Please allow me to add my ha'penny worth:- @Tony M You sound most knowledgeable and have given sound advice. As you are no doubt well aware and I have tried to highlight here with myn experiences, there are many pitfalls so I understand your OISC recommendation. I have personally dealt with the UK immigration authorities in both the UK and the country of the lady whom I married so had no need of an OISC registered agent and certainly a lawyer would have provided no useful useful assistance. I currently have a long standing Thai girlfriend and have arranged both UK and Schengen visas without incident though I must admit the Schengen visa was fraught with difficulties due to my previous marriage and divorce. From my experience it is imperative that @sidjameson registers the divorce with the UK authorities otherwise a visa application would be a non-starter.

Oh you are so WRONG!!! Since when has 4G LTE been fixed point? I use one SIM in my mobile for music, grab, voip and one SIM in my tablet for streaming IPTV. Siganal strength is the same, or beter, than True, download speedtest to Europe exceeds 60Mb/s and monthly data is a genuine unlimmited as I use about 250GB/m

https://www.ntmobile.in.th/th/OtherPromotion/969.aspx Only works on band 40 and is data only so then you can use a cheap 7/11 SIM for phone calls but most people use voip

Agrred, x96 max is good, max+ is better and then you can go to x96 ultra. All are more hassle than a Firestick but leave the FS standing as long as you get an x96 with 4GB RAM. Storage is not so important as you can always use an SD card.

As far as I know the 2.0 bi-turbo 4x4 is NOT a permanent 4WD i.e. only to be used on a soft surface. My comment is based on the 2019 4x4 Ford Ranger that I have. The current Ranger and Everest have the option of permanent 4x4.

If you have an annual income of £50k then Lloyds charge £7.5/m for their International account, Thailand is anaccepted country to live in:- https://www.lloydsbank.com/international/products-and-services/current-accounts.html or you may have joy with a Standard Inetrnational account:- https://international.standardbank.com/international/personal/products-and-services/bank/international-bank-accounts/optimum-bank-account? which only requires you keep £5k in the account.

It is not only UK resident but you need a UK address proved by a utiltiy bill etc.

You're spot on:- https://www.retailbankerinternational.com/news/barclays-to-close-thousands-of-expats-accounts/ https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2023/12/barclays-expat-account-closed-bank-alternatives/

Recently, i.e. a few weeks agoe, I trnasferred about £20k from SCB to a UK bank. It took about an hour to fill in a dummy, £10, transfer to check all of the paperwork was correct and 30 mins to fill in the full transfer paperwork. Both monie transfer was received by the UK bank on the day of the transfer. SCB charge a handling fee and a % of the amount transferred which I can't remember but missus says $ is 0.25% and £ is 0.5%. I hope this helps.....

Spot on and a Gold to boot with an incredible last 150M

It all depends on the filters especially the RO filter giving you two choices:- i) Buy a TDS meter to test the cleanliness of the water from the B1 macheines https://www.lazada.co.th/products/lcd-i4836644374-s20193809225.html? ii) Buy your own RO water machine https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ro-colandas-50gpd-i2712848960-s9803632973.html? The links are for type and NOT a recommendation.....

For the hell of it I started a 2nd FHD stream and ran another speedtest with the following results:- The above download file was 87.6MB of random bytes Again, neither of the FHD streams have exhibited any buffering!

I use 3BB GigaFiber at 1Gbps I am currently streaming IPTV at FHD via WiFi to my Android tablet using a VPN with no buffering whatsoever and I have been streaming various channels at HD for the lasrt 8 hours and again, with no buffering whatsoever. I ran the following speedtest to ascertain my download speed whilst streaming FHD on my Windows pc without using a VPN but whilst streaming FHD. To ensure this was a realistic IPTV stream download speedtest I used 'testmy.net' and selected London as the locatrion of the downlaod server:- The above download file was 25MB. To ensure this was not a 'one off' I repeated the test about 5 minutes later with the following results:- The above download file was 84MB. Make what you will of these tests but I do not have buffering issues.
