Hello, 

I know and use computers much more than smarphones, so I am not a specialist : last year, I bought an Asus Zenphone laser 2 for me ( about 5000 , enough, I don't work with it ) and now I want to buy an other Asus phone for my girlfriend 

she just uses ( very much ) her phone for Facebook ( of course ), speaking with friends , looking at news and she takes pictures and videos very much

There are many Asus models, the one I have is too  sophisticated , I think, for what she needs ; Lazada has many Easus phones and I don't know what to buy for  her 

there are " Asus Zenfone Go , which difference with ZenFone 2 laser ? I want one which takes nice pictures ( the zenfone 2 laser is good , but does she needs the same than mine, her needs are basic ) ?

thanks

The UK alone is weak,its past glories are long gone, it needs to stand united with Europe. Merkel among others has seen that America cares only for America, there is no special relationship although the lip service remains. There are 4 big leagues, America, China/Asia, Russia and EU, The UK alone has no influence,it is time it lost its 'little Englaender' title.

I suppose you are English and I appreciate your objective opinion; yes, Britain, ( like France , my country ) is not a great nation anymore, we need to be united, and yes , in 2017 there are 4 big leagues, EU is one of them, and England alone is weak , it's dangerous to be alone

They are just as worried as we are about brexit, they would take us back with open arms. 

Worried ? EU is ready for negotiation since last year ( one year already ! ), it's Britain which is very slow ; why would we take you back with open arms ? you want to leave, you leave ; nobody is worried, don't dream of it

 Merkel has had a go now its the frogs turn. Can't the EU come up with a spokesperson? 

It's just that the frogs tell to the beefsteaks: " before you lose ( almost ) everything, we give you a last occasion to stay with us " ; is it too difficult to understand for a beefsteak brain ? 

no, I don't live in Bangkok, best solution is online , and " advice ", above, has one for my 4349 laptop

No change under the "type of service ", may be it's very new, it's the first time for a long time that I do a test; if so, normally they will low the price because the new promotion is 700 bahts and I pay 750 bahts 

I shall have a  look at my bill next month  thanks for your response 

today, I received my new bill, and if the price stays the same ( normal, after all, I am not a new customer ), under the " type of service ", something changes : before, it was  "strong fiber up to 30 Mb/ 15 Mb ", and now, it is " strong fiber up to 80 Mb/20 Mb" ; now, I have 50  Mb, I suppose that in the future, I shall get a new upgrade to 80 Mb, always with the price : good !

but they never told me anything, not even an e-mail

Trump is the best President since Lincoln, a man with Balls of Steel and you Lefties hate it! 

I am disapointed, I thougt that  people who decided to live in Issan where interesting and clever people, but you show that there are also stupid people 

maybe Trump has balls but he shows to the the world ( I am European, not American ) that he has a small brain 

it's true, has said everywhere on this forum, that with Trump , USA lose much of their prestige around the world; maybe China will remplace USA ? 

now we know that there are stupid people in USA

It's not only an american problem, it's a world problem, global warming and it's consequence have  no boundaries  , we need a world action, not only the small changes USA has done these last years  inside their own boundaries 

In Europe, it is expected that Spain will become a desert, because Sahara will expand, south of France more dry than before ; Thailand ? maybe not hotter, but more rains, like the other hot countries 

think of the next generations,  2 degrees C more, many things will change for the next centuries , sea level  higher  in Bangladesh and so on ;  don't be selfish and short sight like Trump 

It's true that with a big nut like Trump, many things will change, but it's difficult nowadays to live without USA; but it can be a good opportunity for Europe to live by itself  and  with less american influence 

But I , as a fervent European guy, I am very sorry for American people and the rest of the world, to have a such idiot as president ; but do you think Clinton ( Hillary ) could be better ? 

He is a shame for mankind ; why , fellow Americans, you don't put somebody else  as president? this one is ridiculous, it's a pity that he is the leader of the most powerful country in the world

To get an idea how far away fiber cables are, drive around and lookout for these "cable circles":

These are fiberoptic cables.

ToT could make an offer depending on distance.

Visit the next ToT office.

But be prepared for a 5 digit installation cost for an individual line.

 

I live in country side, 3 bb cant'go to my house , so I asked TOT , they installed an individual fiber line and  I am very satisfied ( 50/20 ) 750 bahts / months, TOT is good for remote places

I'll guess that's about a 10,000 BTU aircon then (depends upon what you set temperature is).

it's an 8.5000 BTU ( small room ) ; 28 ° instead fo 40 °

We have a bottom freezer Panasonic. My wife is short and a bottom freezer suits her. Panasonic was the only brand offering the bottom freezer. It is a pretty large unit and has been entirely trouble free for about 8 years. 

 

My condo has an old Toshiba, push button to defrost. That is a pain and I will be buying another soon. Probably another Panasonic double door frost free.

Thanks all  for your replies; Panasonic seems good, Lazada sells some with frost free system and inverter ( about 12000 bahts ) ; I take bookmarks and will show to my GF 

for the question of inverter, my electricity bill shows that my A/C, for about 130-140 hours works, I pay about 200 bahts more, so I think it's efficient , at least for A/C, why not for fridges ? 

Hello, 

3 months ago, after reading many opinions from TV members about " which aircondition to buy ", I got a Daikin inverter one, and because I am 

very satisfied, I come here to ask the same opinion, but this time about a refrigerator two doors, because mine is too small

I think of one with inverter technology, because it saves energy  : which brand ?  Toshiba, Samsung, Hitachi ...?

I don't want too much sophisticated , just open, close the door as usual, enough for me 

Lazada has many, not expensive ( 10000 bahts ) ; the cheapest I saw somewhere else cost about 12-12000 bahts 

thanks for your opinion

Macron appears to be making the right moves just now but he needs a substantial number of M.P's in the coming elections, being in the somewhat unique position of starting with none.  

 

Time will tell if the French people will accept his total enthusiasm for the EU and, more importantly, his proposed liberation of employment laws designed to help corporations to hire and fire.  The French people have a history of rioting in the streets for much less than that.   However, they did vote for him, so we shall have to wait and see.

When you see the professional experience of most of the different ministers ( even the work minister is appreciated by CFDT, first Union in France ) , we can hope good results , this time they don't come from politic world , but from the civil world , it means they know what they speak about

During the last 30 years, not a single French start-up company managed to get into the CAC 40, just compare this to the US, Singapore etc.., hey people !!, these euro policies does not work, there were an experiment in Portugal where the local government gave zero tax incentive to corporations and could not create a single job, the reason given ,Portugal could never ever compete with Germany as long as they have the same currency, those countries(Greece, etc..) needs massive devaluation in order to attract investments again. Argentina recovered successfully from the financial crash but not Greece guess why ? because it does not have its own currency.

 

France needs a genius politician who mix and match between liberal and protectionist policies according to the situation just like Switzerland does, otherwise how do u explain the low unemployment rate, more submission to Brussels wont solve any problems, the EU is doomed to failure Italy, Greece and Portugal are time-bomb that will explode sooner or later. imagine if Thailand had Japanese yen as its currency ?? think of the horrible consequences of that ?

555: I just wonder : what means your avatar ? EUCCP : You are Russian, friend of Putin? ; I understand your bitterness  

of course we don't know what will happen now in June for the legislatives but what is important just now is that Le Pen (maybe you don't know because maybe you don't understand French , but as everybody says, she is stupid ) and FN have lost

I just hope that FN and equivalent in Europe will disapear for ever

True, 2 years ago, I was with 3BB adsl and I had an upgrade from them for the same price ( I learned it when reading this forum, I checked the speed and it was true ) 

No change under the "type of service ", may be it's very new, it's the first time for a long time that I do a test; if so, normally they will low the price because the new promotion is 700 bahts and I pay 750 bahts
