Retirement visa/extension, the small print
JetsetBkk replied to L0St's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I didn't realise you were in Phuket! (I know it says so under your name - I just forgot to check until now.) I've been to Phuket Immi ... checks old passports ... 18 times for my O-A renewal. Never a problem, never used an agent. -
What type of box to connect from wifi to smart tv ?

Much appreciated! ???? -
What type of box to connect from wifi to smart tv ?
JetsetBkk replied to gimo's topic in Audio Visual AV
I've been getting adverts from Expressvpn on my phone. I've not had problems yet with my IPTV provider, but it's cheap enough just to get it anyway. Is there anything I have to do to get it to work with my Android box? I don't want to screw things up. -
Skinned crocodile found dead on Sri Racha beach

According to my Thai friend (at time 0:35), even monitor lizards are eaten. -

Ditto - both about the same ages, both connected to a "Magicsee N5" Android box. But the last couple of days, 3BB has had a problem providing the IPTV signal. The TV would pause and continue between 10 and 30 seconds. But this morning, after 10:30am, it started working normally. The IPTV company said it was a 3BB problem and I believe them. -

I disagree. He made a joke about Amazon and said "IPTV" instead of "IPTV provider". There are people who live outside the "tech" world. -
Stray dogs caught after chasing after tourists and residents in Phuket
JetsetBkk replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Yes, "Ugh", they are so ugly. Here's a really violent bunch fighting! Or is it just friends having a "rough and tumble", and totally ignoring the farang with the camera... This vicious dog even gave me a kiss... When they're young, they do like to play... Until it's time for bed... So, as well as dogs and puppies, there are also birds... And more puppies (eating my food)... And some really nasty looking lizards... Not all the monkeys are the same... But when it's hot, there's only one place to be... This was a nice trip down memory lane. I see from Google Earth that the hill is open again - new pictures are from this year - so I'll be going again very soon. -

The place must've changed since I stopped going there when Covid started. I used to feed the dogs and monkeys 2 or 3 times a week when I walked up from the car park near the small temple to Channel 3 at the top. The dogs I fed 8 years ago must've grown up to be so vicious. They certainly weren't a problem when I went there. -
Same for me - the sub menu starts to appear as soon as I type the first letter "o", and gets refined as more letters are added. But clicking on any of those items gives the "No results" response. With Firefox, I also have to log in using the emailed Security Verification, and the sub menu appears the same way as in Chrome, BUT the items work and I get a page of results.

And there's more... I just tried to download a file that I uploaded to Drive last year. A link appeared (sorry, I didn't do a screen capture) so I clicked it: So I did that - added drive.google.com to the sites that can use third party cookies - and downloads now work. Is this another Windows Update effect?

I'm thinking that the recent Windows Update has changed the way my PC talks to Lazada's website, and that their website has not been updated to allow this change to work correctly. So the "Security Verification" (which has probably always been there) is now invoked by Lazada's website because their website can't verify/remember who I am. Their website needs updating, I believe. AliExpress, on the other hand, still works fine. Maybe they've already updated their website in preparation for whatever the Windows Update has done, or maybe their website doesn't do the "Security Verification" process at all, and lets anyone log in.

While checking the post above, my Windows 10 computer froze. I couldn't scroll the page, so I ran Process Explorer from SysInternals. I wanted to kill Chrome. Process Explorer started OK, then froze. So I tried to shutdown. The Start button did nothing - no "Shutdown" appeared. As there was no disk activity, I powered off, paused and then on again. It appears to be OK now. I wonder how much of this is due to yesterday's Windows update, or is it a pure coincidence that something serious - some hardware failure or software loop - just happened to my PC the day after the update.

So here's what I have to do now to login in: Now they don't even remember who I am: The SMS has never worked, so I choose the email method: The email arrives, in Thai (?): Enter the code on the web page before the 60 second timer expires: Yippee, I can log in! Of course, the search function still doesn't work:

Ditto for me, but I AM running IPTV at the moment, so that must be using some bandwidth.

What the heck is going on? NOW, they want to send me a code by email before I can log in!! Next time it happens, I'll screen capture the initial message before I click on "Send Email" because there is another option for getting the Verification Code: "Send code by SMS", as opposed to "by Email". But that didn't work a few hours ago - no SMS received. Something has really got screwed up at Lazada. AliExpress is OK on Chrome + Windows 10. i'm still thinking it may be something to do with cookies not being remembered after the Windows 10 update this morning.
