Seems OK today

When I try to access https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport using Microsoft Edge  I get

When I use Google - no problem. Any ideas why.

Anyone recommend a supplier in Thailand of Colostomy Bags. I currently use a company in Bangkok but the manufacturer Convatec have just brought out a new design which I would like to try and they do not send free samples to Thailand from the USA.

The actual piratebay site appears to be ok. I think you will find the.asia site is a mirror to the actual site. try thepiratebay.org

The Asia site contained many more entries for each search

The last 24 hours I have been unable to access https://thepiratebay.asia/  .  Anybody else having a similar problem?

It's quite possible that your TV has an issue ???? 

You could try powering it off completely (pull the plug), have a coffee beer then try again.

 

Does the TV have a second HDMI you can try?

 

 

I don't have a second HDMI but the TV does have USB port. Could I use a HDMI to USB converter like this one from Lazada. to  solve problem.

Have you checked that TV is set to receive the HDMI channel?  It might have switched to something else during a power failure.

Yes checked this and cable still works.

Maybe do similar with the other machines at the same time and only try connecting one at a time without the three way box (at first) after you finish your beer(s)!

Tried that and still no good. Worked ok with another small tv we have with 3 way box.

Only 1 HDMI   7 y o TV. Maybe time for a new one.

I returned home after a heavy storm today and encountered the following problems:-

I have a 3 way HDMI switcher

My 1st laptop was not displaying on my TV

Same problem with the 2nd one

My  Android box was displaying nothing

I tried connecting each one directly to TV   HDMI slot but still nothing.

Is it possible that the storm affected the HDMI connection on the TV. I once had it destroyed on a laptop.

I am thinking of switching from Global to iView due to buffering at weekend. Anyone have experience with this provider.

Thinking of trying iView. Anybody use that?

As others have pointed out...  The Dashcam will have an internal battery which maintains the settings and time etc..   

 

What model of Dash-cam is it ?.....  

 

You may be able to open up the dash-cam and change out the battery yourself (it’ll very likely be like a watch battery etc). 

 

 

 

 

Every time I start my car and the dashcam becomes operational it states date and time as 01 01 2019 / 00,00.01 .

I reset it to the correct setting and it stays correct until I start my next journey. Any ideas why this happens or how to correct it? 

I go every 6 months to Bangkok Pattaya after several unsuccessful, painful visits to a few different clinics. Excellent service and equipment used for under 2000 baht for both ears.

Lazada will not accept my Visa credit card issued by an American bank they say because it has an American billing address.  My credit card issuing bank requires an American billing address.  Any suggestions?

Also, can I use my Bangkok Bank account with my retirement qualifying 800,000 TB to qualify for a Bangkok Bank secured credit card without jeopardizing my retirement visa requirement?

I have to maintain at least 20,000 baht in a separate account with Bangkok bank to support my credit card. When I go below this figure due to credit card payments, I have to make a monthly payment to at least have that amount back in the account.

I think you are right, other payment methods are like this

 

 

 

But I can't open my wallet on my laptop

You can add a new card number when you buy something, I've not found any way to do it otherwise ???? 

 

If you bought your refundable item using the card that's now expired, they can still refund to it and it will be credited to the new card number by the bank.

 

If you have a pink ID card you can activate your wallet as a foreigner. Otherwise, any refunds that go to the wallet can be withdrawn to your bank, when your refund is processed you will receive instructions on how to do it.

 

Thanks for useful info and have successfully added new card now. The purchase that is being refunded was COD. Can I still get refund to new card?

The credit card referred to on my Lazada account has expired and I cannot find out how to enter the new number. Can anyone help. I am due a refund but I only use my laptop for purchases and so as a non-Thai I am not able to open my wallet. If I sort out my credit card problem can I pay my refund into that.

I am trying to change my credit card number but got the following message. How do I update it.

I have been advised by the Inland Revenue in the UK that they will be sending to me  in Thailand,  a cheque for £ 150  for overpayment of tax last year. I have tried accessing their website to request  an internet transfer but it has turned out very difficult to make contact with them.

Will it be possible to pay this in to the sterling account I have at Bangkok Bank and if so what charge could I expect to pay (I could ask them directly but it is not always easy to get straightforward answers at my branch and phoning head office can also sometimes be difficult).

If not, then I would send it to a relative in England to pay it into my Nationwide account there which is where my pension payments are made into. Would I need to write anything of authorization on the back of it, sign it or provide them with a covering letter.

You really should read the many threads on this, with the latest information.

But the answer is NO......no vaccination checks in Bangkok SUV on arrival.

Although he will need to show vaccination book/certificate at checkin.

You really should read my post. I was not asking about vaccination checks, I was asking about clear of virus check.

I have a friend returning to Thailand next week from Holland having been there for a few months. He has had 4 Covid jabs and has a valid up to date Thailand retirement visa. Is it still a requirement to show documentation for a clean Covid test on arrival and if so what is the maximum time before, that it can be done?
