It was set to unread first.

In October last year the metrological department issued a statement that the winter would start early November, would be much harsher than known in previous years, and would last no less than 4 months.

It has been many years that I experienced such a soft winter.

So much for their credibility.

Since about a week I don't receive any notifications anymore in my Gmail account.

With notification I mean automated emails that there is a new message in my account, or confirmation that they received my email.

This concerns PayPal and several other companies, though I still receive other emails, even promotional emails, from said companies.

The messages are also not in my spam folder, and as far as I'm aware I didn't change any settings.

Any advice on where to look?

Unfortunately I cannot go into details as to how this is done after arriving in country, though it involves a transfer to another person and a border trip to Laos/cambodia. It is easily done and anyone with a will to do so and a Thai friend that they trust not to steal their bike after a transfer of ownership can do it. So in actual fact I will not legally own the bike anymore, though it will remain in my possession.

Good luck with that one.

Except the foreign currency reserves are expressed in USD but are actually composed of, wait for it, foreign currencies!

But wait for it a bit more.

Since the USD has decreased in value against about every currency in the past month, the foreign reserves when expressed in USD should be higher, even when nothing changed.

And as an icing on the cake, as we are in tourist high season, more foreigner will arrive in January than in other months.

And guess what, they bring foreign currency with them.

The actual numbers are here:

Your chart over dramatises the ranges which are historically normal (which is why naam posted a much longer period of time), it also doesn't consider the impact of exchange rate fluctuations which is a key component in valuing the foreign currency reserves.

But since the Baht is higher than end of last year against all major currencies, and we are in the traditional tourist high season now, I would think the foreign currency reserves should rise instead of decline in January

In the past year, prices have started coming down a lot. Massive supply and not many buyers.

 

have cash and offer letter, offer 30% of ask, wait a month call back offer a little more. You'll get some. 

Why not start at 10% of asking price?

well the quick search I did said the price in 2014 for that tv was 45,000 baht so yes I think you got a bargain.

 

Can't be the same tv as I bought 29/03/2012, just found the receipt.

Never seen a tv model be available more than 1 year

Thanks to all.

Sorry misread your post

if its got a lan socket then its a "smart tv", 4 years old unless they where very high end expensive then probably not "smart" and probably no digital tuner either.

My 50" LG 3D smart tv's were bought in 2011 for 25.000 Baht.

May be he can tell the international community that elections will be further delayed because his horoscopic future isn't looking right.

I'm sure they will understand as usual.

wow.  seems like a lot of land.  Did this guy take or allegedly take his payments in land deeds instead of cash?  Did he buy these land deeds with cash?  Would love to see his tax forms and how he made his money.  Interesting business model if the loan shark takes his payments in land or title deeds.  The deed has a lot of weight legally unless collusion or duress is proved, and it is unlikely the debtors will have the time or resources to contest anything

The title deeds are taken as collateral for the loans

Perhaps you should visit Ambassador City. They are all there. Weird place. :)

Reminds me of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/

I think Ambasador has 7000 rooms, so if they are all there, that still doesn't amount for much

Outside of Sky's own mobile apps, or those provided on Virgin Media, Talk Talk, BT and UPC, I'm not aware of any media partner being authorized to rebroadcast live SKY content via the Internet.

That was my point.

All the IPTV providers, in and outside Thailand, that offer the Sky streams are illegal.

And that is about everyone except the ones you mentioned in your previous post.

So thank you, you have just confirmed that IlikeHD is offering illegal broadcasts.

Hmm, so 3BB Cloud IPTV, AIS Playbox, DTAC Play, TrueVisions Anywhere, TOT IPTV ...the whole lot use stolen content?

 

Not ALL iptv providers broadcast purloined content.   But nice claim you got going on there. Good luck with your credibility issue. 

Do any of those providers you name in your post offer Sky Sports?

its not easy to steal as channels are crypted, it works like this

 

You set up linux server with iptv server + panel then buy channels from people who got sat at homes and they set up thier own little servers, so main server pays 2$ per channel and restreams them.

 

 

You should refrain from posting your " knowledge" if you really think that is how it works

i know cheaper one and more channs

Good for you, but I think 10 Euro a month for 1500 WORKING HD channels is pretty good.

they obviousy steal their channels from the source and sell them to the public….theyre understandably cautious.

 

i tried their service in a pattaya  hotel room and found it sketchy….lots of buffering etc.

 

it might work better on a stable wired internet connection.

 

Far less pricier options available. 

every IPTV  provider steals there streams, there isn't a single IPTV provider that for example can stream Sky channels legally in Thailand, because Sky isn't licensed to broadcast in Thailand

Such as?

Send me a PM and for 120 Euro a year you get 1500 Channels from which +100 from UK and similar amount from almost every other Europen country.

I am watching Nat Geo now, they have not been dropped yet.

Maybe that's because

True Visions plans to drop

and

True Visions is seeking for approval by the broadcasting panel which will take this matter into consideration next Monday.

How much does it really cost per month/per 6 months/etc.   From looking at their website they show various packages, like Bt6150 for 3 monts which works out to Bt2,050/month and Bt8400 for 6 months which works out to Bt1400/month.   Hopefully they have monthly packages (probably at a higher price) and I just didn't see them listed on their website.

 

UK Basic + Premium Package (3 months)

UK Basic + Premium Package (6 months)

http://ilikehdtv.tv/shop/product_info.php?products_id=112.

 

 

Edit:  Never mind...the more I looked the more package prices I found like the Bt200/month plan mentioned by Thian....but the channels selection is very minimal on this plan.   Seems they have computer accounts and Android boxes accounts with different prices.  Need to spend more time on reviewing their various plans, what the differenent is between a computer account and Android box account, etc.   But on quick review it looks like  you may need to go with a basic+premium account statring at Bt750/month to get a good slection of channels.  So many packages to review.

For 200 Baht with Ilikehd you get only the channels that are also available in the free Kodi addons like Filmon and which always work in the free addons.

If you want a reliable stream, get yourself a playlist for 120 Euro a year.

It has a total of 1500 WORKING channels of which +100 UK and a similar number of German, French, Netherlands channels, the majority of them in HD.

It also has Belgian,  Spanish, Turkish, Serbian and Italian channels all including the major sports streams.
