Thailand not ready for a return to international tourism,

I assume all these people were mostly Thai, too happy to leave their "COVID prison" of the last 6 months to "normal" countries ????

not looking good for the summer, soon we will be wishing for a return to COVID ban on international travel ????

that comes as a complete surprise ????

You would think in the two years the place has been shut down that they could of fixed the pavements and roads. FMD 

too much thinking ahead, not a Thai trait ????

it just brings a new level of chaos that customers want to see in Walking Street ????

I planned going there in July, but now think it's too early to 'have fun' there. Will check it out after my overseas trip in a year or so.

Thailand not ready yet for full recovery, maybe September or October

Kho Samui and Phuket might survive with the August tourism boost

If that's the case, you need to upgrade the board.  A service will not fix old hardware. 

the hardware is old and the engineering logic is old, no upgrade possible with GE and those legacy systems. They work fine for banks and warehouses, overkill for a big home unless you have a mansion or a compound

trying now the cheap Chinese ones and they have everything you need

another example how over-engineering is failing and creating new opportunities for startups

Look up the manual for your alarm online.

 

You can do a service yourself.  Install a new back up battery, easy to buy, and lasts about 4 to 5 years.  Read the manual how to adjust the time settings and other customizable settings. 

 

Test everything by opening doors and triggering sensors. 

 

if you can change some settings on your phone, you can program an alarm panel. 

I have the manuals, that's not the issue. The issue is that it is an old system based on old engineering and not adapted to the new home tech, it's worthless for home use.

They have had 2 years to sort out the road/pavement so they just start when Pattaya reopens.

Thai logic, don't ask ????

looks like they have consulted Thai Generals and are using the Yingluck route ????

What issues are you having? 

probably some annual maintenance reset that needs to be done, or new call numbers to be added

they are a complete waste of time, very expensive to maintain, I am selling my old one on Ebay for 300 EUR so some warehouse owners can take them

yeah, cheapest and most reliable solution at the end if you are there all year long

Can anyone recommend a house alarm maintenance engineer. The company that installed ours is no more.

Panel is DSC brand.

pointless, buy the cheap Chinese ones on AliExpress, they are as effective and you can maintain them yourself

I used to have the GE thing, overly complex for your home, total cost about 1,000 EUR, 

might be great for a warehouse with complex traffic, but not your home

waste of time at the end,

AliExpress and full WIFI/4G solutions are there for 3,000 THB

The sheer insincerity of this man is astonishing. Does he really believe any of us are buying his pleas? Does he really think any of us consider him an effective leader, or a decent human being? 

like you said, when you have been a military man all your life surrounded by people with "fixed" skills, what else can you expect?

So where is your solution?

 

Create an excel like here:   Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy) Portfolio Tracker (saylortracker.com)

not a bad idea actually, even though I don't trade or like cryptos, I have to admit his website for tracking his holdings is quite nicely done

let's be honest, all those European leaders promoting lockdowns and "claiming" to work hard 24/7 to "save" us from COVID, all had at some point some "drinking party" to take some pressure off with their loyal staff ????

BoJo doesn't come as a surprise,

low cost brand targeting low cost outlets in Europe and Asia using Germany build reputation,

Can't compete in Germany for build quality,

What are you talking about mate?????? I have just joined here yesterday!????

 must have been on another Thai related forum,

anyway, Excel is not a bad thing to track your trades, as long as you have the right computation methodology, which honestly is not hard

so in other words, you don't know!

I think you were given a lot of good answers, not sure why you would ask the exact same question ????

anyway, you can do it in Excel, but you need to know Excel and use the right methodology, you can find some examples in most financial education websites

it will also depend a lot on the number of trades that you have,

if you had a lot of trades, it should have been the first thing to do before buying another batch of BTC so you could track your real costs with entry and exit points

in the same article, another gem

In practice, crypto adherents have struggled to say exactly what their creation is or, more importantly, what it’s good for. Cryptocurrencies aren’t actual currencies because nearly no one uses them to pay for anything. (Pornography and criminal activity are notable exceptions.)

 

Even Coinbase, a large crypto exchange, charges customers in dollars to trade on its platform. Cryptocurrencies also aren’t securities, like stocks and bonds, though regulators are considering declaring them so in the name of protecting investors.
