  1. Kinda tough to ski in thailand? And yes, there are a few rinks here. There's always Youtube. Various quasi-government supported organizations often under Royal Patronage, like the Badminton Association of Thailand, manage participation from youth programs to Olympics. Sailing and equestrian get some focus, for obvious reasons. Volleyball is quite popular here, but the thai teams don't always qualify.
  2. TP-LINK TL-MR6400 ? ~ 2,000-ish. Good price for this bit of kit. That router has some inherent limitations, 10/100 LAN ports, and various limits on the WAN side (300 Mbps but that's not real-world) and limits on the WiFi side. But it's a decent option for many applications. Portability? So-so. You're getting 70x40 on a 10Mbps plan? I guess anything is possible, including that the speedtest is "reliable"? Who knows what the OP's application requirements, budget, equipment budget are? Until then, it's a shot in the dark. Aim low, but not at your feet. Yeah but it's not.
  3. Well he did until he realized how stoopid he sounded. What a putz. He's since "apologized". So that's 645 per day, starting today. Ot are they all going to arrive en masse for New Years? Arrivals from RUH today? Zero (actual or scheduled).
  4. https://www.lifestyleasia.com/bk/living/people/beijing-2022-winter-olympics-4-thai-athletes-were-rooting-for/ And let's not get started on Vanessa-Mae (Vonakorn), who with the help of some lube, "slid" in, The thai bobsled team probably would have run over a few spectators, brake failure.
  5. AIS provided FREE coverage for both Summer (Tokyo) and Winter (Beijing) games. They offered ten (10) simultaneous channels. Yes, you needed to have an AIS SIM (50 baht) if you're not one of their ~ 43 million customers. I assume they purchased the streaming rights for thailand, then provided access for free as a marketing play?
  6. 7-day average positivity (PCR only I guess) 2/21/2022 20.90% 2/24/2022 27.82% Unless they just want everyone to get infected...well, probably too late for a 7-day shutdown to have much effect now.
  7. You're on mobile data, not WiFi from a mobile data router? Yes, one can create a hotspot on a mobile phone, so maybe no need for a router for infrequent usage when traveling. And why such low speeds? The short straw is often not the SIM/mobile data. It's the WiFi in your "router" and in your phone. Hence the choice of a router, and the phone, become the primary factors. The plan, package or SIM the OP needs really depends on their application requirements. But yes, typically one of the fixed bandwidth (1/4/10 Mbps) unlimited volume 1 year SIMs might be a good fit. Slow, but sure.
  8. One is through 2017. The other through 2015. So both quite out of date. Better question, what are the other ten (approximate delta between total YA suicides and YA suicides by drug overdose, assuming these figures are accurate) using to commit suicide? Hint: Bang! Some portion of the increase is probably just due to the increased speed, scope, reach of information today. Another bit is probably due to the ebb/flow of general malaise associated with the (then) current local, regional, country "situation" (perception, economy, prospects, future)? More locally, here in thailand, we're often told that love (lack thereof) and money (and a better reincarnated life) are the leading reasons.
  9. Interesting that the authorities knew enough to surveil this guy until "things worked out". Lends credence the urban legend that some mules get snitched for various/sundry reasons. There have been a few cocaine busts recently, 15.5 Kg at Suvarnabhumi last week.
  10. Wow, I'm surprised they're "letting" the numbers get this high. With ATK this figure will be presumably close to 40,000?
  11. You want to sell one single unit? Or multiple units? You'll have competition, from both ThaiNexusman and Tree Mobile. I bought my Pixel 6 from ThaiNexusMan, 128 GB, 23,500 pre-order (23,900 now). I'd venture to say Facebook is the largest SME front here. Which variant (SKU)? There are a few. How much are you hoping to get? Is "Baht and Sold" a thing anymore? https://www.bahtsold.com/
  12. All three major providers here offer similar pricing/packaging, and network coverage. There is no one single clear universal winner. Maybe 10 - 15 years ago this was a thing. An eventual True-DTAC merger might give that new provider a slight edge if ever so briefly.
  13. AIS had a 10-channel Winter Olympics stream for free on AIS Play. Similar to what they did for the Tokyo Summer Games. The just-finished Winter Olympics were a bit of a bust: the host's human rights record, country-jumpers, PEDs, abusing 15 YOs, not a great look overall. Thailand had on O-fer, on medals obviously. Until sepak takraw gets played on ice, thai results will remain zero. Trust me, the World Cup will be shown here, but that decision will be taken at the last minute. And not all group matches will be shown. The loss of Fox Sports has been a big blow: golf majors, tennis majors, F1 - had hoped an option would present (Via Disney), but none so far.
  14. Clear cache and cookies. Close browser and re-open Do the 5 minute shuffle a few times (2), then close/reopen browser, you should get the email option with SEND, bang on that to get RESEND, email with 6 digit PIN shows in 5 seconds.
  15. I'd try running the app on your phone then cast it to the TV. Assuming that app supports casting. I did a quick search but couldn't find anything definitive. Yes, there are all sorts of challenges re: the "location" of you Google account. My main account is US-Based but I have a few which are Thai-based.
  16. You used this new web portal to file in early December? https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login Or previously registered for it, but have yet to utilize it?
  17. There were claims of 100 million baht in unpaid medical bills, so ~ 350,000 tourists would pay that off with the new surcharge. This, assuming tourists return at a reasonable clip, 25% pre-COVID, ~ 10 million will yield a cool 3 billion. My first question: So all tourists get free emergency medical care? (Uhm, no.)
  18. Jumping on this one... It looks like there are some updates to the Mor Prom app, Rev. 0.7.1 updated Jan. 10. 2022 The Digital Health Pass button now leads to a page with two tabs: - Digital Health Pass - EU Digital COVID Certificate For the latter it says "Under Test", and This U DCC QR Code is under test, and it says Vaccinated for NN days and has an expiration date. My QR code doesn't yield anything other than a very long text string. The 'old' International Certificate button works as it did previously.
  19. It's on WiFI? Surely you have some video inputs?
  20. We've never really confronted, acknowledged, dealt with or reconciled the Original Sin.
  21. And to think that without the leaked video this modern day lynching might have gone unpunished. 'They almost got away with it': How a leaked video led to convictions in the Ahmaud Arbery case https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/-almost-got-away-leaked-video-led-convictions-ahmaud-arbery-case-rcna6690
  22. Sensing a potential change in government, they seem quite desperate to push this through, insuring perpetual generational income for themselves going forward. Half expect other ministries to queue up for even more tourist fees... Ministry of Edumacation, 100 baht to improve language skills RTP, 200 baht, to look the other way, each tourist gets one free get out of jail card.
