There's refurbished corporate Lenovo ThinkCentre's on lazada from about 3000 baht to 5000 baht, depending on the model and CPU. www.lazada.co.th/products/mini-pc-lenovo-thinkcentre-m700-cpu-core-i5-6400t-i4705541447-s19397772930.html I'm in Udon Thani and bought a similar i5 ThinkCentre M700 for 3000 baht from a reseller at Tukcom, our local IT plaza. It came with W10. I replaced the HDD with an SSD, added a Wifi/Bluetooth dongle.

Hardly a coincidence?

I was offshore being paid in USD when Truss's "lettuce" administration and Kwarteng's disastrous budget. I was around +11% on my final invoicing paid in the UK which also translated as more baht for my £ over here.

Yes, they would prefer a weaker baht. What we are seeing is natural, short-term forex attrition, therefore they don't need to manipulate anything, so no need for a "helping hand" (yet).

As Spock would intone, "Illogical Captain."

My house was built over 15 years ago and 'future-proofed' with coax distribution, but nobody ever hooked up to it. The internet and cable guys always wanted to drill holes and run their own stuff. So much for future-proofing in Isaan. I would give PLC a try but as mentioned earlier,

Yes, I agree. Having great gobs of money, and doling it out, makes everyone honest and happy.

Yes, I agree. If a truly honest president had been elected, it would have, could have been sooooo much better.

Correct. The way I understand it, the "from overseas" only applies to those renewing an extension using the proof of monthly income method.

The (lying and deceitful bought-and-paid-for) mainstream media are commenting on how QUIET Donald Trump has been in the three days since winning the election. By all accounts, he's QUIETLY holed up a Mar-a-Lago apparently with classical music heard streaming from the grounds. In contrast, on aseannow...

Yep. Anybody with half a handle on the basic conspiracy theories will be running with this, like a daft dog chasing a car.

And then you posted, and the dumbness quotient simply skyrocketed.

Oh, look mum! Another arrogant blether.

This "My affirmation echo chamber is better than your affirmation echo chamber" debate brought to you by...

No, do not presume to tell me anything, thanks. You're just another, arrogant blethering skite.

I was responding to @mogandave. Who rattled your cage?

The Democrats aren't big on affirmation echo chambers. Never have been. That's why it is quieter now.

Self-help... awesome!

Yes, I recall someone having a rough stab at the American demographic in Thailand in another thread, and it was observed that bigger cities like Bangkok appears to have more Democrats whereas the tourist traps like Pattaya have more of the MAGA sect. I am not sure how that translates to other farang enclaves like Phuket, Samui or Chiang Mai, so I will take your word for it. Personally, when I lived in Pattaya, most of the Americans who were regulars at one of the bars I frequented were ex-military and rabid Trump followers. These guys were decent and fun to drink with, but if someone raised politics, they became obnoxious and loud, and would pull more and more extreme first-term Trump conspiracy theory stuff out of their arses, like the birther conspiracy and 'Mike' Obama. It was like a puerility competition. That was usually a signal for me to pay my bill, and leave them to their nonsense. So, back to the OP, I am not sure if the casual acquaintance non-American you meet is going to be overly concerned about your politics. I am sure that most may have already formed a generic one-size fits-all opinion of all Americans. Anyway, talking politics with comparative strangers is a bit crass, no? There's no need to bring your butt hurt to the table, as that may just enforce the opinion they already have, or otherwise.
