$14k+ in electric bills. How do they make a profit?

Get a good one. The air up here is now dangerous. Don't let price get in the way. Take the advice of members here. Get them locally at Siam TV or via Lazada. But get one. We still have another 6 weeks or so of this annual madness.

They'll make the smog a tourist attraction. They can rent double priced gas-masks to foreign tourists (Ok 10x what a Thai will pay). ????

I'll get back to you when after their support gets back to me.

The billionaires driving this insanity have beachfront properties globally. If the sea levels were expected to rise significantly? You would not be able to insure your beach-front property no less acquire title insurance on the property. And yet? Billionaires, Millionaires, and their government clones who do their bidding have - beach-front properties and properties in the low-lying areas they we are being expressly told are going to be flooded. If a city like Bangkok was going to be under water in the next 20, 30, 50, 100 years - there would be a MASS Exodus. But there isn't. If there was really a existential threat of sea level rises, the insurance companies would be first in line to shut down all forms of insurance for these properties. You would see all the cities near the coasts literally discriminate as businesses, private entities, as well as public entities would not be able to insure their properties. And yet? No problem Hello? Wake up clones.

I'll get back with the reason I'm asking this. It has something to do with changes with a VPN company I've been with for 6 years, but it looks like they made major changes to the VPN nodes in countries they used to service (days ago) plus they changed their subscription service without notifying me. I'm sorta not happy about that and due for a renewal soon.

I sent on last Friday March 3rd. I received it today, March 9th after 2pm. Transfer to SCB using the Wise code - 'for long-term stay in Thailand'. Here is the message I received from SCB (without my account or amount - but under 200K THB): There is a transfer of money xxxx baht from SAWASDEESHOP, account X-1661, SCB bank into account X-nnnn date 09/03/2023 @14:01 via ENET WTH is SAWASDEESHOP??? I'm going to have a long, hard discussion with Wise support. I've ask Wise to trace the transfer and give me a reason for the delay. SAWASDEESHOP - really? What the h***. Where does a firm called SAWASDEESHOP fit into the Thai banking system?

What VPN provider do you use and why do you like it?

Staying in Thailand after getting Thais fired may ultimately be rather fatal.

When does the burn ban start and end in Thailand?

Most recent transfer from Wise. Sent today but will not receive until Wednesday. Five days? Wow. "Seconds" huh?

If they start deporting tourists using a 'two-strikes you're out" scheme and then start tossing tourists for the same misdemeanors that Thais do all the time (example - riding without a helmet) - they will lose farang tourists as the Imm Detention Units fill up with deportees and the Western MSM gets wind of it. So that would mean that a helmetless forienger without a valid IDP and home country license would have an immediate two strikes and off to IDU for deportation. Not a good idea.
