  1. Unfortunately they're often used for nefarious purposes and web delivery and security companies like Cloudfare may blacklist their IP addresses, thus negating the benefit for genuine users who'll have to switch them off in such circumstances.
  2. Once it's surrounded by water butts, blue piping and pumps, and the garish interior walls decorated with cartoon stickers, and the hardstanding filled with all sorts of vehicles and assorted junk it'll look like all the other ones built to someone's exclusive design.
  3. I agree that's a possibility as I watched a build going up a couple of years ago which was converted as you say. Initially 4 apartments on two upper levels with parking/storage below. Apartments were easily let, so the developer filled in the downstairs space to make it 12 apartments. Pics below. I don't think that's the case here as the left hand side of the house is genuinely two habitable/usable floors (stairs up and down from the room inside the entrance) and it's only the right hand side which has the low height basement. I think it was designed from the outset like this.
  4. Yes, after clicking on a particular restaurant. I tried a few and they all had it but just tried a few more and it appears not all do. Pizza Hut has it but Domino's doesn't for example. I use Tap Translate Screen. It's fiddly to select the text to start with but you soon get the hang of it.
  5. Agreed - I used Agoda primarily when travelling monthly within Thailand for over a year during covid. I've lost count of the times I wanted to stay an extra night or two and the hotel reception could beat the Agoda price. Mainly I think that's down to reception staff not having the authority to reduce the walk-in rates, but as you say, if you can deal with an owner (or manager) your chances improve. I do this now with a hotel I stay in every couple of weeks and the manager still honours my covid times rate.
  6. Well it was posted over 11 years ago. Time and technology has probably moved on.
  7. Android phone and no 3 lines for me either, but in a couple of the images in the OP you can see an option for Menu Language. I see that too and it appears to have defaulted to English for me so nothing to change. Only the menus are translated though, if the restaurant name is in Thai I still have to use a translation app if I want to know it.
  8. Yes, another common occurence nowadays. I do a lot of slightly longer trips than just about town (~300 baht to Sri Racha) and thought it was they weren't guaranteed a pick up to come back, but now noticing it on shorter ones too.
  9. Is this the same place you asked about last month? https://aseannow.com/topic/1291489-please-help-advise-on-the-internal-design-of-house-we-propose-to-build-in-thailand/
  10. i've certainly noticed an increase but put it down to surge pricing, however going by the comments it may well be an across the board increase. Not surprising IMO, as their cheap deals appeared to be get them into the market and were always going to increase over time.
  11. Because hackers are becoming more inventive in their attempts to break through security so banks have to try and keep a step ahead.
  12. No additional fee. The price you see on the app is the price you pay.
  13. Once set up in Thailand, you (or the OP) don't need data roaming but network roaming which will connect your Thai SIM to a partner network in your home country. Receiving SMSs is then free as mentioned above.
  14. Is your RBS account a Euro account? If so, then yes it's SEPA approved. https://www.rbs.co.uk/business/support-centre/making-and-accepting-payments/electronic-payments/sepa-direct-debit.html
  15. Says "before the due date" so I read that as not on the due date, but have never tried it out.
  16. That's not how my insurance company treat it (Pacific Cross). In patient requires an overnight stay while a day bed operation is regarded as out patient (for which I'm not covered) AIUI.
  17. Will that test for anything that these guys don't have a test for? https://swimmingpoolsthailand.com/en/102-water-testing-and-analysis
  18. How do you know the quackery fixed it? Maybe the disc protrusion retracted itself. If parts had become detached the neurosurgeon could have fixed it much quicker.
  19. I don't have access to it. The entire floor's meters are centrally located in a locked room.
  20. Celsius was not the OP and mentioned his post might be thought of as "hijacking" so I hoped for some clarification as a I am too with BBL but have seen no such warning in the app.
  21. Interesting - my Type is 1124 too and I'm in a small condo with nothing to note of more power usage than anyone else.
  22. You won't unless your in the vicinity of a UK mobile phone mast. It's not sent to individual numbers but to all (switched on) phones within the range of a transmitter when the warning signal is sent.
