  1. Sensible opinion , given the way of life in Thailand . I am of the same opinion .
  2. I 100% agree with your view . However here in Thailand these 2 probably innocent guys will be found guilty . As in my earlier post , where is the cop video prior to the stopping of the 2 farangs and the start of the resistance . Highway robbery has to be considered .
  3. Router has no VPN details . Rebooted and VPN switched off before reboot . Same result , " Access Denied " please turn off your VPN
  4. I would like to view the entire cop camera video from before the arrest and the start of the resistance . Thai traffic cops are known to extort money from innocent falangs . With a gun to your head and a cocked trigger , I would not be surprised at resistance
  5. Wizz TV says access denied because I am using a VPN but it is turned off . Can they still detect that the VPN is installed ? rather puzzling
  6. BTW , the headline said Two New Zealand men arrested for brutal assault on Thai cop , That is BS , they were wrestling for the gun because they were scared for their lives .
  7. Thanks but 1 of the IPTV providers (Wizz TV ) say that their app has its own built in VPN . I do have Surfshark which I only use on my laptop .
  8. Thanks . Should have said that one of the IPTV can play movies and all the programmes listings are shown but will not open .I am with 3BB and pay for a V.I.P. service that guarantees no less than 200 Mbps download but in reality , often way under . My other problem is I do not speak Thai and my wife hates complaining . Will speak to 3BB today . BTW , I am not using a VPN
  9. I have 2 X95 IPTV boxes , 2 different companies . Both of them are not working ( did before ) . I have 2 stand alone TV sets that are fed via separate ethernet cables . Both TVs can run Youtube , Google and Loox TV . Download 200 Mbps Upload 190 Mbps . IPTV tech says definitely a problem at my end because they are up and running !00 % . Anyone got ideas ?
  10. I have been saying that for some time . Original system was much better without anonymous emojis
  11. Thai is a real possibility but will the video that shows that be available ? I think not . How can the 2 guys be condemned on the video shown , without showing the whole event ? However , sorry to say but the 2 NZ guys have got no chance of being acquitted but maybe only via a big fine and deportation at best . Possible scenario , 2 falangs , easy money target , wrongly accused of traffic offences , argued their innocence , police draw gun to enforce their stance , point gun at falangs who fear for their lives and try to grab the gun etc .
  12. Looks like you can fry eggs to perfection , unlike many Thai kitchens that serve up an over fried egg with a hard yolk and colour brown around the outside of the whites . For me , the fried egg is the last part of a breakfast that I make and important to get it right .
  13. This I have heard but how do you get access to see what reprocessed assets the banks want to sell ?
  14. Have T.A.T. taken into account the expensive cost of long haul flights ? Money is tight throughout Europe and the disposable income for many does not exist . Staying in country or within Europe for most . UK holiday bookings are up .
  15. Many thanks Sheryl for your info . I forgot to mention that reflux is a problem and I have been on Omeprazole for 15 years . I have read that it can reduce the intake of vitamins to your body because of stomach acid reduction . As regards BUN I cannot see that on my blood test results , however HCT was low at 34% . My diasttolic b/p hovers around 60 and seldom hits 70 . Systolic ranges from 114 to 149 at rest . Today B/P was 129 / 63 . Doctor told me to have another blood test after 1 month on the iron tablets and vit B . I will start the HCTZ tomorrow morning after breakfast .
  16. I have found out that I am anemic . I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy , both were OK . My mother was also anemic , without any known causes . I have been on Losartan for 15 years or more and now my doctor has given me hydrochlorothiazide or HCTZ 50 mg . I have not started them yet because Google says they can cause dizziness and I already have vertigo which I think comes with anemia . Below an abstract A reduction in hemoglobin concentration in a patient who is receiving treatment for hypertension and does not have an obvious source of blood loss should account for potential antihypertensive therapy involvement. My last blood test showed hemoglobin levels at 10.4 where anything below 11.9 for a male is considered low . My doctor thinks that my loss of balance may be caused by Losartan . I am now taking ferrous sulphate and a vitamin B complex . What are your thoughts on the HCTZ 50 mg ? Would you recommend another medicine ?
  17. Booking with agents may get you a cheaper ticket but if there is a cancellation of your flight , you are on your own if booked with an agent , as you have said . If booked with an airline direct and the flight is cancelled the airline will offer an alternative flight . However , recovering your money from a cancellation is not always straight forward , often with agents and sometimes with airlines . That is why it is prudent to take out a travel insurance at the time of booking because the insurer will pay you out whilst dealing with the agent / airline . Further more , there are many dodgy agents out there and some show a London office but they are often based in India and the Indian agent says his name is Dave , Mike , Peter etc . It was such a company that ripped me off for a grand but I recovered it within 1 week using my banks fraud team . Lastly the likes of Momondo , Skyscanner , Kayak etc , are not direct agents , they are third parties acting for many direct agencies . Not forgetting that when booking with agencies you must check your luggage allowance as often that come as an expensive extra . Unlike with airlines , booking with agents , sometimes does not give you the option to select your seats which could be a problem if travelling with family or friends which could mean you are sat apart , especially on a popular flight .
  18. Did you know that long term use of Losartan causes anemia ?
  19. I think he will be re- elected for Islington North as an Independent and will give Starmer some grief in revenge for losing the whip .
  20. Thanks . I clicked on the link and they only showed Eva Air . So I went to the Thai Air web page direct and their cheapest on the dates shown came to GDP 1255 round trip . Eva were GDP 1337
  21. But Corbyn will not go away . He is now an independent and will probably get re-elected at the general election and sit in the House of Commons where he will have his say and probably annoy Starmer . Revenge is sweet .
  22. Had both eyes done for cataracts in the UK and was given eye drops as an anesthetic . But an injection into the eye would not be for me . Is that only done in Thailand ? Both my ops were done in private eye hospitals that treated only eyes . Including pre-op preparation , I was there both times for 3 hours and then on my way home in a taxi . There after , eye drops 3 times a day for 2 weeks and also a plastic eye patch that was worn at nights to stop any rubbing on the eye . Check up after 1 month . Thai guy in Bangkok had the cataract op and said he stayed in for one night and home the next day but had no eye drops . My local Thai government hospital does about 14 cataract operations a day , carried out by a lady eye surgeon . Free for Thai but farangs 25,000 baht per eye , including an overnight stay in a non V.I.P. room
  23. K. Starmer has said that if Labour are elected they will retain the triple lock on UK State pensions and freeze the age of pension qualification at 66 years old . I for one would like to hear his reply , ( say on BBC Question Time ) , if asked if Labour would unfreeze pensions for those living abroad . At best I reckon it would be a political type reply without committal . The grey votes exceed 500,000 . so it is not to be sneered at .
  24. https://frozenbritishpensions.org/jeremy-corbyn-gives-labours-backing-pension-unfreezing/ Will Labour honour the pledge of the link above , if they are elected ?
  25. You are quoting agency prices . I will never buy from an agency having been ripped off once ( eventually recovered 1000 pounds ) . I buy direct with the airways . It maybe a bit pricier but it is far safer .
