  1. I use AIS fiber 1Gbps/500Mbps and never really have any problems, on the occasions when i do then i just go through NordVPN and problem disappears. Also doing speedtest to servers in Thailand is never going to give you a bad reading, better to use a speedtest service that has no affiliation with the Thai ISPs and do several tests to servers outside of Thailand. But like I said before your problem is most likely the latency rather than speed and your mid 200ms is a big latency gap, my ping to london servers is around 43ms.
  2. Speed of the connection is not usually the problem, if your speed test shows greater than 4Gbps download that is good enough for 1080p streaming. The problem is the package latency between the host country server and you. Have you tried pinging the server you are connecting with? Other than that all ISP's in Thailand throttle international bandwidth when the data throughput gets close to their contracted limit. If you want the best international bandwidth and latency go with CAT telecom.
  3. Try reading the full context of my reply instead of selective phrase picking; I said I know all my options regarding a new visa! But my original question was in respect to the options of changing the renewal date of my visa extension, but same as most threads on here it doesn't take long to go off topic.
  4. Yes, considered that option but its a use it and lose it option and it would mean visa renewal would fall in August, still in the summer period.
  5. That's got nothing to do with the question I asked! I know all my options for getting a new visa and starting al over again.
  6. My current visa extension renewal date falls at the end of June, this creates problems when wanting to visit family in Europe during the summer months. So I was curious as to whether it's possible to change the date of renewal and how to go about doing that?
  7. Jeez, I'd dread discussing a serious topic with you, I bet the people you associate with think your a real bundle of fun. Move on it's only a troll topic about how crap Thai food is.
  8. Well you got one thing right...... to die for!
  9. Bully for you, obviously easily pleased or is it the cheap Charlie factor? Because if you have had fantastic Thai food it certainly wasn't at general Thai eateries or street food, it was a high end restaurant which is not representative of what this OP is about.
  10. That's because you can't, you know full well you're wrong but just haven't got the gonads to admit it. So I'll spell it out for you, Thai food is in general scraps of cheap protein swimming in an unnutritious, sugar laden, salt laden, palm oil laden, MSG Laden broth, usually accompanied by the most bland, tasteless carbohydrate in the world...steamed white rice. That's why I cook at home and occasional treat me and the missus to a top end restaurant meal. Capisce!!
  11. If you think this is a contradiction to my original comment, you obviously have comprehension problems, it's the points I made in my original comment that drive the logic behind my post that you for some strange reason interpret as contradictory. Maybe you can enlighten us and explain your reasoning behind this?
  12. Woo...aren't you the macho man, did you need to look in a dictionary for that word.
  13. Obviously....Lol. I tend to cook 95% of what I eat at home where I control the quality, taste, salt, sugar and fat content. The other 5% is at restaurants that prepare and serve proper healthy and nutritious food generally using key ingredients that don't originate in Thailand. You're right though you certainly do get what you pay for, and I think that's the point of the Ops post.
