  1. I would have pulled out Agoda, check for hotels by the airport link line, book hotel last minute, go there, then proceed to demand the deposit back and stop making accommodation bookings via chats with strangers. There are much more reliable options to book a place, you know! Imagine you got picked up by some serial killer and disposed of on the way to accommodation. So it could have been a lot worse. Take it as a lesson and move on.
  2. Probably with nose and ears... Smelling the smoke and listening for where screams of people who can see are coming from...
  3. What's wrong with it, asked a blind man...
  4. It would of course be interesting to know how the account was accessed to transfer out the funds. I have several accounts but those for which I have mobile apps, I only transfer any money into them when bills need to be paid, else there's really nothing in them. The accounts that do have money in, require OTP to login, add any additional accounts, make any transfers, account changes, and have a daily and transaction limits set. I have no mobile app for those. I was surprised when dealing with one of the banks (for unrelated issue) a few weeks back, when I got asked just before the end of the call, unexpectedly, whether I have requested my ATM card PIN change a few weeks ago. I've never used that ATM card. I now make sure that account has less than 100 baht in it, except when making transfer, which is limited to funds in and out within 3-5 minutes. Sadly, many people have no awareness of threats they are exposed to, especially on outdated mobile phones with side loaded applications, and computers accessing questionable websites, loaded with cracked applications installed from torrents. With convenience demanded by users, there's a limit to what banks can do to. But most people think this can't happen to them, until it does.
  5. If police can't help one of their own, what's the hope for the rest of the population... As for posting bank name... twice... beware Thailand's strict defamation laws.
  6. You don't believe what? Did you actually read that full article, which explains why the results were inconclusive? Or is this just your unsubstantiated response to the headline?
  7. Had he not been brought up by monks, we'd be reading about a "jealous bus driver" walked into a house and shoot dead his partner and her lover about 3 weeks back.
  8. Yes, I had to go back to edit it also... UF otherwise stands for Ultra Filtration. Unlike RO, it doesn't require power (except when you have UV lamp inside) and doesn't have brine drain. So it keeps minerals in the water but only removes harmful substances. Or so marketing material says.
  9. Why not find rent-a-car that offers economy cars, and see if they have Yaris... Then rent it for a day or 2 and give it a go. Costs a few k baht but at least you could do it properly on your own terms.
  10. Don't trust them. Used to have water delivered, 10-20 packs of 6x1.5l, but when realising the amount of plastic waste I was generating, I went out and bought water purifier. It was UF type, and water tasted and looked OK, it had UV light inside and all, but I was always nervous about using it, as the TDI meter didn't show much if any difference between tap water and what came out of it. A few months back there was Coway stand downstairs, and they had promotion on RO box with heater and cooler, like a hot/cold/ambient water dispenser, so I subscribed. 690 baht/month, a lady comes once every 2 months to clean it, and every other time she replaces all the filters. The box she has with her does full water analysis and shows what it finds in it on that big screen. I've also tested water myself and TDI numbers are very low. As such, I'm quite happy and a lot more confident using this filter than I was the previous 5 step + UV UF filter, or any public water purifier. And I don't use plastic pollution I used to.
  11. The change is indeed substantial. From Hazardous to toxic. Kind of like the difference between deadly and fatal...
  12. Can we make a guess? Or is that just a rhetorical question? And change that from hundreds to thousands...
  13. The worst in 30 years for me. And the longest lasting.
  14. I'm actually pleased with that. All those iron lungs tourists filtering our air at least a little bit, else it might be even worse. And by the time they develop cancer, they'll be back to their homes anyway so no need to treat them either.
  15. I'm waiting since October last year!
  16. That's exactly what TG served as food platter on HKG to BKK flight...
  17. @MrNaturalAll of us here as just as fake as you
  18. There is a company that specialises in fiber connection to room in older condos. You buy internet from them, but really they connect you to a random provider in that area, but that's for buildings that don't have any fiber connections inside the towers. New condos may already have fiber connected to room, like my place had. All they do in that case is connect the cable on the ground floor, then install modem in your room and you're done. Alternatives, if only phone cables are available, is FTTH via VDSL, which is basically fiber to ground floor, then VDSL (phone line) to your room. Max speeds are low, though, 50-75 mbps up/down max. FTTH can go to 2500 mbps in both directions and doesn't cost much more for far higher speeds. It's been a while since I've dealt with the company that installs fiber to condos, so I can't remember their website or name anymore. But they always advertised fiber for condos. If condo allows telecom to drag fiber cable up to your place, you better use that telecom instead. Easiest to know is by telling them where you live (building, floor) and wait for maximum speed. If it's below 100 mbps, it's VDSL. If higher, it's fiber to your room. For stability of signal, fiber is better than any copper cables.
  19. What's the point of your completely useless response? Or are you selling a time machine?
  20. Seems you have KBank account - you could go to them and ask for the digital credit card or whatever they call them - it's a virtual card, that has a pre-set limit, and you just get a number to use on the internet. It works just like any other credit card (VISA I think), but there's no physical card and it's limited on amount so you can't get cleaned out, you only transfer in what you need. I am not using it but am aware of it. It supports international transactions, so you should be able to pay on Indian website if they accept VISA/Master credit cards. Maybe ask your branch, if that's an option.
  21. Is it possible that sensor might have some particles stuck in it? I know Xiaomi warned that you should clean the sensor and small fan that feeds it regularly and that if you see strange readings, it's likely that sensor has some dust particle blocking laser. Of course it could be quality issue of the sensor as well, but above one is quick to do and see results. I usually just vacuum the vents.
  22. Do you guys use agents to serve your wives and girlfriends as well? Use agent seems to be answer to everything...
  23. True. Thai is not great on Google. So what's better?
