yeah its only the information that shows where it is (at this moment, if you sent it to me and i saved it on my desktop it would show MY path to desktop) and where it's shared on local computer and what user on it "owns" it
+ M40-Laptop-1 is not a user on my computer so it wouldn't show that.
plus unless you are sending those files directly via email (or something like Google Drive), not through Facebook and such then there would be none of that additional information left

If you have a Thailand-based paypal account you should be able to register your Krungthai debit card (or the Krungthai account) to use for funding purchases.
yep, not wrong and if KTB doesn'T want to help you with online purchases out of Thailand this might be one of the only ways.
my Kasikorn Bank visa debit card seems to be declined with everything that isn't charging THB as well, no clue if its something the bank can sort out but it's annoying
edit: there is also that issue with UnionPay cards bs that doesn't work half the time

to be honest I would reckon it's likely to be some kind of "promotion" percentage off artificially inflated prices so you feel like you are saving money but in reality you don't (or very little).
I would love to be proven wrong with actual vouchers discounting regular prices tho.

here's some facts from the WHO themselves
https://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/statements/2017/flu/en/
for people who don't want to bother clicking and or reading, "Up to 650 000 people die of respiratory diseases linked to seasonal flu each year"
seasonal flu doesn't mean whole year, obviously.
they said it started in December so we are technically sitting at 7th month of this (58% of a year) and last I checked it was a close to 55-60% those normal figures

I live in Phetchaburi and internet is stable AND cheap as heck, 750 baht I get 1000/1000 Fiber with 3BB,
they have promotion now 1000/300 and a DTAC sim with 10GB data per month together for 649 baht which I use for tethering if I REALLY need internet when it goes down
I have more worries about the electricity than the internet to be honest.

Do you know where to buy it at local shops ?
And are you sure that the 3 others are insecticides ?!
Thank you so much.
I never bought it in Thailand but here:
https://healthfoodthailand.com/en/non-toxic-household/1162-diatomaceous-earth-.html
if you plan on using it internally for anything don't buy the non-food grade (they have pool grade or others)
second question, you had all the links and this is the first lines for all three:
Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide
Permethrin, sold under the brand name Nix among others, is a medication and insecticide.
The pyrethrins are a class of organic compounds normally derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium that have potent insecticidal activity by targeting the nervous systems of insects.doesn't mean that it doesn't work by the way, just stating they were insecticides vs just loose powder

On an Aerox or PCX your not comfortable with you 191cm but on a Wave or Scoopy you are ????? I think you got them mixed up or you never sat on a bike .
maybe reading comprehension is not your strong point but here: this thread is about riding on the back of a scooter behind a girl.
you can figure out how ridiculous your reply was by yourself now

...and not have your name and phone number shared with online marketers.
here's a little true story as some kind of proof that this happens
about 6 years ago, I went to Hua Hin immigration to do a visa extension and they asked me to write my phone number manually on the form (there wasn't a spot for it back then)
a few days later I started getting cold calls from DeVere Group to my cell (Google it up, "devere group cold calls thailand")
they addressed me by full name and talked like I was from Hua Hin (I never lived in Hua Hin, Phetchaburi didn't have an immigration office before so we went to Hua Hin)
now, how do I know who gave it away? because I never gave that number away to anyone before this, passport registration was not a forced thing back then. my name was not linked to my phone number in any way.
so, someone at immigration was giving away (more likely selling) phone numbers and full names of people going there (and who knows what else)
obviously I'm not saying it's happening with this App

don't need anything else than Windows Defender to be honest and I don't know anyone that is serious in IT that would suggest anything else (nowadays anyways)..
a few years back, maybe yes.
I had to disable parts of Windows Defender because it was "catching" more than it should, false positives (excluding directories to prevent it from deleting known safe apps)

the only problem i have had with it was comfort.
on a bike like an Aerox (and a PCX) then if you are tall or heavy in any way then it's not comfortable at all
on something like a Honda Wave or Scoopy then it's not an issue but its still weird because I'm much taller than most people (191cm)
don't lean back is definitely a proper answer, I vouch for that.

Diatomaceous Earth works but it's a fine powder, leaves a mess practically everywhere and is bad if inhaled.
for ticks, fleas etc, Diatomaceous Earth is the equivalent of dumping sharp shards of glass on them, it sticks to them, cut them and dries them out
you can also feed it to the dog to get rid of some internal parasites as well (worms, etc) but you make a little paste chunk and either hide it in something else or force em to swallow (very chalky)
by the way, that last part works on humans too
it's a mechanical effect, compared to the other 3 who are insecticides.
it also works on bed bugs, dust mites, cockroaches, ants, etc.

YET beaches still closed???
yep, quite ridiculous if you ask me. I have two young puppies and have to bring them to the beach at least 4-5 times a day and risk getting the 100,000 baht fine.
police pickups going a few times a day to curse out people on the beach (95% Thai). just this morning a pickup with like 8 people at the beach, no masks
chances of them getting fined = 0 but myself I decided to just pay some Thai person to bring my dogs out during the middle of the day as I know there's a big chance they would fine me.

I know this hasn't seen a post in a month and is a bit of rambling but
I always had similar issues with my local Honda dealership, as far as i know they are run as franchises and the people working there don't seem to give a damn about anything.
I go to the local one for oil change AND maintenance, I show them the book with the page open to maintenance while pointing down at the list of things (it's in Thai, very easy to understand what I want). they say "OK"
mechanic does oil change, takes off bike and rolls it down saying it's ready
so, I ask, "what about maintenance?" = puzzled look, clerk at desk translates, mechanic shrugs.. gets on the bike, drives it 200 meters down the road and back, and then says "everything OK!"
I get only charged for oil change, which is fine but I needed them to check everything and I would have paid for it but they can't be bothered because the mechanics are paid by the hour whether they help me or not
this happened about 4 times by now, different bikes over the years but always the same location.. the next one over is about 20km away (maybe I should go there)
we went there today and checked in the accessories order book that they have on a desk.. wanted a helmet for the Ms. found 3 different models I wanted.. also saddle bags and a front faux leather bag (goes on like a basket).
asked about the bags, how much? won't answer me, want to know what model of bike I have.. ignore me asking how much to go check which bike and then start saying that we can't order because it's for the 2019 bike model and I have 2018..
they are saddle bags that have straps under the seat, it makes zero difference which year my bike is.
I get her to ask about the helmets, cannot order, out of stock every single thing I ask them about, cannot cannot cannot.
so today, I get the Ms to call Honda directly and exactly as someone else said above they only thing they do is provide dealership numbers and nothing else.
we called 2 more dealerships with 5 different items I'd like to order just to be told "we don't have stock, can't order"

wanted to add that on my particular model of 2018 ABS Aerox you could display the battery voltage instead of trip information
can't recall exactly how much it should be displaying cause I don't have the bike anymore but from Google it says something between 13.7 to 14.7 volts
if it doesn't then probably something wrong with the Stator.
but I'm not a mechanic (and far from it), I just had to lookup most of this stuff after I left the USB charger in the bike for too long and my battery had to be replaced.
so someone else might correct me

might not be what you are looking for but found this
https://jsfiddle.net/geary/c3zupt25/2/
put it full screen on the bottom right, click satellite and it does half what you wish (maybe good enough?)
or
three lines at the top, Map Style, click custom.. remove everything you don't want and it does similar job.

the real UV lights actually do work, this is the one I have and it does work (check the reviews at the bottom for some pictures)
https://www.lazada.co.th/products/portoti-pr-25mb-mosquito-pest-killer-i174536187-s358395528.html
it has to be a certain wavelength or it will not work well (or at all)
this video is from the people who made it so, might be biased but they prove their point.
the problem comes from some lamps all all they do is put a dark blue/purple LED and that does nothing vs Ultraviolet

if you are set to buy a bike in that price range, check for second hand Yamaha MT-03 (321cc), that is what I would buy
it's faster than my 500cc Honda CB500F was

bring 1900 baht, the gray Elite card, passport and all that, proof of residence (I usually use my drivers license)
really, only difference to a normal extension is you absolutely need the Elite card (I got turned away cause I didn't have it)

not a sizable bike but back about 5 years ago I got a Honda Wave from .. Honda and they sold me something for what I seem to recall was 700 baht
told me that it was some kind of guarantee that if I wanted to sell the bike back to them they would buy it at a high percent of the price
anyways, bike in perfect condition maybe 3000km on it max, went back to Honda they offered me like 32,000 out of 48,500
random Thai guy in shop a few streets up offered me 38,000 no questions asked
of course, they would both turn around and sell it back for 42,000 or so.

41 minutes ago, SteveK said:Netflix can be very good value. However, after a certain period of time, you will probably reach the situation I currently find myself in.
That is, anything half decent on there I have watched at least once, so I spend an outrageous amount of time sifting through unwatchable garbage that Netflix have picked up on the cheap to bulk out their library.
I would say that about 90% of the stuff on there is filler content, the kind of movies you'd see for sale in a pharmacy for 99 cents.
he's not wrong.
they gave me a free month and all I could find that I hadn't watched yet or was interested in was a few standup comedians specials like Louis CK, Ricky Gervais and Bill Burr.
I downloaded all of them on Netflix and then never went on there again and once they expired, I had to go and manually delete the files to get the space back
I just went to fetch them manually elsewhere.
I have a lady that comes here once a while and she has a shared account from someone else, after a few years I saw that not much have changed and it's mostly still rubbish.
I mean, it's not expensive so if you plan on watching say at least 3-4 movies a month it's worth the price (vs rental, buying)
Netflix certainly works for some people but definitely not for me. it's a hard pass.

70Mai dash cam
in Thailand Motor Discussion
Posted
I never seen the set with the rear camera, this is the one I ordered.
https://www.lazada.co.th/products/global-ver-xiaomi-70mai-pro-dash-cam-night-vision-voice-control-i342028195-s664124890.html
I assume it's the same model but with just a camera+cable.. would you have a link for it or something? I'm mildly interested if it's the same model to see if i can just get the 2nd one, etc.
