Bangkok considers adjusting entertainment venue zoning
tomazbodner replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Yes, AI CCTV cameras in all entertainment zones, live streamed on the internet is a great idea. Doubt many members here would agree... -
Your Windows License Will Expire Soon. ---> Lazada Keys?
tomazbodner replied to NoDisplayName's topic in IT and Computers
There are sellers that offer 89 or 99 baht stolen keys, which probably work fine. There are also 500-1200 baht offers of genuine packs, where DVDs are obviously cheaper than those with USB stick inside. Some examples: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/windows-10-pro-64bit-oei-dvd-i1092924211.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/windows-10-pro-3264bit-fpp-full-box-i1474640349.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/windows-10-pro-fpp-hav-00060-10-i2605084559.html You can see the reviews, but 5star review by many doesn't mean that keys will work in the future. Generally, those keys, even 89 baht ones, don't expire after 6 months. -

TCC Opposes Pricey Fares for Green Line Extension
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
How about letting the operator who coughed up the money to build the tracks dictate what using of the trains costs instead of controlling the price like a communist country? If the price is too high, people can't afford it, they stop using it. BTSC re-evaluates and puts up promotions or lowers the ticket costs. Or stops the service. It's up to them, it's their track and their trains. -

I just went up and down RT, and there's 0 mentioning of anything OP says. With my broken Russian I can't find it on any of the other Russian media sites either. Where's the link to original reporting? Hopefully not theonion.com...

Toll gate’s roof collapses due to heavy winds in Chonburi area
tomazbodner replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
And that's just a couple of days after that u-turn bridge collapsed in Samut Sakhorn, killing a few. It really makes it clear why Thais just do not enter into any building under renovation or such - they can just see disaster looming. But... for some reason they have no such fear on the roads or when in long abandoned building that could collapse at any moment... Strange people. -
Thailand Closely Monitors Situations in Taiwan Strait
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If you load this in Chrome and translate to English, you'll see what China is actually doing in the military exercise - and it is to choke Taiwan. https://news.haiwainet.cn/n/2022/0803/c3541083-32465935.html Marked areas are those that exercises are at. All around TW. In article you have explanation why each of them matter and how they cripple Taiwan. -
Agree. If you have a mix of uric acid + calcium stones, Uralyt is a better choice (happens if you have high uric acid but drink mineral water full of calcium... they get coated, and they are very hard to melt off), but possibly more convenient to carry around, are Pocitrin Tab pills. But note that Pocitrin will give you stomach cramps much worse than Uralyt. On the other hand Uralyt is mixed with water so you need to get used to the taste of it. Although compared to 20 years ago, it tastes much less disgusting now. Not quite pleasant, but no longer gross.

Gout is caused by accumulation of uric acid. Sometimes change of diet helps, many times it doesn't. Sometimes it causes kidney stones only, sometimes gout, sometimes both. There is a medicine to treat gout but you need to be very careful with it and clear it with your urologist as it could have severe side effects. Other than foul smelling urine and very fine sand flushing out. It is Benzbromarone ***, in Thailand sold under Benarone brand. It intercepts purine from food so it doesn't turn into uric acid, and gives your body a chance to clear it out. From point of how to treat gout attack, NSADs like Nurofen Zavance (spiced up Ibuprofen) could be very effective, but do not take it if you are controlling blood pressure with Valsartan. It can lead to renal failure (kidney failure). [EDIT: Removing diet part as post above from Andre covered all and more] *** note, Benzbromarone is banned in EU due to side effects. I am not advertizing it, just saying it worked very well for me. Got mine from hospital first, but later from Diamond pharmacy opposite Siriraj hospital entrance. It is actually quite cheap (unless bought from hospital pharmacy).

Air Hostess job : Could it be a scam?
tomazbodner replied to 2long's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Maybe to add, even if address is something @emirates.com, that could still be fake. While not normally visible, there is actually an email header which some mail programs can show - the headers show the entire path of where email was sent from and how it routed to your server. Usually there's IP address for the computer sending email. You can check where IP originates from, so if it claims to be from Emirates office in Bangkok but you find out it's sent from another country, you should worry. Sometimes there could also be spellings in the name, like [email protected]... now that I is not I but a small L. Or sender could make name Emirates HR <[email protected]> instead of just Emirates HR. In this case your email software could show this address but in reality it could be some garbage that it only shows when you hover over it. Lots of scams online, so it pays to be vigilant. But as many say before - scams are designed to relieve victim of money or gather financial data or something that allow them to get that later, or maybe get personal data to enable identity theft. Easiest to see is - did she apply? If she did, did they address her with her full name as in application? Or did the message say Dear [email protected] or Dear Applicant? Did they request any payments for anything up-front, or to provide any documentation which was already submitted? Did the terms just change? We need to inform you of slight change. Please resend information to another email address? If they booked her flight, was it on Emirates? I know, stupid question, and I can't imagine anyone could be stupid enough to try to scam someone with Emirates job offer then book them flight on another airline... But you never know, some scammers are dumb. Did the contact details (usually when informed you've been approved, you need to accept offer, right?) change from official ones? I know this goes too far and it's most likely all good for her, but given how many times we read of scams succeeding, I thought it just may give a few additional bits that were seen very recently, and were stopped at last moment or even succeeded. Ah, last one - if you see a combined email with inconsistent fonts (like contents being combined from different threads, different paragraphs in different fonts or sizes), that's also usually a clear give-away. Saw that a lot. Admin - if this is inappropriate, please wipe it. -
I believe 3BB (Jasmine) is about to be taken over by AIS. Regardless, AIS Fiber, 3BB Fiber, and True Gigatex are all stable with very few interruptions, mostly announced. I used both and don't really have preference.

tomazbodner replied to ilikethai's topic in General Topics
Never bought from overseas on Shopee, but for Lazada, all import taxes, etc. are included in the price. If you pay at time of purchase (price + shipping), there are no additional fees or taxes to be paid. All is included. -

Saw a Thai doing that before... exchanging 2x 1000 baht note with 20 baht notes at the bank. Apparently it saved money, as it would make purchases look more expensive, or something like that. Maybe this bloke had a Thai girlfriend sharing the money management tips? I'm sure going into a gogo bar wasn't her advice, though...
