This is a longshot, but does anyone here know if the skin cancer drug Erivedge is available?

Is it still not allowed to use a foreign insurer whose policy would otherwise meet the coverage requirements?

Since never has anyone on these forums been on the wrong side of a trade, it goes without saying that you made at least a six figure profit.

At this moment I'm using AIS 4g and streaming Netflix. I find my service is on par with my PlanetFiber DSL. I have not tried AIS 5g. However, if I could get s strong signal in my room I would use it as a hotspot and cancel/ not renew my Planet Fiber DSL. Cable is not an option at my location. Only DSL or Cell.
What is PlanetFiber?

I guess my question would be, How widely available (if at all) is actual 5G service in Thailand? It also seems to me that even if available for phone service the average user would be unable to notice any change in speed or quality. To my way of thinking 5G phones are sold here only because they are the phones being made for parts of they world that actually have the service already in place.
5G on the N41 (2500MHz) band is widely available in Bangkok and Chiang Mai and probably other population centers. Whether it's worthwhile is another matter. It is faster than LTE but as many other people are commenting in this thread, most people don't need anything faster than LTE on their phone.

Hodl but you should lock in your profit once in awhile unless you just enjoy watching it ride.
I thought that HODL meant to not sell any of it.

Some pharmacies sell it over the counter illegally but often they are fakes. If you have a legitimate medical need for it, get it from a hospital.

Maybe they bought at 50K and Sold at 60,000. Nice 20% profit in a short time. Maybe next they shorted at 60,000 and are making big profits now. Maybe. You never know, so no reason to assume the worst case outcome.
Yes, that's usually what happens. But isn't the mantra HODL?

"Still he was adamant that people were free to grow the plant for medicinal use providing it had less than 0.2% THC. "
Is 0.2% considered to be a high concentration of THC? -

It is probably your Internet Service Provider throttling international download speeds.
Check your download speed using testmy.net and select a download server in either the US or the UK.
In general, the minimum bandwidth for IPTV streaming is 25Mbps for standard definition video and 30Mbps for high definition video. See more information on the subject here.
What IPTV service are you using?
Those estimates of the required bandwidth for SD and HD video sound way high, unless they are assuming that having average download speed of 30 Mbps that it sometimes would be dropping much lower than that. And if the limitation was bandwidth on his end, shouldn't movies have just as much of a problem as live TV?
If using Kodi, you can check to see the actual bandwidth being used in real-time using the keyboard shortcut Ctr-Shift-O while something is playing. What I find with that is that with 1080p content ripped from a Blu-Ray and streamed from a NAS that the above mentioned 30 Mps is sometimes consumed but more typically there's quite a bit of compression has been applied and it will be closer to 10 Mbps on pirated MKV files; and much less than that when streaming from commercial sources.- 1

If you’re talking about a pirate IPTV service, many of them are oversubscribed, in which case the freezing might just be because there isn’t enough bandwidth at the source. If the problem is throttling by your ISP in Thailand, using a VPN might help. The Ethernet on your Android box being limited to 100 Mbps is unlikely to be part of the problem.

If you're having trouble getting an AIS SIMM to connect to 5G in a phone that definitely supports band n41, that's an issue that might require a call to AIS for their help. I put a AIS Power 4 SIMM in a new 5G phone and bought a 5G topup package and it still wasn't working. After a couple of days of trying everything that I could think of to no avail, I called AIS and it turned out that there was something that needed to be enabled on their end.
Also, if you're trying to find out which 5G band your phone is connected to rather than just whether it's connected to 5G, on Samsung phones you can find that out by dialing *#0011# and then looking for a parameter called NR_BAND. -

Samui was ruined through over development completed by the building of the airport. Hopefully, that kind of dreadful mass tourism will never return and a less crass, less brash environmentaly friendly tourism will develop. The airport ruined it
Didn't the airport open in 1991?

Google Maps says that Tropical Murphy's in Chaweng is "Temporarily Closed", I assume because of Covid19. Is it expected that it will re-open at some point?

AFAIK, this phone would only work (5G) on n41 (2500) with T-Mobile in the U.S. and the same band here on AIS and TrueMove. It will work on 4G/LTE, 3G, etc in the U.S. as well.

5G Ultra Capacity, darkest color, drill down.
I'm confused though. AIS seems to be saying that their 5G is operating at 2600MHz and in some places I see that referred to as n41. However the 3GPP spec says that n41 is 2500MHz, and that's what the spectrum that T-Mobile acquired from Sprint is.

That does sound like it might be a good compromise but I’m having trouble figuring out from that T-Mobile map where they have n41 5G. They show two flavors of 5G: “Ultra Capacity” and “Extended Range”. Most of the map shows the 5G as being Extended Range, and I think that’s on the 600MHz band. Their “Ultra Capacity” might be a mix of 2500MHz and mmWave but I don’t see that specifically stated anywhere.

I think you need to understand the provider's networks as well.
And how broad their Sub-6 or mmWave coverage might be.
For the U.S. I'd focus on 4G/LTE compatibility. It's plenty fast enough, and has extremely broad coverage, and is available via MVNOs.
Not sure there's one answer to this question right now. Even high-end phones like iPhone 13 and Pixel 6 Pro have different models.
And 5G may not even be available for visitors, tourists, pre-paid, MVNO (in countries outside of Thailand).
I doubt a Samsung A8 (2018) supports 5G. It should work fine both here and in the U.S. on 4G/LTE. And there are ~ 7 different S21+ models.
Net-net it's still way too early to future-proof a 5G HW purchase today. You can prioritize, but there will be trade-offs.
Thanks for those insights. I've found 4G LTE compatibility of an iPhone7 to be good between Thailand and the US, so if 5G compatibility is out of the question and one should focus on 4G/LTE then answer to the original post boils down to "don't buy a new phone".

I bought both a Samsung S21+ and a Samsung A8(2018) in Thailand and have been using them in the US on both AT&T and T-Mobile with no issues. Just my 2 satang input.
Thanks for that input. I assume you mean that they connect to 5G both here and in the US and that they weren't dropping back to LTE (4G) in the US.

Yes, it's confirmed. Excision might be an option but since it involves multiple spots over a large area it would not be a trivial surgery.
