Second phase of Thai-Chinese high-speed rail project approved
NoDisplayName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's expensive. Over US$9 billion Impressive? The Kunming-Vientenne high-speed rail line is 1022 km long, built on schedule in 5 years with 62 km of bridges and 198 km of tunnels. What's impressive is the total cost of US$6 billion. Hub of "Anything you can do, I can keep studying by committee for decades!" -
Water tank empty daily, no visible water leaking anywhere

Do you have a shutoff valve on the line from the tank to the pump? Shut off the outflow from the tank to confirm water level drop. -

NoDisplayName replied to how241's topic in DIY Forum
Post a photo of the water tank with piping to the pump and then into the house. The water flows thru the supply line outside the tank up to the top where it enters thru a float-operated valve. The water cannot flow back out to the street. Turn off all taps in the house. Does the water pump cycle? If so, then leak under the house. If not, and the water level in the tank drops, then you probably have a crack in the bottom of the tank and the water is draining into the ground. -

Wise to Krungthai
NoDisplayName replied to Gecko's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Well, there ya go! They sent Euros via SWIFT to your Thai bank. Thus they were charged the SWIFT fee, AND they got the local Thai bank currency conversion rate, NOT the advertised Wise baht rate. -

Whoever sent you the money deducted 25 Euro. You'll have to ask them why. Did they send a Euro SWIFT from their bank to Wise? -

Least Money in Bank.
NoDisplayName replied to NoshowJones's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I believe you can go below 2000 baht for up to a year with no activity before the account is declared inactive and monthly service fees will commence. You can drop to 0 baht and still have one year before the account is closed. I withdrew all funds from a Krungsri savings account, the clerk would not close it at the time, said it would close automatically. It remained open with 0 baht for two years, no activity, no service fees. -
Mexico Retirement Visa From Bangkok

You'd have to call the embassy to confirm, but often a person with a long-term visa in a third country is considered resident there for visa application purposes. -

First, you make it difficult to reach unapproved sites, necessitating a VPN. Then you discourage use of VPN's and prohibit advertising thereof. Not illegal, just hard to find and maintain. Then you block search terms for VPN's and workarounds from the approved search engines. Then of course you block the official, and mirror, VPN download sites. And then you disrupt connections to the VPN's external server locations, either block completely or throttle to a slow crawl. It's a constant game of VPN's adding servers and mirror sites, and the government adding more bricks to the great firewall. Not always as easy as sending an email. Even with constant upgrades and patches and new servers, the VPN's can't manage to keep up with the new tricks during party congresses. So that's a couple weeks a year that it's nearly impossible to use your already installed and running VPN.

It's not about blocking the sites completely, as the overlords understand that is impossible. There will always be a way to circumvent the restrictions. The idea is to make it so frustrating that most people will not bother, and will simply take the path of least resistance. It's not illegal, nor prohibited. It's so frustrating as to not be worth the effort.
