I would assume the sim would have to be for a new phone number if with the same provider. Old number if with new provider. True?

Yes, you can port the number to Truemove H if you wish and apply that way.

Make sure that you can receive 10 Mbps with Truemove H at your location before you port the number and if so, apply the package within seven days of obtaining the new SIM.

Perhaps you are right, it is just a strong flu. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the victims that died were old or young? Hell, I may have it (been sick for almost 2 weeks)... ha-ha. The CDC reports that an estimated 56,000 people die from the flu each year so this isn't causing me any stress. 

Why should it cause you any stress? Are you living in Wuhan?

I'm sure the doctor that died wasn't young nor old.

Check your humanity, you may have dropped it somewhere. I'm sure that his family are more than stressed.

I'm sure they have a telephone number/email address. The General Manager is Thai/American, so I'm also sure that you will get a reply in legible English.

I ask you, because you were telling having had problems to avoid those shields.

 

It's so easy:

If you see such shields (or holes in the surface, gully covers etc) early enough, look in your mirrors or even over your shoulder. Then, If the traffic allows it, change your direction smoothly and bypass the obstacle.

If you see it late, stay relaxed, keep your speed and go on straight. No hard braking, no sharp moves and everything will be ok. As one should know, on two wheels speed is stability.

 

The roads here are dangerous as everyone should know. And there are many things to blame: mindless or reckless drivers, morons speeding out of the sois without looking if someone's coming, pedestrians jumping on the street from behind a tour bus right in front of you and far more.

Those are the problems, not metal shield or the (compared to Europe and US) lack of warning signs.

 

My advice to unexperienced or elderly riders with problems to keep balance on their 125cc-monsters and especially tourists:

 

Take a motorbike taxi! Their driving may scare you a bit, some of them are quite fast using the road like a slalom piste - but they CAN drive even with a 150-kg-farang on the back seat.

No need to ask me. It was simply in reply to those who stated, "avoid them".

Way too many "experts" willing to criticise victims on this forum... always thinking they know better.

Hi I am ontop of streaming and I would advise to use an Xiaomi Mi 4 Tv box which is excellant for the price and far better than all the others I have tried except the expensive Nvidia Shield streaming box which is 3-4 times the price of the Xiaomi. I recently switched to the Nvidia from the Xiaomi and it is a better picture slightly but streaming abilities are similar. Debatable if it is worth the extra money.

As aforementioned, you'll need a VPN with any new Roku.

Getting a new visa is way more of a chore than getting a visa-exempt entry. Since you won't be entering the number of the expired visa on your landing card, it most likely will be ignored. However, there's always the chance of getting an IO that will think you are trying to use an expired visa or wonder why you didn't use the visa before it expired. None of their business really but polite, truthful answers should work.

If you put the visa number on the T.M.6 then yes it will look like you are trying to use an expired visa.

I sometimes use VE even though I have a visa, as the visa is for a different purpose. So I don't put the visa number on the T.M. 6 and inform that I do not want to use the visa.

 Why to avoid such shields? Just go straight on instead of breaking on it or, even worse, trying to change the line abruptly because panicking.

If you have not enough experience to ride on roads like that, don't blame others for your driving faults.

Why are you asking me? Ask the victim blamers;

You are all experts, but cannot quite agree on what he should have done...

How apt....

Oh, please!  This is, as you say, whether it was a proportionate response.  That is, regardless of the perp's crimes, was it the right thing to do by the police, while endangering the lives of the public.

 

I guess you've had a little too much yourself!

I have no idea what you are trying to write. Is it English? Either way, you appear to have grabbed the wrong end of the stick.

Just about every here agrees that it was not a proportionate response, regardless of their attitude towards whatever he was selling.

My guess is that Pol Gen Chakthip did not want Pol Gen Veerachai Songmetta investigating this to the benefit of Pol Lt-Gen Surachet Hakparn: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/police-probe-shooting-of-ex-immigration-chiefs-car-in-bangkok/

So his answer was to sack him. After all, if the investigation led back to the police, it would be to their detriment. Just a guess and in no way an allegation...

Beer does contain alcohol but it is NOT distilled and is a natural process

Alcohol is NOT a hard drug as you replied in a previous post!

The terms "soft drugs" and "hard drugs" are arbitrary terms with little to no clear criteria or scientific basis.

 

Typically, the term "hard drug" has been used to categorize drugs that are addictive and injectable, notably, heroin, cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine. Marijuana is usually the only drug included within the category of "soft" drugs, although some people include nicotine and alcohol in the soft drug category because of their legal status for use by adults, and their relative social acceptability compared to illegal drugs.

 

The term "soft drug" is sometimes used interchangeably with the term gateway drug, a term that is equally inaccurate.

Perhaps it would pay you to a little research next time!

Beer comes out of the ground does it?

Natural process? It does this all by itself??

Quote

1. Malted barley is soaked in hot water to release the malt sugars.
2. The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning.
3. The solution is cooled and yeast is added to begin fermentation.
4. The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol.
5. When the main fermentation is complete, the beer is bottled with a little bit of added sugar to provide the carbonation.

Took the trouble to edit your post in so that I could reply to it.

Enjoy your ethyl alcohol. I have the best education that public school could offer....and I don't like beer. It's disgusting.

The prompt at the bottom of the thread says 'Reply to Topic'.

I suggest many of the posters should understand what the 'topic' is.  It's certainly not about whether alcohol is a drug or not.  

Nip this in the bud, mods.

Perhaps you missed it, but we are discussing whether it was a proportionate response. 

Now put down that beer...

Comparing dealers of Heroin, Yabba, whatever, to sales of alcohol is a moronic old chestnut.

Who has done so? 

Point out the offender in so that we can stone him.

I agree. The problem is, that people they use drugs like heroine can´t work after a while but need money for their drugs. So they become criminal. Some who drink a couple of beer or wine per week will never have this problem.

 

Same as people they do sports, drive cars and motorcycles, eat sugar, fat, eat too much, etc., all what´s risky for health?

Why all this misogyny? What have you against heroic women?! ????

I have had the same dtac number for 11 years now, but this year seems coverage and service have def declined, let alone true and ais have much better deals now. Im going this weekend to switch providers.

DTAC has exactly the same deal. But if you are unhappy with coverage and service, them perhaps time to move on. 

You can port your number or just buy another SIM, keeping your old one active with the 2 baht per month of validity codes.

So I can't get it if I currently have a sim? What's the best prepaid i can get??

Just buy a new SIM for 50 baht. How hard is that?

Otherwise you can port your number to Truemove H and sign up with them.

I have no idea what you're on about.

 

Alcohol is a drug. Marijuana is a drug. Doesn't matter what they're "sold as."

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(drug)

 

The fact that they're derived differently doesn't change the fact they're both drugs. And I wasn't expressing any opinion on the merits of one vs the other.

 

You wrote sold as.

If you didn't write sold as we would not be here discussing it.
