Furioso

Dongtan that's a Thai surname.

It's a great tablet but just too pricey for me . I ended up with the 12.1 inch Honor Pad 9 on sale at Banana for 9500 baht.

since he choked himself to death I consider him a hero.

The price is definitely right, do you have any problem with high temp and/or fan noise? I've heard of some people replacing the AMD thermal paste with a higher quality brand, like NHT 5.

https://www.advice.co.th/product/mini-pc/mini-pc-asus/mini-pc-asus-pn63-s1-b-s7130md Is this a good deal? I found this Asus Mini PC Intel i7 on sale for 16,000 baht. I don't want to buy the off brand Mini PC's as they are cheap but I want a higher quality. Specifically I'm looking for light and low fan noise.

Ok then they are thieves in a foreign country. Very dumb of them.

Moral of the story: you must behave yourself in a foreign country.. too many foreigners, tourists and expats disrespecting Thailand and the Thai people!

You got to pay your bill, to get beat up over a little baht is just stupid.

it was a little warm last month.

You're right, it's insane how much rent inflation is going on in the west, which is the main reason I live here in Thailand.

When I see prices in local stores going up I usually end up going to Makro more often lol. Also, although inflation here in Thailand has been increasing my rent has barely went up. I'm paying way less rent here than I would in my home country. It's so good to see my savings account go up instead of down I'll never live in another expensive country again.

In the last 6 months I've noticed many of the light pastries at 7/11 have gone up on avg 40-60%. Examples: Some from 15 baht to 20 baht Some from 15 baht to 25 baht Some from 20 baht to 25 baht Some from 25 baht to 30 baht

You're right, I see Europeans/Russians/Mideasterners driving fast in the rain all the time. Thais? Almost never.

It's definitely raised it's ugly head, a lot of prices have gone 50%, even 100%. Nowadays have to look for discounts. Rents have gone up too but thankfully we can still find cheap places to live because they overbuilt.

Yes, I pay with the QR code every month, with my Bangkok Bank App.

Oh yeah, it doesn't take long Quantum. I'll say America is 60% obese and Thailand is at least 40%. Thai stores are stacked to the ceiling with sugar junk. Thailand will be over 50% obese soon, if not already.

Yes, but this is in Thailand. The Global Obesity Observatory states that 11.6% of Thai adults are obese. I'm saying they're off by at least 300%! https://data.worldobesity.org/country/thailand-214/#data_prevalence

I know what you're saying but maybe nobody is noticing. I suggest going to a local supermarket and count the first 10 adults you see. I usually see 4-6 out of 10 that look grossly overweight.

I don't know why people don't fight the government on this issue. Billions of lives(yes, Billions not Millions) are being destroyed but very few people care and even fewer people take any action.

The stats may say America is 42% but I think it's much higher. For example I went to one busy supermarket in Las Vegas and I counted 32 out of 33 people in a row that looked obese. 96% obesity rate. That was a poorer neighborhood, I then went to a richer neighborhood supermarket and instead of everybody looking obese they just looked overweight or obese. Skinny people? forget it. There's only one relatively healthy state in the U.S. and that's Hawaii. I've been here in Thailand just a year and a half. There's a big difference in just that short of time.

I don't know, everywhere I go they're stocking crate after crate of sugar laden junk to the ceilings of stores/supermarkets. I have a feeling obesity/morbid obesity, which is already rising at an alarming level, is going to skyrocket for the next couple of decades.

The Global Obesity Observatory states that just over 12% of Thai's are obese. My eyeballs tell me much more, like 50% or more, are obese. How can there be so much disparity?

Okay, I followed ThioJoe on Youtube and performed an in place repair upgrade, which rewrites system files. It worked extremely well now my PC boots up in no time flat.

It's an i5 7500T with 8GB RAM on an SSD. I bought it used off of Lazada 1 1/2 years ago. It orig came with a HDD but I copied it over to a M2 nVME SSD but I need to completely wipe and reinstall Win 10.

I know my friends PC is not the latest and greatest but it's a speed demon compared to my mini. He has very minimal needs, like web and excel and that's about it. In the past he admitted he had been too cheap when he paid something like 6,000 baht for a used PC at Tukcom, where they sold him a stripped down Win 8 PC. That PC didn't have HDMI nor any sound at all. His new PC has 3 year warranty, he did it all via Line and it took only a day to get the PC. Yes, I know he could have got a much better PC for similar price but he doesn't delve into technology like probably you and I do. One thing's for sure, all this has convinced me I need a new PC very soon. My Mini takes over 6 minutes just to boot up into Win 10!
