Youtube is your friend, spend a little time and research what is available,

What I meant was in the days of paid for Flawless members of TV were discussing the actual names of the best paid service providers of the day. Now no one does and replies are much like yours saying to find your own. I have a paid  one already, its been working fine for the past 6 years but I am disappointed for this forum in this respect as its of no helpful practical use with respect to IPTV monthly plans (paid) as in title of this thread started by the op.

You can watch Sky Sports, Sky Movies, ITV, Channel 4 etc with an Android app that is free. 

Free and full of ads. This is no match for a paid ad free IPTV service, full EPG, VOD, Box Office live events etc and possibly catchup services. A few years ago TV members openly discussed and compared the excellent (at the time) Flawless IPTV, since then after they went tits-up no one is mentioning a worthy contender since. I wonder why? They are out there. There are currently loads of these on Aliexpress for example.

I'm retired here. I need to travel to Hong Kong in the next 30 days. If I manage to get a flight will I have to undergo the 14 day quarantine on return having already been locked down for 3 months?

They are not letting retirees in at moment so it will be a one way trip out if you go.

You lost me there. The number of bitcoin users is unlimited, but the amount of bitcoin will be finite at 21 million.

it's difficult to deny that the 'upward movement in market' which drives up the price, relies on a continually increasing demand for the coin.

What about the way the coin is designed to have a finite number of coins that can ever be mined and the fact that the mining of them becomes more and more difficult as the process is halved, surely that has some influence on forward upward prices?

Well, just to be clear that I am not trying to get advice on TV how to get contraband shipped in: these are US meds that I have a prescription for that are not (yet) approved by Thai FDA.

So they are illegal end of. I am trying to get hold of a US drug that isn't available in Thailand, only US. My options are to go to the US to get it or do without.

Did I miss the news that face masks were no longer compulsory on the BTS? I haven't traveled on it since February.

Can you give any reason for doing a 90 day report, that you do NOT NEED to do???

Plse!!!

I did my online 90 day report (that I do not need to do) because I can and I got the approved inside 3 hours. I also get to keep to my own 90 day reporting schedule that I am familiar with inclusive all the pesky window reporting times around the 90 day due date that the online system only works within. I also dont have to worry about any amnesty rulings or read the news about it every day in case something is changed.

Thailand didn't get to 159th in the world table of covid deaths per head of population without some fear mongering and control. Where is your country in the order of things?

what was the point of excluding the rest of my post - just so you could say pretty much the same thing 

 Because I wasn't saying the same as you. I am not mentioning the subject of the dead guys character like you which is irrelevant, rather the character of four killer cops.

I assumed since the massive public outrage he was an innocent victim and a lovely family man - evidently not

I think you'd find its got nothing to do with the dead guys background, the massive outrage was four cops killed a guy on the street whilst bystanders asked them to stop and they would not. Not a good advert for the police or authority in that country.

Yes, still running a HDD, but with Core i7, so plenty of processing power. 

Sorry but your arguments for wanting to avoid Win10 updates and make it look like Win7 carry little weight when you still think an HDD is OK in this day and age.

Not trying to be smart, it's common sense. Nicotine clouds a smokers judgement and they are always in denial. Sad really.

smoking is nothing compared to Thailands air pollution and its associated severe heath implications

I'm guessing you are a smoker?

As the op said this is related to corona-virus ("Health authorities have said that Covid-19 can spread far and wide on the smoke"). You don't get corona-virus from car exhausts. It comes out your lungs that a passerby can smell if you blow smoke in the air.

Private quarantine facilities at own cost offered to returning foreigners

By THE NATION

 

 

Foreigners returning to Thailand from abroad can choose special services at their own expense during their 14 days of quarantine on arrival.

I was wondering if the Nation was just taking the <deleted> with their article?

I have kids in Thailand that need schooling and I am going to have to waste all their school fees slumming it in one of these opulent gazebos surrounded by water lilies doing the 14 days  quarantine having coming back from some far flung part of the world earning a pittance to pay for said school fees.

Couldn't they just strap a ankle bracelet on us instead as an option as we pass immigration? It seems to function well for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

Lazada wallet is not available for non Thais.

OK, I haven't checked latest. Its easy enough to set up and be independent using a reliable Thai partners ID to establish a wallet nevertheless and is how I use wallet. Better than not having a wallet imho, but ymmv.

I just used online bank payment and also Lazada wallet (easiest).

Please tell me how I would KNOW that I need it? A vaccine is a prevention and not a cure.

Afaik you don't know if you will need it and chances are higher if you had chickenpox as a child that you will after 60 years of age. I also understand even if you have had shingles already you can still receive shingles vaccine to help prevent future occurrences of the disease. I didn't know I was going to get shingles sores on my skin. I even showed them to a doctor and he didn't tell me how to cure them with acyclovir until the 3rd visit.

I am thinking on getting this 50% effective vaccine if that's all that's out there in Thailand and live with the remaining inconveniences.

** My question is I see there is only a live Shingles vaccine available in Thailand called Zostavax that is only 50% effective? So has anyone (who needs it) got this done and think its worth it or is it better to just carry on using acyclovir 800mg pills as needed like a doctor told me and put up with the inconvenience from time to time? **

I am thinking I will go for a vaccine anyway, as what have I got to lose? Sometimes the small shingles sore appears on the edge of my eye lid by the eye lashes, feeling like I have dirt in the eye for a day or two until the acyclovir kicks in, and that is a worry as its close to my eyes. Sometimes there is a small sore on my chin and that seems less worrisome. Happens about 3 times a year.

I had chickenpox as a child when there were no vaccines for that, and now have the pleasure in old age of seeing shingles as a result.  When I went to one of the big hospitals on Sukhumvit with my first episode it took them three visits to declare the sore on my face to be shingles just by the look of it. They did not do any tests, if any are possible? They didn't seem to know much about it, is it a western affliction? They recommended acyclovir 800mg pills whenever the sore reoccurs and not to bother with a vaccine. The doctors fees for three visits cost more than the pills.

I read also there is a new non live vaccine called Shingrix which is 90% effective and lasts 10 years but for some reason it won't be in Thailand for years to come whereas its already in the west being used now. How can this be?
