  1. It will be interesting to see if Grab decides, with Foodpanda gone, that the expat/tourist market is large enough to make an investment in English speaking employees to serve that niche market with something other than unedited machine translations.
  2. The last day for Foodpanda is 23 May. I use either Foodpanda or Grab every day. Sucks that the most English/foreigner friendly one is closing. I hope Grab can up their game. Foodpanda was problematic when an error happened and they got rid of human help a while ago, but it usually worked just fine.
  3. They work. Usually for a good while, maybe not lifetime though. Download and then log in as instructed with the activation code. I think I paid 200 baht or so on Lazada. I guess it was an organizational account. Look for one with good ratings.
  4. Things may have changed since Trump cut the budgets but I applied about 8 months ago through Manila and it was all done online through the social security portal. It did take a couple of months before approval through Manila and then another couple of months for a telephone call appointment. However it all went smoothly. I never had to provide any paperwork or ID verification. When it was finally approved I received all the back months from the date that I asked for it to be started. During the phone interview they asked me for my bank account information and I chose to have it deposited into my us account.
  5. My bad. Thank you for straightening me out Liverpool Lou.
  6. Note that they imply they are referring to the BTS system with a picture but no mention of BTS in the article.
  7. I was happy with my TCL and would have bought another if this one can't be fixed. However, I am discovering it is seemingly impossible to schedule a service call with TCL and the Google review for TCL service are amazingly bad. tcl electronics (thailand) co.,ltd reviews https://g.co/kgs/kApchnQ I wonder what their story is with the terrible after sales service. All they can say to me when I call is that somone will call me back, but no one does.
  8. Bah. Humbug! It sits mockingly 60% up the page on the right, day in day out, on my PC.
  9. Will the 199 baht get rid of that annoying fixed arrow on the right side of the screen?
  10. Hope your recovery has continued and you are enjoying that quality LG TV. I am definitely a budget TV guy, for better or worse.
  11. My 8 year old TCL has a far better picture then my 2 year old Samsung (not a QLED though) which required a new screen just out of warranty. TCL are highly rated for picture quality, anyway.
  12. My 8 year old TCL TV has a horizontal line across the top of the screen and none of the online suggested fixes has helped it. Unfortunately, the TCL service center is extremely low rated on Google and I think I may be better off using an independent service center. I will try calling TCL again though next week. I was stuck on hold yesterday until I gave up. Any recommendations for a good company in Bangkok. Thanks.
  13. The next step: Trump announces that the billions and trillions of dollars flowing into the treasury will be used to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, with a bone thrown to the poor and middle class.
  14. Just for giggles and morons. The left wants to include the poor and middle class in the wealth of the USA by creating a living wage, rationalizing health care, taxing the extremely wealthy, etc. You may certainly disagree with those policies and make good arguments against them. Why not give that a try instead of demonizing their motives.
