They can return them within a week after Lazada delivered them.

The only foreign threat is China.  Are they going to fight China with their own submarines?

Given the lethal nature of Thai roads its disappointing.

There is nothing wrong with Thai roads, unless you drive a motorcycle. 

I checked prices for the Toyota Fortuner. It starts at 1.3 million TBH, which is very cheap compared to prices of similar cars in Europe. Did you check other models? Is your example really made in Thailand or imported?

But if you check ...

... you can see that it has indeed been hacked.

I would NOT go there.  If you look at the source of that page you see a LOT of weird javascript. Probably enough to infect your own computer.

Not hard get around the problem by doing a few clicks.

 

There are reasons why you shouldn't do that.

The certificate expired 5 days ago. 

This is really a problem that 1) shouldn't occur and 2) can be solved within 5 minutes.

France has (had?) the two licence system for decades now, with big bikes starting at 400 cc. 

 

 

Most EU countries have. In NL you need another license for everything over 50 cc.

I have a copy from the Amphur. It looks almost like the original, but it is a copy. It was enough to get a visa.

Speed a person gets can vary "greatly"....repeat, greatly..

It can of course vary.  But the problem with True is that you can have a FULL 4G signal on your phone, but not a single bit of data is coming in. And that in the centre of Bangkok. Resetting the phone doesn't help. Again a full signal, but even Whatsapp doesn't work. For me it seems that True has big problems in their network.

I never experienced something similar with AIS. 

That's very typical for True mobile. You can have a full 4G signal, but no speed at all. Sometimes not even enough to send a Whatsapp.

If they cut you off you will lose your number too, also for incoming calls.  If you have no contract you can try to transfer your number to another provider.

I never understood how Tweeting or Blogging could be considered a "business" anywhere.  Guess I still live in the past.  Hope he gets his Visa worked out.

Some people get a 6 figure income with blogging. 6 figures in USD, not in Baht.

2 different kind of viruses...

and yet the latter had more time to prepare than the former because they were hit by the virus later...

You can even say that the experiences of countries with the first type were misleading for countries who had to deal with the second type. I can even remember that at the beginning of this year it was clear that the virus was not transmissible from person to person.

This is the usual mistake: conflating the subject and the author.

 

It's like if you said that one can't complain about a surgeon who just messed up an intervention, because one couldn't do better. 

 

I am not a government, not even a small part of one.

 

So there is no reason for me to do better than political leaders, no more than there are reasons for them to perform better than me in my (former) professional specialty.

 

 

A surgeon studied 10+ years to be a surgeon. You can expect that he does his job well.

No political leader studied to fight Covid virusses. It's something new for everybody. Nobody was prepared. The only thing you do is sitting behind your computer blaming people without having a solution yourself, and without being able to do it better yourself.

No mate, i just proof the bread in the microwave, then in the glass Otto oven, and it works fine.

Where do you buy ingredients?   I made bread before in my home country, but the price was double compared to buying bread in a shop.

Western governments were caught with their pants down, and messed up badly when it came to dealing with the pandemic.

Would you have been better prepared if you had been part of such a government? You saw this coming and you were prepared for this situation?

Certainly mistakes have been made in my home country. But I am convinced they did their best.

Because he wants a decent brand of notebook.

Asus is good. The quality is comparable with Dell and Lenovo.  It is better to avoid Acer. 

In Bangkok I see some condo's for 25% less than before.  Not all, there are now big differences in the same building. It seems some people are desperate, others not. I also see more flexibility with contracts. First you always got a 1 year contract, now 3, 6, 9 months is also possible for the same monthly term.

True has free calling for 30 days within their network after a 150 baht topup.

It seems that when there has been no new reply in a topic for a certain period of time the topic is closed, probably automatically.

Forum software has this option because most replies made on old forum posts are spam. 

Ask the seller to put $10 as the value of the package. At least that helps to avoid paying tax when receiving a package from Aliexpress in Europe.
