Maybe true, but in the past it only got it for 1-2 months a year, now it's in 100+ for 6 months or more in a year already. It's like this since October and bound to stay like this until probably May or June... That's not the same as previous years. In fact it started getting considerably worse about 10 years ago. Before that it was reasonable and not so long lasting (I say this as someone who used air filters in rooms since 2003 and pm2.5 meter since 2003 or 2004).

If I understand correctly, pollution control department is taking only numbers from their official measuring stations. I was at Lumpini today (with AQI 180+ Bangkok average) and nearest measuring station AirVisual app picked up was Chulalongkorn hospital 100m away. Showed AQI of 17.... Yeah, right. I even checked when data was collected and it claimed less than 10 min ago...

BUSDREAM on bus is quite ... I don't know what word to use in that situation, or maybe I better keep it to myself. But seriously... it is "good" that this has happened after children were offloaded and that this was a convoy so his colleagues rushed in to help. Would have ended as a lot more tragic story if he had seizure an hour or so earlier, when kids were still there, and possibly driving faster than this...

e-Ink is not commonly used as the main screen on any computers or laptops. There are some tablets (Boox, Kindle, etc.) that use ePaper or Color ePaper and they are very gentle on the eyes in well-lit environments, but obviously a major strain in dark environments although side illumination helps. Biggest problem of ePaper is its main feature - to keep power consumption down and extend battery life, it has an extremely low refresh rate - up to a second on newer, even longer on older displays. This means that it makes them pretty much useless for much of media consumption, and that's the reason most computers don't feature it (alas Lenovo has one laptop model with such display on the back, but not main screen). There could be alternative if you are currently using home version of computer screens/notebooks. Those are glossy and while that adds much better contrast, it also adds considerable reflection and eye strain. There are business models of both monitors and laptops, which feature a matte screen, which has worse contrast but much less eye strain. Don't know the names of business models from other brands, but HP has EliteBook and ZBook laptops, EliteOne all-in-one, and EliteDisplay as well as ZDisplay with no reflection incredibly sharp screens. Other brands probably have separate home and business product lines, where versions for those who need to stare at the screen all day would likely be matte displays. Maybe worth giving that a try, and experiment with brightness/contrast settings a bit as well to see what suits your eyes the most. If you can't see clearly, get glasses to sharpen the screen and have blue filter (so called computer glasses) which might add a bit of additional eye comfort, especially as eyes won't need to try to focus so hard, causing fatigue.

Send photo and waste sample to Bangkok governor. Sidewalks are managed by BMA. Don't forget the GPS coordinates...

What I am more interested in is how would airline at the other end of the World know whether to charge the fee or not, based on whether foreigner has a work permit? Are they experts in checking digital work permits as well? Or do you now have to carry work permit booklet with you on the trips? Ehm.... more interested in this than how collecting of tax would actually happen...

See! You can travel the World and don't even need to get your behind out of Pattaya!

Should have had an abortion on the second pregnancy...

Same as years ago - you had to hand over (I think it was 500 baht at that time) to leave the country, now you'll have to do it to enter the country. No cash, no entry. I think this one is more predictable and makes more sense than sayonara tax, as at that time many had no cash left and were begging others to be able to leave, unaware of that requirement. Mostly people still have money when arriving...

I have a novel idea... if dogs chomp up anyone, put down the dogs and their owner. If that doesn't eliminate the problem, nothing will.

No, they found a volunteer and replayed the same accident moments later to get the photo for Pattaya News, surely!

Seems the rest, like Rolex was already sold?

Having done that many times, both with extensions of stay and PR status - for both the procedure is the same: Ask the passport office in your country to only punch holes or whatever they do to invalidate passport on the blank pages at the end, but not your visa / extension page, and not your information page. When entering Thailand, show both passports. Officer will check your permission to enter from old passport, then stamp your new one. Sometimes a note will be added, which will point to page in previous passport where that permission of stay was stamped. Bon voyage!

They do not, Thai citizens can enter Turkey visa-free up to 30 days, no matter where they are arriving from.

Usually intent is not to download data. As having data inside cable or USB charger won't be so easily accessible. Intent is to install a malware through known OS vulnerabilities to run in the background, which intercepts traffic to extract data, and send it to online repository, accessible to threat actor. Probably the simplest attack would be Man in the middle (rerouting all data to go through actor's servers to extract information) and replay attacks where actor could mimic legitimate connection to the bank that was just established, to basically be logged into the session without knowing any credentials. User could minimize possibility of this happening by requiring OTP for any account changes, or transaction of any amount to second phone - NOT the one that has bank app!, which would require both phones to be compromised (or hack an SMS gateway, which would be extremely difficult).

Google up Juice-jacking. Microchips can be hiding inside USB chargers at public locations, or inside USB cables. They act like a computer host, which triggers an auto installation of malware into the phone when connected to such cable or charger. It is therefore always advised you plug your own charger into a power socket rather than use USB socket, and to use your own charging cables. Also disable USB data mode by default and only enable them when connected to trusted computer manually.

Hmm, no. Unless it is a US Skype number. Others won't receive SMS, only calls.

Tip to robber: have a getaway driver ready next time.

I think BTS should just stop the train service without notice on these extended lines as they operate on void contract anyway and wait for the people revolt.

Read the full linked article and last 2 paragraphs make it even a whole lot worse. You sign contract. You don't pay your obligations. The other party sues you and wins. You appeal, and claim the contract is illegal as you had no right to sign it anyway, therefore is void and you owe nothing. Amazing.

If immigration officer asked you what you were doing to make you so busy you could not come in the week before, what would you say (given your entry conditions)? You were touristing so hard you had no time to visit immigration? It's not like they aren't allowed to question illegal immigrants, as that's what you would be after midnight on Sunday night. As for CW - no, you can't as confirmed by an officer there.

They definitely were some years back. But in the last couple of years I've found them to be quite good. DTAC always had excellent support, so this may improve them further... Overall, compared to 10-20 years ago, seems all telecoms upped their game in support quality, as I doubt I've gotten more patient and forgiving in this time...
