I have AIS Play plus AIS internet package.

 

Good range of live HD TV programs in English and Thai. Sky News, CNN, Singapore News, free Thai channels and HBO Go for US movies and series all included.

 

Tiny box plus a remote control. On screen guide in English or Thai, on screen timer reminder.

 

Much cheaper than True and has all HBO and Cinemax channels.

 

Installation for me was fully automatic .... said to the long haired one that I wanted to move from True to AIS, man turned up, removed the True stuff and fitted a little white box and placed remote in my hand.

 

Job done.

 

I believe bills can be paid at 7-11, but again this is all automatic. 

 

It's been reliable for 18 months now, and regular updates download via on-screen menu to add features and improved interface.

 

I am about to change to AIS as True, well Bein, has lost Premier League football next season, the final straw.

However, I need a second box. Is it possible to connect the second box to the router, wirelessly?

We are not playing 'Bargain Hunt' Its not about compromise, it's about paying what we owe or even what we don't.

It was mutually agreed that we owe i.r.o. 39bn.

Regarding the divorce bill. The EU insisted that this was put to bed before any other negotiations could take place. The UK started the bidding at 25bn. The EU started bidding at 72bn. They settled on 39bn. Do the maths, who made the biggest compromise?

???? - regardless of the nuances.  Im not against prostitution BTW - but to deny it occurs in walking street and is not a predominant business in the area seems at odds with reality to me ????

Probably because you don't understand the definition of prostitution as an illegal act in Thailand. I personally have never seen evidence of it on Walking Street but I know that it occurs many times every day on Soi 6.

TM had no right to commit the UK without consulting parliament which she only did this year, 3 times and 3 times it was rejected by parliament. That means there was NO written and signed agreement and what was not signed for cannot be committed to.

 

As a Brexiteer I have no objection to a financial settlement, however IMHO that means a fully audited agreement on who owes what and that firstly has to be audited and accounted for by an independent company, preferably Switzerland, and then agreed line by line for each article.

 

If there is a disagreement, put that one one side and complete the whole bill. Then pay that part of the bill and go back to the uncompleted items and deal with each one in turn.

 

Do NOT accept Mrs May's guesstimate but get a complete and signed off audit  of all the things that affect the UK and the EU before any agreement which must then go back to the UK parliament for ratification. If they agree then fine but if the EU want the guesstimate then play the guesstimate game back to them.

All very pretty but the EU will not renegotiate the agreement.

I'll be watching it on ITV Hub (ITV4). Need a VPN set to a UK node. Also has catch up if you don't watch it live.

The Mogg has persistently pointed out that under our constitution a PM cannot be bound by any commitment made by an immediate predecessor.

It would come under the jurisdiction of EU law not British law (we don't have a constitution unless you consider Magna Carta)

Fortunately, it's not entirely down to the EU either. 

Correct. It was agreed between the British government and the EU. Deal done.

Legally signed off as a done deal..I do not think so!!!

Unfortunately it's not down to you. The EU does think so. Whatever terms we leave on the divorce bill has been agreed upon.

The only way out of it is to revoke Article 50 which would incur no bill as we invoked it on a "no win no fee" basis.

What if the money changes hands in the bar?

You are planning to prosecute the short time hotel? 

It's a question of where the sex takes place, butr your point is probably why it's traditional to pay the girl in the room, not the bar.

A short time hotel is a hotel. Once you have rented the room, what you do in there is your business, hotel is not liable, same as any other hotel.

They didn't say that.  Thaivisa and an associated blog wrote that, but it was fake news, as so often.

 

The statement after the Walking Street check was that bars were found to follow regulations.  That's very different from claiming that there's no prostitution, but some blog writers don't care.. 

IME there is no prostitution takes place in Walking Street. For the prostitution to take place in bars and gogos they would need onsite short time rooms. Most if not all of these have disappeared from Walking Street. The actual prostitution takes place in the privacy of a hotel room, which isn't illegal in Thailand or a number of Western countries.

The strangest thing about all of this is that Boris Johnson is lying to people, who know he is lying to them, and they want to be lied to ... because they are lying to themselves ... like a suicide pact, everyone’s a winner.

Shades of Trump's base.

Most of the bars are reputed to be owned by the police anyway.

Where did you get that myth from? Most of the bars are owned by farangs - Brits in particular.

exactly what I said in my previous post.

This is the Thai's leveraging the Chinese out.

1. it won't open again for 5 years.

2. Only a minority of bars on Soi 6 are owned by Thais.

If it is about leveraging, it's about farangs leveraging Chinese.

A mass exodus from non paying tax dodgers leaving all those specially erected "Garden Sheds and Extensions" all over South East and West London..............thousands and thousands of them......Normandy all over again.

Mostly from the Indian sub-continent. They're not affected by Brexit. Sorry but they're here to stay.

Shut all the prostitution bars down in Pattaya. Thousands of foreigners criminals would have no place to hang out. it would fix so many of the problems with the majority of foreigners throughout Thailand

Would seriously affect Soi 6 but hardly anywhere else. Only bars with onsite rooms are "prostitution bars".

Let's just say I wouldn't want to be selling Flowers or Greek food on the soi right now.

I think that the guy selling Flowers has been sent to Coventry. 555
