    I think @Andrew Dwyer (above) has given you the info you need. Seems you may have set your keyboard to UK English, so the Shift/3 key gives the pounds sign. If you go into language settings and choose US English the Shift/3 key will give the # sign.

     

    There is no US English in my language settings, my keyboard must already be in US English.

    I use ALT 0163

     

     

    To get the pound sign (£) on a Thai keyboard, you can use the Alt key code or the number pad. Here's how:
    1. Using Alt Key Code:
    • Num Lock On: Ensure Num Lock is enabled.
    • Hold Alt: Press and hold the Alt key.
    • Type 0163: Type the numbers 0163 on the numeric keypad while holding down the Alt key.
    • Release: Release the Alt key, and the pound sign (£) should appear. 
       
    2. Alternative Method (If you have a UK or similar keyboard):
    • Shift + 3: On some keyboards (particularly UK or similar layouts), the pound sign may be directly accessible using the Shift + 3 combination. 

    I don't want the Pound sign, I want the Hash sign.

  3. Does anyone have or did have a laptop bought in Thailand and using or used it in the UK?

    I am at present in the UK and cannot get a # on my laptop to sign in for  my password to get my Wi Fi.

    On the 3 button there is a # but I cannot get it for the password. Anyone help?

    Happened here too with a buddhist monk. Was on AN.

     

    A lot of teachers, including female teachers, in the US are sexually abusing students. 

     

    Don't trust your kids with any adults ... 

     

    It is a world wide problem, not just amongst Catholics or any particular country.

    Whoever has the power and the money, has the say!!!

    It was crystal clear, before the private plane with Thaksin on board landed at Don Muang, that he never ever will face a single day in prison.

    Look at the US. There is a convicted criminal president.

    Look at Israel, their PM should have been arrested, when he visited FattyDonald in Washington under an international warrant.

    The list goes on.....

    Apparently Wild Bill Hickok had 3 ears. A left ear. A right ear. And a wild front ear. I dunno if that's true.  🤣

    That was Davy Crockett.

    Thailand is witnessing a worrying resurgence of Covid-19 cases, with over 8,446 hospital visits recorded between 27th April and 3rd May. This uptick in cases has been brought to attention by Assoc Prof Dr Thira Woratanarat, a respected public health expert from Chulalongkorn University. Bangkok has emerged as the epicentre of this latest wave, logging the highest number of new infections at 2,377, according to Dr Thira's recent analysis.

     

    Following Bangkok, other areas with significant numbers include Chonburi with 680 cases, Nonthaburi reporting 490, Rayong with 380, and Samut Prakan recording 327 cases. This resurgence underscores a pivotal challenge as the country hoped to maintain control over the Covid-19 situation.

     

    One of the notable trends in this recent surge is the age distribution of those affected. The highest infection rates are among individuals aged 30 to 39 years, accounting for 1,794 cases. Close behind are those aged 20 to 29, with 1,540 cases. Crucially, older adults over 60 also figure prominently, recording 1,536 infections. However, it is the spike in cases among very young children, aged 0 to 4, that is raising special concern, with 682 cases identified.

     

    Dr Thira has highlighted these dynamics to alert public health officials and the general public about the broader implications of this trend. He pointed out that between 4th and 7th May, Covid-19 cases were roughly double the number of influenza cases, spotlighting the severity of the current outbreak. In this period, there were 2,593 Covid-19 cases compared to 1,321 influenza cases.

     

    Worryingly, there has also been one recorded Covid-19-related death during this timeframe. The health expert warns that individuals showing symptoms right now have a two-to-one likelihood of having Covid-19 over influenza, with an estimated 67% chance of contracting the virus if symptomatic.

     

    In response to this renewed threat, Dr Thira stressed the importance of targeted precautions for vulnerable groups such as young children, school students, the elderly, and those already hospitalised. He advises that individuals, particularly those working, should make health assessments a routine to ensure both personal safety and the safety of others. Dr Thira also recommends routine screening for inpatients and those scheduled for surgery, helping to safeguard patients and medical staff within healthcare facilities.

     

    He further called on educational institutions, childcare centres, elderly care facilities, and hospitals to adopt and enforce effective risk management strategies promptly. Quick action is necessary, he emphasised, to prevent a broader outbreak that could affect diverse age groups. The call for vigilance and proactive measures aligns with a global understanding that pandemic control requires collective effort and community-wide commitment.

    Is this the medical profession trying to get rich again? If it is not this time it soon will be.

    The only men who should have beards are Santa Claus and nautical folk. 

     

    I regard anyone else with facial hair either as too lazy to shave), and that laziness probably carries across into other aspects of their life).  Or they are trying to make up for the fact that they are bald, but said beard simply makes them look silly, as if their head is upside down!

    If a guy is bald and grows a beard, I call it the head upside down look.

    Why is that that most tourists and expats, men and women. Farangs, asians or else do have tattoos? 

    And not a small one but clearly visible and obnoxious ones.

    In the West for instance, you almost never see those. But here young and old people are full of it.

    I would say it’s almost 1 on 2 who are covered with tatts.

    Why does Thailand attracts primarly those people? Knowing that in their culture is not perceived as good. Huge paradox…

    Also tattoos people have a high tendency to be degenerate. And most are sadly. Not the cream of the crop…

    So why is like this? Any theory or explanation? On why they’re attracts here. 

     

     

    I am almost certain these tattooed people will have a very low IQ, they are nothing more than sheep who follow the flock and with very little brains. Will you see well educated people in good jobs following the flock? I very much doubt it.

    Same applies to the shirtless, big bellied, big titted brigade.

    I've taken Alprazolam (aka Xanax) in past. It gave me some weird dreams 75% of the times that I used it. That stopped me off from asking for more.

     

    10 baht per pill? I'd be extremely suspicious even though it came from the Doctor.  (But who's your Doc? I'd like to get some Lorazepam (aka: Travan, Antivan) that cheap). 😂👍

    I checked again, it was actually 50 Bt for the packet of eight, not eighty Bt.
