While I was forced to stay in capital city Sakon Nakhon for several weeks I bought the cheapest available cooker at BigC for warming food coming out of my fridge (see picture). My most favourate cooks are not always available late in the evening and in the weekends, so my food must be bought in the mornings. No bells and whistles here.

Performed a comparison test (see picture below) using a VPN server in Bangkok while actually being 'in the sticks' in Issan at approximately 40 km distance of Laos. Btw. the VPN server of Laos of ExpressVPN happens to be located in Khon Kaen. Strangely, speedtest outcomes show that network wise I'm closer located to Bangkok than Khon Kaen while being physically more close to Khon Kaen. Unless, of course, Laos has also a place named Khon Kaen, which I was not able to find yet, in Laos. Please don't get upset by the numbers I found. I do not have the intention to startup a speedcontest. In relation to redONE following notions apply: a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a wireless communications services provider that does not own the wireless network infrastructure over which it provides services to its customers. An MVNO enters into a business agreement with a mobile network operator (MNO) to obtain bulk access to network services at wholesale rates, then sets retail prices independently. Due to less overhead being more cheap. That's a well known fact. Hardware of Thailand MNOs and its speeds have already been discussed in this thread. However, generally, download speeds of a MVNO using a MNO are always lower or by exception at its best equal to the maximum speeds available of the network of the MNO applied In this case probably TOTs 3G and 4G. Thus far, personally, for my usage, regarding redONE, I do have no complaints yet here 'in the stcks' in Issan quite close to Laos. Coverage isn't a problem for me. Luckily for me those problems seem to belong to the past when we were forced to use large antennas here on our houses. Experienced no problem in capital city and province Sakon Nakhon and no problems in Udon Thani and no problems in-between. Number of towers of MNOs have increased rapidly during the last 10 years.

This thread seems to focus itself mainly upon only three mobile operators (AIS, TRUE and NT) of which two of them currently have relative large market shares. Thailand (NBTC) seeks to create four new MVNOs by 2026. That's sufficient reason for adding my Thai postpaid SIM card of redONE which applies theirs unlimited package (approx. 700 Baht per month), which hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread about Unlimited SIM cards. RedONE is currently one of the few Mobile Virtual Network Operators in Thailand. An apk of corresponding app is available for doing monthly payments online. Believe during their introduction in Thailand their postpaid packages were the cheapest one available...

In May all birds lay an egg ... ;-)

1923, first season, consisting of multiple parallel running storylines. Look forward to the second season which most likely fills in the missing second half of the first season.

Theoretically, it should be possible to show Closed Caption subtitles. These subtitles function like a kind of sidecar and consists of a bunch of transparent bitmaps in png format (one for each subtitle) plus a few extra files describing a track of subtitles, all stored together in a zip-file. In that case font MS ArialUni would not be needed. Did some experiments, but haven't seen it working yet in the latest version of Kodi on android device Nvidea Shield Pro tv. I must be doing something wrong. Other approach with font MS ArialUni works well.

FYI, take a look at website www.subtitlecat.com It requires a bit of manual labor. After you've entered a title and actually uploaded .srt file contents, then actual contents can be translated to the language of your choice and generated .srt file can be downloaded manually. Not only includes Thai language, but many more. My advice is initially to take an English .srt file as source.

FYI, monitors happen to exist at a world-wide scale which can be checked on a smartphone (but these do not currently count particles at nano size level): https://www.iqair.com/th-en/thailand
