There are Android boxes and then there are Android boxes.

 

Most people here still believe that the 900 baht box from Lazada will perform same as the 4K or even 10K baht box.

 

 

No, I'm not blaming my android box, as the first month's subscription worked perfectly.

I have tried Thai A and Thai B with no effect.

Then, how often are your 5 second freezes. That's exactly what I am getting. Think it's time to move on from hdprime. At the moment getting everything free elsewhere but would like reliable backup. Any sugestions?

Teatime TV is much better quality, but no sport channels. 6 days on demand, around 600Baht/mth!

Anyone else having problems? Frequent pauses on live tv. Catchup unusable due to constant freezes and sound syn problems. Internet 3bb fibre getting 300-400 mbps.

Any suggestions to solve problems.

I'm having exactly the same problems. On demand playback is pathetic with constant skipping, usually on programs that I am keen to watch. I have complained but never received a reply. I also have the live tv freezes which I didn't expect with a 300Mb connection. I'm running it through an android box but that isn't to blame as the speedtest is just as good.

There are four strains of the virus: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. The disease spreads by the mosquitoes as they bite a host – who is already sick with the disease and still has a fever,

I caught Dengue a few years back, hospital stay for 5 nights, but 6 weeks until fully recovered and normal energy levels returned. Asked what happens if you contract it again, apparently, if it's the same strain, there is no effect within 2 years, but if it's a different strain, the symptons are twice as bad! The aching was the worst part, mainly in the back.

Just click to close the box down and then click to continue playing the video… why the drama?

After you have closed the box a few times, that option is no longer available, and you are left with the big box and need an alternative.

Do you know where their office in Thailand is located? Did you go there, or do send everything by post?

Their office is in Pattaya. I did everything by post.

Used this company a couple of months ago. Took 2-3 weeks to renew

The British Embassy charges about 2500 baht for the same document (Affirmation of residence), so I know who the thieves are !!!!.... 

The Residency Certificate is no longer listed as a service. The US Embassy has also stopped issuing them.

Those 2nd road taxis have always been a rip off, they look for gullible tourists

Xmas Day, Second Road. How much Pattaya to Nana? 1500 Baht. Okay, let's go. 

I've been paying that same price for the last 10 years! ????

All the games are available to watch for free on Thai TV. The only problem is to work out which games are being shown on which channel. Most games are being shown on True4U - channel 24. On my TV one can choose the audio you want between the Thai commentary or the English commentary.

UPDATE : Coincidentally, I received a phone call this morning (Wed's 9th) informing me that my reg plate and documents had arrived. Better late than never I suppose. Thanks for the feedback chaps. ????

Mmm, makes sense.

I paid cash too, so maybe that's the reason for their laid back attitude.

I purchased a new motorcycle from a Yamaha dealer about 5 months ago. I am still waiting for all documents and the white registration plate! I took out 2 years insurance and am yet to receive anything, the green ownership book nor the tax disc. I have called into the store several times to enquire, and they said that they would call me when it arrives. I was told that it would take 46 days for the reg plate to arrive, so it's been a long wait. Has anybody else bought a new motorcycle recently and had to wait longer than usual? I was thinking that maybe there was a backlog due to covid, though the longer this drags on, the more I think that there is more to it. This is a reputable, large Yamaha dealership in my province, so I would be surprised if they had messed up. Have I reason to be concerned, or is it one of those occasions that require a, 'mai pen rai'?

Okay, thanks. ????
