I’ve seen Thai plates in Hanoi many times , though could be diplomats or something since all of them were 7 series or Mercedes etc.

but truthfully , who in their right mind wants to drive in that country. No thank you, and my girlfriend is from there!

I have back to back METVs as well, albeit I'm not spending a ton of time in thailand at a time anymore (5 days max per trip, every 2-3 weeks)

A couple times immigration at suwannnaphum has asked how long i'd be spending , and the occasional flip back and forth between metv1 and metv2 ... (metv2 was issued about 3 weeks after metv1 expired)

if it ever becomes an issue i'll probably just buy thai elite, just a bit of a hassle as im under 20.

You can only get a multiple entry tourist visa (METV) in your home country or country of legal residence. Two entry tourist visas no longer exist since the METV became available. You can only get single entry tourist visa now.

Depending on the consulate/embassy they might issue it even though you're not in your home country.. i.e I got an METV in my British passport at the Toronto , Canada consulate.

Surely for such purposes locally sourced tobacco leaf is available?
 

I like the backwoods flavours that's why

Yep, you could buy it from Lazada if they had it in stock, but it's been out of stock for a while, as your link shows.  In fact, I took a printed screenshot of that very same Lazada ad with me to NBTC and Customs at Suvarnabhumi to show them that, not only was that exact Hubsan model already available in Thailand, but that it was apparently selling well and is sold out.

 

Interesting that Siam Paragon has it.  After getting my drone package released to TNT shipping company to continue its journey to my house, I decided to visit some malls/shops in Bangkok convenient to the BTS before returning to L.A. (Roi Et) since I had some extra time.  I went to Pantip, MBK, Platinum, and a few more, but only saw low-quality overpriced models, except there were a few shops that had the top of the line DJI brand, but only the slightly older Phantom 3 and 4 models.  And those were at double the typical (import) online prices.  None of the shops had the fantastic new DJI Mavic Pro that is a technological marvel.  Of course, there's a huge waiting line for that one worldwide.

 

Speaking of pricing, just like with many imported electronics goods sold here in Thailand, drone prices are outrageous.  And it isn't because of hefty import duties.  I've been paying 18%-20%  max on some items, but some items arrive with zero VAT/import duties.  I was pleasantly surprised when my Hubsan package arrived with zero tax due.  Go figure.

If you can find one , get the mavic... by far the best DJI drone thus far.

Fits inside a backpack and sport mode is so fast ! (70kmh)

a store inside emquartier glass quartier 3rd level sells DJI drones, only saw phantom 4 though if i recall correctly

Anyone know where I can buy a few packs of backwoods cigars in or near BKK?

Where did you order from? What brand and specs?

Amazon , Actiontec, Gigabit MoCA

Having an issue with true HD channels right now though through the MoCA, I believe issue with splitter just haven't bothered to look into it really.

I was trying to find some a week ago, ended up ordering from US.. couldn't find any decent ones, only 10/100.

Uber !

Sometimes cheaper as well.

Looks like the guy at below weblink got a router with 1000Mb/gigabit ports....otherwise he wouldm't be pulling over 300/70Mb speeds on this True 300/70 plan.

That's almost unbelievable in only having 100Mb ports for a 300Mb plan.  You sure?  

 

What is the complete model number of the router they gave  you?

All my equipment plugged in auto negos to 100M , unless theres some sort of negotiation issue between switches/ap's and this router its 100meg.

I'll find out.

Not quite easy to find.

 

This shop advertises a "Planet VC 202" Ethernet over Coaxial Extender (media converter):

The shop is in a (electronics) mall:

It's in "IT City" in the Bang Wa district on Phetkasem rd.

You could try to phone them and try to ask them in English.

 

Tell me about it.

Thanks I'll take a look.

Why not WiFi ?
The trouble I can see with the coax is it runs back to a central splitter that may not be in your condo. Not guaranteed there is a path room to room.

Walls too thick, too much rf interference.

I've tried wireless uplink and powerline, coax is the best and it all runs back to the back of my unit beside the router.

I ordered one set of these adapters and its working great thus far (just received it today), I just need another set or two... unfortunately the place I ordered from only had one set of the units available.

Ethernet over coax is quite efficient when you don't have cat/cat6 cabling but have coax, both tv and ethernet go over it.

Signed up for True FTTX 300 / 70 last week , however the router they provided only has 100meg ports 

I am able to max out 100/80 though for domestic speed tests, still doing international tests

I initially tried to get AIS but they're not available in my building, true was the easiest. 

  (over wifi)

hey everyone

first post here 

I'm in need of a ethernet over coax device in bangkok but most places have no idea what this is

need something like

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013J7O3X0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EQ4BQG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My apartment has coax going to each room but no cat5/cat6, tried powerline... complete s***

Any suggestions would be much appreciated
