i have been using my android box for about 4 years now and have never used a vpn. MX 9 Pro i think it was like 1,400 when i first brought it) now own 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFUv12M0VaU I have had to replace the remotes alot, ( around 120 baht each time via Lazada, but the box is still fine Fist BBB and than AIS fiber> Kodi, Mobdro, ( before they shut it down) exodus + ( and a few other over the years> and the 2 links in my post above for news and sports The ais play box gives you thai tv for free but .....who cares or need a lot of setting up?... plenty of you tube video's will walk ya thru the set up

same goes for AIS's playbox, Cant load any external apps on it> I got one for free when i signed up with ais fiber years ago, after the first month free, i gave them back the box as the "english" service channels was to much for very little kodi, exodus plus, https://www.livenewsnow.com/ and https://fullmatchtv.com/ for me

of course< the bus is used by locals/laborers daily usually once/hour as its a 45-50 minute trip also bus Kamala ( via surin, chern talay, town) karon ( via kata, chalong, town) last town departure back to the beach is 5 pm

uk tourists cancelling out of sandbox cause thailand is now red listed there domestic tourists allowed in (with special requirements) at least this will help those NON sha + hotels got to keep the baht flowing

never have i used a vpn with my android box an never been blocked have used BBB an AIS FYI: I miss Mobdro ;-( have yet to find a free all inclusive alternative

why? as far as the sandbox goes, its not the vaccinated, tested new international arrivals that are feeding the outbreak and rises of positive cases in Phuket Its the local thai's an burmese migrants

adventure is good for the soul moved to phuket in 1985 left this june for Kep, Cambodia NEVER say you have nowhere else to go, there is always somewhere ????

AS::::...Thailand to consider extending lockdown amid warning over rising cases: phuket would be foolish to make it easier for anyone domestically to enter now

while 104 infected cases reported today over the 64 from yesterday

never understood all those here that obviously hate phuket and than even hate specific areas on the island and feel the need to tell everyone> I spent 22 years in Kamala an loved it> after trips to foreign shores used to head to the beach, head out to sea an look back at the mtns an green hills and say, " dam, nice place I found" Never minded the call to prayers and its kinda quiet where i am now without them ????

interesting is an under statement> I like Kep, u do need ur own entertainment thou or head to Kampot as soon as borders open have a few trips planned, to areas of Burma have not yet visited an Bhutan

smart tv or android box and kodi with the exodus+ add on gave up true over 6 years ago...... have never looked back

used to enter Cambodia every few weeks overland in 87/88 to mine stones lived in PP in 2008/09. made the move this year and am building in Kep, (not nearly as hot as Phuket) its got a nice feel to it but it is a 2nd, 3rd rate country compared to Thailand< if it were not for my gf being khmer, i'd not be here LOL ONLY thing dangerous nowadays is travelling by motorcycle on the roads but yep, got to lock everything up at night

just use Grace; have ur extension issued and she will move your address for ya 14,000 all in no big deal If all ur after is an easy country for immigration, Cambodia cant be beat over 55, $300 /year includes multiple re entry ( IF we ever can once again use them) not 90 day reports no tm 30, only the $300

how many bars does one need? i figure up pre covid there were at least 2 dozen up and running, same number or more stand alone restaurants serving at least beer> yea its not Patong....

i truly hope they ran some dna tests on him and her. a thai confession is not worth much in my eyes

Since i've been in Thailand, have lived thru, 4 coups and 5 violent protests> NOTHING changes .....only the players

and as all tourists are required to download the tracking Mor Chana app//.. they will be ablee to track her previous places visited.
