especially with this kind of macho idiots with a brain the size of a chick pea.

I did not know they had brain that big - wow, we live and learn.

When in Thailand, I will stick to imported water thanks.

Each to their own but not a silly idea.The retail cost of bottled water bears no relationship to production cost - I would suggest that many bottled water companies use same marketing techniques as cosmetic companies, charge what they think the market can bear. Unfortunately, many consumers equate high price with top quality. And that folks is generally a load of rubbish (I was in the cosmetics industry for years)!

Most of the malware programs you might download are also malware.

 

If you want advice on malware etc... the worst place to look for it is on a Thailand forum,

 

A forum like bleeping computer might be more appropriate.

Some truth in those statements.

If you (the OP) still have the virus/s, don't waste your time, save your data, reformat and install new operating system and update. Try and install GENUINE Windows this time. I just see chasing your tail happening now.

And when downloading programs such as ccleaner, free antivirus (AVG or Avast) or MalwareBytes antimalware, ensure you download from the developers site and NOT from sites that have similar sounding names for their program (usually of dubious quality and likely to be loaded with unwanted features) especially PUP (potentially unwanted programs) which can be a bloody nuisance. Always look for "options" when installing so the "FREE" provider does not include a load of unwanted extras that they are being paid to pass on, you can usually opt out on most of these. If you're not sure, seek out some Windows forums for advice. And a free download does not always mean a free use of the program.

We have some of the toughests laws in the world in Australia for hoons and still they street race ,do donuts ect but teenagers are teenagers the world over no matter what law prevails . Only age and experience will eventually calm the exuberance of these kids down . Sometimes as we get older we forget what we did in our teens .

Eventually the street racers are relieved of their vehicles, later unfortunately than sooner.

Perhaps Thai street racers should have their vehicles taken off them immediately and not given back - crushed would be a good idea. Do you think that others may then understand?

Having been a teenager once myself, my love was my car and/or motorcycle. I would hate to not have them. I took to racing them on a circuit in races. The bullsh*t stops when the flag drops! Maybe a tough concept that for motormouths.

Owner of fallen condo compensates victims with 1 million baht

BANGKOK, 16 August 2014 (NNT) – Injured victims of the recent collapse of a condominium building in Pathum Thani and relatives of the dead will receive compensation worth 1 million baht in total from the project owner while one more engineer has reported himself to the police.

Governor of Pathum Thani Pongsathorn Sajjachonlaphun has accepted 1 million baht worth of compensation money from the owner of the collapsed U-Place Condominium in order to begin its distribution to all the victims. Out of the total, 55,000 baht will be paid to the family of each of the 14 people killed in the accident and the rest will be given to the wounded to cover their costs of treatment.

Concurrently, the Pathum Thani Social Security Office is also paying for medical expenses of the injured at not more than 300,000 baht per person. Another amount of 30,000 baht is being given to the families of the deceased for their funeral expenses.

Meanwhile, Mr Jira Khanman, the foreman of the condominium project, has come forward to the police after arrest warrants were issued for all involved. Mr Jira’s lawyer claimed he was in great distress following the accident as some of those killed were his colleagues. He was reportedly not at the construction site on the day as he was sick.

Chief of the National Council for Peace and Order Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha recently expressed his condolences over the tragedy, which claimed 14 lives and caused 25 injuries. He said the NCPO had been coordinating assistance for the victims from the beginning and would thoroughly investigate the accident in a bid to prevent its reoccurrence.

Must not only "prevent its re-occurence" but SEVERELY punish those who, collectively, allowed it to happen! Maybe, just maybe then it will not occur again.

a very one sided story,

Gaza is controlled by Israel like a big concentration camp,

it controls what goes in and out, they killing people at will,

the world should accept Gaza as a state and stop Israel killing it's people,

it is a shame to think that Israel do now the same to the Palestine people what the

Nazis have done to them, and this without punishment,

something has to be done

*Expletive deleted* It is the avowed intention of Hamas to eliminate Israel. Israel will defend itself. If Israel wanted to eliminate Gaza it could do very easily. Israel only want to get Hamas out of Gaza, that is all. Hamas hide behind women and children and then tell the world "look at what evil Israel is doing". Wake up and face the truth of what is happening. I am not Jew but I can understand what they are unfortunately doing, to protect themselves.

A NOT one sided story.

 

 

I always stay at hotels with their own beaches as Hua Hin has nothing to offer in that regard. But it is a clean town and at least its well kept and kind of cool looking, compared to most other town in Thailand which have no interesting architecture or soul.

 

 

But haven't you heard....No hotel has a beach.  The beaches belong to the people.

 

Last time i heard. The beaches belong to the King ?

 

King or people does not matter. But beach does not belong to vendors or their financial supporters.

Contaminants not removed from water by RO filters include dissolved gases such as hydrogen sulfide, a common nuisance contaminant with characteristic rotten egg odor, which passes through the RO membrane. Some pesticides, solvents and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are not removed by RO.

to remove those you use manganese zeolite (or greensand) and activated carbon.

The health effects of volatile organic compounds will depend on the nature of the volatile organic compound, the level of exposure, and the length of exposure. What VOCs contained in the water are you referring to?

 

Good to see proactive and not reactive! Well done.

 

If only  ...  City Airlines had been reported as stranding 300 Chinese tourists in Phuket, about a week ago, "when the charter aircraft that was supposed to pick them up broke down in Bangkok."

 

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/751074-airline-strands-300-chinese-tourists-at-phuket-airport/

 

And also  "This is not the first time City Airways has had delays; it recently had a similar issue, stranding passengers at Bangkok’s Don Meuang Airport." 

 

Damn - I was so hopeful of a cultural shift in dealing with problems. Que sera sera

The first question everybody should ask now is: "what was the real intention of having so many surrogate babies"?

And what happened to the babies that left already the premises as this has been going on before the Dawn baby?

Find this Japanese and find the truth.

Although, I rather would not like to hear the truth behind this.

The authorities had suspicions about the "Japanese" man but they let him leave the country? Why was his picture (and all other known details) not circulated to immigration points throughout Thailand to stop him from leaving despite his use of multiple passports? And they think he is going to voluntarily return to face an inquiry? I think not.

I actually witnessed them in action last weekend,,, Walking along beach road, right where it pretty much starts off walking street,, I saw a young Russian guy ride one in, and beach it where the operator indicated,, IMMEADIATLLY the operator starts yelling, pointing at, "damage",, within seconds is pulling out his phone, to show pics, (of course when brand new),,, I was about 30 ft away, standing on a balcony, acted like I was taking video, only holding my phone on the railing,,, got acousted by the

scammers buddies for taping it,,, They demanded to see my phone, I refused,, they continued several times,, threatened with, "give me your phone or you have big problem",,,, So you're attempting to rob me of my phone in BROAD DAYLIGHT, with people EVERYWHERE!?,,, F off,,, THEN the "beach police" arrive,,, I then did the same,,, I was then accousted by their buddies the, "beach police" for the SAME reason,,, demanded to see what I videoed, "REALLY?,,, I'm not allowed to video tape on the beach?",,

,AGAIN,, "delete,, or you have big problem",,, "REALLY?,,,, let's call the REAL police,, you know,, the ones with GUNS AND BADGES,,, I'll show THEM my video,, You want

that?",,,, of course not,,,, "Oh you have big problem with police here now",, So you're threatening me?,,, he finally just walked off,,,

I personally have had that exact thing happen. Nothing can be done when the powers that be are involved.

You could try complaining via the NCPO channels for complaints?

3G and 4G is about SPEED not about data size. 4G can be up to 20x faster than 3G. Usually 4G network can have 3G  as back up.

 

If it wasn't a point of law, then the police have no right to "request" anything.

Welcome to the new Thailand under Military Rule.

 

Huh? This or similar would not have happened before Military Rule?

Good to see proactive and not reactive! Well done.

This kind of problem can be corrected...the hundreds who DO actually die in hospitals due to incompetent hospital employees is a REAL problem...which they sweep under the rug...makes me nervous having to go to a hospital...putting your life in one's hands...who does not give a flip about you...

Mr Perfect, right? People do die in hospitals because they have been sick or injured. Sometimes from medical "misadventure". Generally speaking doctors and nurses do care about their patients and are not incompetent. I hope they do not recognise you when you may have to enter hospital!

As for the Australian hospital mentioned, at least they did not blame the computer system. I just hope that some supervisor or manager got their backside kicked very hard for causing any distress.

Will the PWA give a "guarantee" as to the safety of the water? Would they pay all medical expenses in the event of illness?

What is their method of treatment of the water? How often is it the treated water tested?

An easy "statement" on the part of the PWA! C'mon, let's get real here! I do not live in "fairy" land.

What a joke, The mains water in our village is pumped straight out of the river about 400 metres away, it then goes to a settlement tank in the grounds of our Wat & then is pumped up to a storage tank on top of a tower to enable gravity feed. It still comes out brown in the rainy season & with no sign of chlorine having ever been in it... I'm sure, as all my Thai neighbours & my wife know already, you would become very ill & die very quickly if you started drinking it... everyone here collects rain water off their roof in those big concrete pots in the rainy season & uses it year round for drinking water. I've been drinking this for 2 years with no ill effects, we're too far out in the sticks to be on a 20l bottled water round...

Drinking rain water off the roof could be okay BUT any lead used on roof? Any herbicides or pesticides used in area (spray drift onto roof), any bird droppings (contains bacteria)? Always best to filter if you have enough pressure to run a filter system. Otherwise chlorinate the water as a minimum and leave free standing overnight for chlorine to dissipate before drinking.

Vendors have more balls than sense when the NCPO has said that the beaches must be cleaned up and returned to the people.

I know it must be "inconvenient" for the vendors and their supporters who have been thumbing their noses at all and sundry for years. Well, now it it tough s**t! 

My girlfriend needs braces as she has a slight overbite . She comes back from the dentist and informs me that they need to be on for at least 3 years . I thought that was way to long and figured it was just another scam to get patients to return for adjustments that are not really necessary. She then informed me that she had several friends that have had braces for 6-7 years . Can anyone tell me what the the normal time frame is for braces ?

thaiortho.org

That website currently hosts malware! They need to be advised to clean it off. The malware is:

 

<script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script>

 

Simple solution: Buy a MAC!!!! This is not a joke, hence no smilie.

 

 

Get a mac or anything Unix based = its not technically possible to get a virus.

--

 

If PC:

Download kaspersky and clean the PC. 

I have been in the IT security business for 22years. 

Never use Internet Explorer.

Don’t use Exchange.

Don’t have ISS installed.

 

Don’t surf on porn sites. Don’t download ”free” software (<--- even IT veterans install virus with this).

Use sandboxing (win7+) for unknown .exe files.

 

If you want to look at funny sites on the net: Use an iPad or anything with iOS = its impossible to get virus/trojan/spyware or anything else since everything is signed by Apple + Sandboxing. (I mean: how fun is it to be a virus with sandboxing? ”look I want to do some evil virus things and log keys. Whoops.. I can’t see any keys. Lets delete some random files. Oh... I can only access my own files. So I delete my self)

 

 

And for our Norwegian friends:

 

”Hi

I am a virus. Please open your address book and send me to your 50 top friends.

Now delete some random files in c:/.

For example: c:/deltree *.*/r

 

 

Stop talking out of you <deleted> please.

 

The last 3 people that have asked me to get rid of virii/malware off their computers were Mac users, you know them systems where it's impossible for that to happen.

 

You make me laugh, keep on believing the myths you are told.

 

I completely disagree through experience.

 

I have run Macs for 15 years + and have never had a virus of any sort on any of them.  From the beginning iMacs to the latest MacBook Pro laptops, never a virus.  Ever.

 

As there are far more Windows operating systems in use though out the world, wouldn't it make sense to try and hack them for information than Macs? A better ROI. Simple maths really. Don't waste resources for a minimal return.

YAC is good http://www.yac.mx/ its malware cleaner is superb and I have replaced ccleaner with it  .. 

 

CCleaner don't remove malware.......

 

 

 

Re-read my note again .. I never said ccleaner was anything to do with malware or the cleaning of malware .... 

 

 

Sorry chum but thats how it reads to me.  But we ccleaned it up eh...
 

 

Read that way to me also. Maybe the poster does not have English as first language.

All too often the "authorities" are reactive and not proactive. And not only about dogs unfortunately! And slow learners?

"I was standing there right in front of the building when it crumbled down. I was shocked. My own son was working on the sixth floor of the building at the time of the accident," Diao told police.

Then Diao WILL BE ABLE to tell the Police who was supervising! He and his son were there.

City Hall WILL deal with these problems when one of their family members gets bitten! They will not be "too busy": then.

 

good for all the hi-so's so they can spend another 25k baht on their newest must-have

 

Know what you mean there.

 

The wife's got a 2 year old Samsung Note and was playing with an I Phone 5 in a mall the other day, the Note was still way better in every department like browsing and ease of usage.

 

Why keep throwing money away when the new stuff isn't markedly better? Just my take on it yet I'm sure millions will still rush out to buy one.

 

It is all about the "name" not whether it is good or good value. Bling rules!
