After 31 years in LOS my time spent here may be coming to an end , due to increasing health issues and boredom with Thailand I have sold my properties and car but want to take my 2 big bikes back to UK as well as my personal possessions and tools , As I have owned both bike more than 2 years No Uk import duty will be paid only some excise duty and re registration in UK . But I need a reliable shipping company to expedite this task ,, anyone know of a reliable careful shipper ...

Did that and no difference , Nord tech support have asked me to delete the entire programme and re install a new copy ,, I did that and it has made no difference no Iplayer , and Nord connection is slow as well ,, but Windscribe is working fine ,, I have now asked them to cancel and refund my subscription ?? lets see what they do??? -

BBC iplayer completely Blocked even with VPN's

I have notified Nord VPN as thats my main VPN of the issue and they are looking into it ,, I have also noticed recently that Nord is Glacially slow most of the time , I was suprised how good Windscribe is working , no connection issues for BBC i player and very fast connections...I will probably drop the Nord subscription when it expires next May and will use Windscribe more My laptop is old and its only Windows 10 , Im going to replace it next year its a Lenovo I7 processor with 12MB of Ram but it is 12 years old now .. cant be updated to Window 11 I tried -

I want to watch MOTD as i was ill yesterday and could not watch live in the bars ,, I have tried 3 different browsers , FF, Edge,Chrome ,, all i get when looking at BBC on UK servers on both my VPNs is that they can see I am not in UK -
Normally when in Thailand I watch BBC Iplayer using either Nord or Surfshark VPN's but now totally unable to get Iplayer to work , it seems BBC can now block even the best VPNs ,,,I have tried several work arounds , different browsers, clearing cache etc ,, and other suggestions ,, so any one on here have any idea how i can get it to work ,, My netflix and other sites all working fine only BBC is problem , I want to look at MOTD as i was sick and missed the live matches in my local bar

Renewal Of 5 Year Driver's License
liddelljohn replied to patsfangr's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Not coming in on Tourist visa is unlikely to change for me ,, so I will just bring UK license and international license now ,I like travelling in my Motorhome and motorcycles in Europe and seeing my grand kids in UK ,, I dont intend to spend more than 5 months in Thailand a year any more after 31 years in Thailand ,, By the way several agents have said they can solve the problem for 4000 baht for each license so total of 8000 ,but its not really worth it to me ... -

Thatchers gold ,, or something better if possible not the super sweet Koppaberg fizzy crap ,otherwise im stuck with Scotch ice and water for a long cold drink

When I first came to Thailand in 1993 it was very good value , The £ was worth only about 42 baht if I remember correctly but it bought £5 worth of good s and services so Value was excellent . But Today with £ about 44baht It can buy on average about £1 worth of goods and services when averaged out. When In UK or EU I spend about £2500 a month 100k baht and in Thailand its about the same ,, But what I get for that money is no different ... Thailand is no longer cheap many things here cost more than UK and yes some things are cheaper thats why I say the value in Thailand is on par with UK and EU.. So no Thailand is no longer a cheap destination for holidays or expats ,,

NOW NOW you are correct , but even with bongs i dont like grass , tried many types and brands ,, still prefer hash in bongs , water pipes or joints use to even build motorised bongs when I was young using vacuum cleaners or 3m long carpet tubes ... But these day one small joint is all I need to be mellow .... also im 66 my lungs are still fine , xrays show them at 100% and im fit as I have only been a moderate smoker for 50 years , no cigarettes etc no chain smoking .Im lucky i guess ,, especially with all the toxic dangerous jobs I have done .
