  1. I have TrueVisions Platinum with their fiber internet, which is full of sports while the rest is slowly disappearing. If they continue this way, they could well rename it into SportVisions. No, not sports fan, so nearly nothing left to watch. But you might be happy with it. And no fiddling with any Android boxes, VPNs, etc.
  2. Can't see front of his face, but can see the lipid shape, red cap where you can't even see the writing, the golden sneakers, and you know exactly who that is. That's the power of branding.
  3. I remember when it was 25 to the dollar before 1998. Wish those days would come back....
  4. That's on top of 20 billion $ for digital wallet? Just how bankrupt is Thailand?
  5. https://www.eda.admin.ch/countries/thailand/en/home/visa/entry-ch/up-90-days/documents-schengen.html
  6. Apologies, I use a Thai issued credit card, so I wasn't aware. However I do receive paper bills from MEA which have QR code, and I assume (never tried) my mobile banking app could make a payment by scanning that code. There is another app from EGAT that our condo has in the apps list but when I originally opened it, the juristic officer suggested me MEA app as that one was impossible to use. I checked just now and they have replaced it with MEA Smart Life. I also see that AIS application has an option to pay for utilities and then get billed in monthly phone bill. Tried to add my account to app and it seems to work but I already paid the bill for last month so can't really test it now. It does not show any balance. Just allows to make payment. Maybe someone else is using it and can give better information. I'm just searching for possible alternatives that might work for you.
  7. This forum would empty up very quickly if the 600% increase applied to everything to do with permissions of stay. Like... 800k increasing by 600% to 5.2 million in the bank. The agent visa fee going from 20k to 140k per year. Permanent residence from 200k to 1.4 milion. Elite visa from .... I guess that would not have any effect on you.
  8. Except the one in Haneda which only accepts cash, where all exchanges around only sell foreign currencies but not Yen, so for transit passengers, Family Mart kiosks right in front of their shop take away 90% of all their customers...
  9. If you go to Penang, Malaysia, and compare the tourists there versus tourists in Thailand, based on their behaviour, I definitely believe Thailand should be more selective on who they let in, and focus on quality rather than quantity. Quality tourists might actually be discouraged from visiting, when the entire <deleted> of the Universe is let in.
  10. They still have their shop in Soi Lat Phrao 122 / Ramkhamhaeng 65. They opened MBK branch years ago.
  11. Keep on going and you'll end up like Greece and Argentina.
  12. Don't buy anything of high value on Facebook.... On second thought... Don't buy ANYTHING on Facebook.
  13. #1 I received my refund as a cheque by post on February 15, 2024. After seeing your post earlier I actually expected I'd have to open KrungThai account and had all documentation ready... opened mailbox, and there was an envelope with a CHEQUE in it. #3 I just did the opposite of that. How do you explain that?
  14. Yes... didn't take long. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/burned-human-remains-found-possible-link-to-missing-prachinburi-woman
  15. If you have a bank account with another bank, say SCB, you simply walk into SCB with your cheque and savings book. Fill in the cheque deposit slip with account and cheque information. Wait for cheque to clear (1-2 days) and money is in your account. Cheque can be deposited at ANY BANK, it is just issued by KTB, but that doesn't mean it can only be deposited at KTB branch.
  16. True. False. I've filed online (as usual) and within a week received the standard envelope with letter and a cheque. Took it to my bank (which is not Krung Thai) and did a cheque deposit. As it was a Sunday I was told that it would be deposited after 11 am on Monday, which it was. That's this last weekend. Same as every other year except that couple of years when they asked us to use KrungThai e-Money ATM card. After that it was switched back to mailing cheques.
  17. And that's just at the door steps of Ministry of Health...
  18. Most IoT devices that have no input to enter passwords, etc. are connected by using a phone to connect to them, to configure them. So on the box, when you reset it (press power and back button) the Wifi icon starts to blink. On your phone with Mi Home app installed and logged in, add filter in the app, which will ask you to change the Wifi to that of the air filter. It suggests how the name would look like. In Wifi menu select the air purifier's network. Once you've done that, app will ask you which Wifi network you wish to connect your box to, select your 2.4 GHz network, and enter password for it. Once it connects, it'll ask you to flip your phone back to your usual Wifi network to continue setup. I've had same kind of setup for Wifi cameras, washing machines, air conditioners, etc., so it seems to be pretty standard. Some others have own web server in them, so you need to connect to their network, then open a web page like 192.168.1.1 (listed in installation manual), where you configure the network settings. Obviously that's necessary as the device itself has no user interface allowing you to select the network and enter password for it. Hope this helps.
  19. The amount of data that flows through the Wifi from air purifier would work fine on 56 kbps modem from 1990.
  20. I've bought (alas never moved into, the lady just kept it for 6 months since buying new) a place that had the blue book completely empty. Only when someone moves their permanent address (as a Thai or foreign PR holder in Thailand to blue book) then that person's infomation will be printed in the blue book. If for example a foreigner buys a new unit and doesn't enter any Thais or PR holders on the blue book, then it will remain empty. Blue book comes with every condo, but yellow book is optional and only required for a foreigner. So in your case - if you enter your girlfriend in there - which will have her previous address, the date when she moves in... and her next address and date she moves out listed, if she moves address elsewhere - then the blue book would have entries that it has now (if any) plus her entry. But if you don't enter her, nothing gets added and it remains as it is now.
  21. On Xiaomi, they are at the back of the box, having a fan that draws in ambient air separately from the main air intake. If you use their Home Gateway, you can add their air quality sensors and make rules based on their readings as well. But in automatic mode, the air purifiers will adjust the speed of the fan based on their own sensors at the back of the boxes.
  22. True. Most IoT appliances only support 2.4 GHz network. Most if not all Wifi routers that support 5 GHz network also support 2.4 GHz, just needs to be enabled, if it's not.
