What's cheaper nowadays?
A lot of stuff at Supersports. Buy online at totally different prices than their shops. I have bought several pairs of Skechers for 900+ baht. Prices begins at 4000 where I come from!

Long term visa needed for 5 year motorcycle license?
What I meant was that it would be strange if they expect a COR if I was staying in a hotel - or many hotels.

Long term visa needed for 5 year motorcycle license?
I am about to renew my first license. I am here on a METV. If they only give me 2 years based on tourist status, they can not be expecting a residence certificate, can they?

Visiting Vietnam
Never use taxis in Hanoi as their meters are rigged. One time I tried to negotiate a fixed price, but when we left, I could see on Google Maps he was going to opposite direction. He suddenly had a new price. You might read that some companies are reliable, but that is not allways true in my experience. I was in Saigon a couple of weeks ago, and there were many taxi scammers at the airport as well. I used Grab and everything worked perfectly. You can buy an eSIM beforehand so that you are ready to go as you land. I think I paid $4 for 5 days.

Lazada, Why so much stuff "Out of Stock"
Everytime I read about online shopping in here - it is always Lazada. I have never used Lazada, but use Shoppee, and I never have a problem. What am I missing - is Lazada a better platform? Btw - there are "fake" shops on Shoppee, but it only takes a few seconds to spot them. Dont know if this is the same on Lazada!

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
I absolutely love Survivor US, and just finished season 47. Craving for more, I checked if UK ever produced this show, only to find that there are only 3 seasons. Does that mean it is not worth watching?

BBC iplayer completely Blocked even with VPN's
Tailscale is only establishing the connection and data is encrypted, so I dont think there is anything to worry about. No need to use Duck DNS as CGNAT is no issue.

BBC iplayer completely Blocked even with VPN's
I use Tailscale and set my Rasp as exit node. No static IP needed.

BBC iplayer completely Blocked even with VPN's
I have had similar problems with different VPNs. Now I have solved the problem for good. I bought a Raspberry Pi (a small computer same size as a pack of cigarettes, for those who dont know). It is cheap - like 2000 Baht - and uses very little electricity - so it is turned on all the time. I made it into my own private VPN server. Not only is this VPN working perfectly, it is also using the same IP as the house that pays for TV subscriptions - as it is located at there. It would be impossible for the TV distributers to know anything. Now you probably think you are going to be a computer expert to do this. Well, I know a little, but I have never worked with Raspberry/Linux before. I simply asked AI how to do this and that. It would come up with exact commandline instructions - step by step. I was very surprised I could get this working - but now it is. I can explain more about software, if someone wants to give it a go!

Online Booking Platforms
To me it depends on the flight. If domestic or neighboring country I book the cheapest option. It is not that big a problem if something goes wrong - and it never did. Flying to Europe I am happy to pay a little extra booking at the airline instead. Important to have customer service at the airport. I never buy baggage at first. I would buy closer to departure, as you would get no refund, if something came up, and you had to cancel the trip. Also some of these companies offer the ticket cheaper, but the baggage more expensive - so book baggage directly at the airline. Done that many times with AirAsia - I am sure you can do the same with other companies.

Thai Woman Denied Entry to South Korea Over Odd Immigration Query
Maybe I am missing something here. She was denied entry, because she could not answer questions about her hotel. She never got to the hotel, so how would she be able to answer the questions, if she was never there?
