They also have a router for sale with the 1 year SIM card.

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.

I'm using the Thunder SIM in my 8th floor condo in BKK. It still works but the signal is not great.

Now to the speed tests. Here again the warning. These tests are at my location with my devices. At your location it might be worse or better. You can only find this out by testing. With my results I only want to give you an idea. Especially "delicate" is the Thunder package. It is a data only SIM and when I applied I had to enter the latitude and longitude of my location and the system told me if it MIGHT be possible at my location. But more how I got all these SIMs later. Especially in the case of the Thunder SIM it wasn't easy...

 

Let's start with the TOT NT Thunder. It has unlimited speed (the sky is the limit ????) and unlimited data.

 

The first 2 pictures show the Thunder package in the router and the next two pictures in the tablet. At the picture 4 you see the problem of testmy.net. It is more a speedtest lottery. The lowest value is 72 Mbps and the highest value almost twice as much with 140 Mbps. But some posters insist on these results and therefore I post them. The red number at testmy.net test is the upload speed. 

 

Perhaps there are higher speeds possible. I tested a couple of times and not until I got the highest results. 

 

At this occasion a remark - the max 3BB VDSL download speed was between 50 and 60 Mbps. 

 

Next will be the DTAC SIM. 
 

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.

National police chief Pol.Gen. Damrongsak Kittiprapas and director-general of the Land Transport Department Jirut Wisanjit signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU ) to link electronic information to enforce the traffic law and to reduce traffic violation and road accidents.

A Memorandum of Understanding lol. I'm sure that'll teach 'em!

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?

So probably December at the earliest...

parasite test should be done multiple times, minimum 3x. Chances of detection are low, 10-15%.

Also occult blood 3x over time.

No harm trying several different antiparasitic medicines. If there would be strong reaction it would indicate you do have them.

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.

Did you repeat the CBC?

Yes the results were nearly identical but eosinophil slightly lower.

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.

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.

Well...if it's in the Daily Mail then it must be true right ????

Have you had your ferritin levels checked also? 

No I don't think so.

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.

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

21 % rise in energy cost, cost of manufacturing is a different thing it includes many other costs.

Shhhh don't let the serfs know that! Thai manufacturers will use any excuse to increase their wide profit margins and price gouge.

Best to use an agent with the right connections to skip this requirement...

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.

Read my posts again, I NEVEr said I believed the Earth was flat,

 

What I said was- No one here can be 100% sure the Earth is round ........unless you've actually been up into outer orbit seen it with your very own eyes.

 

I or You can be 99% sure its round - with using scientific methodology that is round but never 100% sure. 

 

And as a science teacher I would obviously never teach my students the Earth is flat. 

 

But its always good to question reality. 

 

1) Do Governments Lie so suit their own agendas? Yes all the time.....About the Iraq War, etc 

 

2) Is Science Always The Right Or Correct Answer, No. Just look at the evidence coming out casting a negative light on the vaccines. Search Dr John Campbell on youtube who was an adamant supporter of vaccines no he seems extremely worried

 

3) Do I believe it was possible for NASA to land a huge rover on the Moon in 1969, beam back LIVE footage of the first steps on moon, have a launch vehicle able to rendezvous with the lunar module orbiting at 18,000mph...........

 

In the year 1969, when there's more computing power in your iphone than all the spacecraft of that era...........No........Simple impossible in my view.   Have you even seen the Artemis footage.......they can't even get a continuous live feed...........just low resolution 240p with a few seconds of blurred footage here and there 

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.

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.

I'm guessing made in China and assembled in Thailand.

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.
