Check with your local providers if they have a WiMax type solution, should be cheaper / faster than mobile data and they will tell you when fibre becomes available.

 

When we moved in I expected to get ADSL (we are a bit far out), "sorry no lines"! Argh. Why not use WiMax (it was ToT i don't recall the actual name)? It worked well most of the time (6km to the tower) then the resort nearby paid for a fibre trunk!!

 

Our pet ToT chap asked "why don't you get fibre" whilst sorting a problem for us. "We can get fibre?" says me. Two weeks later we had what is now 1Gb down, 500Mb up (it keeps getting quicker for the same $$$).

I could do with a bit of luck like that, the village i lived in prior to moving is about 4 km away and there are 2 big masts just outside the village, Mrs says one is dtac and the other is True, when you say local providers who would that be ? the closest decent sized towns are Chumpae Kohn Kean province or  Wang Saphung Loie province

Don't do that. Just get a new Prepaid SIM.... TODAY. They have a special promo that runs out after tomorrow. They won't tell you about it, so don't ask. Just get a new 50 baht prepaid SIM and then come back here for further advice.

Can i get one from a 7 or a small Lotus ?

pay 3BB extra? ????

I said to the Mrs whilst in the shop can i pay extra but the girl behind the counter didn't seem interested it was the same in the True shop 

Hi all hoping someone can point me in the right direction, as the title suggests i have built a house even further out in the sticks and when i tried to get 3BB to install fibre broadband they said they would need 3 additional customers in the vicinity of my house  i suppose to make it worth their while. There are probably about 5 houses within a mile or so but the occupants are usually in the fields 12 hrs a day not sat at laptops so doubt they would be interested, I have been using my dtac sim (I upgraded the package to unlimited costs over 1000b per month) to watch TV through my laptop (iPlayer, Sky go) and firestick but its not a patch on fibre and keeps freezing my question is are there any better options for me ?  I am not really IT literate in any way so simple suggestions only please TIA

Back in the old days guys in Pattaya could go talk with Father Ray and take one of the orphan gals off his hands. The Pattaya orphanage was primarily interested in taking care of the little kids, so when the orphan gals got around ages 18,19,20 they really wanted them to move on and make room for more incoming kids.

As I said, there is a lack of clarity re required duration. But people have reported being able to enter with just 30 day insurance despite re entry permits or visas that allowed much longer stays.

Thanks for that I just remembered some posts a few weeks / months back saying you had to have insurance commensurate with the remaining length of stay on your visa / extension upon re entry

On 1/24/2022 at 12:34 PM, Sheryl said:

While your stay may be over 30 days, people have been able to get TP and allowed to enter with just 30 days cover.

So just for clarity if on a Non o retirement extension with 6 months remaining you can return to Thailand with 30 days of cover ?

Sorry if I'm a little off topic but i think reading and writing Thai may be a little beyond me, I know loads of Thai words and Phrases and can usually pick up what the Mrs and another Thai person are speaking about but if i ask a question in Thai i am Bug%ered with the reply in Thai, any help very welcome

if your name, address, photo, phone number, and exactly how much cryptocurrency you own was stolen from a cryptocurrency exchange and being sold to the highest bidder on a darknet market?

- if that information was sold not by the sophisticated russian hackers who got access to the cryptocurrency exchange database but by the exchange employees themselves, who are working for a minimal wage as a customer support representatives but wishing for a better life?

- if the KYC process is outsourced to the "third party KYC provider" residing in the different country so even the cryptocurrency exchange does not know who exactly handles your personal information and how do they store it?

 

Do you realize that you could not sue the cryptocurrency exchange or the "third party KYC provider" for losing or sharing your personal information?

Do you realize that passing KYC could cost you a life?

 

Why do you accept KYC?

Many thanks for the post I now know exactly what my dog is thinking when i blow in her face ????????????

1. Semaglutide is available in Thailand only as Ozempic which is a once a week injection. Expensive and you have to get from a pharmacy or clinic as it is prescription only.

 

2. It is illegal to import medications by mail without an FDA permit. In practice small quantities often get through if sent regular mail. By courier, almost always stopped at customs.

Hi Sheryl

I've only just seen the OP my pharmacist has quoted me 8000 baht for a 4 dose pen does this seem about right ? TIA
