I never read this. 

Brits are making another big mistake. 

Great. So, you're willing to wear a medical band refusing Covid treatment and carry a DNR statement -- just in case, right? I'm sure you have the courage of your convictions. 

I just hope that after I get the jab, I don't have an erection for 36 hours. 

Will the new lockdowns stop Grab and Food Panda deliveries? I've learned to love them. 

Defeat from the jaws of victory. One less thing I had to worry about living in LOS. Hope they squash it quick. <deleted>. 

Excellent. Hopefully this kick starts their incipient green-cheese industry. 

There needs to be a Pattaya in this world. It's Mecca to some. 

My 3BB is fine. Consistent 50mbps up and down to USA. 

They forgot usage for "interstellar travel." I will alert the authorities.  

Photoshop is your friend.  ????

I will probably go in to negotiate. I can't risk anything criminal. Maybe I can offer a used router of the same type that I get on Lazada or Facebook Marketplace and save cash.

A lot of dramatic comments,get a Thai girl to phone in and tell them the farang has left nearly a year ago and will never be back.

Case closed.

Creative. I like it.

So they came to install and I had more than 30 Mbps to UK. The next weekend I had about 2 Mbps to anywhere international.

 

Check this out. From Dallas, USA, to Thailand. Wow. And about 1000 baht a month. It's legit. Upload is just as good. Not cached. And stable! 3BB. I was getting under 5mbps on TOT. I was ignored.

No. it would be a civil matter not a criminal one.

Cool. God forbid TOT leads me to barricade in my rental.  ????

I think you were a bit lax, best thing to do like others said is go to the office see what the charges are for. Ignoring wont work.

I was probably angry. The new service (3BB) is perfect and half the price.

Don't know it never happened to me. Suggest you go to see them and discuss and see if you can negotiate.

 

Do you have a Thai friend who can assist you with translation?

For the letter or the contract or both? I'm looking for contract, but might be easiest to go into the office.

The 7 grand is probably the price of the router you tossed.

If so go and pay it and get it put to bed.

Oh. That much? I'll find out. If so, yeah, that's on me. 

It gets complicated. They signed me up for a new contract with a higher cost. I never signed it. They asked and I refused. I felt it was a bait and switch. The technician was supposed to be "repairing" my existing service, and instead they were extorting a more expensive one. 

Nevertheless, they switched my service anyway. The technician just went ahead without a signature. The new service sucked from day 1. I'll go through my paperwork and visit local office. How about I offer cost of router only? If they agree, what do I need from them as proof of resolution? 

Can they arrest me if I were to ignore them? I'm thinking of the Jet Ski guys. ????   I won't ignore them, but I like to know what I'm dealing with and level of urgency. 

I tossed the router. That was unwise, yeah. I'll go in and talk with the ladies. I literally don't know if they have the power to send a police captain and a squad of pickup trucks. It seems unlikely, right?

Hi. Would like some practical advice for staying out of trouble, please. So, I cancelled TOT fiber-to-home perhaps a year ago, by phone. The service was too slow. I complained many times, in person, and ultimately got a different service (3BB) and stopped paying the TOT bill. This was after having an account in good standing for many years. The service had deteriorated and the price went up. 

After 6-8 months, I started getting demands for payment of 7000 baht for services rendered. The thing is, they cut you off after one month, so a 7000 baht bill isn't justified. I had cancelled by phone. And, there would be no service after one month of non payment. I called their office to make my intentions clear. I think it fell on deaf ears. 

Today, after a year of switching away from TOT, I got a certified letter in my PO Box at the local post office from TOT. I told the post office to return it undelivered. They did. Am I courting disaster, such as Thai police showing up and locking me in a dungeon? I don't want to pay what I don't owe, but it's a higher priority to stay out of Thai jail. Your suggestion? I'm not dripping with money, and a 7000 baht bill is significant for me. Do I go into local TOT office and negotiate for half or something like that? 

Thanks! 

Hi. My hip impingement is getting to the point that walking is difficult and painful. Does anyone have experience, pro or con, with stem-cell treatment or PRP treatment for hip issues in Thailand? I'm in Phuket, but I suppose I could travel if I felt it was the best option. And suggestions, costs, or advice is appreciated. I don't want to be scammed and I think there's a lot of that out there. 

I'm trying to avoid a total hip replacement for obvious reasons. Thank you.

Do I understand correctly that this has nothing to do with so-called retirement visa extensions?
