Only to be used for short term use. You will damage your eyes in the long term. And most people do have different eye strength for both eyes which no cheap glasses can cover.

It does not really matter how large your cup is. It does not mean that there is more coffee (quantity of beans used) inside. You can see that at Starbucks serving large cups with weak coffee. A cup size is relevant only in regard of the water quantity used in the coffee. 1 Americano by international standard is always 1 double Espresso (usually around 18 gr. of beans) filled up with water.

THAI's Sky-High Deal: 45 Dreamliners to Revamp Fleet
msbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I personally found the seats on Dreamliners very narrow with unsufficient leg room. -
Not for Pattaya especially but Thailand overall. I highly recommend to visit a hospital and get the eyes tested by a professional. My experiences with the shops selling glasses have not been very convincing. Let a doctor give you a prescription and order the glasses outside the hospital.

I got a message from Tiktok that I am now eligible for 3 different monetization programs. I can for example partner with brands and get cash rewards, I think this is to do promotional content like short advertisements. I can also join Tik Tok shop for creators and share products to receive a commission. I can also do promotional videos for artists to receive commissions. And yes, you need lots of subscribers for that.

Pension Tax Filing Report - Rejected
msbkk replied to patrickl's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
A good friend has filed in Pattaya and paid around 30,000 Baht in taxes last week. -
As pollution levels are very high at the moment I would like to give another update regarding PM 2.5 filtering. I did some really intensive testing during the last few weeks. First of all filter paper taped to the aircons can bring only a slight improvement with air so bad during this time. I suggest to use them only in addition to air purifiers. For those who use taped filter paper onto the fan I can assure you that it simply does not work when pollution is high. Even the air purifiers have to work hard to bring the AQI levels to green. Summary: buy a decent air purifier, if possible several of them in case you have a house or a condo with several rooms.

NO MENTION OF THE MASSIVE POLLUTION NUMBERS ANYMORE - WHY?

It certainly is in the news. You just missed it. -
Thailand Cuts Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days to Combat Abuse
msbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Bangkok Post reported this morning that the change in Visa duration has not been decided yet. It is just a proposal. -
Macro does not offer this.

Yes, out of 10 providers I tested 7 for a period of 12 months. Some were ok, but none were perfect.
-
I can only say that I tested at least 10 different providers and while some worked well for a while non did so in the long term. This does not mean that there might be one provider not tested by me who has a better service. To say that I am wrong is a bit of an overstatement.

4K or FHD on your tablet will not be the same on a large TV at all. It is a question of the monitor size. That's why for example Netflix charges much less on a phone or tablet in comparison to a large TV.

I had Smarters Pro on my TV and the resolution was not ok for certain providers. Of course you can watch it, but it is not HD. Other providers had real HD and Ultra HD but sooner or later buffering occurred or even a complete stop requiring a restart.
-
2 years ago I tested quite a lot of IPTV providers. There is no perfect IPTV. The only ones working had a decreased picture resolution meaning that sharpness was decreased. I guess this is the only way to provide a service with less buffering.

I personally like beans from Brazil (Santos or Cerrado). They usually have a smooth and mild chocolate caramel taste. There a many roasters offering these. Medium roast is fine for me, dark roast is more intense. For Thai beans go for Chiang Rai beans. I have visited different plantations in the North of Thailand and consider Chiang Rai the best. As mentioned coffee is a matter of personal taste, others might disagree with the above choices.
-
Coffee is a matter of personal taste. One person's favorite brew might not suit other people at all. I am using more than 1 kg of beans per month only for myself, occasionally even roasting myself. But because of the personal taste issue I will however not recommend certain roasters or beans.
-
Another update if someone is interested. I did some more testing. Filter paper taped to the aircons can in fact reduce AQI to a low level of 0.10 within a few hours. The air purifier does the same and even lower within a much shorter timeframe.

90 day App report with new Oz Passport
msbkk replied to Changbeer4me's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, the first report must be in person according to my knowledge. -
Just an update. I bought an air purifyer (Xiaomi) with built in sensor to check the difference. Today morning without any filtering of aircon fitted with additional filter paper AQI air quality index 0.38. When fixing filter paper to 50% of the in built plastic mesh filter of my aircon AQI went down to around 0.22 on mid level fan, not maximum. The air purifier inproved AQI to around 0.10 on automatic mode, not maximum speed. The filter paper has definitely an effect on air quality it is however not so perfect as the purifier.

Driving licence and permit to drive
msbkk replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The UK licence is sufficient if you are here as a tourist. If however you live here permanently must have to have a Thai license. At least this is according to my knowledge. And the Thai license it is easy to get with your UK license. -
Fascino has a few shops in Bangkok, Hua Hin and other provinces as well.

I got the prepaid EMV card which is used in combination with the app. It is basically a prepaid debit card which can also be used in shops for purchases. The registration of the MRT card was bothersome but I managed to do it with passport and driving license. There was a QR code printed in the package when buying the card. The card can be loaded by using your bank app and a QR code within the app. You can use any Visa or Mastercard instead to use the MRT system
