  1. laptop is not old when it is 4 years old you can use them much longer. the oldest I have is from 1998 and still operating. was on windows now on a linux distribution. the one i am typing is now is from 2013 and has 16GB RAM and update with WD 3D NAND SSD 1TB. having brought this to your attention: 

     

    not sure if mentioned by others Thailand is hostile to electronics because of the cooling needed and the design temperature. most not unse air conditioner to control the humidity and temperature. this decrease the life span of battery pack and adapters. System cooling has to work harder and the cooling fans collect dust.

     

    some things to do

    take out the battery pack can show if the laptop still works

    still be aware that  some laptops will have a circuit that the laptop will not work when battery has been removed. even when the battery pack is dead.

     

    sometimes the empty cmos backup battery also causes problems, dispite this is wierd and not logic it can be an issue that makes the laptop not work correctly. after replacing you always have to do a cmos reset to default values. then set the cmos to the needed value also can solve problems.

     

    remove the ram bank from its slot and reinsert it. when possible swap it with another Ram bank that has the same specs.

     

    also try another charger, sometimes the charger is broke. When you measure the voltage all seems to be right but is can not handle the load needed and the charges is actually not working as expected.

    in the laptop there is a circuit that check the power levels. and when it not get the right power levels if also prevents to work or shutdown.

     

    remove the HD from the laptop and try if it will boot. (of course will give errors) just ot see if the HD is not death and prevening the system to start.

     

    the next sounds stupid but sometimes works.

    remove all connections with a wire to the laptop, like usb, lan, sound, mice and so on and also the charger.

    wait 30 minutes the plug in the charger and wait 15 minutes then press the power button.

    can be the laptops starts working

     

    most case the laptop will start to work again

    In the Netherlands now all schools have selftests for Covid for the teachers and they have to test themselves 2 times a week. Why not possible here in THailand???? 

    probably Thai are also aware of the fact that the self tests provided like the once that you refer to in the Netherlands not are accurate. Still many will slip thru, this is well known. Also in the news too that only blood tests are accurate since there are now mutations that are not even detected by the standard nose swap tests. the trest that provided you the so wanted certificated of being covid-19 free. 

    they are also looking in to the support of dogs as you know who can detect covid. 

     

    Also people who are fully vaccinated, these people  still can spread covid as recently was in the new too. 

    all makes that we still have a long way to go especially due to the fact that we not provide vaccin to all People and all the countries in the world.

    and when we are not willing to stop traveling and do all the is needed to stop the virus and quarantaine it within the next 6 months to stop the virus this wil become a long story or a never ending story.

     

     

     

  3. i is well know that h mutation are wandering around and that asymptotic people spread. this can even been people who are vaccinated with with the covid jab. Well known and well document in the medical world around the world and the literature. Problem is the politicians not want to understand this at all. The best solution is to shutdown all, isolate and make blocks and then wait minimal 40 days before opening block by block. This has been proven many times that this works. Put a ban on traveling. Put a ban tourism. Vaccinate as much as possible in a short as possible time, all people. in three to sixmonthn all is solved. when you have enough vaccine. and the block they control the outbrake and help to stop..

     

     

  4. when you are not planning to go to ASEAN AREA the changes are small that you will feel any consequences of you action. you do limit do yourselves in traveling. as well that you have to make sure that your home country or nay other country you travel to is not willing to execute the arrest if that is ordered by the Thai court. the court order itself has to be confirmed by the court of the country you live in or stay. still, possible they will get you legally deported to Thailand. Changes are real as well small. you can not predict the future.

    Maybe its time to also make sure the motorcycle parkings are a bit bigger. Because its always hard to park them while cars get far more room. Time to change that too and make some more motorcycle friendly rules.

    you want to solve the air pollution on of the steps that helps is when have to removed the motorcycles out of the traffic as you see now happening in the west. they also say that one  motor cycles pollutes more the a car does. 

     

    bicycles instead of motorbikes will add to the air quality improvements. making specials bicycle lanes and change all in favor of bicycles works as we see on many places around the world 

     

    beside that also the tires and breaking cause a lot of small particles and some say it is up o 50% of the total small particles caused by the wear of tires and breaks

  6. there are more then only this what they mentioned and they now start to use a blood test to make a prediction of who is having problems or even worse and will end up more death then living in the ICU and who is more lucky.

     

    personally i have seen many the blood test tells more then how a person looks. the most around me who passed away where seen a healthy with no medical history and alwys seem to be healthy when had medical examination and still died within a few hours after arrival on the hospital. they walked in to the hospital en in just two hours died.

  7. In most countries you can get an overview of the old passport numbers that where assigned to you. Mostly the foreingn affairs office or the multiplicity can provide you this certified overview. 

     

    With the renewal of my old passport they also printed on on the page next the ID page that this passport is the replacement of the passport with the number ... which was valid from ... until ..  and the namen of the issuer.

    Had this also printed in the passports before. have seen this also in other western passports the last few years.

    Transferwise is not licensed by the BoT for sending money out of the country.

    use tranferwise for a long time and never had problems to send money to or from my accounts abroad or other accounts. you can do it legally and comply to the rules and regulations the using the BoT too as far I a can see

     

    have a look to see it for yourself

     

  9. works fine with me, even have bankaccount numbers with them with different currency accounts , mostly is instantly as in a few seconds from my account abroad to Thailand or the other way around.

     

    pay in the fly and the fee is very low. mostly transfer from abroad to Thai account is most of the time just seconds, some times longer, they nofity you how long it takes to transfer to other bankaccount. all including the currency conversion in to thai bath

     

    was invited to use probably is that the difference so I share my link to help people out :  transferwise.com.

     

    *Link edited out*

  10. the problem is the media showing western style, the western way of living that Thailand has adopted in a short time. education and the length of education are all known for  causing the birth rate dropping. 

     

    medial healthcare makes the gene polls survive that never would have survived. 

    medical health care also make that more children reach the age of 23.

     

    so actually one couple needs to have 3 children also to compensate for the couples and singles that have not children or cannot get children.

    because children look after the care of the parents and others.

     

    therefore the best would be that children up to 21 years have full support to study, educate and learn and all older pay for this. But that is too social as we know an will not happen.

    So I am scanning the news on Google news:

    The US Government is considering it.

    "On his full first day in office, President Biden revealed his 200-page national pandemic strategy with seven goals aimed at ending the Covid-19 pandemic. Buried deep in the report, on page 181, is a directive for multiple government agencies to work together to “assess the feasibility” of linking Covid-19 vaccinations to international vaccination certificates and producing electronic versions of them. "

     

    "The United Kingdom is preparing a certification system that would allow inoculated citizens to travel abroad this summer, reported the London Times "

     

    " Last month, Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Union Commission, said that she supports creating a common EU-established vaccination certificate that can be issued by member states to their citizens"

     

    " While they wait for an EU-wide vaccination certificate to become available, some European Union member states are already or will soon be issuing their own certificates to citizens who have been vaccinated against Covid-19."

     

    "Iceland, Denmark , Sweden, Spain,Cyprus, Poland, Estonia,Greece are some of the countries that will be issuing and accepting covid passports "

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2021/02/05/these-european-countries-are-launching-vaccine-passports/?sh=6176a6b677a5

     

    "Greece agrees vaccine passport deal with Israel as ‘trial run’  "

    https://www.politico.eu/article/greece-agrees-coronavirus-vaccine-passport-deal-with-israel-as-trial-run/

     

    I am sure there are many other countries working on this proposal. As you can see the proposal is gaining speed  around the world. Thailand being a major tourist destination can't be far behind.

    Of course everyone is monitoring Covid 19 developments and I am sure  will modify their position in the next few months depending on the data. 

     

    The big problem is that the people who are Vaccinated still can be super spreaders.

     

    And the same as the flue you are only protected against the original and hope fully the mutations.

     

    As seen already with the south african mutations the Oxford vaccine not work well enough.

     

    And the Brazilian mutations is also the question.

    Both are now spreading faster 

     

    Vaccinated or not you are still having the chance to get ill from the mutations or spread them

    Good day

     

    I'm a teacher at an International school in Bkk. I have an issue and maybe someone here has advice. I lent a friend at school quite a lot of money. It's been over a year and she has paid back nothing. I tried everything.. I even suggested to pay me back $100 a month, yet she only has excuses. Nothing I could do here to get back my money legally? 

     

    Thanks in advance

     

     

    in Thailand they have special document that you can buy in good shops when you lent money to people.  this makes is possible to get your money back when people not wat tot pay. and like in the rest of the world  if they not pay back you can go to the police or court.

     

    in general in Thailand when you are foreigner you are not allowed to lent to Thai people money (if that law still is in place). so the best is consider it as a gift and have learned your lessons.

  13. Think this man totally not understand the problems that are there with vaccination and protection. just tje king of people who as long as their bank account is filled they not care about the problems.

    SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) just showed the sources of spreading are just this kind business and they super spreading highways HORECA makes possible. also the recent events of last week like the closure of Perth australis is linke to traveling as well the recent spreading of the Brazilian mutation in Europe is linked to traveling.

    can you please share the source that vaccinated people may still present a risk of transmission?

    the vaccine only works for the SARS-CoV-2 that is has been deigned for. Just like the Flu vaccine does.  Then the vaccines of each manufacturer work different and have different protection level as you could have red in the media the pas months.

     

    then we have that the vaccine works differently in for example Caucasians or Asians or Black people. and also worked differently in male and female as well there are age related differences

    and then you also have the way it works based on blood type and resus factor.

    this is also covered in the media

     

    Above this is the problem that the virus also has mutation the once know now are the British mutation, the South African mutation and the Brazilian mutation. The manufacturers think the vaccines will work for the British and the South African mutation. still they will adjust and tweak the vaccines.

    for the Brazilian they are not sure if the vaccines will work.

     

    so the have to adjust and tweak to cover this know mutation too.

     

    tweak and adjust is in this no protection guaranteed and also People who have got the vaccination are still capable off transmitting due to the level of protection when the vaccine is administered. 90% means that out of 100 people still 10 can spread the virus or get sick.

     

    we all know the virus is among us long before it is detected or begin diagnosed.

     

    the south African virus as well the British virus were already in place in november in some European countries. the Brazilian is just flown in by people who went to meet family.

     

    all will work when all have had the vaccine and still new mutation will travel with them if they have the change. we are just having super spreading high ways with tourism and party events.

     

     

     

  15. regarding the first work permit, all the extensions  as well the swapping from companies or adding companies that worked for I have had for work permits since 2008 you are screened on many diseases during the examination and on the form the doctor sings off that you have non of them as specified under the appropriate acts that do apply. When asked me this kind of screening was already in place.

     

  16. first of all around the world traveling is not recommend to stop spreading

    you have to make a separation between you and your pal. he hes to be isolated in your car. the best is to put him in the back behind a screen and he his own space.

     

    avoid any contact and stay apart minimal 1.5 meter. always have the wind blow between the two of you.

    always wear glasses to protect your eyes 

     

    clean all he has touched and been with as all the things he taken with him

    clean the car and all he touches with alcohol min 80% also the house.

     

    the bed room you provide to him is the only space he can stay for 10 tot 14 days.

    provide him his own shower, toilet and all the cleaning stuff needed for him

     

    the laundry has to be washed separated 

     

    provide him as much as possible one one plates, knives, vorks, cups, bottles and so on. all the garbage he put in plastic bags and even the bag itself collect  all and treat is a bio hazardous

     

    then after quarantine clean all and send hem for a test to confirm he is free of virus.

    after confirmation clean all again just to be sure. 

     

    virus can survive on the skin more than 10 hrs and even on copper can survive more then 6 hrs. on paper products paper up to 6 days.

     

    alcohol 70% the SARS-CoV-2 is, at this moment, death after 30 seconds

  17. nice and stereotyping. when you look in to the information available  they forget to tell that they can see in the blood samples if you will have problems with the Covid-19 infection or not. also the SARS-CoV-2 targets on specific genes more then on others. that makes also that some people have nearly not problem and other drop death in just a few hours. This had nothing to do with age or overweigh, people just where 'normal weight' healthy living and just dropped death in 2 to 4 hrs. 

     

    children up to 13 have another way the immune systems works  then people above 13. and this is the reason why they have lesser problems.

     

    on Caucasian the vaccine works better study suggest the on Asian. and on Asian works better the on African kind of people. this is seen with other vaccines and medicine too that they work better for Asian or Caucasian and the other way around

    this is why they have certain brands of the new developed SARS-CoV-2 vaccines only administered to certain risk groups and age ranges.

    I plan to travel to Koh Tao the 23rd, returning to Bangkok the 8th of January.  Some people are telling me not to go because I would not be able to return to Bangkok because Bangkok could be in lockdown.  Any thoughts on that?

    just not go because one can become the  asymptomic superspreader and then you spread all around. 14 days not go to BKK twhat is the problem?
