Which browser are you using?

Are you using a smart phone, or an android box, or a smart TV, or a mini PC, or a laptop or?

Have you cleared your cache?

How about fmovies24.to/home?

Have you tried an alternative server?

 

 

 

I'm using Opera browser.

An acer Desktop.

My cache always gets cleared.

I don't know anything about servers, I never thought about them although I have noticed them. any particular one I should use?

I will try fmovies24.to/home and get back to you.

As someone affected by frozen pensions, I have never advocated for the policy.

"No, it's not "theft" ". What is that then?

There are a few malicious fmovies clones out there so please be careful.

 

I have personally used fmovies24.to without any issues.

It doesn't work Jai Dee. Everything comes up "this video file cannot be played" ( error code 232011).

I downloaded a "different" version of FMovies as the previous one said "This video cannot be played", that applied to them all. This one is called FMovies.to. It is probably the same one. They say it is free, but it is not. I wanted to watch a tv series and the first thing they did was ask for my name, address etc.

I printed it out and started the show I wanted to watch. Immediately it stopped and I was asked for 74 Baht then they wanted my credit card details, I refused to comply as I don't trust them due to previous experience.

Does anyone still watch any version of FMovies now? Did you pay or what?

Difficult to see when you enter the tunnel, your eyes take a second to adjust from the blazing sunshine to almost darkness, not good if there is a motorbike just beyond the shadows, safer for them not to be allowed in the tunnels.

Bigger bikes over 250cc should be able to go where cars can go.

Most countries understand that slow motorbikes should not use roads where traffic is very fast. Better to allow those with 200-250 cc engines up as they can keep up. I see policemen on the expressways in Bangkok riding their 125 cc bikes on the hard shoulder. I have ridden bikes on European motorways at 100 mph without trouble. I fear Thais are just not trained to do that at present.

You cannot train stupid.

I think many (most, all) new bikes have the lights on all the time, or automatically switched on.

The police could enforce this - if they would want to do it.

I pass a highway police station at least once a week and there is always at least one highway patrol car parked there. No prizes for guessing what the cars crew are doing when they should be out patrolling the highway helping to keep it safe.

In which case one must carefully consider whether they should leave the UK.  I have heard many foreigners say they have no health insurance, but  would return to their home country if they needed healthcare.  In many cases  that is not possible, when they are suddenly struck down with a health problem.

There are times in life when you have to take chances. You cannot live all your life being mollycoddled.

The reason is very simple: Tony Blair and Gordon Brown stole the British State Pension Fund as well as selling off most of the country's Gold. They also closed all the military hospitals (they would have been very handy during times of pandemics) with promises that veterans would be top priority but with a sneaky clause "upto doctors discretion". State Pensions are now generated by those working. So all our contributions are gone and all those still Working, their contributions are stolen to pay the current pensioners.

"Tony Blair and Gordon Brown stole the British State Pension Fund", and they are not even "Sirs".

I hope all these people of the working class think about this when they are voting for this "Tory" multimillionaire.

We all know how unfair the system is, but Thailand does not have a treaty with the UK like the Philippines. If she returns to the UK, her pension will be updated to the current level, which begs the question: If she left again in six months, would she keep the new rate here?

I doubt it. If she left again she would be better keeping quiet about it.

Why?

Why?? Because it is theft, that's why. To my Knowledge there is no UK PM who has made any comment on this, and don't tell me they don't know about it.

No UK government wants that reciprocal arrangement, regardless of how easy it may be to implement!

Every UK PM in the last 70 years who is still alive should be arrested and charged with theft.

Anyone know what's happened to FM Movies? This is the second day that this notice has appeared every time you want to watch a TV series episode?

"This video file cannot be played".

(error code 232011).

Everythings all changed now. Both Pirate Bay and Todays torrents. Used to get on to qBittorent with them, now cannot. Anyone else having problems here or is it just me?

How about we tier the VAT, 0% on anything under B1500 (to help the poor), keep it at 7% on everything up to say B1.5 million (help the middle-class), then 25% on everything over B1.5 million, that should hit the superrich where it hurts.

But is it not the superrich who make the rules? They are not going to penalise themselves.

Are you saying that you personally cannot transfer funds using your mobile app or that the bank has a new policy of stopping all transfers from overseas?

Are some bank staff not a bit like IO's with different staff members telling you different things?

*No income taxes on foreign sourced income for expatriates

*No changes to conditions for retirement extensions, which now appears in the works

*Subsidies for electricity bills

*Gave us a fully operational online 90 day notification system that works

*Was able to thread the needle in foreign policy between China and the USA

*No mass shutting down of banking apps on phones

*Control of Covid when it counted most

 

 

 

Very strong Baht compared to the GBP. About 50 Bt to GBP in 2014, down to about 40 Bt to GBP between 2014 and the next 9 years. Now up to almost 47 Bt to GBP. The unelected PM and his soldiers at that time were obviously manipulating the Baht when they were in power, probably to be to their own financial advantage.

It has got worse the last ten years.

I don’t care if I never go back ever. Which is why I sold up and moved here.

 

If there is a better country to live I would be open to it if I could take my girlfriend.

 

If you take away some ridiculous immigration issues Thailand is still much better than the UK ie no council tax, no TV license, in most cases, no authorities to worry about if you want to improve or add to your property, power bills very cheap compared to the UK etc.

It takes years to learn the language. I studied it intensively for 9.5 years before moving here. The idea you can move to some rural village and "immerse" yourself in the language is a total myth. The only way that could even happen would be if your domestic partner and you only spoke Thai at home, which is clearly not the case. 99% of the guys I've ever met in rural Thailand who speak English with their spouse never get out of the starting blocks in terms of learning Thai. Chances are you're going to be very socially isolated, no matter how much you like Thai people. 

"Chances are you're going to be very socially isolated,"

That can be very true. When I first arrived here to stay 18 years ago I made lots of friends and aquaintances, now they have all died or moved away and I am on my own. The good thing is I have a happy marriage and family life.

Also, apart from the very odd two or three, there are a lot of posters here on AN who will be very helpful to you with any problems you might encounter.

That is why I thought a Educational visa might be a good one.

They teach you Thai and give you a visa. 

I was speaking to a guy yesterday who has been here over 15 years and never bothered to learn Thai. It will make life a lot easier for me I think. 
 

I really like Thai people.

Just wait until you start riding a motorbike or driving a car. Yes, the Thai people in the vast majority of cases are honest and decent, just a pity about that, as I said, vast majorities road behaviour.

I recommend the retirement visa.

Avoid the marriage visa, unless you cannot afford the 800K deposit for the retirement visa.

See an agent. Do not bother with those who say it is illegal, it is not, if it was all the agents would have been shut down years ago, and just ignore any "saddo" emo's this answer will probably get.

Not sure if Starmer is the right leader, but hope Labour will support the NHS and the poor (no more food banks!). Britain needs a government focused on people. 

True, but it certainly won't with a multimillionaire "Sir" leading the "party of the working class". Every Labour leader in my adult life time has been nothing but a hypocrite and liar worse than any Tory.

No Tory yet has ever led the country to bankruptcy. Remember 1976 and the International Monetary Fund?

WALK AWAY no matter WHAT the ethnicity or the circumstances. You WILL NOT WIN.....unless you are Thai.

I have never had any altercation with any Thai, but then I don't drink and don't frequent bars or go out in the middle of the night. As for Thai's, they are the biggest of cowards, and as I have already said, if any farang made any sort of sexual play for my wife or her daughter there would have been consequencies.

The point is being fed up with the Tories and their PMs acting like clowns. Or clowns acting as PMs?

So, Starmer got his chance. He can only win.🙏

One lot is as bad as the other, but Labour are more hypocritable. The party of the working class???
