Your idea to get cheap 6 TB disks is tempting. I talked to Advice about this product https://www.advice.co.th/branch-a004/index.php/product/productdetail/A0136865 It is even cheaper now with 2990. There is only one problem. "This one we don't have" I was told just before.

Sorry didn't realise that you simply want to have cheap harddisks to upgrade your current NAS. Is this correct?

You have SMR and CMR technology. My newer disks are SMR. Horrible write speeds sometimes. But I guess the OP is aware of these differences. For Seagate drives here is an overview https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/internal-hard-drives/cmr-smr-list/

Not all tourists are interested in parties, booze and sex. Some tourists avoid locations like Pattaya exactly because of this. It is not nice to stay in a noisy room with thin walls where your neighbours are sex tourists for instance. I have been living here very long. I could tell you many stories about sex tourists, drug users and alcoholics...

Perhaps they limit the packages below 30 Mbps. Somehow they have to limit them otherwise the limit wouldn't make any sense at these slower and cheaper packages. And perhaps the 30 Mbps is their max speed what these 2 companies don't offer. True Move does. But don't worry - you will not get these high speeds the whole day. At least with AIS at my location. Dtac I will check too when I will receive it hopefully tomorrow. I tested a lot with different speedtests. My major speed test is YouTube and videos at 2160p resolution in the evening. 3BB has no problem but... By the way - can anyone explain to me why the fonts is changing to bold in the middle of the text? I didn't press anything.

Did they say for how long they will enforce the 2am legal closing time? ☺️

You give them 3 times 10 Baht? Isn't this 30 Baht then?

Please not this discussion again. I showed you already that my AIS 30 Mbps package got 41 Mbps at your preferred "testmy.net" . I included the picture here in this thread before already. And this wasn't even the highest speed that I got at testmy.net. It was the first test result that I got after I saw your complaint and tested with testmy.net. From my experience until now these 30 Mbps packages are not blocked at 30 Mbps. But the speed will go down even below 30 Mbps in the afternoon and in the evening. More about this after the 6th of November.

Just an update. Always expect the unexpected... When my fried was here some weeks ago I tested her iPhone with Dtac 30 Mbps with 30 GB. I got very disappointing speeds - 5 Mbps down and up. Two days ago she was here again and I tested again and got again very disappointing results. But this time I saw that her phone was switched in the settings to 3G (see picture). I set it to 4G and we got download speeds of almost 70 Mbps (at her phone, didn't test with the router). As a result I ordered the Dtac 30 Mbps unlimited package and will include it in my tests. The packages I tested will then be True Move 300 Mbps using a 24 hours package. Then AIS 30 Mbps unlimited and Dtac 30 Mbps unlimited both from Lazada (see pictures). So far I can say that the router performs great. True Move wasn't good at my location. In respect of the AIS package there are clear speed changes during the day depending on the time of the day. Dtac I will receive tomorrow. More after the 6th of November. Then 1 month of testing will be over.

This venue had no license for selling alcohol or doing business at all. It needs to be completely closed. Also - did they pay any taxes?

The police should have closed this entertainment venue long time ago... An other question - do such illegal businesses pay any taxes?! "The pub’s manager faces four charges: 1. Selling liquor without permission, 2. Selling liquor after the legal time limit, 3. Operating an entertainment venue without permission, and 4. Allowing or failing to prohibit the carrying of weapons, explosives, or illegal drugs into the premises." https://thepattayanews.com/2022/10/24/update-raided-pattaya-clubs-manager-apologizes-for-fleeing-customers-arguing-with-police/

They should go to Germany. Everyone is welcome there... Only if you travel using a passport you might need a visa and will have to pay for food and accommodation yourself. Otherwise this will be for free.

This is strange. l have no problem with construction noise. Music noise gets on my nerves. But perhaps it would be the same with construction noise at night time. For whatever strange reason ???????????? construction is only allowed at certain times in our building ????????????. I also have Tinnitus. I can ignore it completely. I wished I could do the same with bar noise.

Here an extensive explanation of pension and taxes for Norwegians from the Thai government. It might give some ideas for other countries too. It is a PDF file that will be downloaded. https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/download/nation/Norwegian_answer.pdf

I know the regulation that if you transfer foreign income in the same year when you got it you will have to pay taxes here. So this is not correct what I assume?

And if noisy bars open next to you, just move - or what?

This is good. Correct me if I am wrong. I have the information that you will have to pay tax in Thailand if you transfer your pension directly to Thailand. Of course not if you transfer money from a foreign account.

I remember there was a time before the military government when the opening times were not extended but shortened. I think the idea was to get rid of this sex tourist image. Then the military government came and they extended the opening times of these entertainment venues pretty quick.

A friend of mine wants to use this 65000 version. Do you need to transfer the pension directly to a Thai account or can this be any amount from a foreign account as long as it is 65000?

I never had that urge in an other country. But here I always avoid stepping on such things.

Allow 4 am at locations where are no hotels or residential areas. But close them at midnight everywhere else. There are people that have to work and children that need to sleep. But also others don't want to be forced to be part of these entertainment venues whether they want or not. Also "motivate" these entertainment venues to operate behind closed doors. Not all tourists like to hear the noise and like to see the sex business.

It is 2 o'clock in the morning. The manager of this club for sure knows this. And now you too ????

There are laws against drugs and there are laws regulating the closing times. So you support people that don't care about laws?

Exactly. I stayed at my location for a while in a rented room. This on a higher floor but because they renovated this room I moved to a room on the ground floor for a while. Endless mosquitoes and bugs. Other people at the ground floor had in addition burglars and snakes. There is no other option if you are old or for whatever reason you can't use stairs. Then it is an advantage to have a condo on the ground floor.

Rule #3. Don't complain about many mosquitoes and other bugs and even snakes if you stay at ground level. Rule #4. Don't complain if burglars visit your rooms. Rule #5. Anybody? ????????????
