I just looked again and can confirm the Adobe Reader is free versus the Acrobat versions. Here is the link. Scoll to lower part of site for download free version of just the reader.

https://www.adobe.com/th_en/acrobat/pdf-reader.html

Thanks again. Just been sooo long since I've done this, it's slowly coming back.

I found I could fill in the form, but couldn't include a signature as said protected.

Anyway all good, thanks for your help. 🙂

Thank you. Maybe when I initially went to the Adobe site they were selling me the pro version, but could not get the free version.

I will look at the site again. Thanks.

I need to edit and sign an online form.

Years ago I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader from The Pirate Bay site and used that program to edit and sign forms.

Now it seems to use Adobe Acrobat Reader is not free and there's all this garbage that comes with it, even using the free 7 day trial.

I still can't edit and sign a form, so I need time to play with the program and form. I'm only using my Android phone as no computer access.

Is there a site that I can download Acrobat Reader for free, or another similar program that will let me edit and sign an online pdf (downloadable) form?

Why do you need a fuse on a LED?

Our Aussie First Nation's mob ladies have a way of getting back at their man. They take a close-up of their (rymes with runt) and post.

That'll learn him.

I am sure they all could block VPNs if they want by just measuring the PING time, but I can't see why they would want to.

This geoblocking is crap. They say it's to protect content, but I think it's to do with adds.

If I look at the same overseas site and same program on both 3BB fibre internet connection, and True smartphone connection, at the same time, the program content is the same but the adds are different. 

So if the host site has lots of different feeds, they have lots of different adds = lots more money.

I reckon a way to get around blocking of VPN IPs would be to have a say Microsoft Server set up at your relations place and VPN to that server.

I've got express VPN but usually don't use UK servers.

I found the help is not very helpful.

Just keep plugging on with help requests, that's what I did and eventually prob. was sorted.

I think, the VPN server I was using in Aus had it's IP addresses blocked. Anyway all came good when they installed another server.

I'll switch to UK servers and try.

Well I tried the UK servers (2) and could not even register for BBC, kept dropping out my password.

Maybe BBC doesn't like me.

Sorry

Do the authorities honestly think reducing the exercise on liquor will encourage more tourist to come to Thailand?  The only benefactors will be large retail stores, breweries and liquor  producers located in Thailand.

And me.

I'm curious how you know such intimate details.

 

 

Puhleeze, the car was empty, bullet holes lower down on the door. Maybe he did it, maybe it was a message to back off Chakthip.

 

Huh. His number two transferred 300 million baht (via Minnie).

 

 

Again how do you know this?

 

 

 

Because? They survive of their salary and the good graces of Hapkarn?

 

 

Well done Rabu for posting what I believe also.

So instead of him answering how he knows these facts, how do you know they are not correct?

John was definitely possessed.

I went to our local Global House last week for some daylight bright LED bulbs, placed them in the trolley and a nice young assistant, took them out and put another brand lower wattage set of lights in the trolley, said the origional brand were no good, break quickly, but the new brand good.

I don't think he was on commission for the particular light brand, but, from experience, just being helpful.

I've taught in Aus, Indonesia, China and Thailand.

Should have a degree and TEFL (or equivalent).

Some language schools may just require a TEFL certificate.

You mainly should meet the requirements to get a work permit, that's why you need a degree.

Teaching anywhere without a work permit leaves you open to jail or abuse.

Many Asian countries have a retirement age of 60 years old.

OP you  can enter visa exempt or with setv.

You can then obtain a non O based on retirement at immigration. 

Requires 15+ days remaining on entry stamp.

Use TM86 for tourist visa entry or TM87 for visa exempt e try.

 

You require 800k on day of application.

That gives you 90 day stamp.

In last 30 days obtain 12 month extension. 

 

As you already have Bank account etc visa exempt entry will be fine .

This thread outlines procedure.

Sorry @DrJack54 , bit thick and old.

So I fly in with a completed TM87 and give to Imm at airport?

Then go to Kalasin with the Retirement O application, bank book etc.

That is why I buy from AliExpress, it may take up to 3 months (usually about a week) but you can get what you order and find almost anything.

 

Yes I have had items arrive faulty, resulting in a refund.

Yes I have had an incorrect item shipped, resulting in a refund or corrected item sent no cost

Yes I have had an item never arrive, resulting in a refund.

 

the percentage of problems is less than 0.01% of items purchased. The percentage of problems uncorrected is zero

Yes good idea. I've not had a problem, well a slight one, with them.

I found this supplier who seemed to have a good reputation with e-biked. I ordered 2 folding e-bikes to put in the SUV when we go away. The supplier went over time delivering and aliexpress said time was finished and the transaction was completed.

When the bikes did come and I assembled them, there was a couple of minor faults with one and a battery charger light, but because the supplier said they were special order, they wouldn't take them back.

Really it was probably my fault as much as the supplier.

With large orders (US$ 3000) I have to be a lot more careful and completely understand aliexpress policies.
