Thanks so much. I spotted your post just before I posed the question.

Tried that but the bloody parrot kept telling the engineer to 'f**ck off'.

I have been a subscriber for years, since before they started charging. You pay 300 only on the first time to set up the account and the first month's charge Thereafter pay monthly, quarterly or annually. Say you are paying monthly and want to pause for a while, simply do not pay the next month and resume when you return. Simply resume paying -- service resumed within minutes, no need to pay the 300 Baht again. My BIG problem is that I bought a new phone but they do not yet have a player for Android 14!

Not account closed BUT absolutely no information stored. no 'my account' no 'shopping trolley'. nothing. My gmail account opens up but all categories empty. Last night working O.K. I ordered something and today got email confirming order. No way to contact them to ask why.

My thinking is, the moment I buy a new phone or anything else for that matter, it has become 'second hand'. So there could be some good quality items out there. I'm not proud.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 131 seconds  

And apparently no need now for a trip to Saudi for more medical treatment!

Do you really believe that there is a 'red button' that only the president has access to (via a briefcase handcuffed to a constantly present security guard)??? Ha ha. A whole committee would be involved.

What? Maximum 4K Baht!!!!!

I see the punishment could be jailtime OR a mind blowing 4 thousand Baht fine.

Don't know many Thais do you? In 25 years I've never met one Thai who would be offended by an over generous tip😂

Ridiculous idea! Nearly three quarters of a million new 18 year olds each year. Where will they put them? Only boys or girls as well. Just an election gimmick.

Yes, some posters here haven't heard of the tobacco or alcohol monopolies or who owns and controls them.

Is there any way to open a bank account in the U.K. without actually going there in person. I simply want a UK account to pay my UK pension into. I am a U.K. citizen, PR in Thailand.

Careful of your maths. Aren't Thais one year old on the day of birth?

No, it's them! Same a couple of weeks ago.

Not available here in Bangkok. Same happened a couple of weeks ago as well. When it came back -- not a word of apology.

Sorry, I missed your first sentence -- Tommy Cooper.

Old but gold. Was it Les Dawson or Mrs. Shuffelwick?

what documents do these agencies that advertise 'you don't even have to go there' require?

One thing I would recommend ---- try headphones in shop first. Some look great but sound awful (take a movie along on a thumb drive typical of your usual viewing).

Me too. I bought BLUEDIO Bluetooth headphones (about 2,500 Baht Lazada -- not sure if genuine or not). I think that Bluetooth version 5.2 is good (less latency -- sound/vision synch.). The awful mixing of sound tracks was a bit of an uproar some time ago and one series on TV was re-mixed to make speech tacks easier to make out.
