I suffered a similar attack in April this year, I lost 1.25 million unbacked up files some over 20 years old, The backups of my older files mostly worked but the big losses were current files which had been continuously used but whose backups were more than a month old. The Crypto key could not be found and negotiation with the " Owner " just resulted in the reduction of their ransom price to $3,800 USD.
It usually does no good to recover these files because the recovery key sets the virus into the data somehow and even if you reformat the drive, or use a 3 stage proxy plan to copy your data back, the virus returns after 14 - 28 days and demands another payment.

The Thai people are a sharp and interested as any people in the world, it is just that 70 years of being taught to be sheep and with Parents who are sheep will take another 2 generations to overcome. Psychologically, the Thais are now where we were in the early 1940's

ADSL here is always slow after rain and that is because there are about 3 million Km of exposed ToT cabling in Bkk with another 3 million cheap landline phones just haphazardly hooked in. I have seen line voltages go as low as 17 V and when that happens, you have to rely on semaphore. Yes, Fibre will always be better, as long as you PERSONALLY have a connection to it. If you use a Fibre connection through 6 Km of Bangkok Telephone lines you are going to be in the same position you are now. Face it, most wire lines here are actually 20 years old with split insulation and sitting in water filled pipes. Maybe signal flags aren't such a bad idea after all.

I usually go to Equinox in Siam Centre, Good quality, big range but a little expensive

The only thing the video told me is that they are not her own shoes, Is anyone really offended by Pattaya ?

We note Section 61 and see that the " Institution " had some problems with it, The reason it was introduced was to stop vote buying which a certain political party actually won an election with in the recent past. I think that this is a very positive move.

Sure 8800 Bt is a lot to pay for a meal, but there were 4 people there and they ate a lot of seafood. The "tip" looks more like GST than a tip and it is not high why are we even looking at this bill ? it should be referred to the Authorities if it is excessive and ignored if not. This is a waste of time

It's really amazing that a country in which a 19 years old guy pays 2.4 mill for a rare number plate considers a life to be worth only half a weeks pay

The second is a supposition, based on circumstance If you enlarge the picture, the ground at the side looks wet and for the second, if the vehicle was illegally parked, it would have been booked immediately with further charges depending on the fate of the rider and there was no mention of this in the article. Since it is a fundamental part of the article, I would guess that the vehicle was actually legally parked.
-
The truck parked, but the road is wide enough, the rider scooting along in the wet with his head down watching the road 3 metres in front and just not thinking except about getting home. Cannot see any fault with the Truckie as the 18 wheel apparently parked legally.
Even if it had been lit up like a Christmas Tree there is a good chance that the rider still wouldn't have seen it. This is nothing more than an accident and there is no internation consortium of truck manufacturers developing light absorbing paint to make trucks and spy satellites disappear and no conspiracies, just a tired, careless and unlucky guy who picked the wrong time to lose concentration.

Aren't the Police responsible to the same laws that the Army is ? or has there been a shift in administration or Government that we have not been told about ?

Am I the only one who has problems with a " detention Camp " set up within a couple of hundred metres of a patrolled border " for some time " before being discovered ? Uniforms had to know all about it and even though, there is no corruption in Thailand, any rational person can see that someone was being paid to patrol around the camp.

I assume that the Government will not just give a foreign worker a wristband, it has not been mentioned yet but I would not be surprised to learn that there is say a 2000 Bt charge for the said wristband and that a new one has to be purchased for each visit to the Kingdom. Maybe the bottom line is the reason !

I spent 5 months in Mukdahan, Nong Khai and That Phanom and 50% of the traders were Laotian who came across the bridge every day free of charge to sell their goods in the markets. This has been going on for over a century ( via little boats ) and is a way of life. While I appreciate that Governments like statistics and strict control of foreigners, I think this move is overkill and is very non-Thai

Zydeco is right, moves have already been made as to the Russian demand for fish and crustaceans shipped overland from Vladivostok and via China. That will be the next great announcement

Toknarok, This is the text of the law and it deliberately makes no mention of where the said advertising can occur. It definitely does not seem to limit itself to Public advertising. If this is the guideline, then even having an empty beer carton in your garbage could be said to be actively advertising the product, this is really open and God knows where it will end.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, BE 2551 (2008 CE). Under section 32 of the law, alcoholic beverages may not be advertised in a manner which directly or indirectly claims benefits or promotes its consumption, and may not show the product or its packaging. Under a declaration issued in order with the act, all advertisements must also be accompanied by one out of five predefined warning messages, lasting at least two seconds for video advertisements and occupying at least 25 percent of the advertisement area for print media.

I bet that if he had resricted himself to cheating Fareng, it would have gone on for many years. He might have even become rich.

I think that wherever you go and whatever age you are, in our stressful society, many people are walking along the razors edge between coping and falling apart and sometimes only a microscopic push is needed to throw them off the side.
I wish that there was a way of predicting when and how they will fall, but the only one that seems to be used is hindsight after the fact. Feel pity for the cop, pray for the victims and just hope that it will not be you who tips someone's balance in the future. As to the perpetrator, he too is a victim, but he really doesn't matter since he has abrogated his rights. All the penalties in the world and all the education in the world will not stop someone who has lost it from committing completely unpredictable motiveless crime. How do you tell who that might be ? Perhaps, this situation might even become far more common in the future as living becomes harder, again, perhaps then, only hindsight will give us insights.

While I agree that the roundabout is a fine way to manage traffic, unfortunately they demand space. it has to be possible for cars to be seen for time before they arrive at your position. In Manchester in the UK, there is a roundabout which is 1.5 Km in diameter and it works fine, but in our cities with tall buildings just a few feet from the road obscuring view, narrow roads, extreme dip angles which often need a turn of less than 45 degrees ( 30 or 120 depending on approach ) to enter the roundabout and fast drivers, there is virtually no chance at all of them being installed properly without demolishing half of the city which would remove it's "intimate Thainess". Love them or hate them, I think that they are only ever going to work in new developments.

I always thought that you have to give way to any vehicle already on the roundabout, I have learned something new today

Unconcealed stray weapon components, but no guns. Packed in sacks obtained from Garbage and cartridges in 7.62 x 39 which was only ever used in tiny quantities by the Prahan Phran and which the Thai military does not use.
This shit has been dumped by a " Private Collector " and warrants no attention at all unless fingerprints and DNA can be obtained from it. The fact it is old and left by the roadside shows that it was not intended to be used. Maybe there is an old Thai Communist ex warrior out there who has simply discarded it. No excitement warranted at all

If this is a genuine attempt to clean up the island then I bow to the Junta, but I suspect that it is simply a publicity drive to show muscle at the expense of a few low hanging fruit. We will see what happens after the jolted Police reports and the 4 clarifications with aoplogies
Last ditch effort...

The 3 stage proxy is to first create a proxy drive on another machine as stage 1. Then restore your data into the new proxy, fully disinfect it and sieve the data looking for any file which may have changed. The normal attack phase is to take a regular windows file which is not much used and then to alter it slightly to include the bogus algorithm and then save it back to the drive with it's original name . These are always just a couple of hundred bytes larger than the original so by comparing the size of the file, you can delete most faulty files. Then stage 3 to manually copy back the sieved and filtered data from the proxy and reinstall it into the New Windows file on a reformatted drive.
Slow, tedious amd mind blowingly effective, except for this one. It actually seems to modify one of the driver files in Windows, perhaps even in the Video driver, I have not been able to find any trace of it but I know it is there somewhere and somehow, it is transferred with the data to the new copy. Many thousands of people around the world have a hard drive in cold storage waiting for someone to crack the encryption, but after 3 years, we are all still waiting. The Owner is a company registered in Cypress who seems to be completely immune to any form of illegality charge. I have a frozen copy of the virus injector in safe storage if anyone wants to play with it
