I buy chicken breast from local BigC for less than THB50 kg. Compared to my home town of Perth, WA, where they were AUD8.99 per kg (over THB200), I find it extreemly good value. What I am surprised at is anything with bone or fat is 3 times more expensive (have you seen the price of chicken feet...)

             my livenet went missing for a day or two 

I downloaded and installed version 4.8.3

delete the old version and install 4.8.3 

should be ok then

Thanks Soapy, the first intelligent reply to address the problem. I have just done the same, (upgraded to 4.8.3) and all working on both devices. 

I've been using Live NetTV on my Android box and Android phone for the last 6 months. In the last coulpe of days, the Android box deleted the app automatically, and again after installing the latest apk from their site. Today I got a message on my phone from Google Play Protect saying "This app is fake. It tries to take over your device or steal your data"

<deleted>, anyone else having this problem?

If visiting a different province when your 90 day is due and you cannot do on-line can you do it at the local office in the area you're visiting? 

( know you can do -15 to + 7 days from due date but this is not within my travel plans) 

No traffic on this thread for 8 years but I'll give it a shot.

My friend and I are travelling up from Chaiyaphum to Udon Thani on the 25th April for a 5 night stay and looking to play some golf there. Royal Creek, Udon Thani, and Victory Park, Nong Khai are our choices.

Are there any locals that play either course who maybe we could join for a social game? also any thoughts on these courses (condition and best days to play, etc)

Thanks in advance for any constructive replies...

Played 4 ball Singha Park, Khon Kaen, Monday. THB1300 all-in, pp. Course in good condition. Individual carts wth screen between caddy and player. Changeing rooms and restaurant open. Staff wearing masks and requested for customers when booking in. Very quiet though, only saw one other group (5-ball)

p.s. travelled from Chaiyaphum, no restrictions

He was going too fast for the load he was carrying, hence the lack of ability to brake in time. 

 

He was already pulled out and stationary. 

The only time the truck pulling out was stationary was when it was on its side

Yip, I think the vast majority of people living in Thailand have been affected by this, Thais and foreigners. And BECAUSE of that, everybody should be allowed to have a drink, to celebrate that it is all over!

 

Yes you can celebrate that its all over, after 6pm Sunday????

i used to watch nothing but my Slingbox, but after Foxtel Go and the other Free To Air channels made their apps, I stream directly from Foxtel and from the channel apps, but the Slingbox is a great backup and almost never fails.    

I also used to be able to use Foxtel Go (I have a Foxtel subscription in Australia) via IPVanish, but a few months ago it stopped working, so I cancelled the VPN. 

What VPN are you still able to get Foxtel Go?

I don't have a 'contact'. And it doesn't matter what country you are in. I have a vanilla set top Android box I bought from a mall, and pay a UK company 70 quid a year for every Sky channel, every UK channel with catchup TV, every Premiership and Championship match of the season, many hundreds of other channels, Eurosport channels, Bein sport channels, US sports and news channels, over a thousand films including very latest and good copies, all major PPV sport broadcasts, box sets, etc. Was a doddle to set up (I'm very slightly techie but not much). 

 

PS - whoever said MOBDRO is good needs their head tested. It's OK for free I suppose but pretty dire overall. 

I am also looking for IPTV service, subscription no problem. I tried a 24hr trial with IPTV Solo,  Thousands of channels from around the world but impossible to watch as continuously buffering, so if you could send me info on a reliable service I would be grateful. 

Also minimum requirements of a TV box (ram/rom/4k etc) 

TIA

I've only ever used 1 club & 2 balls.  Cleaned before and after play.  Seems to work for me ????

My friend from Pattaya travelled to Chaiyaphum last Saturday with Nokchai Air bus service to spend a week with me. Had to fill out a questionare giving contact details, passport number, where he was staying and for how long. Lady at bus station contacted my GF to confirm. Other than that no problem. ????

Chaiyaphum - Both Global House and Homepro have been closed since the lock down, and as of yesterday still are.

You can do on-line order for delivery or at their collection points (front of carpark for Global, Rear of building for Homepro). Have used both this week as doing house reno.

Who said anything about going faster? Think before you comment.

Then what's the, quote "a bit more grunt" for then,  more noise? You could do that with any car,  just modify the exhaust ????

I too intend to use Peter Dennis's method (thanks Peter for your comprehensive Road Map) 

My O-A visa (retirement) issued by Canberra Embassy in Oct 2018, and with current permission to stay till 13 July 2020. So will exit just before (without Re-entry Permit) and re-enter VE. 

My question is should I use my Australian Passport that expires July 2023, that I  am currently using, for the VE to O visa, or could I use my UK passport that expires July 2027? (note my biometrics have been collected using my Aussie passport) 

So where do you get the Border Pass? and if you say at the border, why were we not given that option?

In Feb 2017 I went with an Aussie friend and 2 Thai ladies to Nong Khai. While there we thought about going to Laos for a day trip. We asked at the immigration office adjacent to the Friendship Bridge if we could all go. No problem for us Farangs as we had our passports, but the Thai ladies could not as they only had their ID cards, no passport.

Now, have the requirements changed? or were we given the wrong information by the immigration officer?

My friend tried to get his 2nd extension of stay, based on OA retirement, yesterday at Chaiyaphum IO and was told needed insurance.. Peter,  could you pm me you notes on changing to O type so I can forward to him.  Thanks

I don’t know if I have missed something in all this banter about proving INCOME. Doesn’t Thai Immigration still accept embassy letters as proof of INCOME? That letter just states one's INCOME, not the amount brought into Thailand each month, which is up to the individual.

Now that SOME embassies have stopped issuing these letters another method of proving INCOME is necessary, but that shouldn’t  change what the individual wishes to do with that INCOME.  

I don’t see why a person from one country can just show certified income letter and one from another country has to bring in THB 65,000 every month whether needed or not.

Scotyw1, can you reply to this thread with what you ended up doing and the outcome ?
