☺️You should have gone to Specsavers 

Indeed, in my defense I was only looking at the main packages, not the top ups!

Did you check your existing router for Band 40?

Per the OP, I still have to decide on a router as part of my move to a new system so not looked at individual specs yet.

From my brief perusal, the routers I have seen are mainly 4G, not 5G (I've only looked at a couple so far).  From my described usage would the slower speeds affect me adversely

Was there an impediment to the Thunder SIM?

The channel thing as mentioned and therefore the need to pair it up with a specific spec of router to get the best use, and I don't think it is an AIS product which is my first choice for SIM.

If you have a Thai partner, look at GoMo

https://gomo.th/package

 

You can obtain unlimited 10Mbps for 149 baht per month. 

I can see the website in English, but don't see the deal you mention.  Can you point me in the right direction, and also explain the reference to having a Thai partner?

I hope I've got the terminology correct and I've read a fair bit in here about them, but by no means confident about what I should be looking for. 

I'm moving location shortly and it apppears this will be the most efficient method of connecting my laptop and TV stick to the internet in my new digs.  The new place has a good signal on the AIS SIM in my phone, so I'm tempted to go straight to AIS rather than experiment with other suppliers.  Good idea or not?

If anyone keeps an eye on Lazada or wherever, can you tell me the current goto SIM package considering I'm a low volume (I think) user?  Laptop browsing several hours a day (occcasional youtube vid), TV usually on for a similar amount of time with occasional sport watching, no torrents.

Finally, any recommendations on the portable hotspot required?  Maybe more important, anything to really avoid?  I've read about issues with the Thunder SIM and it's unique hotspot requirements and although I don't think they'll affect me, is there anything similar waiting to catch me out?

Thanks all.

Which branches out of interest?

Could understand if I was withdrawing money but I was depositing relatively small sums.

A classic indication of money laundering is depositing money into accounts not in your name, and starting with lower amounts to build up a pattern before increasing them over time.  The bank did well to act as they did.

@treetopsMaybe you might want to research the official data published by the ONS rather than relying on “Bings chat box thingy” as the evidence to support your claim that “one in five murders are committed by former murderers released on parole”.

The Bot thingy has informed you that 348 murders were committed by those under the supervision of the Prison and Probation Service, the Bot thingy doesn’t claim, according to your quote, that they had previously been convicted a murder or had even served a custodial sentence.

It's not my claim, just contributing to the conversation.

I did check the ONS but couldn't find the breakdown, so please provide a link if you have it.  I did subsequently find the link to homicides, hence my query to cleopatra2 whose numbers roughly tie up with those of all homicides, which includes murder and manslaughter.

Granted the figures only mention those on probation, not necessarily those convicted of murder but I've since found the original article mentioned by the Bing thingy (link below) and it refers to the figures being derived from

Quote

. . . . the government's recording of serious further offences (SFOs), which refer to specific violent and sexual crimes – including murder and rape – committed by former inmates on probation.

so it's not as if they were on probation for minor offences.

All of this means the figures given originally appear credible IMO.  Here's the original article I found so please direct your incredulity to the publishers (Yahoo News - fairly credible source I think) rather than someone who at least tried to verify the point being discussed with no pre-conceived bias either way.

Thank you.

There were over 3,000 homicides recorded in England  and Wales between 2015 to 2020

Don't shoot the messenger ????

Would your homicide figure include manslaughter as well as murder which is what I asked Bing?

What is the source of that claim, l don’t believe it to be correct?

Bing's chat bot thingy appears to agree with it, at least up until 2020..

I sign then enter my passport number and use the pull down menu and select my country and it retreives my data exactly as I entered it before, nothing could be easier.

As you say, with the addition of clicking on the little magnifying glass icon before the previous data is pulled into the form.

Canada freezing bank accounts ??? source for that bit of news, please

I think BritScot may be referring to the Canadian Government freezing the bank accounts of participants in the truckers' protests last year?

Go to the banking sub-forum.  Lots of talk about it.

How did you know/find out which was the correct system to buy?

Word of mouth.  A mate had been using this type and I bought the same.

Do they all work on 125KHz and if not how do you find out?

No, I'm pretty sure there are different systems as many places I have been unable to read the supplied fob/card.

A succesful read shows up on the device.

At the bottom of the page it's a currency calculator and previously when example you key in DKK 30000,-that would have show TT rates, i.e., Thb 150000,- on the calculator not the Bank note rate which after the misleading change show Thb 75000,- which is wrong because you will receive Thb 150000,- for they who transfer money which I guess most of us do.

What it showed previously is immaterial.  What it is showing now is the bank note rates and as they don't want these notes they are  offering the low rate you noticed.  If you want a calculator for the rate you get on a bank transfer you'll need to look elsewhere.

Will that device work with the flat key cards that resemble a credit card? 

It depends on the cards and their operating/programming frequency.  I got 4 cards and 4 fobs with my programmer and have used both successfully in the right places.

As a hotel owner I have to ask. 

Why?

If a hotel only gives out one and I want one each for me and my girlfriend and there's no point in asking in some places.

To save me going out to security at home when I have an expected visitor.

If I want a flat card to fit in my wallet rather than a more bulky fob.

To avoid the situation of the OP if I lose one.

For visitors from North America, who want to enter LOS in Chiang Mai, one can fly with Eva Air from Taipei direct or Korean Air direct from Seoul (and probably with other Asian carriers).

Also via Taipei with China Airlines and if self-transferring with Thai AirAsia.

In my experience the hospital confirmed with me before they released any information to the insurance company so it hadn't been done at approval stage, and the only hospital they checked was the one I was attending AFAIK.

Earliest sets I did in quantity were Philips G8 (this one is missing the line scan board, should be on the right).

I made these boards as an apprentice, although I can't remember the rest of the names.  Perhaps an RGB and a Line/Frame Sync and maybe one more.

70,000 tuners per week too, where the wobbulators in the testers needed calibrated every  morning.

We rejuvinated a few CRTs on the side on occasion too which was fun.

Depends on the type of keys, but I've used one of these succesfully at some condos and hotels.  Pic is from ebay in the UK but I got mine from Lazada with 4 cards and 4 fobs for less.

There are several other transfer houses similar to Wise, including ones that can often better it on value, if not on service, on lower amounts.

Xendpay is one I've used as they often give special offers which allow them to beat Wise as a one off.

Do you misunderstand or misinterpret all the posts you read on here or just some of them?  Your replies on many topics appear to miss the point of what's actually happening or being discussed.

No, I don't.

Using the full quote, which you truncated in your reply, it would appear you've misunderstood or misinterpreted again.  I thought that might be the case.

so one calendar day

 

was running ~ 3 calendar days for me previously.

I think you mean one working day (Friday 9th June) but three working days?

In my recent experience posted upthread the weekend seems to be working time too as I submitted on a Saturday and received approval on a Sunday.

Asked before, but the answer was much easier then.

In this case the frequency could be read from the crystal, however the crystal in yours (labelled X1) doesn't appear to support that.  Maybe the frequency detector mentioned would help, or buy one of each from a seller who will accept returns and return the "wrong" one.
