Which cash currency to use for one week trip to Luang Prabang
JayClay replied to Keeps's topic in Laos General Chat
The 3-day scheme is for Thais entering Laos without a passport. They need to obtain border pass at a government office in Nong Kai before entering Laos. It's not really relevant for your situation, but worth clarifying. Unfortunately I don't know what the situation is for a Thai entering with a Thai passport, which would be much more helpful for you. I remember going with my girlfriend (at the time) a few years back, and I don't think she needed any kind of visa, but I could easily be mistaken. -
The usual reason people on this forum need a VPN is to circumvent geo-location restrictions when attempting to access particular media streaming services.

I don't want to be pedantic, but in all the scenarios you have described people being thorough, not pedantic.

How do you mean "created"? If you used a bootable live/installer image from the Mint website then it should work just as-is on other machines. If you did a full install, then cloned the OS disk into a bootable image, then it will be more tailored to your system, driver wise. It'll probably still work on another machine but there may possibly be some odd quirks. That being said, with online updates being the way they are now, even an image of an installed OS will probably work just fine with no major issues. (edit) re-reading the question it seems that you have installed the OS and want to use it as a system you can boot from various computers and continue to have everything working. While you may see success with this approach, you would be better off creating an installation in a virtual machine using VMWare Player or Virtual Box. This was you can run it on any computer without having to worry about hardware drivers or any other kind of conflicts.

Do ‘disaster trolls’ believe the conspiracy theories they promote?
JayClay replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
No, indeed they are not "just mere theories"; they are a specific subset of theories. The rule that a theory is nothing more than a theory until there's credible evidence to back it up still holds true, regardless. -

JayClay replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Until they're proven then, yes, they are just theories. That's the dictionary definition of the word! -
I don't know if this is common practice in the industry, but my VPN provider (not Nord) offered me 2 months for free when I tried to cancel. They also then followed up and asked me how much I'd be willing to pay for a year of use. I gave a figure of around 1500bt, and the next day I got an email saying that they were able to offer me a year of service for about 1200bt. I don't know if they did that based on the fact that I hardly use the service, or they just always offer every customer a price a little lower than the customer specifies. If they're still doing the same thing this year I'll try offering 500bt! Anyway, it's worth a try cancelling with Nord, and see if they have a similar practice. You can always sign up again if they don't take the bait.

People who only view this site via mobile will never see the signatures, so it's kind of understandable that people won't know what the OP is referring to considering the wording.

Elite Visa and 90 day reporting on Samui
JayClay replied to diceman's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
If you don't leave and re-enter the country for a full year then yes, you have to do an extension at the immigration office. -
I did it when I was younger. All part of the adventure. The only "major" issue was on my very first visit, not knowing what to put as the address on the arrival card. The immigration officer was less than impressed when I tried to tell him that my plan was just to wander around and try and find somewhere to stay ????.

A little advise needed...
JayClay replied to BillStrangeOgre's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Sorry. Yes; 2 by land. -
A little advise needed...
JayClay replied to BillStrangeOgre's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You are allowed 2 visa exempt entities by air each calendar year. There's no limit to the amount of extensions you can get in any one year; if you manage to enter 5 times visa exempt, then each time you enter you can extend for an additional 30 days. -
What an abstract motion... If what "things changed" from "Thai people are all good people", exactly? Who made this thing about all Thais being good people? And who's responsible for getting the thing changed? There's plenty on this forum who already believe that "you cannot trust Thais" anyway... The truth is, of course, somewhere down the middle. Just like in pretty much every aspect of life, and in every country across the world.

10,000-Baht Digital Wallet For Each Thai Pledged In Pheu Thai Campaign
JayClay replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The government can do whatever they like with tax income. If you ask me it's better for a government to give 10,000bt indiscriminately to everyone, than just giving a load of tax breaks to the rich while continuing to **** the poor. -

JayClay replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Okay that's one half of the equation. How does that compare to the total amount of tax collected by the treasury each year? -

JayClay replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's the point of having taxes, yes. I haven't done the maths but my gut feeling is yes, Thailand can easily afford it. -
Bangkok Bank mobile app
JayClay replied to alanrchase's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
No I haven't and no I won't. I have no interest in the app. I was responding, pure and simple, to the claim that "this [blocking access to the app based on other apps that are installed] should tell you that they look at everything on your phone". Which is logically flawed. If you had said something along the lines of "that doesn't surprise me; look at the list of permissions they ask for. That should warn you that they look at everything on your phone" it would have had at least some kind of logic behind it. But that's not what you said. -
Can I use my laptop camera to 'view' pdf files on my laptop?
JayClay replied to simon43's topic in IT and Computers
You're a teacher, that makes your money from using the software. You need features that are only available in Pro. Why don't you just pay the relatively small monthly fee for the product rather than look for a bunch of work arounds that will cause you a bunch of headaches and stress? -
Bangkok Bank mobile app
JayClay replied to alanrchase's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I know what fingerprinting is, thank you. However the claim was that "This [the fact that an app is blocking access based on another app being installed] should tell you that the app is looking at everything on your phone" It doesn't. The only thing we can conclude from this isolated incident is that they are checking against a blacklist of applications. We can conclude nothing more from it in isolation. Nothing. You're free to speculate, and say something like "this could suggest that...", but stating it as a fact is like seeing the sun in the morning and concluding that it's not going to rain all week. Also, fingerprinting isn't even close to "looking qt everything on your phone" -
Fees for cardless withdrawal coming

Phishing is a universal concept and applies to all payment methods.
