ( in Dutch ) quite disgusting ( for the two ladies involved as well ). And, please, don't tell me that this is ***my*** problem, so nothing can be done about this "problem."

Kind regards,

Jac.

Dear fellow Thaivisa member, thank you very much for the like... ...

... managed to add my contributing of what I have to say today into the additional screen capture itself, so it's much more hard to located by presently existing software ...

More than one week ago my youngest son went a few times to a local hospital in the upper part of the North East ( Ban Muang ) for monitoring his blood. Glad it turned out to be a false alarm and he’s feeling fine again.

Here's a recent, but quite different "Fight the bite!" vid Enjoy, and take care...

Rgds,

Jac.

A relative high concentration of registered resorts can be found at the intersection of principal highway 22 and regional secondary highway 222. When driving up the 222 towards Wanon Niwat the number drops rapidly. Can not help you more specifically because I'm from a neighbouring district further up north and only paying regular visits to their hospital in Wanon Niwat. Finding access to a suitable family kitchen and a sleeping place becomes much easier when you take your time, drive around, and talk to the locals.
