  1. Short answer is No. A good quality sound bar adjusts the phasing to the speakers to cancel or reinforce to signal to give the impression of direction around a room. You will still require a physical speaker placed near you so not to upset others. I agree with what Carlyai says.
  2. In short No, It's not the Salvation Army. I stayed in a Temple for five days and from my experience it's hard. You need to speak Thai or have a Thai with you You have to adapt to temple life; Wear appropriate clothing (white or soft colours without logos), get up at 3am for prayers, after prayers you clean the temple, 7am breakfast, 8-12 meditation, 12 dinner, 1pm-4 meditation, 4 prayers, 7pm clean temple, then bed, sleeping on a rug on the floor. My girlfriend took me and although we slept in the same room, there is no touching, not even when passing a plate to her. I donated because I could as I am not destitute. As everyone was wearing the same I could not identidy if anyone was rich or poor. Having said all this, I'd jump at the opportunity to do this again. 5 days No Alcohol, no eating after midday, early nights and early starts, came out feeling cleansed inside and out.
  3. To configure your router as a VPN, you'll need a router at the host end configured to pair with your router. And the upstream speed needs to be as fast as your dowstream speed. Use a service. .
  4. Completed my eVisa yesterday (3rd Oct). On Laptop using Google Chrome, a bit flakey and delays but only required three retries. Pending now.
  5. Terrible lazy reporting. 1 The programme was from a backpacker perspective. 2 The reporter was not on Strictly but Love Island.
  6. Started 30 Baht heathcare Enabled education in the provinces Stopped corruption of all the HiSo's Stopped and out of control drug epidemic
  7. You don't get it. It's the principle he's talking about.
  8. Not for me. 50/50 UK and Thailand. I have a house in the UK, never talk to neighbours, go to the pub twice a week (cannot afford £6/pint every day). Benefits: beautiful countryside and clean air. In Thailand, I have an apartment with pool, I pay one years rent. Every day I sit with my bar girl neighbours, chatting and them feeding me up, yes, feeding. Downstairs is a bar with old ex pats, a few ex bar owners who've lived in Pattaya over 30 years. Sometimes go to Ban Amphur beach where I rig a hammock and enjoy the weather, often go to Soi Buakhao for a Chang Yai.. Best of both worlds.
  9. The limit has been removed. But. That doesn't mean its unlimited, it means the immigration now officers have even more powers.
  10. In another life (30 yeas ago), I lived in China and experienced this there. It was explained that we eat dairy products, primarily milk and smell.
  11. Not good news for agencies or will foreigners be excluded? Will the driving license card be abolished?
  12. Thai statistics on fatal accidents only count deaths on the road. Subsequent fatalities in hospital are not included. Drink driving, crash helmets, jumping red lights are not policed. Poilce only use check points which everyone avoids.
