    VPN's

    I am having trouble accessing ITV and BBC (particularly I Player) with my Surfshark VPN and the problems keeping a connection are getting worse each week. Any recommendations from readers re another provider with reliable performance at a good price. I mostly use VPN for this purpose and occasionally to access a site where I am considered to be a UK resident.
  2. Great. I also tried that and all is OK
  3. Suddenly this week any product that I search for on Lazada, the price is shown in US dollars. If I proceed to buy it, then it switches to Thai baht. I am not using a VPN. Is there any setting I can change to correct this?
  4. I am located in Thailand, I have recently been getting messages like this when trying to access my normal websites like Lazada, Facebook, BBC sports. When I switch to my Surfshark VPN, all is OK. This problem has coincided with Thailand being removed from my list of locations and I was therefore wondering if there was any connection between the two. I thought that there may be some sites like my bank or Lazada that would query if I was connecting to them from a country other than Thailand.
  5. I have been using Surfshark VPN for a while and have noticed that in the last week, Thailand has been removed as one of the locations you can link to. Does anyone know why this has happened and if it affects anything when using it?
  6. Is it recommended to clear cache and browsing history if using Microsoft Edge? If so, how frequently and what is the best way to do it?
  7. Thanks for all the suggestions / ideas but I do not understand why all is OK when I am using VPN linked to the UK or Thailand. Although it is a little slower I think I will keep this on now all the time.
  8. I have date time correct. I am using TMN network from home on my own private Acer laptop. I only use Microsoft Edge antivirus. I am over 80 years old so find trying to solve this problem quite stressful but at least I can operate OK using VPN to Thailand/ Uk depending on which site I am visiting. What puzzles me is that it might work OK on a site a couple of time and then on that same site I will then get the warning.
  9. It is now coming up with the following on several sites but again works OK with VPN
  10. This morning when trying to access several websites that I normally access daily with no problem including this one I am getting the following message. This happens even when I switch to a different browser. When I switch to my Thai VPN all works OK. Any ideas why this is happening.
  11. Where can I go in Pattaya for 4th Covid shot and is there a charge. Had 3rd one 5 months ago.

  13. A friend has just explained the difficult situation his wife finds herself in: - She had an operation 1 month ago to remove a, malignant tumor from her stomach. Subsequent biopsy showed that they had removed the tumor and there was no cancer in the surrounding lymph nodes. Last week they met the oncologist at Bangkok Pattaya hospital and she recommended a 12-treatment regime of chemotherapy over 24 weeks. They said that she would be infused and needed to stay in hospital for 2 nights each time. The cost per treatment was 150,000 THB or 1.8m THB. On Saturday they visited again and they recommended she should have a pod on her chest to do the infusion, a 1-hour operation which would cost 120-150,000 THB. They then got a call from the hospital saying the insurance had only given O.K for 1 night stay, and we had to pay the second night. He asked the oncologist why she needed chemo if her results were clear. She said that there was a 70% chance of it returning within 5 years, but with chemo it was 30% chance. She also had a PET scan in BKK and nothing was found outside of her stomach area, that was before the operation. Questions 1. Is a 2 night stay necessary for an infusion? 2. Should she do the chemotherapy? Can Sheryl or any other knowledgeable forum member give any useful advice for me to pass on to him.
  14. Any idea what an agents fees might be?
  15. I have Thai friend who is purchasing a second hand car from a falang. What is the norm for who pays an agent to have all the necessary paperwork that is required to change the owners name. Is it the buyer or the seller?
  16. Just had feedback from my Pyathai Dr and he has confirmed that Euthyrox should be taken on an empty stomach and not with Omeprazole, so I will now take one when I get up in the morning and the other when I go to bed at night.
  17. Many thanks for your comments which I will follow. I was concerned as I had read on Euthyrox: Side Effects, Uses & Dosage - Drugs.com
  18. Mine is Multi Vitamin 70+ and choice of diet is not always easy living in Thailand. My concern is not what I take but when.
  19. I take the following medicines / vitamins daily (some before breakfast, some after and some after dinner). I have had conflicting advice from different hospitals on which to take and when and was hoping I might get some useful advice here as I am 81 and recovering from several serious medical conditions and believe that the effectiveness of the various medicines can be affected by when I take them. ** Before breakfast ** Omeprazole 20mg Euthyrox ** After breakfast ** Diovan 40mg Tumeric/Curcumin + 5% Piperin Mevalotin 40mg Cod Liver Oil 1000mg ** After dinner ** Tumeric/Curcumin + 5% Piperin Aspirin 81mg Glucosamine & Chondroitin Multi Vitamin 70+
