  1. I read that communication with radio signals is not possible because of the salt water and depth. They use acoustic signals (sonar) for communication. https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/translational-acoustic-rf-tarf-communication/overview/#:~:text=communicate with airplanes%3F-,For decades%2C communicating between underwater and the air has remained,across both water and air.
  2. If I understood it correctly they died so quickly that they didn't even realise that they die. Perhaps they don't even know it yet that they are dead ????.
  3. I got it here in Pattaya a week ago. You have to be patient. I always think if I should try to get a yellow book to avoid taxes. But when I factor in that effort to get one... I think it does not make sense anymore at my age even if I am not that old.
  4. You see yourself - we don't need so many bars anymore ????. Things changed.
  5. I don't mock Pattaya. These (sex) businesses allow income for some people like no other businesses. For instance they can be easily rented out to foreigners, they can employ unskilled staff, they provide opportunities for bribes, they mostly don't need much investment, they can be easily removed, they keep water buffaloes in good shape, they... But I think they should be moved to special zones for special tourists and not dominate the image of Pattaya. Most tourists have nothing to do with such businesses and are even annoyed - prostitution in many places in the city, noise pollution and other negative things.
  6. They need to build more red light districts to attract even more tourists - or so. I would like to know how many of these tourists visited sex businesses. I see many (often empty) bars occupying larger parts of the city. Some people still do whatever it takes to keep this Sin City image alive because they love these businesses so much - for whatever reason...
  7. You can convert it here from docx to doc for free. Not sure but perhaps this helps. https://onlineconvertfree.com/convert-format/docx-to-doc/
  8. Time to replace them by AI... ???? But here in Pattaya I did it this week and it was approved the next day. To make sure that you enter always the same data enter your passport number and select the country and then press the magnifying glass next to the country. All data from the last application will be filled in automatically. Check them - especially the dates - and submit it.
  9. It can be many things. At 2 of my Samsung devices the power button didn't work anymore. But compared to a new battery it was a cheap fix. In both cases less than 500 Baht.
  10. Perhaps only the battery is dead. Let it check at a repair shop. In case of batteries I always replace them at Samsung - don't want to burn down my hut...
  11. Which brand do you use and how do they die? Did you try to repair the file system with Windows? Did you try to reformat them? I have many SD Cards (almost 20) and use them a lot. For instance all movies that I play on my TV are transferred to SD Cards from my tablet or computer. And every movie has GB of data. And they are also in my phone and tablet where I write very many data to them. So far I had only 1 problem. I cannot write to this 128 GB SD Card anymore. But the data still can be read. This might sound great but is a problem. I still have warranty but since confidential data are on this SD Card too (was used in the tablet) I cannot ask for an exchange. And there is no way to delete the data.
  12. I have already bought from Chinese sellers with no reviews because there was no other option. I was not disappointed and they did a great job as I was their first customer and I left a great review. What I always do with such sellers is cash on delivery and I also do not use any money from my cashback balance. I have many trusted sellers where I order regularly things like pumpkin seeds, cashew nuts, aircon cleaners and other things. They are always prepaid and I also use money from the cashback balance. Also sellers with many positive reviews are in this category.
  13. I had a similar experience. Instead of something in a box, they sent me an envelope, which I didn't accept. But I'm getting tired of waiting for the delivery person. That's why more and more often I pay in advance and have it delivered to the reception of my condominium complex. I have witnesses there and I make an unpacking video for every item that has a higher value. In respect of fake sellers. Simply only buy if there are enough reviews already.
  14. The billionaire Harding with his very proud looking son on his space visit and Titanic "adventure": https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSLhXV4cg/
  15. I don't understand why these people did this. Just so they can say we were there? There are already enough pictures of the Titanic and they are of a better quality than what can be seen from a very small window. But up to them. They paid with their life. Money obviously doesn't protect against stupidity...
  16. Many of these people who give money are unaware that they make the situation worse. In addition the children are often borrowed to sit next to the beggar or they have to sell things like flowers. And according to their own statement the beggars earn up to 1000 baht a day: https://thepattayanews.com/2023/06/10/crackdown-on-cambodian-beggars-in-pattaya-continues/
  17. The same might happen for instance if you have a car accident while under the influence of alcohol. So nothing really special if the insurance does not pay.
  18. Most accidents are caused by people who don't drink - see stats below. What we learn from it ... ???????? Data source: https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/drunk-driving/
  19. This with Paracetamol and alcohol is correct. If I drink alcohol I don't take any pills and vice versa. And I know older retirees here that have to take pills all the time and can't drink one drop of alcohol because of this - or they will destroy their liver. But of course I see expats sitting here in the early afternoon already in bars and drinking every day. Boredom combined with heat and loneliness is not for everyone. And the older you get the less you can do. There are exceptions. Very old people that are still extremely fit. But I don't know many.
  20. This poll is not fair. If you are alone you are only allowed to drink less than 4 standard drinks a day. And less in this case means only up to 3 ???? And there is nothing to select if you mix the drinks with recreational drugs ????????????????.
  21. Yes. On the picture below can see all the many beer bars. This is Tree Town from the other side - but Tree Town didn't exist at this time. The red circle shows the same building that I marked red on the Google picture before. There were the show rooms from the planned condo project. A huge beer bar complex can be seen on this picture below. Or not?
  22. Swamp land was very, very long ago. But Tree Town didn't exist until 2016 The whole area was empty. Two brothers tried to build condos there. There was a big party and show rooms (red circle) but this project was stopped then. This picture is from Google Maps August 2016 (you can go back in time). On the PC I have my own pictures from this area but I am sitting here with my tablet now. So thank you Google.
  23. I think that's a very good price. I am also considering doing such a check. To go to Kalasin and return to Pattaya is about 1200 km. Does anyone know a good and cheap place in Pattaya or Chonburi? There was discussion here in this forum already but things change.
