No idea. But most of this kind of music is taken from royalty free music sites.

Maybe to put this in perspective. You have paid for the place to live in. But a squatter moves in, claiming his right to habitation. You want him out of your place, but other freeloaders start calling you greedy, start calling out your family connections, etc. and demand you let him and anyone else to stay at your place for free.

In the past, in Bangkok the smog started in February or so and lasted until May. Then it started to appear earlier, until this year, starting already in September. If this continues, it'll be like this all year round. Smog isn't harmless. It kills millions every year and costs a lot. UK estimated that the cost of air pollution is 9-19 billion pounds every year, and cost up to 5.3 billion pounds on healthcare alone. Note, air quality in UK is considerably better than in Thailand. https://laqm.defra.gov.uk/documents/air_quality_note_v7a-(3).pdf https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-tool-calculates-nhs-and-social-care-costs-of-air-pollution

SVB is Sambava airport in Madagascar. Suvarnabhumi airport code is BKK... That out of the way, see this warning: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thais-abroad-warned-not-to-buy-fresh-fruit-to-bring-home/ Thais travelling abroad have been warned not to bring fresh fruit back to Thailand, as they may face legal action. Agriculture Department Director-General Rapeephat Chantarasriwong said that a number of Thais travelling abroad, particularly to Japan and South Korea, have brought fresh fruit, such as grapes and persimmon, back to the country without certificates indicating that it is free from pests and plant diseases. He said that the plant quarantine checkpoints at the Suvarnabhumi airport have confiscated a lot of fresh fruit being brought back by Thai travellers, many of whom claimed they bought them according to advice offered by their guides. This is against the law, because the fresh fruit does not have appropriate certification, he said, adding that most of the travellers were not arrested or charged, but that their fruit was seized and destroyed. The penalties for illegally importing uncertified fruit are one year in prison and/or a fine of 20,000 baht, said the director-general.

It is actually quite funny how many people pick up a bone thrown at them ????

For the sake of those who have bought the units, I wish this gets resolved soon, but not without severe penalties to Ananda for ignoring laws and regulations that have been in place for 30 years. Guess only way that can happen though is if MRTA sells the land the road is built on to condo project. But can they even do that? Would that then mean that people entering the station and parking at the station are using land belonging to condo?

Now I see Toshiba is similar in design to WD. That's what a WD external drive would look like, as well.

Depends. English won't help much in Japan, Korea, Germany, China, Italy,... But you have a strong point. The flip side, of course, is that Brits, like most of those in line above, never bother to learn any other languages. So an English speaking Thai is at least bilingual, while English speaking Brit isn't even that.

Please demonstrate your Thai language skills.

I'd like to rank British on their Thai proficiency. Though just a thought... I read somewhere that over 750k Brits can't speak English... Lemme find it... Here: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/mar/14/sajid-javid-770000-people-in-england-not-able-to-speak-english

And for me Phyathai 1 in Bangkok, if it gets to needing the surgery. Had it removed there in July by Dr. Wudhichai Kittipadakul (https://phyathai1international.com/dr-wudhichai-kittipadakul/) and he is awesome. Maybe someone you wish to talk to before making a decision on whether to cut it or not. In my case I didn't really have much of an option given severe infection after years of discomfort that was misdiagnosed previously. Yes, cost was around 300k from what I remember and I have left hospital with 4 patched holes, 3 days after the surgery. Follow up appointments to remove stitches, etc. were free of charge.

Seagate 2.5" external USB 3 hard disk has a standard SATA drive inside and then SATA to USB converter. WD has USB connector on the drive itself so it can't be used internally connected to SATA. Learned about that when Seagate drive failed, took it apart and found out disk inside is still working, so I just put it in another enclosure. No such luck with WD that failed shortly after. EDIT: Seagate was 2TB Backup Plus Slim. WD was 2TB My Passport.

Our condo wouldn't let them in and we have large food delivery shelves and notes with pens to write room numbers on bags before placing them onto the slots on shelves. Delivery drivers would generally drop the food off and then take a photo showing food and number of slot where they deposited it. They could not get in - all doors require card to open them - and lifts require specific cards to only allow them to floor card is registered for. So we've had this in place since I've moved here and know for a fact (through friends living in them and visiting) that the 2 neighbouring condos do exactly the same. Didn't know that delivery companies have this rule. But our condos surely do.

When ATM machines and bank branches are removed, where exactly will you get cash? Street vendors already for a while accept PromptPay payments which land in their accounts immediately without fees. That's why you'll notice your 40 baht Pad Thai vendor has a QR code printed on the side for payments. Credit cards are only secondary payment option due to transaction fees. Most are accepting PromptPay, with more upmarket shops accepting credit cards or other methods of mobile payments (Alipay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, True wallet,...) All that said - and while being forced into it by "CASH NOT ACCEPTED" by ever more invoices - I'm against this cashless transition and voted accordingly.

Is True getting their 300 million returned?

Try Houk and Bank, or Com 7 / Uficon, who often carry older models. But don't count on getting discounts like in US. Might charge you same for 2021 model as 2022.

Not so bad, la. This is Iranian footy fan:

That's what this article is about. It was OK watching from DTV reception or satellite, in cable TV, but not via internet streaming:

True4U is free to air TV channel which you can receive with standard antenna and standard DVB-T2 TV set.

Check which server Ookla is using. Maybe not TOT server. TOT would only check speed to local gateway while Ookla can choose server to test against. Most accurate is testmy.net.

I'm aware that nothing is for free, Kannika, and that internet cost is included in cost of the TV package. It is just that cable TV signal needs to get to me somehow. As no new cables can be laid through condo, and True already installed fiber to each unit, they deliver internet and cable TV through the same cable. There's a router that is all in one (doesn't have a separate fiber modem), which has cable TV socket as well. As part of TrueVisions Platinum package for about 2800 baht or so, 1 Gbps internet was included. Then there was an offer for 99 baht or something like that to bump it up to 2 Gbps, so I took it. Admittedly, compared to AIS PlayBox service previously, True has much clearer image and doesn't have dropouts like AIS one had, alas at much higher price - but AIS only has options 50-250 mbps at this place. So I switched back to True. Hence for me this is working, for others it might not.

Maybe, but then again, True is paying for it. My only requirement was National Geographic and Gigabit internet. So I'm paying for cable TV but get internet for free with it. I have it. But worried about you from time to time... If you're offering yours, I'm not interested.

I started at 30 mbps I think, and then they kept on increasing it over the years. So by the time I switched from AIS to True, I wanted 1 gbps since that's what I had on AIS. And True did the same, every now and then they'd offer to bump it up. It is really only useful for downloading large files like OS updates, but for work I am also dealing with 1 GB+ firmware files that need to be downloaded/uploaded for customers, so being able to complete in seconds rather than hours (for example firmware for 50 different models at 1-2 GB each downloaded from internal FTP and loaded into customer's FTP server). When multicasting Zoom calls with up to 1000 participants, all with cameras on, my previous 1000/1000 suffered sometimes and picture went into mosaic, so I had to use external FHD screen or even just sharing part of smaller screen to ensure image used low enough bandwidth for all to see clearly. Now even lazy 5K main screen share of Keynote is crisp on the other side, static pages or videos. Hence there are uses for WFH where fast internet is very handy. However I agree that for an average user, even 300 mbps is a lot. Then again, that's maximum speed to nearest gateway. It likely drops 90% internationally. And even more when using VPN. So if someone is streaming through VPN from overseas, a much faster internet might be required than if they were physically there.
