  1. I live near Pattya and my neighbor had the same problem. There used to be a little shack at the toll booth right outside of Pattaya but it's closed. We used this as an excuse for a trip to Bangkok. We parked at a toll booth right outside of BKK and they did everything but it took at least 30 minutes. I think they transferred the money from his old account into his now new account. The only mistake is he let the lady stick the new device on his window, which was a few cm from where he would have put it. It is good to get out of town every once in awhile, even if it's for stupid sh_t like this.
  2. I would recommend the VR repair Center on Soi Phuttha Bucha 36.
  3. I can understand Bignok's dilemma, here in Thailand everything is too cheap, too easy, no struggle. From my observation a lot of people(not all) fall into 3 categories. 1. Bored, low grade depression, don't know what to do with their life. 2. Just way too much overstimulation, whoring and drinking. 3. Wife/GF/Family. For many who don't want to go back to their home country, being a nomad is not a bad idea. Eventually a person will find a community that they fit in with. A life too easy is simply that, too easy.
  4. I've been looking at the HR-V. You can easily block the heat from the sunroof by installing Solar Gard window film on the outside of the sunroof. Solar Gard is used on buildings to reflect heat from sunlight.
  5. We're a long way from final analysis. I doubt Putin will ever give up so until he's incapacitated this stupid war will continue.
  6. I know you may not agree with me but it really pisses me off to see this..I've seen this in Panama as well, a poorer country than Thailand. They constantly market expensive items on TV, Radio,etc knowing 98% of the people can't afford it. I was with my girlfriend in Panama watching all these commercials and we'd look at each other and shake our heads. We'd drive by car lots with tons of repo's in the lot. Panama was the first country I lived in that had a very small % of people that had ANY money. They even had Lada dealers, people couldn't even afford those. The vulture capitalism is bad enough in the west..actually it's HORRIBLE and should be criminalized. But in my opinion, in Thailand it's a crime against humanity.
  7. Until last year, I had not been to Thailand since 2010. Now that I'm back I can see the huge difference, Thai's really seem much, much unhappier, it's obvious they are struggling mightily.
  8. The first thing I'd do is NEVER go back to that doctor or hospital ever again. The 2nd thing is realize you're generally healthy for your age, you're not experiencing any significant health problems. 3rd. You're fine for this year. All you have to do is find a better hospital for next summer. 4th. Don't trust doctors unless your symptoms line up with their discovery. and then, don't be afraid to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. 5th. Live long, and prosper. EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention. You mean to tell me they apologize profusely..SCREW THAT! They should have done way more than that! They should have given your money back or a free re-examination. THE HE_L WITH THEM!! Playing around with your health is no freaking joke!!!
  9. Fun Fact: Every country on earth that has potable tap water is considered an enemy by Russia.
  10. It was all downhill for British TV after they forced Benny Hill(the worlds greatest comedian) to become pc and then they still sacked him. What a load of rubbish!
  11. I love these Russian Berzerkers! I still remember the muzhik who destroyed a 7-11 on walking street in Pattaya a few months ago. He started off by headbutting his motorcycle driver!
  12. You fell off an 8 foot fence onto your head? You're lucky to be alive. That's at least a severe concussion, I'm not surprised you still have headaches. And you drank alcohol afterwards? What is it with people that come to Thailand, just obsessed with drinking all the time, even after a severe accident? You need to take care of yourself. Jesus.
  13. I speak for all of Tops.
  14. Yes, between 2pm and 5pm Daily.
  15. I asked a gal who worked at a Tops Daily and she said Tops took over every single Family Mart in Thailand. She also said "same store" meaning only the name has changed.
  16. I don't think 95 will help, after all you've never needed it before. If the problem continues I'd take it to a shop for servicing.
  17. Thanks again, lots of good links! I always thought Banana was a little too high on many of their items. I did get a great deal from them on a Fender Monterey bluetooth speaker though. I'm going to take the plunge and buy these Sony's. For awhile I was going to go with the Marshall Monitor II's, but so many are fake I don't want to take the risk..and I forget if they can receive LDAC signal. Have you had any luck with bluetooth headphones?
  18. Thanks, I never heard of Mercular. Do you think this LazMall store is legit? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sony-wh-1000xm4-i1775210448.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.58.6daa12cfz5B47a
  19. Those are the wireless earbuds. I'm looking at the wireless over the ear headphones - WH-1000XM4 vs. WF-1000XM4. I like the over the ears headphones because 1. much longer batter life; 30 hours vs. 5 hours. 2. Option to plug in to device via wire. 3. Probably more comfortable. I've never enjoyed wearing earbuds.
  20. I'm looking to buy the Sony XM4 wireless headphones. - Banana sells them for 11,000 baht. - A Lazada seller(LazMall Audio & Gadget) sells them for 8,500 baht, currently 866 5 star ratings. That's a savings of 65 EUR I wonder if buying from LazMall is worth the risk?
  21. I don't want you to think I'm a know it all, there's a lot of things I certainly don't know. I have decent experience as I worked in computer shops for 11 years. Let's just use a little logic here. You have an old PC, with a license you paid for. Now, many years later you want to upgrade to a new O/S. Yes, the shops know how to do this. They have the experience and the motivation. That Pattaya4U shop, and many others, are outstanding and cheap. Can we perform this upgrade? Nope, not really, it takes a lot of time, lot's of failures, high risk of losing everything, it's Microsoft which means it's a pain in the <deleted>. HUGE PAIN IN THE <deleted>. Also, if, for some reason your computer cannot be upgraded. The shop will tell you this, straight to your face. Conversely, if they tell you they can do it, they can and they will. It's great to be here in Thailand and get this outstanding customer service, for orders of magnitude cheaper than back in our home country.
  22. I'm sorry to say the upgrade cannot be done. sure, you can try and try but it's not worth it, and most likely will result in you losing everything. If, for some reason you have to upgrade your old Win 7 to 10 or 11 then save everything and take it to a shop. It's cheap and they will get it done. There's no other way.
  23. I'm starting to see the light. I had Facebook for about 10 years, never really enjoyed it and for some reason I felt like I HAD to have a Facebook account. You know, friends, family, business contacts, marketplace. Then, last year I found out my old boss from 35 years ago died. His son took over his account to tell everybody that he passed. The guy was like a father figure to me, when I was 22 and out of control I got into some serious trouble..he was the only one who told me the truth "you're going to lead a hard life, accept it now or it will be way worse". Such insight, it hurt because I knew he was right, the very first time I saw what other people saw. I respected him for that stinging observation. When he died I deleted my damn Facebook account, and no Twitter either.
