When I first saw the heading for this thread I thought it read: Bat Guano Sauce. I thought what the heck, then took a 2nd closer look. ????

MEDiBANK hacker follows through ! UPDATE !
grain replied to Social Media's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Aren't there any IT experts in Australia smart enough to get into the dark web and bring it down, wipe all those posts of the Medibank records? -
Koh Samui, there are some Russians at a bar at Koh Samui who can help you out. I read something about it last week.

I nearly got caught on a COD scam that was on FB. A brand new Sony camera, latest model, a special promotion price of around 3-4K Bt. I entered thinking what the hell it's COD, I got nothing to lose, then a couple weeks later I got a phone call from a delivery man saying they had my parcel and there was 3-4K Bt to pay. I thought WOW how lucky I got one of those Sony cameras, I'm a lucky SOB. But when the parcel came it was too small and too light, so I was suspicious. The delivery man said I could not have a look a check it out first, had to pay the money then I could open it. He advised me against it, and said it could be a plastic toy or a cake of soap, I'd I'd be out of pocket a few thousand baht. So there are lots of these COD scams going on. Be careful.

Face masks still mandatory on public transport, cinemas in Thailand
grain replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I live out in the boonies of Korat, I see Thais wearing masks while riding their motorcycles on empty country roads, not another person around. I've seen them driving alone in passing cars wearing masks. I think masks have now become like their Buddhist amulets. It wouldn't surprise me if some even wear their masks while they sleep. -
78-year-old foreigner seriously injured after paragliding fall in Rawai
grain replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
A bit long in the tooth for that "man of action" sort of stuff at age 78. I hope for his sake he recovers ok from his injuries and is not bedridden or wheelchair bound from now on. -
"The revenue generated was split into 17 billion baht from Thai tourists and 400 million baht from foreign tourists", Mr. Sathien said. 17 billion baht from the domestic Thai tourists, and a measly 400 million baht from those cheap charlie foreigners. They got nothing to worry about, may as seal the country off and just rake in all those billions of baht the Thais spend. ????

90 day report blues....or maybe not?
grain replied to Toolong's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I have none of this stress, no worrying about their stupid site that apparently was set up by an IT idiot, no sweating it out about maybe I'll cop a 2000Bt fine down the track. Once every 3 months I pop into Imm and do it myself. I live far from the (Korat) Imm office, about 50km, but it takes me 5-10 minutes to do the 90 day report and then we're off to Makro & Lotus's & WishCo for shopping. Often the old fashioned way is best. -
That's what I'm thinking. OP said it could be 10 years old, so we're talking about a mc that would sell for just a few thousand bt. Obviously the TG is somebody special to OP or he wouldn't even consider it. If the TG is some form of "tirak" then just give the old mc to her. If not then sell it if you have no further use for it. Also remember "borrowing" in Thailand means you're extremely unlikely to ever have it returned. She could total it or it could get nicked, or she could just vanish with it.

I've only ever used E20 in my Mitsu Triton, can I get that in Malaysia? If not what should I use?
-
Yep did both tests, and that ratbag grain is now in the UK. But seriously, are the BIB going to go to all the bother of doing VPN DNS tests to try and track down the real identity of someone over an online complaint about a plate of food? They can barely cope with all the serious crime on their hands. The only reason they get involved in any of these online bitch sessions is people use their real names and are very easily located.

Foreigner Kills Two Teenage Girls In Songkhla Crash
grain replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Just watched that vid that was on Thai TV, pretty conclusive I'd say, the SUV pulled out in front of oncoming traffic. Clearly in the wrong in any country. Sorry for the Aussie as he's in deep deep sh*t and it's going to take a serious pile of dosh to buy back his liberty. RIP to the girls on the mc. -
Also I believe you need to have a brake light fitted to your rear window. Is that still a requirement?

So what's the approx' cost to do this if I want to take my car into Malaysia for approx' 2 weeks motoring holiday to Penang, Ipoh, Cameron Highlands?
-
Yes, I'm exactly the same. Many sites I had to register just to look at something and mostly I used 123456789 PW, I have dozens of them and couldn't give a hoot if anyone cracks them and gets in. I've still got all those silly PWs stored away in my GMail account, though I'd tried to delete some. As I mentioned above I've now changed all my important PWs with much stronger PWs.
-
Thanks for that, I have several email accounts, I checked the 2 main ones I use and one came up pwned. I think because I used it for Bolt and Bolt had a breach a while ago. Anyway, I have now changed the PWs for all my email accounts and my online banking.
-
Recently I've been getting security alerts from Google/GMail informing me some of my PWs have been found published online and for me to change all my PWs. Has anyone else been receiving these alerts? Are these alerts to be taken seriously or is it some internet BS? I really have a lot of different PWs stored with my GMail account, so changing all of them is a big task, I also don't want to go fiddling around with my stored PWs if this is some sort of scam.
