Thai Airways Among World's Top Ten Airlines in 2024
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Flew THAI domestic and international several times in past 2 years. Very punctual, planes were A320 or B787, quite comfy when compared to some European carriers. Food was OK, quite unexpected to get a box of it on domestic flight, but I guess that's Thai Smile leftover - as are A320 planes, just that "Smile" is scrubbed off. Overall, happy with them and will certainly choose them again. -
Basically MEA office for me with the tabien baan and copy of chanote, sign the form they typed up for me, and that was it. Received bill in the mail in my name at the end of month. They were nice enough to show me mobile app that allows me to pay the bills directly so I can do it without visiting their office, bank or ATM - just put in credit card number and it's paid and payment recognised immediately. Great bunch. I did not go to the area where condo was placed, but at the Ratchaprasong, and the whole ordeal took about 15 minutes.

Interesting pick for Trump... During the 2016 presidential election, JD Vance toured the national media circuit to promote his memoir and explain why he detested then-candidate Donald Trump. In one NPR interview, he joked that he would rather write in his dog on the ballot than vote for Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton. "I think that I'm going to vote third party because I can't stomach Trump," the "Hillbilly Elegy" author said at the time. "I think that he's noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2024/07/15/how-jd-vance-evolved-from-trump-critic-to-vice-president-pick/74372572007/

So far there is nothing in Royal Gazette on this, and other media outlets say that Anutin approved and sent to Sreetha for signature, which apparently already happened. But nothing can be a law until it's published in Royal Gazette, I believe. https://ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/ Follow this page to see when it pops up.

Thai Man Arrested Over Alleged Rape of Ukrainian Woman on Koh Samui
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
That's a change. Mostly we hear about foreigners getting on locals' nerves as foreigners think they can do whatever they want... And that seems to be confirmed in the news, like the 2 Kiwis who wrestled a cop, stole his gun and set it off... and they are out of jail and back to Kiwiland after 4 months... -
Trump rushed off stage after possible assassination attempt
tomazbodner replied to DPat's topic in World News
Well, game over, Joe. This is just going to get MAGA masses to the polls which no Democratic candidate can overturn. Trump will be POTUS come next year, unless someone else aims better or he expires from clogged arteries. -

Bangkok launches major drug prevention initiative with urine tests
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Wonder how they would enforce this on foreigners? Pee test at visa extension? Actually that's not a bad idea... They could provide a free medical check at that time as well! Just finance it from that 300 baht landing tax or whatever they call it... -
There is DVD ripping software which can convert a DVD into a video file, probably MPEG4 would be best. Many of them are free. I use Handbrake (not for DVD ripping but format conversion), which seems to have also been voted best free DVD ripping software for Mac: https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-dvd-ripper It has profiles of target device, but it also allows you to tweak format, in case file is too big to fit. It doesn't support original DVDs (like original movies bought in store) as those are copy protected and this software doesn't include DRM decryption but as your DVDs are home-made, they would not be protected anyway. You can get it from https://handbrake.fr/ There's then a player for those, for which I use VLC Media Player, which again is a free tool from http://www.videolan.org/ This tool actually can read DVD files directly from the disc and also has conversion options inside to convert them to another format, different size, as well as post-process it for better image quality or reduced size, where it can then save video to another format. I prefer VLC as player, but both Handbrake and VLC can make file that plays on QuickTime player as well, if you choose so, or make video optimized for your mobile device. You'll need an external DVD drive, and pretty much any USB drive would do, but if you want it fancy, you could find an Apple SuperDrive which is built for Mac. There are plenty of them available second hand, not sure if new ones are still being sold. Example: https://www.kaidee.com/en/product-369215957

Thai Mobile Users' Final Date to Verify SIM Cards
tomazbodner replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Not true. The card doesn't immediately get wiped when it expires. It stays available for top-up for quite some time after that, in my case my Travel SIMs (both AIS and True) remained valid and available for top-up (buying another roaming package) for more than a year... I have "reused" same SIM 1 year and 2 months later by simply inserting it into the phone and adding a package to it. There was no need to re-register anything, it was already in my name. -
