  1. Last time I drove from Bkk to Udon Thani I  drove through a village/small town (after Lopburi if memory serves me correct) and saw a lot of stone mortars, statues etc. Does anyone know the location so I can put it into google maps and stop to buy a stone pestle and mortar? Also any price guide for medium if possible.

    This is not the somtam making pestle type.

     

    Thank you.

    Travelling around this wonderful country, love fine dining, let us all know your favourite places to dine. 

    As it is "fine dining" you're looking for, the Thailand Michelin awards were presented yesterday I believe, also the Bib Gourmand.

     

    Living in the outskirts of BKK, we have a couple of local restaurants we tend to eat very often. Not fine dining by any stretch of the imagination, but just great, fresh tasting food IMHO in a setting we like.

    Many of the free vpn's are not working any more, though I don't say there are none left that still work.

     

    There are paid vpn's that have dedicated BBC Iplayer, Netflix and Hulu servers

    Thank you for that info. Could you please recommend one for BBC iplayer or UK tv in general?

    You don't need an Android box,you can do everything on a Windows PC,

    I have an Aroid box but just use it for watching channels on Mobdro,

    most of streaming is done on Win 10 PC,as i find it easier to use,all

    sites i watch from work, on android ,KODI many don't.

     

    When streaming via HDMI cable to tv, find it best to use RJ45 cable

    from router to PC,WiFi is not good enough in my opinion.

    just Google streaming tv, have an add blocker enabled,don't use any

    sites where you have to register.

    Hello Worgeordie,

     

    I recall you posted that you are using Browsec and can try for free. (sorry I cannot find that post again) I tried the free trial and top right corner of my laptop screen is showing icon Browsec UK but when I try BBC iplayer it says i need to be in the UK.

    The laptop is pretty old like me, so do you know what could be going wrong?

     

    Thank you.

    Deputy provincial chief Pol Colonel Khiri Kiatisarn visited Thanisorn's house said the hirer would be called in for questioning. 

     

    He urged people to contact the victims to buy the meals to reduce the victims' losses.

    Urged people to buy old pre-made meals?.. to help the victim.

  6. Hello,

     

    My UK bank is requesting that both my wife's and I complete a "confirmation of identity" as I am updating my records,

    I have a list of who can do this but it seems to be UK/EU specific.

     

    Has anyone done this recently from Thailand?, does it mean a trip to the British Embassy for both my wife and I? (Will the British Embassy confirm for my Thai wife)

     

    Thanks and Regards.
