Been trying to do it online for the last few days. Would be very happy if I could even get into the system to let me do it

I keep reading these bad experiences on TV forum ....

*BUT* on 15th (Monday) I went online for very first time, filled out the form and submitted it.  Later around 3pm, on very SAME DAY, I got an email stating that I was approved.  I went back to immigration website, entered in my info to retrieve my approval and then printed them out.  It was fairly straight-forward process.

Apparently, NVidia shield production was impacted by pandemic (although production is now being resumed).  Before the craziness, they were readily available on Lazada (although Thai price were generally 20% or more higher than USA price - but not crazy high, 44000 baht, like the link provided by someone else in this thread).

Google pulse-clinic ... they have their detailed lab tests with price information on website.  Or Red Cross AIDS research centre ... also detailed info on website.

The Diplomat Sathorn was constructed with fibre wired to each room. There is a fibre optic socket in the wall of the living rooms. The operator is True. You can have AIS, etc, but they have to use the copper cabling to each room.

I was hoping that some of the newer condos (especially by Sansiri or Noble) would be fully fibre optic ready.

I live at The Prime 11 on Sukhumvit Soi 11, and I can tell you that our building is 100% fibre optic capable to each rooms as in the last year we upgraded the wiring. Also you have the option to chose which provider you want to use. This is my speed right now using speedtest.net

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.  What package are you subscribed to, if I may ask?  It looks like you are using AIS as ISP.

At my current older condo, we can't get anything above 75-100 mbps connection from any ISPs as the place isn't wired for it with no plan for an change.  I'm wondering if people are aware of condos that are wired for true fiber optic connections (ideally 1 gbps).  I'm currently subscribed to AIS 50/20 package that gets me something between 50-75 mbps.  I used to pay for 75 mbps package but AIS said they don't have that anymore and downgraded me (although I still get decent speed and it's been very very stable with very limited downtime at 399 baht per month).

I think most people that post about high speed internet connections live in a house but would love to be proved wrong about this. 

I'm primarily interested in Bangkok but am opened to know about other regions/areas as well.

Can you let me know if The Bureau season 3 is on Netflix?

 

TIA

I can't find The Bureau on Netflix Thailand.

Kalifat is on Netflix Thailand.  You can watch it with either English or Swedish audio with choice of English, Thai, Swedish or Chinese subtitles.

If you google "safety glass exploding", you will see a lot of articles with explanation on this topic.

Logitech MX Master 2s or 3 (not sure if 3 is available in Thailand or not).

Netflix Country Comparison

You're quoting an article that's over 1 1/2 year old.  Yes there are certain country/region specific differences but it's always getting better.  There are plenty of contents (old and recently-released) on local Netflix.  When I moved out to SE Asia on 2012, I was using VPN to access USA Netflix.  I can't remember the last time I had to do that, anymore.

... There is also a kind of hearing aid that you can put into the ears that does this. I have never tried one. 

Bose Sleepbuds but it's over $400 USD.

I don't use this but I fall sleep with bluetooth earbuds (Jabra Elite 65t) listening to slow paced documentaries on my TV ( turns off automatically).  They are comfortable even lying on a side and I've yet to break them (over a year).

Shot in 1972 but recently released after her death.  Aretha at top of her game when she was 30 years old.  True "Americana" ... black gospel music that is just incredibly stirring even for those us that ain't that religious.  I was a bit surprised to see Mick and Charlie of Rolling Stones in attendance (Day 2 of two days recording/filming).

Per Wikipedia, 

Amazing Grace is a live gospel album by American soul singer Aretha Franklin. It was recorded in January 1972 at the New Temple Missionary Baptish Church in Los Angeles, with Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir accompanying Franklin in performance. The recording was originally released as a double album on June 1, 1972, by Atlantic Records.

The album was a critical and commercial success, selling over two million copies in the United States alone and earning a double platinum certification. It also won Franklin the 1973 Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance. As of 2017, it stands as the biggest selling disc of Franklin's entire fifty-plus year recording career as well as the highest-selling live gospel music album of all time.

Still Human - think this one's been mentioned.

Thought it was a cracker.

 

Summary: A paralyzed and hopeless Hong Kong man meets his new Filipino domestic worker who has put her dream on hold and came to the city to earn a living. These two strangers live under the same roof through different seasons, and as they learn more about each other, they also learn more about themselves.

Thanks for this.  I just finished watching it and thought it was great.  HIGHLY recommended and thumbs up to Anthony Wong (playing main character in the movie).

While I have not been to this place, I found Training Ground BKK (on Suk 69) online.  This is crossfit training facility ... google "training ground bkk" to find their website.

I don't stay on soi 10 but have done this walk before.  At the end of the soi, there is a chain link fence/gate that is normally chain locked.  There is enough room to walk through this to reach the park.

Condo.....when sleeping I have on a few occasions lately found my entrance door half open in the mornings but security lock keeps it from go all the way.

I hope you have a deadbolt on the door and, if you do, you should change it (if not, get permission to install one).  You can purchase one yourself which can give you certain level of control over the keys.

Changing deadbolt is fairly easy DIY but installing a new one is probably not DIY.

Weird.  OK this is a snip from when I go to that link:

 

 

Do you NOT see the "KEY UNLOCKED" icon in the photo you posted? Also, the link has multiple photos (one of which was posted by other user).  Key unlock function is usually included in this type of lock as "fail-safe" guard in case of battery failure.

Anyone know where I can d/l Gladiator with either Thai subs or dubbed - or indeed any other decent farang' movie?

 

She watched Merlin from the BBC on iflix some time ago, & would like to see other TV/movies.

 

Gets it bit boring having to search & scroll through endless suggestions on Google, so I thought one of the 'Crew' - us that is, might have some results.

 

Cheers dears....

Whatever I watched on Netflix in Thailand seems to have Thai subtitles (not sure if any are dubbed in Thai - I never checked).
