OP, you can buy usb docking stations that do cloning, literally put both drives in the dock and press a button, no software or computer required. Later you can use the dock to make the old drive a usb drive. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/clone-docking-station-25-35-dual-bays-sata-to-usb-30-

Why do poor Thai people have cctv (in their bedroom)
Peterw42 replied to Peterw42's topic in General Topics
I dont go looking for it, its seems to be every 2nd story on the TV news. -
A recent observation, I always see lots of clips on TV, social media etc. usually something like people sleeping in their bed, a snake, a centipede, a ghost etc. The things I dont get, these people are obviously not well off, sleeping the whole family on the floor, in a dumpy room etc. WHY do they have cctv (when the kids probably dont have shoes), and why do they have it in their bedroom, recording themselves sleeping.

Whataboutism ? Although the headlines would have you believe otherwise, The McDonalds case wasn't actually a frivolous lawsuit, at the time McDonalds actually had a documented policy of serving their takeaway coffee at close to boiling point (so it traveled better and would still be hot when you got it home). spilling normal hot coffee (60 degress Celsius) would be a frivolous lawsuit, The McDonalds case was spilling coffee where the coffee was purposely sold at 100 degrees Celsius, knowing it would burn in the event of an accident, and not warning accordingly.

The same as any other country in the world, all Thai vehicles have a compulsory 3rd party person insurance, its called por lor bor insurance and its part of the annual tax/registration. Its not a huge coverage, but it is cover, 30k baht per accident. Enough to cover a trip to emergency room, a couple of night in hospital, set a broken bone etc. People who post, with great authority, that there isnt any coverage, should stop posting misinformation. Otherwise. a thai taxi is legal licensed transport, driven by a legal driver etc. so travel insurance should cover unless there is a specific clause stating only car taxis are covered.

Where does one find a health/safety cop, is that a real thing ?

Have you looked into your average data usage ? I think you may be underestimating, I use 20GB a day some days, 10 on an average day. Stream one 1080 movie a day and thats 3-4 gig, thats half your 70 GB data gone in one week. You maybe dont notice at the moment, being on unlimited data. but I think you would burn through 70 G pretty quickly.

I would keep the VDSL, it will be cheaper, faster, (it would be 50 mbps), no reception problems. Like I said above, when you read the fine print, many of the 5G packages are capped at similar speed to your current 4G, and just cost more (full speed is stupid prices). If your 4G reception isn't great, 5G wont be any better as it would probably be on the same tower, and it has less range.
-
It comes down to the package you take up, yes there is 5G "BUT" they sell 5G packages that are speed restricted, or data restricted, or both. Read the fine print, unlimited means unlimited data, not always unlimited/full speed. Depending on your usage, you would probably be better off with a cheaper 4G package with unlimited data and a decent speed. People have the mindset that it has to be 5G, because 5G is better. its not better if the speed is comparable to existing 4G. Many of the telcos 5G packages are just a higher price (because its 5G) with 4G speeds. If you are looking at a router/hotspot, and multiple devices will be using the same internet, anything less than 20mbps soon becomes unworkable.

Tm 30 Questions
Peterw42 replied to SuperSilverHaze's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
To file online, you first need to register for the online system either via the website https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ or via the section 38 app. The process will ask for specific documents. If filing at immigration office, yes you can file as the possessor, which usually requires a lease document, a copy of owners ID, and a copy of the property blue book -
Telecom Giants Unite as True Corp After Merger
Peterw42 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Maths was never my strength, but if the merger results in 10 million more subscribers than AIS, how can they still be in second place ? -
Anyone Used "Lawyers For Expats"?
Peterw42 replied to gc2023's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
leasehold isn't ownership, its long term rental. Its not the "Legal way" to own a property, pure and simple its renting a property long term. To all intent and purpose, it may provide you with a level of something that resembles ownership, but one day the lease will end. You may not be interested in company ownership, but a situation where a lawyer owns the property and you rent from him sounds ultimately worse. -
Hunter Biden is a civilian, he isn't an elected member of any government or party. What he does, or has done in his private life, is largely irrelevant. He could be guilty of torturing small puppies, axe murders, and cheating on his taxes. If he is, them charge him. But otherwise he is not part of the government. The only relevant crime, if it is ever proven, would be selling favor or influence with his father. Last time I looked, trumps kids have been openly selling access to trump from day one.
-
The crime isn't having the documents, the crime (in trumps case) is lying about having them, and not returning them when requested.

Certificate of Residence Letter and Province
Peterw42 replied to drbrit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Jomtien immigration probably wont give you a resident certificate for an address outside their area. You will need to officially move to the area, TM30, 90 day reports etc. You need to (officially) move at some point if you want to use Jomtien immigration for your next extension. -
Australian Aged Pension
Peterw42 replied to VOICEOVER's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Thanks for the update. Do you intend to return to Thailand ? I presume that would mean the 2 year wait. -
Not sure, but I think a thief that has access to the rooms, and access to the safe, would also have access to the cctv system.

OP, you need to be aware, you cant just "do the rounds" of most condo buildings. The office in a condo block is there to look after the condo block, they are not there to serve the general public doing rentals. While some do do rentals on the side, and some have regular little property agencies going on, Their actual roll is to look after the block on behalf of the owners, they are actually forbidden from doing sales/rentals (or any other business') in the condo legislation. A lot of owners in condo blocks get very annoyed when they see their condo maintenance fees being used so the office can show condos and do contracts etc, all while the block is not being serviced and maintained as it should be. You will find a lot of condo blocks, you wont even get past the front gate, as you basically have no business with the condo office, and they have no business with you.
