  1. The easiest way to order a Thunder SIM card is on Shopee from the official NT mobile store. Best to order the 30 day SIM first to test the signal is acceptable and make sure your device supports Band 40. I had a decent Huawei 4G router from the UK but unfortunately it doesn't support band 40.
  2. I'm using the Thunder SIM in my 8th floor condo in BKK. It still works but the signal is not great.
  3. As I expected the TOT thunder is approximately 3 times faster in the tablet compared to the router. From what I understand, TOT have 60 MHz of spectrum on band 40 so devices that support 3CA (carrier aggregation) can have 3×20MHz simultaneous connections to increase the speed. I also have the same TOT thunder SIM card but it's a shame that decent routers above CAT 4 are so expensive.
  4. It seems like the official Xiaomi replacement filters are around 800-900 baht but the knock-off ones are a lot cheaper. Has anyone tried any unofficial Xiaomi replacement filters?
  5. I feel déjà vu like I've posted this before....was there a similar article last year?
  6. So probably December at the earliest...
  7. The key word is SHOULD. People should not listen to government suggestions but decide for themselves. Wearing a mask is not compulsory.
  8. I did ask about this but the haemotologist seemed quite knowledgeable with good English and he said it was unnecessary because if I had bleeding then my MCV would be low. He agreed only one parasite test is not that reliable but this type of anemia wouldn't be caused by parasites. With regards to my eosinophil count he said he calculated the absolute value or something and it's actually normal. He advised to repeat the CBC in 2 months to see if anything changes since I don't have any noticeable symptoms.
  9. Yes the results were nearly identical but eosinophil slightly lower.
  10. Stool test was negative for parasites and occult blood. Haemotologist said it's anemia of inflammation since my MCV is normal but still don't know the cause. It could be from my chronic prostatitis.
  11. Most fairly recent Samsung TVs have USB ports to play files directly from your hard drive. Annoyingly they don't support the DTS audio codec though since they were too stingy to pay for the license.
  12. Yes the doctor already suggested a stool test for parasites and occult blood which I will try to take on Saturday. Since the health check was 2 months ago and my employer only gave me the results yesterday (funny how the results said see a doctor immediately), I also had a repeat blood test taken yesterday and also a tumor marker blood test. I'll get the results next week. My main worry is bowel cancer or something as bleeding in the digestive tract seems like a common cause of low haemoglobin in men. Unfortunately I haven't done a health check in years so I don't have a baseline Hb to compare with but they never told me it was low before.
  13. I just got some abnormal results from my annual health check (31Y Male): Low Hb and Hct (mild anemia?), High Eosinophils. I saw a GI doctor today but their English wasn't great and I'm still quite confused. It seems like the high Eosinophils could be caused by a parasite but from reading online it seems like it wouldn't really cause the mild anemia. I eat a lot of pork so I would be surprised if it's a diet issue. Can anyone advise? Thanks
  14. Shhhh don't let the serfs know that! Thai manufacturers will use any excuse to increase their wide profit margins and price gouge.
  15. It's because they kicked out Chevron from the Erawan gas field so PTT could take over. But then they tried to shaft Chevron for the cost of decommissioning transferrable assets so there was a long dispute that means new gas production has been delayed about 2 years.
  16. Best to use an agent with the right connections to skip this requirement...
  17. BTS also make plenty of money from advertising and sky walks so I think the fares are way too high. Apparently Central pay them 500 million baht a year just for the Central Ladprao sky walk.
  18. It's a fact that the moon landings were real...no matter how much conspiracy theorists like yourself don't want it to be true. As a science teacher you should open your eyes and do more research. During the landings the whole world was watching and the missions were tracked by radar from several countries on the way to the Moon and back. Spacecraft from China, India and Japan have also spotted the Apollo landing sites, providing further independent verification of the landings. https://www.iop.org/explore-physics/moon/how-do-we-know-we-went-to-the-moon#gref
  19. https://aseannow.com/topic/1279439-before-i-complain/?do=findComment&comment=17761609 The OP teaches science and believes the moon landings were faked, and he thinks it's okay to teach students that the Earth is flat. I think I can see the correlation here between teachers' salaries and the quality of some teachers. Unfortunately most schools here prioritise costs over quality of education.
  20. I'm guessing made in China and assembled in Thailand.
  21. Channel 7HD had much better coverage yesterday than True4U which is only in standard definition and looks very pixelated on a reasonably sized TV. Both channels support English commentary though if you adjust the settings on your TV. On my TV Channel 7 is actually on channel 35 though which seems a bit odd.
  22. So if 15% tax goes to FIFA, to whom does the rest of the money go to...?????
